During the Christmas season, we are bringing you a super special series, “Stories of Faith & Transformation.” Our guest for part one is professional dancer Kevyn Butler. Kevyn shares a powerful story of transformation in his life!

Kevyn has worked with Ad Deum Dance Company, Oakland Ballet, Störling Dance Theater, Zion Dance Project, Ronald K. Brown, EVIDENCE, a dance company and is a current member of Bruce Wood Dance in Dallas, TX. Kevyn started out in visual art and discovered a love of dance in high school. During his time training to be a professional dancer in New York City, he really started searching for his true identity, and he ended up on an EPIC faith journey! 

I loved hearing from Kevyn about how his view of dance has shifted over the years and about the power of truly loving others. I was so moved by this conversation with Kevyn, and I believe you will be inspired and moved as well!

*Disclaimer: we do talk about some heavy topics during this episode. If you typically listen with young ears in the room/car, you may want to listen to this episode alone first.
