The second half of my conversation with David is just as good as the first! David describes how the events in his life all came together in what felt to him like a perfect storm. He was a mess, numb and in shock after leaving his ministry of 30 years! He talks about what got him in trouble with the church before he left. He has some great insight into the sense of purpose a minister feels in church, then how difficult it is to find that same purpose outside the church.  Another insight I loved were his comments on having compassion for our former Christian selves. The result of this is extending that compassion to those around us. A positive and wonderful message! This journey, although difficult, was exciting. It was like being a pioneer who's finding his own way.     https://nakedpastor.com     haywardart@gmail.com     https://thelastingsupper.com     Lawrence O'Donnell Losing His Mind! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYqsY50tUv4
