Mike Tison

My keynote presentations are a blend of inspiration, adventure, and humor, designed to help audiences connect with biblical truths and embrace the gospel in a way that feels real and life-changing. Whether I’m encouraging people to step out of their comfort zones in faith or reaching out to those who feel spiritually lost, my heart is to create engaging and impactful experiences that point others toward Christ. I’m also the author of three books-Seize the Adventure, Reluctant Misfits, and Big Cat Recon- with a new project, Bold as lions: Faith unleashed, on the way. I’m grateful to call the beautiful state of Michigan home, where my wife and I have shared over 32 wonderful years of marriage. We’ve been blessed with five adult children who live nearby, and when I’m not speaking, you’ll often find me outdoors hunting, camping, taking nature photos, coaching varsity softball, or enjoying time with my bird dog. a pudelpointer, Nala.
