But awaken the dawn is simply an on-ramp to try and provide a tool, some kind of resource to get a rhythm in your Daily walk with the lord, because it has become, no kidding, it is my bread and butter if I don't spend time with the lord in the morning I'm spent.
Imagine a life where music not only soothes the soul but also paves the way for community transformation. Craig Smith, a renowned musician with fourteen albums and top-charting songs, takes us on his journey from global music tours to leading a local church in Arkansas. In this episode of 'Addiction, Freedom & Faith', Craig shares his transition from the stage to the pulpit and his mission to inspire hope through faith-based initiatives. Craig’s story doesn’t end with his musical accolades.
He is also the founder of Village2Village, a non-profit organization dedicated to creating 'Hope Villages' in under-served regions like Uganda, NW Arkansas, and Thailand. These communities aim to break cycles of addiction, poverty, and abuse through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. In this heartfelt conversation, Craig emphasizes the importance of establishing a daily rhythm with Jesus. He advocates for morning devotionals as a way to set a positive tone for the day and deepen one’s spiritual journey.
Drawing parallels between today’s youth and the raw, self-centered generation of the early 1700s, he stresses the need for genuine Christian living to positively impact society. Craig also touches on the fear many feel when pursuing their passions and how faith can be a guiding light through such uncertainties. His insights offer not just spiritual guidance but practical advice for anyone looking to integrate faith into their daily lives.
Whether you're struggling with addiction, seeking spiritual growth, or simply looking for inspiring stories of transformation, this episode offers a blend of wisdom and encouragement. Tune in to hear how Craig Smith uses his musical talents and faith to foster hope and change in communities around the world.
