A Conversation With Mike Cosper: Facing Spiritual Wilderness
Manage episode 450050521 series 3589107
In this special conversation with Mike Cosper, producer of the influential podcast The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill and director of podcasts for Christianity Today, we will discuss how to face seasons that feel like a spiritual or relational desert. In his latest book, Land of My Sojourn, Cosper uses the literal landscape of the Bible to narrate his own story of disillusionment, despair, and ultimately repair within the modern church.
Have you ever felt spiritually empty, searching for answers but finding only miles of wasteland and wilderness? Have you faced disappointment with those within the church or Christian community? Have you wondered where you fit within modern religious life in general, or within Christianity in particular? More than a conversation about Cosper’s own advice for navigating trauma and searching, this event will center some of the high-water moments in the Christian scriptures, revealing how these timeless stories continue to speak to today’s cultural and spiritual landscape.
In the opening pages of Land of My Sojourn, Cosper writes, “I hope that as I tell this story you might find echoes of your own. I pray if you’re in the wilderness, you might find that though the territory is a mystery, you are far from alone.” That, too, is the hope of this special conversation with Mike Cosper.
