Biography: Debbie Milligan is both a seasoned and impassioned performing artist. She is Executive Director of the nationally known ministry, Healing Wings Ministries. This ministry is dedicated to addressing the condition of the heart by communicating the healing grace and freedom found in the Person of Jesus Christ. It is a message that has been forged in the fires of Debbie’s own life experiences. A Christian since 1980, Debbie has weathered many storms. A survivor of a fatherless childhood, teen years plagued with hard core drug and alcohol abuse, domestic violence and multiple losses, Debbie shares her music and testimony from a heart healed and enriched by the love of Jesus Christ.
Debbie has recorded three solo records, “Teach Me to Dance in the Rain,” “Sweet Forgiveness,” and “Below the Surface.” Each of her recordings portrays Debbie’s ability to write about real life issues, as well as communicate the healing heart of God. Her signature song, “Teach Me to Dance in the Rain,” captures the essence of joy in the midst of the storm.
“I learned early on as a Christian that if I am going to have joy in my life, I can’t depend on my circumstances. I have to lean into the one who carries me on the wings of any storm I go through. Jesus Christ is my source, and as long as I stay plugged into Him, I will experience joy, hope and peace no matter what circumstances surround me. You see, we can dance in rain, because God is the one that we dance with!”

Release:
“Come On” is the duo debut of two established solo artists. Milligan’s last 3 solo CDs were recorded and produced by Conner and the two have collaborated as songwriters and performers for years.
This project is an invitation to all who long to be touched with mercy and have hope ignited. Every moment, every breath is an invitation to dance in the arms of Jesus- no matter if we find ourselves on the heights where eagles soar, or hunkered down in the trenches of uncertainty. Their hope is that through these songs you will hear the tender voice of the Savior above any other. And for His voice to cut through all distractions and break through each barrier so that your heart will be stirred by His holy presence and you will never be the same!
Music Review: This CD is poetry set to music. "Risen King" in particular has a very cool music sound rush with a great groove. This CD is about the heart cry of a passionate longing for God. The songs have a very artistic lyrical style. The sound is a creative balance of blues, folk rock, and sophistication I have never quite heard before! If you are seeking after a relationship with God, this CD will encourage and challenge! Debbie and Kerry musically compliment each other with a rare chemistry that is worth hearing!
