In this special episode, I introduce one of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s most powerful and prophetic messages: “The Drum Major Instinct.” Originally delivered at Ebenezer Baptist Church on February 4, 1968, this sermon explores the universal human desire to be seen, valued, and recognized—and how that desire can be transformed into a calling to serve.

Dr. King reminds us that greatness is not reserved for the famous or the influential. As he declares in one of his most beloved lines, “Everybody can be great, because everybody can serve.”

Join me as we revisit the full sermon, reflect on its meaning for our lives today, and consider how King’s invitation to lead through love, justice, and service is just as urgent now as ever.

Press play, listen deeply, and let Dr. King’s words stir your heart toward becoming a drum major for righteousness and compassion.
