Conversations with Jeff Bucknam

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 1 of Heresy Hunters, exploring Arianism and Pelagianism — 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
