You will not want to miss hearing New York Times bestselling author Jemar Tisby! Author of The Color of Compromise, How to Fight Racism, and many other ground breaking books, Dr. Tisby will be with us for MLK Day 2026!
Before he was a myth, Martin Luther King Jr. was a man—a preacher, a prophet, and a Christian leader who risked everything to follow the call of justice. In this stirring keynote, Dr. Jemar Tisby invites us to step into King’s story not as history frozen in time, but as a roadmap for leadership
today. From the pulpit to the picket line, from Selma to the “World House,” King modeled a courageous faith that confronted power, centered the marginalized, and bore witness to a truth deeper than the headlines. With
powerful storytelling and piercing insight, Dr. Tisby casts a compelling vision for what it means to lead like Christ in an age of conflict—when the cost is high, and the calling is clear.
This event is a partnership between First United Methodist Church of Holland, Hope Church, I Am Academy, Maple Avenue Ministries, and the Center for Diversity and Inclusion and Campus Ministries at Hope College.
