Harvest Church Podcast

We’re beginning in Genesis, the book of beginnings, where we see creation, humanity’s origin, the fall, and God’s plan to restore what was broken. In Genesis 2, we’re reminded that work was given before sin entered the world. It’s not a curse, but a blessing—part of God’s good design—meant to bring purpose, stewardship, and even joy. Genesis 2 also reveals God’s intentional design for marriage. Fr...

This series launches a exploration of the foundational biblical stories that shape our faith, beginning with Genesis 1–2. It emphasizes that accepting God as Creator is the key that unlocks the meaning of Scripture, revealing a God who brings order from chaos, creates with purpose, and reigns sovereign over all things. Humanity’s creation in God’s image sets us apart with inherent value, moral res...

January is a season of fresh starts and spiritual renewal. God calls us to grow with purpose—through repentance, community, and faithfulness to the process. Spiritual growth doesn’t happen overnight, but through consistent obedience and trusting God’s timing. He’s not just the God of the harvest—He’s the God of the process. If you’re waiting, don’t lose heart.  He’s working.

Influences That Shape Our Personal Development Every one of us has a story—and that story has helped shape who we are today. In Session 2, we explored the many influences that impact our soul, inner stability, and emotional health. We looked at how  original sin ,  culture ,  family of origin , and  spiritual dynamics  all intersect to form our personality, worldview, and sense of self. From our e...

Spiritual growth often starts with good intentions—but many believers get stuck. In this message, we explore key growth killers that hinder healing from the past and learn how living by the Spirit, standing on conviction, and growing in biblical wisdom lead to lasting transformation in Christ.

Mental health matters to God because He created us—body, soul, and spirit—in His image and designed us for harmony with Him, ourselves, others, and creation. Scripture shows that many of the struggles we face today began with the Fall, when sin introduced shame, fear, broken relationships, distorted thinking, and separation from God. These fractures affect our spiritual, emotional, mental, and rel...

We believe that when we acknowledge that there are areas in our life that are not perfect, they need work, they need improvement, growth with God’s help – it gives God, it gives the Holy Spirit room to work in our lives. If we recognize that we need improvement then Biblical wisdom would call us to plan accordingly. Please join us as Pastor Donnie on inviting God in to setting goals for the New Ye...

Dr. Don Immel delivers a message and challenges believers to move beyond simply growing older in faith to intentionally growing up spiritually, as God’s design in Ephesians 4 is maturity, unity, and Christlikeness. Paul teaches that God provides spiritual leadership to equip, strengthen, and unify the church so believers are no longer immature, easily deceived, or spiritually weak. True growth is...

When dealing with chaotic, emotionally or physically abusive family members, or unrepentant sin that is on display for everyone, Christians will often struggle with questions such as: “am I wrong to cut off my own family members? Is setting boundaries unbiblical or unloving? Aren’t I supposed to love everyone especially my family? Don’t I have to love others unconditionally?”  Please join us as Pa...

David was a man used by God in mighty ways. God would take David from being a shepherd, and make him a soldier; and from being the leader of a flock of sheep, to be a general of armies. He’s the balance of the warrior and poet. God uses him in mighty ways and his military career is impressive… Please join us as Pastor Donnie teaches from the life of David.

There may be many things that come to mind when the word “theology” is used. For many it’s a class at a university, for some it’s the mental picture of an intelligent person who has extremely wise things at any moment or who is extremely introspective in regards to life. We can sometimes overthink theology believing that it’s just for a few or on the opposite side of that perspective are those who...
