What Others Are Saying

"Kerri takes her lighthearted approach to singleness and applies its lessons in a fresh and relevant way to the will of God for the hearts, minds and love lives of the contemporary Christians. Funny, hopeful and poignant, Kerri's testimony reminds us that our foibles and trials are God's reminders that He's with us through thick and thin, and does fulfill our prayers in ways far better than we dare imagine." - Nicole Mortillito After Eve Conference, Washington, DC

"I attended Kerri Pomarolli’s breakout session "Waiting on God ProActively" (Based on her book)  I will always remember her testimony about dating as a Christian woman as one of the most influential messages I ever heard.  She has the uncanny ability to speak what so many women have said in their hearts in a way that is both heartfelt and hilarious.  In a generation of girls who are trying to figure out how their lives fit into the mold of Biblical womanhood, Kerri’s message is so relevant.

Kerri’s words took us to those moments where it’s just you and God, and you must be completely honest with yourself about whom you have become and whom you are searching for.  Her story was about making mistakes, and learning lessons, and growing, and falling in love – and learning that God really does have a sense of humor.  She showed us that trusting in God leads you to places far better than the places you are afraid to leave. Kerri was honest and real about the struggles God takes you through to get there. But in the end, becoming the woman God intends for you to be allows you to see the person you’re supposed to be with.  I left her discussion session filled with conviction and hope that God still had a plan for me no matter where I had been.  I would highly recommend her to any church or organization!" - Elizabeth G. Maryland Age 21

"Say Yes to God" – appropriate for any audience.

Kerri shares her journey moving to LA doing it "her way" in Hollywood and then finally surrendering her plans and career to God's will in her life. This inspiring session is filled with laughter of Kerri's adventures as an "out of the closet Christian in Hollywood" and how this has been the ride of her life. She encourages audiences of all ages to "Say Yes to God" and see what He has in store for their lives. This session can also be combined with a stand up comedy presentation or separate for weekend retreats to two days.

"Hilarious, funny and unforgettable—her refreshing routines hit Christians where they live, without resorting to cliches or stereotypes. Her unique blend of humor touches all audiences, and in doing so, doubles as a ministry." -  Monika, South Bay Entertainment Fellowship Co-Founder, Director of the Angelus Awards Film Festival

“Book Kerri Pomarolli while you can—she is destined to be a big star!  Kerri had our Christian Single's Golf group laughing in the isles.  Her show was the highlight of an awesome day of fun and fellowship.  We asked Kerri to give her testimony and she delivered the gospel in a very poignant and compelling manner.  Thank you Kerri for sharing your gift of joy and laughter!” - Cindy Tait Center for Healthcare Education, Inc. Riverside, CA

“Kerri was very entertaining; but sobering as well.  Her humorous presentation in the life of a single adult really made a lot of people reevaluate some of their priorities.  She presented her faith with so much sensitivity; but was yet so powerful.  Kerri had us laughing one minute and praising the next. She truly embodies the fact that Christians can and do have fun. In short, she was “pee in your pants funny”.  I would recommend her for any event and any age.” - Pastor Alberto Lopez, Single Adults & Spanish MinistryCalvary Church - Naperville

testimony

“I moved to LA to pursue my dreams… famous actress/trophy wife. I went to church only when there was parking and did things exactly the way I planned them.

Funny how even though I was getting worldly success and my mom had things to brag about at bridge I wasn’t happy. I knew something had to change. I silently prayed one night while sitting in a show… ‘God I just want to perform… however You see fit. I just want to come back to You.’

“That was the most powerful prayer because the very next day things changed. I started a ministry called Act in Faith that provides original dramas for churches with Hollywood actors and directors. We’ve been touring ever since. In the midst of that, God led me to stand-up comedy. Not only did He want me to talk about HIM, He wanted me to do it in Hollywood where He wasn’t getting much stage time. I said YES and everything took off from there. It’s been my honor and passion to go out, talk about HIM and what He’s doing in my life, to people from all walks of life—and I’m loving every minute of it.”
