Kyevism. The Faith-Fueled Philosophy of Pastor Kyev Tatum.



Kyevism. The Faith-Fueled Philosophy of Pastor Kyev Tatum


Coined by Texas State University graduate Debra Blanks, a trusted mentee of Pastor Kyev Tatum for over three decades, Kyevism names what many have witnessed but never defined: a bold and visionary philosophy shaped by lived experience, prophetic leadership, and relentless service to the streets and the sanctuary. Having stood with Pastor Tatum on the frontlines—from pulpits to protests to public policy—Debra recognized that this unique blend of faith, fire, and fearless advocacy deserved its own name.




Definition


Kyevism is a liberation-driven philosophy rooted in the faith, fight, and footprint of Pastor Kyev Tatum. It fuses unapologetic Christianity, social justice, community empowerment, and educational equity into a way of life and leadership. It exists to restore dignity, pursue equity, and unlock destiny in communities long denied all three.




The Six Core Pillars of Kyevism



1. Faith That Fights

“We don’t just preach the Gospel—we march it, teach it, and build with it.”

Kyevism refuses to keep faith locked in the pews. It mobilizes it into the streets, schools, and systems where injustice hides and healing is needed. It’s belief that breaks chains.



2. Truth from the Trenches

“We speak from the block to the ballot box.”

Kyevism centers the wisdom of the wounded and the power of the overlooked. Solutions must come from those who know the struggle—not from ivory towers or distant desks.


3. Freedom Through Faith

“If you can’t read, you can’t lead.”

Literacy is liberation. Education is armor. Kyevism equips minds and molds leaders—from barbershops to classrooms to church basements—because knowledge is non-negotiable.



4. The Church as a Change Engine

“The Black Church is not just a place of worship—it’s the headquarters for hope.”

Kyevism reclaims the revolutionary role of the Black Church—as a spiritual, political, economic, and cultural command center for building people and transforming places.



5. Justice with Joy

“We serve with fire—but we don’t forget to dance.”

From Juneteenth to gospel jazz, Kyevism celebrates culture as a weapon of resilience. In the face of pain, we praise. In the middle of struggle, we sing.


6. Radical Responsibility

“We are the answer we’ve been waiting for.”

Kyevism rejects dependency and defeat. It raises up a generation to walk in purpose, take ownership, and build tables instead of begging for seats.



The Mission of Kyevism


To raise up faith-fueled freedom fighters who are equipped to read, lead, build, and serve—so that every underserved zip code becomes a Skills City, a Healing Zone, and a Hope Hub for God’s people.

NOT GUILTY IN TARRANT COUNTY! Joseph Delancy Stands Victorious with His Grandmother by His Side. Pastor Kyev Tatum, Sr.  https://www.star-telegram.com/news/local/crime/article301585229.html FORT WORTH, TEXAS - When the words “Not Guilty” rang through the courtroom, Shonette “Mama Shon” Hill felt the weight of the world lift from her shoulders. Her grandson, Joseph Delancy, had endured an unimaginable trial—accused of a crime he did not commit, fighting against a system determined to make him a scapegoat. But through it all, Mama Shon stood firm, unwavering in her belief in Joseph’s innocence. With the love only a grandmother can give, she had been his rock, his shield, his fiercest defender. When others turned away, she remained. When doubt crept in, she stood taller. And when the verdict came, she held Joseph close—her faith and love carrying him through the storm.

Aunt Liz the Angel: A Champion for the Six Triple Eight. By Pastor Kyev Tatum, Founding Director, Texas 6888th Project. WASHINGTON, D.C. – On April 29, 2025, inside Emancipation Hall beneath the sacred shadow of the Capitol dome, the soul of America was stirred as our nation finally paused to say “thank you” to the women of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion. That day, wrapped in dignity and destiny, the Congressional Gold Medal was placed upon their legacy. And standing at the center of this divine moment, like a hidden angel sent for such a time as this, was none other than Retired Master Sergeant Elizabeth Anne Helm-Frazier—known across our community, and to the cast of the Tyler Perry film, simply and lovingly as Aunt Liz. Let me say it plain: Aunt Liz is God’s gift to the memory of the Six Triple Eight. When the final living members of the battalion took her in, they said something Master Sgt. never forget: “Liz can’t do no wrong in our book.” And I declare today—neithe...

Bush Presidential Center on the campus of Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas, hosted an extraordinary event honoring the trailblazing women of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, affectionately known as the “Six Triple Eight.” This all-Black, all-female unit of the Women’s Army Corps made history during World War II by clearing a staggering 17 million-piece mail backlog in Europe, ensuring that American service members received their much-needed letters from home. Their dedication and efficiency not only boosted troop morale but also shattered racial and gender barriers of their time. In recognition of their extraordinary service, the battalion was awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in 2022, the highest civilian ho...
