I Doubt It | Dr. Jeff Bucknam

Welcome to the Easter weekend podcast from Harvest Bible Chapel. This week, we’re in John 20:24–29, walking through the story of a disappointed doubter turned bold believer. Maybe you’ve felt like Thomas—believing God would come through, only to watch your hopes fall apart. In this message, we’ll see how Jesus meets us in our doubts with grace and truth.
We’re breaking the story into three parts:
Disappointment-Driven Doubt – where our unmet expectations make belief feel impossible.
The Provision of Proof – where Jesus steps in and gives Thomas exactly what he needs.
Bold Belief – where doubt turns into worship, and belief becomes personal.
Let’s listen in as we explore how God turns our deepest disappointments into bold declarations of faith.

How to Develop a Leader | Dr. Jeff Bucknam

Ever had someone tell you something you didn’t want to hear but absolutely needed to? I’ll never forget Kyle pulling me aside and saying, ‘Your breath is awful.’ Not what I wanted to hear—but I’m thankful he cared enough to say it. It’s that kind of truth in love that makes us better. It certainly made me better.
In Acts 18, we meet Apollos—a gifted, passionate, powerful teacher who still needed some help. Thankfully, he got it—from friends who saw potential and stepped in with grace. Why should we care about this? Because the future of the church depends on the leaders we’re shaping today.
So in this episode, we’re asking: What does it take to develop healthy, impactful Christian leaders? Here are three things we’ll explore:
Developing leaders is a necessary work—because the mission goes on even when we’re gone.
Developing leaders is a delicate work—because correction must be done with care.
Developing leaders is a profitable work—because the investment pays off for generations.

Persistenty Fruitful | Pastor Tommy Creutz

In today’s episode, we’re diving into Acts 18:1-17 as we continue our journey through the Book of Acts in our series, We Are All Witnesses. This passage gives us a powerful look at the Apostle Paul’s time in Corinth—how he shared the gospel, faced opposition, and ultimately trusted in God’s sovereignty through it all.
We’ll explore three key truths from this chapter:
How the gospel is shared with words (verses 1-5)
How discipleship inevitably brings hardship (verses 6-9)
And how God’s sovereignty drives our witness (verses 9-17)
No matter where you are in your faith journey, this episode will encourage you to boldly share your faith, trust God in difficulty, and rest in His ultimate control. Let’s dive in!

One Great Speech | Dr. Jeff Bucknam

🎙️ Welcome to the Harvest Bible Chapel Podcast!
Today, we're diving into one of the most powerful speeches ever delivered—Paul’s sermon on Mars Hill in Acts 17:22–31. Throughout history, some speeches have left an unforgettable mark—Luther’s bold declaration at the Diet of Worms, Churchill’s relentless call to courage during World War II, and Martin Luther King Jr.’s inspiring dream of justice and equality.
Paul’s words at Mars Hill belong in that category. Paul passionately declared the truth about God to a diverse audience surrounded by idols and altars. What can we learn from his message?
Today, we’ll explore five foundational truths Paul revealed about God’s nature and our response to Him. Get ready to be challenged, encouraged, and inspired by God’s Word.
