Overview

Please prayerfully & carefully consider your audience before contacting me. Due to the candid nature of my testimony, my services would not be appropriate for small children. I recommend child care for kids under 12. There won't be any graphic descriptions or off-color language, but I will speak frankly about my past struggles. Think of my testimony as rated PG-13 or TV-14. Sadly, not all events are a good fit. The Gospel is free, but I must value what I do because of my responsibilities to my family. Please consider as well that a set requires many hours of preparation in addition to travel & expenses. Please contact me for a quote.

Prayers & best wishes for your event!

Blessings,
dc

What to expect

The expectation is an encounter with the Living God. If all that happens is entertainment, then I have failed. Music is a vehicle, not the destination. The destination is a journey, a walk with The Lord, that either begins or continues when Spirit meets spirit. There is hope and healing in transparent, authentic expression and confession.

About

Hi, there. My name is Damon Covert. I'm a 'hope dealer.'

Few things inspire a desire for positive personal change and spiritual growth like a story of a life transformed by Jesus Christ. A life like mine.

Jesus saved me and my marriage from decades of destructive choices and addictive behaviors. Now, He has given me a ministry to share what He has done in my life, and share hope and healing with others struggling with addiction to pornography, sexual impurity and unhealthy relationships.

Principle 8 is a global, mobile, multi-media ministry dedicated to glorifying God, promoting purity and restoring relationships through teaching and testimony - written, spoken and sung.

By hosting Principle 8 Ministries, you can help address these sensitive topics in a fresh way. The presentation can be tailored to the anticipated audience, allowing family-friendly flexibility for Sunday morning services, or more candid content for youth or adult groups, or private concert events.

Thanks for checking out my bio. God bless!

In Him,
dc

Influences and inspiration

As a child, I was exposed to a variety of music from Beethoven to Bread, Simon and Garfunkel, Neil Diamond, and more. As a young teen, I listened to Chicago and rode the New Wave of the 80's with Men At Work, The Police, Cyndi Lauper and more. In my 20's I was smitten with Sting, but also explored Rush and Pink Floyd and Van Halen. I learned to appreciate the musicianship of guitar heroes like Eric Johnson and Steve Vai and the incredible storytelling of Lyle Lovett and others. Now that Jesus is The Lord of my life, I mostly listen to K-LOVE and 'I-LOVE' the music of Third Day, Tenth Avenue North, Kari Jobe, Casting Crowns, Lincoln Brewster, Phil Wickham, MercyMe, Chris Tomlin and more.
