    S11 Ep 5 | Jonathan Gilliam
    Sep 30 2025
    Delve into this episode as host Dr. Matt Davis and MBU graduate Jonathan Gilliam chat about a range of topics from cross-country running to marriage, from Jonathan’s current camp staff responsibilities to God’s calling. Tapping into his recent graduation, they address his college expectations and what aspects prepared him for life. Jonathan appreciates his extension involvement in a small church and highlights his internship, which challenged him to devote time daily in silent reflection. When Dr. Davis asks, “What would you tell your younger self as a student, if you had the chance,” Jonathan thoughtful responds, “How to interact with suffering.” Diagnosed with Chron’s disease as a teen and having had potentially fatal complications from it, he judiciously comments that he would not mourn those difficulties or seek immediate release because, he concludes, trials are often the means of growth and sanctification.

    In this engaging episode, host Dr. Matt Davis interviews fall meetings guest speaker Pastor Joel Mikkelson, asking why he chose to present messages on the attributes of God. Mentioning the apparent conflict between scarcity as the economic standard for determining value and God’s infinity, Dr. Davis asks the intriguing question, “Then what is God’s value?” They address God’s holiness and how it suggests “boundaries of scarcity.” Then the conversation shifts to Joel’s mission not only to serve faithfully, but also to enjoy serving. Dr. Davis notes that Pastor Mikkelson’s ministry is complex, requiring him to lead, not serve. They talk about the balance of delegating work while continuing to actively participate in it. They evaluate perspectives of ministry in the diverse, “almost hostile environment” of California and Santa Maria’s “de-churched, unchurched” culture and the faulty perception of size as a “benchmark” of faithfulness. About our guest Joel Mikkelson [‘01] is pastor of First Baptist Church of Santa Maria, California, and serves on Maranatha’s Board of Resource. Raised in a pastor’s family in Wisconsin, a home which engendered a desire for lifelong service, he attended Maranatha where he met his wife, Kelly. Upon graduation, they joined the staff of Kelly’s home church in Santa Maria where Kelly assumed responsibilities as the finance director and Joel began his “dream job” as children’s pastor. He served in that position for 14 years before becoming the lead pastor. The Mikkelsons have five children. One, a 2025 Maranatha graduate, works for the university, and another is currently a student.

    If internship offers experience for one’s resume, what does internship lodging provide? In Ethan Rosen’s case, it led to far more than anticipated, as he narrates on this podcast episode. Ethan could not afford lodging for his sports management internship, so his coach introduced him to a church whose members opened their homes one summer for several weeks each. Thus, Ethan met a seed producer, became enthralled with the business, lived in his home for several years, and eventually acquired the company. He and host Dr. Matt Davis laugh about former college escapades, tempering it now with a more mature perspective. They observe that the same leadership Ethan exercised with peers as football captain is the same energy needed in business. For now, Ethan asserts, until the Lord directs otherwise, he is gratified glorifying God by caring for employees and providing seed to feed the world.
