Em 'Mamabear' McGowan returns to look at death and dying here in Portugal with her resident feature - 'The Departure Lounge'.

Her special guest is David 'The Naked Pastor' Hayward - a pastor turned artist painting, drawing, and thinking about what it takes to be 'free to be you'.

"In case you’re wondering, I’m not actually naked," says David. "The idea behind my name, NakedPastor, is to seek to tell the naked truth - no matter how vulnerable it feels. I used to be a pastor but I’ve been creating art and working towards freedom with this community for over 10 years now."

Join us in our mutual love of Portugal (and life, with all its ups and downs) with the GuMPer news desk, all-points weather, community input from all angles, throughout our upbeat and cheerful 90 daily minute get-together.

David Hayward served the church for about 30 years, then left the ministry in 2010.

He’s been running the 'naked pastor' blog since 2005 where he posts his provocative cartoons and articles, as well as his artwork.

He launched an online community called The Lasting Supper, a place for people to change without being judged or instructed, and where they can learn to become spiritually independent.

He’s been cartooning, making art, writing, and speaking around his core passions: personal authentic freedom, the power to change our own lives, community, and the creative spirit to make our world a better place.

He and his wife live in eastern Canada. They have three adult children.
