In this podcast interview, host Dr. Matt Davis and Dr. Charles Plummer, Maranatha’s Human Resources director, discover they share common experiences of bagging groceries and playing trombone, albeit their trombone explorations ended differently. Trombone performance and music were Dr. Plummer’s profession and passion. With a doctorate in musical arts in pedagogy and literature, he taught, played professionally, composed, and arranged music. Likewise, music was the reason he joined the U.S. Army as an older-than-average recruit—so much older, in fact, that he was called “Private Grandpa.” Drs. Davis and Plummer discuss music’s message and how it moves us; how the Lord opens and closes “doors,” which He did for Dr. Plummer through an injury that ultimately landed him in human resources and then at MBU; and how he now applies his “Great Commandment” mission in his new position.
