Heart Touch Music

Craig Perkins pt 3

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! This is the conclusion of a GREAT three part interview with Craig Perkins! You were married in 1983 and then, basically, went on tour with your music. How long did you do that? You write music as a tool to touch troubled hearts. You also provide instrumental music for counselors and therapists to use in their practices. Tell us about this… How can music help us, the average person listening right now? You have shared that we are called to win the world for Christ. But yet , we often ignore those who are right next to us. Our family, friends, co-workers, etc. You also composed a song for this calling of reaching those around us with the Gospel. It’s titled “Forgiven.” Let’s listen to a clip then come back to the interview. You also write music for praise and worship and immersion – how does someone use this type of music, say in their devotional or prayer time? Craig, this is all so fascinating. And your music is so awesome. I’ve listened to several tracks just getting ready for today’s interview. How can someone order your music? In fact, how can someone get in touch with you, maybe to ask a question, order your music or possible even to do an interview such as this? How can they get in touch with you? And your music is available on your website, but there are various “rooms” set up, depending on the type of music the person is seeking? I’ll put links to all of this down below in the show notes. Folks, music is so important to our Spiritual wellbeing. Why do you think the devil goes after the minds of people through the music they listen to? I want to encourage you to get back to the basics of your Faith – and allow Craig’s music to help you in your quiet time. To minister to you when you’re down. To minister to you as you pray and meditate. To minister to you – just about all day long, if you’ll let it. Go down into the show notes and click the link to Craig Perkins website and discover a secret weapon God has provided us to claim victory in this life – here on earth – MUSIC. Amen!
