"His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor and gather his wheat into the barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire" (Matthew 3:12).
Some topics need that winnowing fork more than others, and Christian Nationalism might be at the top of the list right now. Many Christians are asking real questions about faith, citizenship, and where our ultimate loyalty belongs.
Dr. Kyle Meeker, Pastor of Leadership Development at Harvest Bible Chapel, sits down with Pastors Jeff and Tommy to separate the wheat from the chaff. This is Jeff and Tommy's Threshing Floor. What's true. What's not. Why it matters.

Grok. Krick. Sick. It sounds like a nursery rhyme, but it's no joke. Artificial intelligence is quickly becoming the place people go for answers about faith. At the same time, self-appointed apostles are gathering huge audiences online with promises of healing and deliverance. So what happens when Christians hand their discernment over to an algorithm, or to a personality? Jeff and Tommy dig into both. This is Jeff and Tommy's Threshing Floor. What's true. What's not.

Everybody's got a story. Today, we're getting to know Joel Aurand, the new Student Ministry Director at our Aurora Campus. Joel spent ten years teaching at Harvest Christian Academy before stepping into this new role, and if you've never met him, this is your chance — to hear how he got here, what he's learned along the way, and what he's excited about now that he's shepherding students full-time.

It's also a bittersweet one — this is the final episode of Conversations with Jeff Bucknam. But don't worry, we're not going anywhere. In a couple of weeks, Jeff will be back with his co-host, Pastor Tommy Creutz, for a brand-new podcast called The Threshing Floor—where they'll separate the wheat from the chaff on some of today's biggest biblical questions. What's true. What's not. Why it matters. We'll see you there.

Matthew Bhushan just walked across a stage to collect his high school diploma. In a few days, he'll walk onto a college campus in Iowa for the first time. In between those two moments is a story about what it looks like to head into a new season with your faith intact — maybe even stronger than when you started. Matthew joins Pastor Jeff to talk about his relationship with Jesus, what he's learned so far, and what he's carrying with him into freshman year.

Welcome to a new season of Conversations with Jeff Bucknam!

Everybody's got a story — and this one might be one of the most personal conversations yet. Pastor Jeff sits down with his oldest son, Ethan Bucknam, who serves as Worship Director at our Crystal Lake Campus. He's grown up in ministry, lived on three continents, and has a front-row perspective on what it means to follow Jesus as a pastor's kid. This is a conversation worth hearing.

Everybody's got a story. And today's is one of the most compelling we've had. Pastor Jeff sits down with Dr. Jon Kelly — Lead Pastor of Chicago West Bible Church, husband to Danielle, and father of three sons. Jon was born in Chicago and raised in Philadelphia. He's a graduate of Moody Bible Institute, Wheaton College, and holds a doctorate in Global Missions from Southern Theological Seminary.

But what makes Jon's story remarkable isn't just his credentials — it's the road he traveled to get here. As someone formerly incarcerated, Jon's journey is a testament to the redemptive power of God. God had other plans for Jon Kelly. And today, he tells us about them.

Everybody's got a story. And today's is a rich one. Pastor Jeff sits down with Dr. Lina Abujamra — a physician, an author, and a speaker who grew up in Lebanon, where she came to faith in Jesus Christ, before coming to the States to study medicine. The Lord has given her a platform that has encouraged countless people to follow Jesus — and today she shares some of that story with us. They also touch on a topic close to Lina's heart: women serving in ministry, and what that can look like in the local church. However you found this podcast today, we think you'll be glad you stayed for this one.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
