Martin’s Unique Brand of Humor

With his long hair, beard and burly appearance, Torry Martin doesn’t look like the typical straight-laced Christian speaker and he knows it. “It does surprise some people when I’m introduced as their inspirational speaker and not the janitor,” Torry says. Using his unusual appearance and background for inspiration this red-haired, rotund, Alaskan travels the nation telling his funny, modern-day parables based on actual events, all with a biblical message. With Torry, a simple day running errands can turn into a series of compounding conflicts that could have been avoided by a wiser man. “Have you ever had one of ‘those’ days? Well I have one of ‘those’ lives but I know that God can use me in spite of myself.”

“Torry Martin’s style of home-spun humorous ‘parables’ are sure to entertain and touch the hearts of church- people everywhere. As a person and performer he exudes a natural charm and humility that’s refreshing in this day of ’super slick professionals.’ His whole demeanor is so unaffected and natural-I can understand why he is in demand. Take Garrison Keillor and put a spiritual perspective to him and you have Torry Martin.”
