Have you ever wished you had more time? What if the issue isn’t how much time you have, but what you’re doing with the time you’ve been given? This message looks at what it means to make your days count. Discover what keeps us from recognizing what God has placed right in front of us and how the distractions around us can steal today’s opportunities. When we understand the value of our time, we become more aware of how God wants to use us right where we are. Listen as Bucky challenges us to think differently about how we spend our time—and what we’re doing with the opportunities God has given us.

How would your life change if you truly lived with eternity in view? In this episode, Bucky and Mary explore how an eternal perspective changes the way we think about time, suffering, sin, truth, and faith. They unpack the warning of Hebrews 10, the difference between struggling with sin and rejecting Christ’s authority, and why difficult circumstances don’t necessarily mean something is wrong with your faith. They also discuss the value of time, missed opportunities, and the danger of becoming comfortable with beliefs that don’t line up with biblical truth. What if the way you’re living today is being shaped more by what you can see than by what lasts forever? Listen now and discover why eternity changes everything.

What happens when we evaluate our faith by what we can see and experience right now? The writer of Hebrews reminds us that our earthly circumstances are never separated from eternal realities. In this message, Bucky examines the serious warning of Hebrews 10 and what happens when someone turns away from Christ and His authority. He also challenges believers to look beyond temporary hardship and keep eternity in view. What if the way you see your circumstances is keeping you from seeing what’s really at stake?

Why You Matter Why do you go to church? And does your presence really matter? In this episode, Bucky and Mary explore what it means to gather as the body of Christ—not as consumers asking, “What can this church do for me?” but as believers asking, “What does God want me to do here?” They discuss the responsibility we have to invest in, serve, encourage, and care for one another. Your presence may matter more than you realize. What if God wants to use your faithfulness to gathering with His people in ways you haven’t considered? Listen now and discover why you matter. #faithbasedpodcast #biblepodcast #biblicalteachingpodcast #biblestudypodcast

You likely expect a pastor to say that going to church is important. But have you really considered why? What if gathering with other believers is about more than attending a service? As we finish our Church Matters series, Bucky examines the purpose of gathering in light of the covenant we have through Christ. Our presence matters—not because God needs a crowd, but because He’s called us to belong to one another. This message challenges us to reconsider why we gather and what we might be missing when we don’t. #faithbasedpodcast #biblepodcast #biblicalteachingpodcast #biblestudypodcast

What if the words you speak are doing more than you realize? Bucky and Mary talk about the weight of our words—and why the problem with our tongues goes deeper than what we say. From gossip and impulsive speech to the words that shape our thoughts and influence our lives, they explore what happens when we stop to think before we speak. Bucky also shares his personal experience with hurtful words and how he learned to deal with them. Where's the line between venting, speculation, and gossip? And what does it mean to speak truth without being harsh?

Every church has a difficult member. He causes conflict, hurts relationships, and sometimes drives people away. The problem is, you can’t get rid of him. He goes home with you every Sunday. He’s your tongue. In this message, Bucky examines James 3 and the power of our words to direct our lives, reveal our hearts, and either build people up or tear them down. He explores why our words matter to God and why changing the way we speak requires more than simply watching what we say. Could your tongue be the meanest member in your church? Listen now and find out. #faithbasedpodcast #biblepodcast #biblicalteachingpodcast #biblestudypodcast

What happens when our expectations of church collide with reality? Bucky and Mary talk about why church can be messy, painful, and imperfect—and why that shouldn’t surprise us. They discuss the difference between extending grace and removing responsibility, why humility is essential when we’ve been hurt, and why superficial healing isn’t enough. Most importantly, they explore how we can move beyond focusing on the hurt and learn to depend on Jesus, the One who brings lasting healing. Because the Church isn’t a place where we escape the battle—it’s where we learn to fight it together. #faithbasedpodcast #biblepodcast #biblicalteachingpodcast #biblestudypodcast

What does it really mean to care for one another as the body of Christ? The Bible gives us clear instructions, not only about what we should do but how we should do it. Bucky walks through the practical ways believers are called to care for one another—from encouraging the fainthearted and helping the weak to restoring those who have fallen and carrying one another’s burdens. But caring for one another means more than offering temporary relief. It also means helping one another pursue spiritual health. How is your church doing at caring for the body? And where might you be missing the mark? #faithbasedpodcast #biblepodcast #biblicalteachingpodcast #biblestudypodcast

What if the differences between us aren’t a problem to overcome but a gift from God to embrace? Bucky and Mary talk about spiritual gifts and why the body of Christ needs our differences. They discuss the distinction between talents and spiritual gifts, how appreciating the gifts of others helps us move beyond comparison and competition, and how knowing your gifts can strengthen relationships—including marriage. Discover the value in our differences and how God uses each unique believer for His purpose. We’re not better or worse—just different. #faithbasedpodcast #biblepodcast #biblicalteachingpodcast #biblestudypodcast

God has given you something the Church needs. But are you using it or holding it back? Spiritual gifts were never meant to elevate us, give us recognition, or make us feel important. God gives them to build up the body of Christ and accomplish His purposes. But even good gifts can be misused when the flesh takes control. Are you using your spiritual gifts as God intended? Learn why we need the gifts of others and what happens when we stop comparing our gifts and start appreciating them.   #faithbasedpodcast #biblepodcast #biblicalteachingpodcast #biblestudypodcast

When a first-century church became dysfunctional, they received a letter of correction from the apostle Paul. So why, after centuries of having those letters, do churches still struggle with the same issues? Bucky and Mary explore what causes a church to drift into dysfunction. They discuss how to pursue excellence without “overproduced” programs, why appealing to culture is un-Christlike, and what leads to competition with other churches. Find out what it takes for a church to function as God intended. #faithbasedpodcast #biblepodcast #biblicalteachingpodcast #biblestudypodcast

What happens when a church begins adapting to a changing culture? The Corinthian church offers a sobering warning to churches today. Compromising biblical truth in order to gain cultural acceptance is a dangerous game to play. In this message, Bucky examines how the church at Corinth allowed culture to influence both its message and ministry. He identifies six warning signs that a church has adopted a Corinthian-like model and gives three keys that help churches remain faithful to the message and ministry of Jesus Christ. Would your church get a warning letter from Paul? Listen now and find out. #faithbasedpodcast #biblepodcast #biblicalteachingpodcast #biblestudypodcast

Church is usually the last place people expect to get hurt. So, what happens when people at church offend us, disappoint us, or fail to live up to our expectations? Jesus has always worked through imperfect people, and the Church today is no different. Problems often begin when we focus more on who’s in the seats than who’s on the throne. In this episode, Bucky and Mary discuss what happens when imperfect people gather to worship a perfect God. Find out why church is more than an activity, what shapes our expectations of the Church, and why this series is deeply personal for Bucky. #faithbasedpodcast, #biblepodcast, #biblicalteachingpodcast, #biblestudypodcast
