Mike Cosper is a writer and podcast producer/senior director of podcasts at Christianity Today. In 2021 he produced and hosted The Rise and Fall of Mars Hill, a serialized podcast telling the story of a Seattle megachurch’s stunning success and collapse. The podcast served as a venue to explore a variety of questions and issues that trouble the church, including character formation, gender, celebrity, and the distorting power of media. His next series launches later this year.

He’s the author of five books, including Recapturing the Wonder, a book about spiritual formation in a secular age. He has forthcoming works on wisdom and character formation in the Sermon on the Mount (IVP, Fall/Winter 2022) and a Christian reading of the work of Hannah Arendt (Brazos Press, Fall 2023).
