    S9 Ep 1 | Ron Perry
    Sep 17 2024
    On this episode of On Mission, Dr. Matt Davis speaks with Pastor Ron Perry of Faith Baptist Church in Folsom, California. Pastor Perry shares poignant life lessons from his experience as a pastor, police chaplain, husband, and father. One key he shared is the involvement of his wife and their entire family in church ministry. Pastor Perry shares his unique gifting of relational shepherding, and how it has played a large role in how he and his family experience the burdens and joys of ministry. Pastor Perry discusses his “seasonal” approach to living on mission, detailing what it looks like to "Put your Yes on the table for the Lord” and keep it there. Saying Yes represents the idea of surrendering to God’s will, trusting in God’s character—His goodness, love, and sovereignty—even before knowing the specifics of what He wants. As trust deepens with God, it gets easier to fully surrender; and the better we know God, the simpler it becomes to trust Him with our decisions.

    S8 Ep 8 | Mark Cover
    Jul 23 2024
    In this episode of On Mission, Dr. Matt Davis speaks with Mark Cover, Co-CEO at Hines in Houston, Texas, where he has spent his career overseeing real estate acquisition, development and operations for Hines’ Southwest Region. Mr. Cover shares insights from working across cultures to build everything from community apartment complexes to billion-dollar stadiums; and how his unique skill set and personal mission to please the Lord translates to mentoring young people on the investment side and is funneled back to ministry in his discipleship of men in his local church. Mr. Cover is transparent about his plan for retirement, which is to steward his time, talent, and treasure long into the future by supporting church planting in inner cities through his family’s 501(c)(3) Great Commission Properties. Dr. Davis and Mr. Cover also discuss the challenges of stewarding personal and organizational assets well, and the cultural differences and risks of doing business or missions in foreign communities. While you may never manage a multi-billion-dollar real estate portfolio, this episode vividly illustrates the biblical truth that faithfulness in stewardship begins with the “little things” of life. As we demonstrate faithfulness, God rewards us with greater opportunities as He sees fit. (Luke 16:10) In eternity, believers will be ultimately rewarded for careful stewardship of the Master’s resources.
