The music of Kyle Matthews is primarily inspired by the life and teachings of Jesus Christ as conveyed in biblical scriptures and other sources of theology, literature, devotional writings, Christian apologetics and art. It is stylistically multi-faceted and much of it has a component of entertainment about it as he acknowledges contemporary trends and commercial realities, especially in his work as a staff songwriter for Universal Music Publishing Group. But the music related to his performing artistry, along with his writings and public speaking, is directed at faith development, Christian education, and worship.

It is his belief that authentic Christian discipleship relies heavily upon poetic, allegorical, and artistic forms of expression to convey spiritual realities, and that the creative arts are critical to human development, quality of life, and relational maturation. Consequently, much of his work is devoted to encouraging faith development and artistic expression in others.

For many people living in poverty or isolation, the gospel must be experienced in tangible ways if it is to be experienced at all. Kyle believes that where art and ministry converge, there are opportunities for communities to meet these primary physical needs. To that end, he lends support and encouragement to many deserving helping ministries and organizations, and he is an active member of a local congregation. His website is a resource for interested persons to learn about, contribute to, and participate in helping ministries and organizations they might not otherwise know about.

Believing that all quality of life issues are spiritual issues, Kyle also seeks opportunities to create and perform and teach in non-religious settings where specific faith-based assertions would not be appropriate or welcome. Rather than a denial of his faith, he believes that the non-sectarian support of shared values like education, wellness, peace, social justice, family and community are testaments to Christian integrity. He relishes those opportunities to work and perform outside religious communities, believing that there is no greater evidence of the substance of faith than the fruit of a life lived in service of others.
