Special Musical Guest:

Michael Card
Michael Card has become an established and respected figure in Christian music and publishing. In a career that spans 25 years, he has authored or co-authored 9 books, recorded over 20 albums, hosted two radio programs, written for a wide range of magazines, including a medical journal, and started his own magazine. In everything he does, Card seeks to encourage his audience to join him in his own journey to know and be known by God by asking questions and entering discussion with one another. To that end Card has branched out beyond the music which made his name known within the Christian community into the various mediums he uses today, all for the purpose of teaching the Word of God, his ultimate desire. Card's passion for careful and insightful Bible study can be seen in the lyrics of his songs. Center Senior Fellow, Dr. George Guthrie, comments "Michael Card is not an entertainer. He is a minister who models deep reflection on the Word of God as the source of his life and ministry. I am thrilled he is going to be with us.
