Listen "S9 Ep 11 | Dan Bjokne"
Episode Synopsis
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.
