"You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you!" Philippians 4:13

Dr. Shon Kyle is the Founder and Executive Director of Faith Forward Ministries, a non-profit organization dedicated to encouraging, serving, and teaching others how to manifest their destiny through holistic faith.

This mother of 5 encourages people to move forward in life holistically through faith to become their best selves physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually!!!! She is a best-selling author and  radio show host of The Morning Lift Show which is broadcast every Monday morning on iHeart Radio, Spreaker, TuneIn, Roku, Apple Podcasts, and more! She has a B.A., M.Ed., J.D., and Ph.D. all from the University of Illinois. She spent nearly 20 years in higher education law teaching and executive administration before answering her call to ministry. In 2020, she graduated from ministry school and became a licensed minister with a passion for holistic faith & wellness!

You would never know her journey from riches to rags to riches again by merely looking at the “Cosby Show Book Cover” of her life.....family, education, career, big home, vacations, galas.....you get the idea. She had it all! Raised in an affluent suburb of Chicago with two college-educated professional parents. She was a high school track star, basketball homecoming queen, AP Honors student, college scholarship recipient, first person in her family to earn a law degree and primed for success. She was married for 20 years to her college sweetheart and they lived in a big home, drove the best cars, attended a megachurch where they were actively involved in leading marriage ministry, and were well respected in the community. They were raising five outstanding, athletic, mannerable, intelligent, beautiful “super-kids” involved in all the right affluent organizations and attending the best private schools. She was a member of the most elite women’s clubs, organizations, and social groups to network with all the right women. Her family traveled together, prayed together, and played together.....she had become her dream of a family like “The Cosby Show”, the show she grew up watching and used as her inspiration of achieving the “perfect” professional and affluent family life. That life was a perfect life.....until it wasn’t!

Shon tells her audience the real truth about her traumatic downward spiral into homelessness, pennilessness, and character assassination that is uncensored, unedited, and raw! Shon has overcome molestation and abuse, hair loss and health damage from lupus, betrayal of girlfriends she thought had her back, traumatic divorce from a narcissist, and a not guilty verdict following a wrongful termination coupled with a retaliatory 17-count criminal indictment...all intended to steal, kill, and destroy her! But with her faith in God, and through her sheer will to survive, thrive, and then revive her life, she has the comeback story to be here!

She has overcome her past by using her time-tested faith forward holistic approach to life. This included making changes physically with a healthy diet and exercise, mentally with mediation on the word and positive self-talk, emotionally with trauma therapy and visualization conceptualization, and spiritually through daily prayer and devotionals, as well as fellowship with other believers at her home church. God isn’t done with her yet so she continues to employ these methods to propel her into manifesting her destiny.

She has audacious tenacity for life developed through her faith, and now uses her teaching and administration career skills to encourage, coach, and teach others how to tap into theirs, make a plan, hustle and WIN!

Her bestselling book,Faith It! Take It! Make It!, provides easy to follow steps to move forward in life through faith and the importance of believing (finding faith), receiving (faith found), and achieving (faith forward).

Her story will make you cry, laugh, and move to your own rhythm! She tells her audiences around the world and everyone she encounters in her everyday life that, “If you can faith it, then you can take it, and then you can make it!” (Trademark and copyright pending)

Join her on a faith journey that is inspirational, powerful, transformative, and of course, faithful!
