S10E04 | An Injury-Orchestrated Commission: Dr. Charles Plummer
In this podcast interview, host Dr. Matt Davis and Dr. Charles Plummer, 海角原创鈥檚 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鈥檚 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鈥攕o much older, in fact, that he was called 鈥淧rivate Grandpa.鈥 Drs. Davis and Plummer discuss music鈥檚 message and how it moves us; how the Lord opens and closes 鈥渄oors,鈥 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 鈥淕reat Commandment鈥 mission in his new position.
