From Music Charts to Ministry: Pastor Craig Smith's Transformative Journey
I don't know that I had a pastor's heart really prior to becoming a pastor, but I see things through a different lens now.
What happens when a rockstar swaps the spotlight for a pulpit? In this heartwarming episode of The Hope Report, hosts Melissa Huray and Jason Perry chat with Pastor Craig Smith of Hope Village. Craig's story is a compelling blend of music, faith, and resilience. He talks about his early days, influenced by the Beatles, and how those musical roots shaped his ministry. Craig didn't just top the Christian recording charts; he stayed deeply connected to his local church in Arkansas.
His journey is not just about the highs of a music career but also about the lows of addiction and the redemptive power of faith. Craig shares insights from his new devotional book, 'Awake in the Dawn', and emphasizes the importance of community and discipleship in spiritual growth. Whether you're a music lover, someone on a faith journey, or looking for inspiration, Craig's story offers a beacon of hope and transformation.
