Sheryl's message at our Women's Fellowship's Christmas luncheon was
clear and her challenge brought with love and gentleness. Mary Younger,

Sheryl has such an amazing gift, she uses her life's testimony to show
you how to find God and hold on to him. Our ladies were very blessed
by her presentation.

Sheryl's messages have wide appeal - recovery from drugs, struggle
with illness and hope for the future.
Sharon Hopper, Porterville EV Free
Sheryl's passion for God's truth and freedom in Christ is evident in
the way that she shares her powerful testimony and calls people to move
beyond hurt and find healing in the love of God. Sheryl is approachable
and real. Students feel they can connect to her story and appreciate
her genuine honesty.
Lauren McCartney, Chaplain - Biola University
Sheryl reached out to our high school girls on our retreat to Catalina
by sharing her testimony to start out the trip. This was huge in making
the girls feel comfortable and connected to her. I think it was so important
for them to know that even though we can make bad decisions in our past
God has the power to cleanse us from all our sins and we can be made
new. Another highlight was Sheryl's teaching the girls that God created
and loves them just how we are and no matter what. This is so important
especially when we live in a society that tells us we are never good
enough the way we are. The girls felt special when Sheryl sought out
one-on-one time with each of them and were thrilled when she got right
in the mix with them during their silly antics. For some of them, having
an adult give them this much positive interaction is a new experience
and definitely something they are missing. The trip was a huge success!

Sheryl’s ability to share her life experiences along
with the wisdom God has given her, has not only made her a gifted speaker
but a devoted wife, mother and mentor to many.”
Kathy Bethell, Women’s Ministry Director,
Community Christian Fellowship
Whether behind a microphone of a radio studio or in front
of a sea of faces at a women’s retreat, Sheryl’s love for
the Lord and passion for encouraging women from all walks of life are
evident. When you see her enthusiasm for life and her joyful attitude,
you would never know the difficulties she has faced in recent years, including
her own personal battle with cancer. Yet, through these difficult times
she has allowed God to use her testimony to change the lives of countless
women. Each time I hear her speak, Sheryl combines her knowledge of the
Bible with her love for teaching and her passion for changing lives. Sheryl’s
desire to see revival in the hearts of women across our country is apparent
each time she steps up to the podium. The only regret you will have after
hearing her life-changing messages is that you didn’t invite more
of your friends to hear her speak.
Janet Ables, President and Founder, Heart of
the Home Ministries
Sheryl is an accomplished teacher and speaker,
speaking regularly in conference settings and on several occasions has
teamed up with her pastor husband to bring the message in our own church
during Sunday morning services. Sheryl’s deep life experiences from
her own personal testimony, the raising of a family, leadership in the
Christian community, marriage to Paul and other faith journeys give her
wide appeal to many diverse audiences.”
Dr. Mike Popovich, Senior Pastor, Olive Drive
Church
Years of experience in ministry as a pastor’s
wife, Sheryl has experienced the joys and trials of motherhood and recently
an overwhelming struggle with cancer. Her sincere walk with the Lord and
life experiences have seasoned and prepared her for ministering to people
in her own precious way. Anyone who has the pleasure of sitting under
Sheryl’s teaching will not be disappointed, they will be blessed
and encouraged in their walk with Christ.”
Becki Stine Saltee, Director of Women’s
Ministries, Hume Lake Christian Camps
Sheryl has a way of encouraging ladies in a multitude
of ways to desire a closer walk with the Lord. She is eager to show them
God’s love and working in all aspects of their lives. She shares
the truth of God’s Word in a relevant fashion for today’s
Christian women who desire a deeper walk with God. Sheryl is the perfect
example of a woman who desires to be used of God.
