Heart Touch Music – Craig Perkins pt 1

Heart Touch Music

Craig Perkins pt 1

Have you ever felt alone? Abandoned? Like, everything you do is wrong?  If so, I have good news for you today.  You’re NOT alone. You’re NOT abandoned.  God is always with you, even if you do not recognize His presence. Some suffer abuse at the hands of their parents. Some are just abandoned and, more less, forgotten about. That could describe our guest today, Craig Perkins. Craig’s parents were alcoholics and fought violently. His Father abandoned the family and, later, his mother did the same. Ultimately, the courts stepped in and the children to an orphanage on the other side of the country. Living in an institution with 320 other unwanted kids is all Craig knew while growing up. When he finally was able to leave the orphanage, it was only natural he began to follow a rebellious path in life. He enrolled in college as a music major, but knew nothing about music. But soon, the college party scene started calling, and this rebellious man answered the call… But for the efforts of Christians on campus who reached out and witnessed about Christ to anyone who would listen, including Craig, who knows where his path in life would have led. But instead of a life of death and destruction, Craig has been serving the Lord! Craig Perkins is the founder of “Heart Touch Music,” had a traveling concert ministry; has hosted and served in retreats, seminars, recovery programs and healing centers. The songs he has written are his own original works (and we will share some music in today’s program). But, he has also reached out and found his parents and witnessed the Love of Christ to them! Praise God! Having set the scene now, help me welcome to the program, Craig Perkins! First question, other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Craig Perkins?” How old were you when you were first taken to the orphanage? How traumatic of an experience was all of this for you at that age? Were you and your sibling kept together? On you website, you make reference be sexually abused. Was this prior to entering the orphanage or during or after? You share that, as soon as you were old enough to leave the system, you became a rebel. How so? You went to college to study music. What made you choose that as your major? And at college, the “party, party, party” lifestyle started calling, correct? Is that what led you to drugs and all of that? How were your grades at that time? How did you get involved with Christian friends who began to witness to you? You share that He was always with you, even in those dark places. Was there some “ah-ha” moment when you realized you needed Christ? Did you notice your “old friends” started to say, “Something about you has changed…?”

About your host

Profile picture for TS Wright

TS Wright

Hello. My name is TS Wright, and I am the voice of the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast and author/TV host of the God Centered Concept.

For the past 33 years I have been involved in Christian ministry. Ranging from ministry, teaching and coaching in both public and private high schools and college, I have worked with students, athletes and adults from all walks of life. I have been involved with a host of Christian organizations included but not limited to CRU, FCA and other outreach & church affiliated ministries. Also being ordained in Christian ministry and being both a biblical and historical scholar I have focused on Discipleship, Biblical truth, prophecy & historical theology. I have also authored 4 books, a journal and a devotional series which are all now in the editing phase.

In 2003 and 2004 the Lord cast a series of visions on my life as to what would become the God Centered Concept.

In 2016, the Lord called me to start writing.

In 2019, He cast another series of visions that has led me to now.

In 2023, I was led to starting Podcasting and through divine intervention found Pastor Bob. I became a frequent guest speaker on the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast and being led by the Lord I have taken ownership of the Podcast.

I welcome all of you who are a part of the Kingdom Cross Roads community as well as everyone who is just joining our community as we continue to work to advance the Gospel and spark a Great Harvest. By expanding our message to the NOW TV Network it is our prayer that we can maintain the same level of quality messages and engaging conversations that you have been accustomed to. We thank you for your commitment to this community and we ask for your support and prayers as we strive to glorify God in all that He calls us to do.
