Presenters – Learnapalooza

2019 Keynote Speaker

Kyle Shaw

Kyle Shaw is the founder of Whole Truth Ministries; a nonprofit, faith-based transitional housing program for recovering addicts. With recovery homes in Riverside and Old North Dayton, the Whole Truth motto is to meet people where they are in their faith and in their needs. They follow a three-phased approach to recovery which focuses on recovery first, then education and relationships.

Kyle has shared his own story of addiction and recovery with various audiences, including departments at Kettering Health Network, each time crediting his more than five years of staying clean to his faith, and to removing himself from toxic influences that try to derail his recovery. Kyle hopes to share the other side of the epidemic that has impacted thousands of people throughout the Miami Valley. Not every addicts story is the same, but they show that recovery can and does happen, one step at a time, and with the right people in your corner.
