About Pastor Harry Behrens

​

Harry D. Behrens is a Christian author, pastor, and teacher who is deeply committed to faithfully and clearly conveying the truth of God’s Word. With more than twenty years of ministry experience, he has devoted his life to the careful study of Scripture and to helping believers grow in spiritual maturity, confidence, and dependence on Christ. His teaching focuses on guiding people to live lives that bring glory to God through obedience, humility, and trust in His promises.

​

In 2011, Harry founded Impact Harvest, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing fresh produce to underserved communities while sharing the gospel with individuals facing hardship. Through this work, he has combined practical service with biblical discipleship, using everyday labor as a platform for spiritual growth and mentorship—especially among young adults learning to live faithfully in a challenging world.

​

Today, Harry pastors primarily through his teaching ministry, podcast, discipleship training programs, and personal mentorship. Through The Takeaway podcast and related resources, he provides verse-by-verse biblical instruction designed to equip believers with sound doctrine and a deeper understanding of God’s purposes. His first book, Chosen by Design – God’s Purpose for Your Life, was published in 2024 and reflects this same commitment to Scripture-centered teaching.

​

As a bivocational pastor, Harry supports his family through farming and landscaping, viewing his work not merely as employment, but as an extension of his faith. His daily labor serves as a living example of stewardship, perseverance, and reliance on God’s provision. By integrating ministry, work, and community service, he seeks to model a life of faithful dependence on Christ for those he teaches and mentors.

​

Harry’s life and ministry are centered on one purpose: to know Christ, to make Him known, and to help others walk faithfully in the freedom and assurance found in Him.
