    S15 | E5: The Moore You Know

    Everybody's got a story. Today's comes with a soundtrack — and possibly waffle fries. Pastor Jeff sits down with Eli Moore, a worship leader at Harvest's Elgin Campus and part of the Vertical Worship team. Eli's wife is also an owner-operator of a Chick-fil-A, which automatically makes this one of the most interesting conversations we've had. Don't miss it.

    S15 | E4: The Apologetics of Hospitality with Paul Haske

    What if hospitality isn't a personality trait — it's a theological conviction? Today, Pastor Jeff is joined by Paul Haske, an elder from our Elgin Campus, and they're unpacking what the Bible actually says about opening our lives and our homes to others. It's more than being friendly. And I think this conversation might change how you see your front door.

    S15 | E3: Heresy Hunters with Tommy Creutz, Part 2

    Everybody's got a story. Today's goes back to the early church — a time when big questions about Jesus and human nature were being fought over, sorted out, and sometimes gotten badly wrong. Pastor Jeff sits down with his co-host Pastor Tommy Creutz for Part 2 of Heresy Hunters, exploring Legalism and Gnosticism — where these ideas came from, why the church rejected them, and why they still matter to ordinary Christians today. It's theology, history, and a little bit of a detective story all in one. Listen now.

    S15 | E1: Introduction to Sign Gifts with Stephanie Geisler

    Everybody's got a story. And if you've spent any time in the church, you've probably encountered a conversation about spiritual gifts — maybe a great one, maybe an awkward one. Today, Pastor Jeff and Stephanie Geisler, Central Director of Women's Ministry at Harvest, open up 1 Corinthians 12–14 and dig into the sign gifts together. Honest, helpful, and maybe a little surprising. “Conversations with Jeff Bucknam” is a production of Harvest Bible Chapel.

    Welcome to Conversations with Jeff Bucknam. Today, Pastor Jeff sits down with Kent Shaw—a ministry leader who has spent years in the trenches of church planting and training pastors—to talk about what it actually takes to start a church. What does it look like on the ground? What do you wish someone had told you before you started? And what keeps church planters going when it gets hard? Grab a cup of coffee and pull up a chair—this is a conversation worth having. “Conversations with Jeff Bucknam” is a production of Harvest Bible Chapel.

    S14 | E7: What Should Churches Sing? with Moses Chun

    On this episode of the podcast, Pastor Jeff Bucknam tackles an important question for every church: What should churches sing? Music shapes the worship, theology, and even the spiritual formation of a congregation. But how should churches decide what belongs in a worship service? In this conversation, Pastor Jeff and Pastor Moses explore the biblical purpose of congregational singing, what Scripture says about worship, and how churches can choose songs that faithfully point people to Christ. “Conversations with Jeff Bucknam” is a production of Harvest Bible Chapel.

    S14 | E6: Why Should You Attend Church? with Jeff Thompson

    We often hear people say, 'I love Jesus, but I don't need the church.' But can you really have the Head without the Body? Today, Pastor Jeff Bucknam and Pastor Jeff Thompson dive into the theology of gathering. We’re exploring why 'attending' church is about so much more than a service—it’s about a calling, a community, and a spiritual formation that simply can’t happen in isolation. “Conversations with Jeff Bucknam” is a production of Harvest Bible Chapel.

    S14 | E3: Why Are Christians Such Jerks Sometimes? with Ben France

    Have you ever wondered why Christians—people who follow Jesus—can sometimes come across as harsh, judgmental, or just plain unkind? And if we’re honest… did the Church actually learn anything from Covid, or did it just expose what was already there? In today’s episode, we’re asking some hard but necessary questions: Why are Christians such jerks sometimes? And what did the last few years reveal about our faith, our witness, and our love for others? Ben France, from our Crystal Lake Campus, joins Pastor Jeff Bucknam as they talk candidly about lessons learned, mistakes made, and how the Church can reflect Jesus more faithfully moving forward. “Conversations with Jeff Bucknam” is a production of Harvest Bible Chapel.

    S14 | E2: Deciding on Doctrine with Dr. Kyle Meeker

    Welcome to Conversations with Jeff Bucknam. In this episode, Jeff is joined by Dr. Kyle Meeker for a timely and important conversation about deciding on doctrine—how Christians think about truth claims, weigh theological differences, and stay grounded when everything from secondary doctrines to conspiracy theories is competing for our attention. We’ll talk about how to discern what’s central to the Christian faith, what’s important but not essential, and how each of us has had moments where we’ve had to “shift our tent pegs” as we’ve grown in understanding. Along the way, we’ll reflect on real examples and offer practical wisdom for pursuing truth with humility, clarity, and faithfulness. “Conversations with Jeff Bucknam” is a production of Harvest Bible Chapel.
