Land of My Sojourn
IVP, 2024
By Mike Cosper

WHO: Mike Cosper, director of podcasting for Christianity Today and founder of Sojourn Music. 

HE SAYS: “Under the noise of storms and heat of fires was the whisper of God, and that in the distance beyond us is always a remnant.”     

THE BIG IDEA: This book shares the author’s personal experiences with the church’s current ongoing crisis of leadership, narcissism, abuse and cover up, and God’s compassionate grace.

THE PROGRESSION: In nine chapters, the author takes readers through his personal experience leaving the local church ministry and discovering that God can restore a broken faith after dreams are shattered.

“There’s something about grief, suffering and disorientation that allows us to see and experience grace in ways we never could have before.”

Crossroads Church: Make Yourself at Home

“We have worked very intentionally to create a family home feel as we have grown from 300 to now 3,000.” -Pastor Matt Thrasher

Faith Assembly: Enter the Mission Field

Faith Assembly offers a range of ministries aimed at every age group and stage of life so people can encounter Jesus.

Pastors Are Shepherds, Not Superheroes

Maybe it’s time we change the narrative. Expect your pastor to be a shepherd, not a superhero. Don’t demand their presence at every event or their attention at every moment.
