Discover and Own the Real Stories of Your​ Life, Loves and Liturgy!

Welcome

Welcome to Keeping the Ink Wet, where worship and spiritual growth come alive with creativity. I’m Kevin Yell, and I’m here to invite you to discover more joy, connection, and purpose in your spiritual journey. Drawing on years of experience as a minister, performer, and writer, I help individuals and communities bring fresh perspectives to faith and worship, making encounters with the Divine more meaningful and transformative.
 
Through a unique combination of spiritual direction, creative expression, and liturgical consultancy, I guide ministry leaders, congregations, and seekers to break free from outdated narratives and embrace a vibrant, living spirituality. Whether it’s through engaging sermons, transformative workshops, or my book, Keeping the Ink Wet, this is a space where your story matters, creativity flourishes, and the evolving tapestry of creation unfolds. Let’s rediscover the joy of playing and growing with the Divine together.

It's about joy—about a God who truly wants the best for each of us, no matter how unique our journey. It's about unleashing the realization that the word can come alive in ways we never imagined.

What Happens When Worship Comes Alive?

Congregations Leave Inspired and Connected

By engaging the congregation's own imagination, worship becomes more uplifting experience, leaving congregations filled with joy, hope, and a renewed sense of God’s creative presence in their lives. They walk away not just having attended a service but living a transformative encounter with the Divine.

Ministry Leaders Unlock Creativity and Confidence

By re-choosing Christianity over Churchianity, leaders discover fresh approaches to preaching that inspire and engage, gaining the tools to deliver messages that resonate more deeply. They feel empowered to bring energy and joy to their ministry, transforming the way their congregation experiences faith.

Communities Are Energized with Purpose

Renewed worship sparks a ripple effect, energizing communities to service with a shared sense of spiritual purpose. This vibrancy extends faith beyond the walls of the church, fostering deeper connections and meaningful human and spiritual growth.

Hello, Kevin Here...

I’m Kevin Yell—a storyteller, minister, and creative passionate about helping people and communities rediscover the joy and transformation found in developing a deeper relationship with the living Christ. Rooted in my Catholic-Christian upbringing in the UK, my adult life in parish and hospice ministry in the USA, and shaped by a lifelong love and involvement with the arts, my work weaves together creativity, spirituality, (both ancient and modern,) and personal connection.

As a performer, writer, and minister, I’ve worked with iconic spaces like St. Paul’s Cathedral in London and Coventry Cathedral, written for theological publications, and supported communities large and small. My belief that God’s first revelation is as Creator inspires everything I do, from my sermons and workshops to my upcoming book, Keeping the Ink Wet (coming 2025).

Let’s breathe new life into your spiritual journey—together.

Sometimes we're not sure if Rev. Kevin went to seminary or comedy school! I try to never miss church if he is preaching.

No one has ever told me that I can play with God before. Why?
