Kyle Luster
About
My name is Kyle Luster, and I’m a seminary student at Regent College in Vancouver, BC. I’m passionate about helping people see Scripture as a living, unified story—and inviting the Spirit to use that story to reshape our lives.Before seminary, I studied Computer Science and worked for two years as a software developer. Over time, though, I began to sense a deeper calling toward theological formation, teaching, and vocational ministry. That sense of calling has only grown as the Lord has continued to open doors for me to serve and grow.I started this site to share updates from my seminary journey and whatever may come after. Right now, I’m considering pursuing missions in the Spanish-speaking world or in theological education. I don’t know exactly where the path will lead, but I’m eager to follow wherever God directs.

Note: Before supporting me financially, please make sure you are tithing to your local church. I believe our first giving priority should be to the community where we are being fed and shepherded. If you’re not yet doing that, I kindly ask that you start there instead.
Updates
If you’d like to follow along with what I’m learning and doing, I’ll be posting regular updates on my Substack.

I am working on setting up a prayer alert system and will post it here when it's ready!
