Kyle Armentrout-Steward

Spiritual Director / Illustrator

Alton, IL, USA
I am a wanderer who believes that God is found in broken and desolate places.

I seek God whose name is 'ehyeh 'aser 'ehyeh which means "I will be whom I will be".
I am breath & life, dust and bone.
I believe that "Love Does".

I have joined the Rebel Alliance as bearded, bald, and beautiful.

I am a creative,
outdoor enthusiast,
doer of ugly dancing,
husband,
dad,
son,
brother,
friend,
theology-nerd,
coffee addict,
Sasquatch fan,
liberationist,
wanderer, seeker,
sharer of hope,
lamenter, rejoicer,
broken, made new.

My passion for others and community has led me to participate in the work of justice with people experiencing homelessness, worked with the Peace and Justice Commission of Liberia for clean water sustainability, and helped churches and communities re-imagine what it means to be church.
