  • S10 Ep 1 | Janet Tschida
    Mar 11 2025
    MBU associate professor Janet Tschida, regales host Dr. Matt Davis with the story of her delayed music education and the setback that threatened it. She explains her mission saying, “I remember in college thinking … what does God want me to do … where … and with whom … I was missing the fundamental question … who does God want me to be.” Having established her God-intended identity, she says her mission is “to encourage those in my circle of influence to do the same,” a sphere which now includes interns and students. Discussing benefits of music, Dr. Davis expressed appreciation for perspectives his sons gained in the music prep program, which “set the stage … to say, ‘Whatever, God, you’ve given me, that’s something I can use in ministry,’” which Dr. Davis asserts in conclusion, “is a very Maranatha thing.”

  • S9 Ep 11 | Dan Bjokne
    Feb 4 2025
    Dan Bjokne joined MBU as Director of Development in May 2024. In this lively interview, he explains to host Dr. Matt Davis how he can trace God’s hand in his life, from his first job in a reconditioned container factory to his “reconditioned” (reborn) soul as a public-school teacher, to his repurposed life serving in multiple ministries. Referencing Exodus 17, Dan describes his mission by saying, “I just want to be Aaron. I just want to be Hur. I just want to hold up … heavy hands.” When asked how that Old Testament picture drives him in leadership today, he quickly outlines a leader’s need “to walk humbly,” to realize “it’s not all about me,” and to acknowledge that “God can get this done without me.” He quotes a definition for servanthood he once heard: Taking the lead in going to the back of the line—a philosophy that echoes Maranatha’s mission of servant leadership.

  • S9 E10 | David Oliver
    Dec 24 2024
    The scenario presented in this episode of On Mission is the following: a teen boy with no Christian background is saved while reading a gospel tract, immediately seeks a Bible-preaching church, and eventually becomes a preacher. Who would write that narrative? Only God. And that is guest Dr. Oliver’s story. Dr. Oliver, a pastor and Maranatha’s new board chair, discusses with host Dr. Matt Davis his mission to preach. They explore what preaching is and isn’t, its essential components, how it parallels authoritative legal constructions, and the effects it should elicit. David’s quest to engage another generation in selfless ministry (which he pursues through mentoring summer interns) is also Maranatha’s mission—a mission he is responsible to protect as a board member. Noting his own legal profession and his guest’s pastoral ministry, Dr. Davis pointed out that God has a calling for each one of us, whether it is nursing or education or business and humanities. The degrees that MBU offers, those the world thinks of as secular, they are ministry degrees when used for God’s glory.
