about

My name is David Hayward. I have been Lisa’s husband for over 30 years. We are the parents of three grown children.

I have a couple of masters in divinity, theology and ministry, as well as other degrees.

I have been a pastor of local churches for over 25 years. I was baptized Anglican, came to faith as a Baptist, was a Pentecostal youth, was ordained in the Presbyterian, and received extensive spiritual direction in the Roman Catholic church. In 1995 I became the pastor of a Vineyard church. I respect and appreciate all religions, faiths, and spiritualities, as well as agnosticism and atheism.

I have extensive training and experience in counseling, spiritual direction and pastoral care.

I survived a traumatic church split. So did the church.

I worked for a large international ministry.

My mission is to help all those who need assistance finding and walking their own spiritual path with joy, confidence and wisdom.

I’m also a cartoonist, artist and teacher. My images are manifestations of my spirituality.

I’m older than I look. And wiser.
