Michael Card (born April 11, 1957) is an American Christian singer-songwriter, musician, author, and radio host from Franklin, Tennessee.

He is best known for his contributions in contemporary Christian music, which combine folk-style melodies and instrumentation with an in-depth study of the Bible.

[4] Card received his start as a professional musician when his professor and mentor, William L. Lane, asked him to write some music to accompany weekly sermons at their church.

[6] In 2008, alongside the By/For Project, Card produced and contributed vocals and songs to the album Sweet Sacrifice, collaborating with Seattle, Washington-based artists Brian Moss, Molly McCue, and Kurt Dyrhsen.

He then branched out to other subjects not specifically based on his music, such as the Gospel of John, homeschooling, and Christian discipleship and mentoring.

In 2014, Card completed the Biblical Imagination Series, a four-volume set which takes a deeper look at each of the gospels and the voice of the writers behind them.

The show ceased production in March 2009 but was then revived in the form of a podcast on June 18, 2018, with a mix of completely new and classic material.

Some fans and critics felt betrayed by the collaboration since Card is known for lyrics that scrupulously adhere to Protestant theology whereas Talbot is a Roman Catholic.

[10] On November 14, 2004, Card provided the music for a sermon by Ravi Zacharias at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' Tabernacle in Salt Lake City, Utah.

In coverage of the event, a Deseret Morning News reporter wrote the following: Still, Card said, he doesn't see Mormonism and evangelical Christianity as opposed to each other.

The impact of this statement can be understood in the context that many Protestants and Catholics categorize Mormons as outside Christianity[12] and consider the LDS church a cult.
