Pastor Kahlil Abraham Carmichael, MDiv, MAPCC, CHP

Pastor Kahlil Abraham Carmichael is a hospice staff chaplain with Ennoble Care, a certified health and fitness coach, and the senior pastor of Live Well Church. He also brings prior clinical chaplaincy experience from Penn Medicine. With over 25 years of experience in pastoral care, hospice chaplaincy, and health coaching, he works at the intersection of spiritual care, emotional healing, and physical well-being. His writing integrates clinical insight, pastoral wisdom, and practical guidance to support restoration of the whole person — mind, body, and spirit.

Pastor Kahlil holds a Master of Divinity and a Master’s degree in Pastoral Care and Counseling. He studied Psychology at New York University, completed advanced clinical training at the Blanton-Peale Institute in New York City, and completed five units of Clinical Pastoral Education at Penn Medicine.

Over the years, Pastor Kahlil has counseled and coached hundreds of individuals and couples through seasons of rupture, repair, and renewal. His work focuses on what he calls the restorative process of “us”— helping couples move from survival into honesty, connection, and shared growth.

Pastor Kahlil has been married to his wife, Yevette, for over 25 years. Together they have built a life rooted in faith, family, perseverance, and love. They are the parents of adult children and the proud grandparents of several grandchildren. Their marriage has been shaped not by perfection, but by commitment, repair, forgiveness, and the daily practice of choosing one another.

The insights in his writing flow from both professional training and lived experience. Pastor Kahlil writes as someone who has walked the roads of marriage, ministry, and restoration, and who believes deeply that healing is always possible when individuals and couples are willing to do the work together.
