Why does God allow storms in our lives? If Jesus loves us, why doesn't He stop every difficult season? In this episode of Between Sermons, Pastor Brent McQuay, Pastor Carlton McCarthy, and Ti'heasha Beasley unpack Luke 8:19–25 and one of the most relatable moments in the Bible—Jesus calming the storm. Together they explore why obedience sometimes leads directly into hardship, what Jesus meant when He asked, "Where is your faith?", and how Christians can trust God even when He doesn't immediately calm the storm. This conversation tackles some of the biggest questions believers wrestle with: • Why does God allow suffering? • Why do faithful Christians still experience storms? • Does following Jesus make life easier? • How do I trust God when my prayers aren't answered the way I hoped? • What does real faith look like in difficult seasons? Whether you're walking through grief, uncertainty, disappointment, anxiety, or simply wondering where God is in your current season, this episode offers biblical encouragement, honest conversation, and practical hope rooted in Scripture.

Why do some people experience lasting spiritual growth while others seem to stay stuck? In this episode of Between Sermons, Pastor Brent McQuay, Pastor Asa Slaughter, and Ti'heasha Beasley unpack one of Jesus' most powerful parables in Luke 8—the Parable of the Sower—and explore what it truly means to have a heart that's ready to receive God's Word. Together, they discuss the four types of soil, how distractions, worry, comfort, and the pursuit of success can quietly choke out spiritual growth, and why simply hearing the Bible isn't enough if it never transforms the way we live. The conversation also dives into the importance of discipleship, biblical community, missions, and the role every believer plays in advancing God's Kingdom. If you've ever felt spiritually stagnant, struggled to stay consistent in your faith, or wondered why God's Word seems to impact some people more deeply than others, this episode will challenge you to examine the condition of your heart and encourage you to become the kind of "good soil" that produces lasting fruit. Because real discipleship isn't measured by how much of the Bible you know—it's revealed by how deeply God's Word changes your life.

Have you ever wondered what God created you to do? In this episode of Between Sermons, Pastor Brent McQuay, David Beasley, and Ti'heasha Beasley dive into a powerful conversation about discovering your spiritual gifts, finding your God-given purpose, and why true fulfillment comes from serving others instead of chasing influence or recognition. Together, they explore what the Bible teaches about spiritual gifts, how to identify the unique ways God has wired you, and why every gift—whether it's leadership, encouragement, hospitality, teaching, or serving—plays an essential role in building God's Kingdom. They also tackle practical questions about using your gifts, finding purpose after church hurt, balancing platform and humility, and what it means to faithfully steward what God has placed inside of you. If you've ever asked, "What is my purpose?" or "How can God use someone like me?" this conversation will encourage you to stop comparing yourself to others, embrace the gifts God has already given you, and discover the joy that comes from using them well. Because at the end of the day, God didn't save you to sit on the sidelines—He saved you to make an eternal impact.

Can God really forgive anyone? In this episode of Between Sermons, Pastor Brent McQuay, Pastor Sol McQuay, and Ti'heasha Beasley unpack one of the most powerful encounters in the Gospel of Luke—the sinful woman who pours everything she has at the feet of Jesus. What begins as a conversation about Luke 7 quickly turns into a deeper discussion about repentance, grace, shame, conviction, and what it truly means to experience God's forgiveness. Together, they answer honest questions many Christians wrestle with: • What's the difference between guilt, shame, and conviction? • Is repentance more than simply saying, "I'm sorry"? • Are all sins equal in God's eyes? • Why do Christians sometimes become judgmental? • Can someone who's made serious mistakes really receive God's grace? If you've ever struggled with your past, battled feelings of condemnation, or wondered whether God could truly forgive you, this conversation is for you.

What do you do when God doesn't answer your prayer the way you hoped? In this powerful episode of Between Sermons, Pastor Brent McQuay, Ti'heasha Beasley, and Tiffany Hines unpack one of the most honest moments in Scripture—when John the Baptist questioned if Jesus was really the Messiah while sitting in prison. The conversation goes far beyond theology. Pastor Brent vulnerably shares his family's ongoing journey as they navigate his daughter's unexplained autoimmune condition and wrestle with trusting God in the middle of unanswered questions. Together, they explore what it looks like to have a faith that believes God can—while still trusting Him even if He doesn't answer the way we expect. If you've ever wondered: • Why doesn't God answer every prayer? • Why does God heal some people but not others? • Is it okay to question God? • How do I trust God when life doesn't make sense? • What does real biblical faith actually look like? ...this conversation is for you. You'll discover why spiritual maturity isn't built on getting everything you ask for—it's built on learning to trust Jesus for who He is, even when life is painful.

Have you ever wondered if God really sees what you're going through? In this episode of Between Sermons, the conversation continues through Luke 7:1–17, where two very different people encounter Jesus: a Roman centurion desperate for healing and a grieving widow facing unimaginable loss. Together, Pastor Brent McQuay, Pastor Sol McQuay, and Marcus Ivy unpack what these stories reveal about God's authority, compassion, and faithfulness in our hardest moments. Whether you're wrestling with disappointment, struggling to trust God's timing, grieving a loss, or simply trying to understand what it means to truly surrender to God's authority, this conversation offers biblical wisdom and practical encouragement. You'll discover why Jesus can be both powerful enough to change your circumstances and compassionate enough to walk with you through them. If you've ever asked questions like: Does God really care about me? Why is obedience to God so difficult? Can I trust God when life doesn't go the way I planned? What does real faith look like in everyday life? This episode is for you. Comment below: Have you experienced God's compassion or His authority in a difficult season?

What do you do when you know what God is asking you to do... but you're afraid to do it? In this episode of Between Sermons, Pastor Brent McQuay, Pastor Asa Slaughter, and Priti Idrovo unpack Jesus' challenging words in Luke 6: "Why do you call me 'Lord, Lord,' and not do what I say?" Together, they explore the connection between faith, obedience, surrender, and trust, while sharing practical stories about relationships, forgiveness, discipleship, and learning to follow God even when it doesn't make sense. This honest conversation tackles questions many believers wrestle with: Why is obedience so difficult? How do you trust God when His plan feels uncomfortable? What happens when we want God's promises without God's process? Through humor, personal stories, and biblical truth, this episode reminds us that God's commands aren't meant to restrict us—they're meant to build a stronger foundation for our lives. Because at the end of the day, discipleship isn't just hearing what Jesus says. It's trusting Him enough to do it. Comment below: What's one area of your life where God is asking you to trust Him more?

How do you love difficult people when they’ve hurt you, frustrated you, or simply get on your nerves? In this episode of Between Sermons, Pastor Brent McQuay, Pastor Carlton McCarthy, and Ti’heasha Beasley unpack one of Jesus’ hardest teachings in Luke 6: loving your enemies, navigating criticism, healthy accountability, judgment, forgiveness, and what true heart transformation really looks like. From difficult relationships and emotional reactions to the tension between correction and condemnation, this honest, practical, and often funny conversation explores what it means to follow Jesus beyond behavior modification and into real discipleship.    If you’ve ever struggled with loving difficult people, reacting in frustration, feeling judged, or wondering what Jesus actually meant by “turn the other cheek,” this conversation will challenge, encourage, and help you grow in your faith. Because at the end of the day, Jesus isn’t just trying to change our behavior—He’s after our hearts.

What if everything we define as “blessed” is backwards? In this episode of Between Sermons, Pastor Brent McQuay, Pastor Harry Valentine, and Ti’heasha Beasley unpack Luke 6:20–26 and Jesus’ challenging teaching on the Beatitudes, the poor, suffering, rejection, wealth, comfort, and what it truly means to follow Christ. This conversation gets real as they wrestle through: Why Jesus called the poor, hungry, and rejected “blessed” The danger of chasing comfort, approval, and success What the “divine reversal” means in the Kingdom of God How suffering and hardship can refine your faith Why dependence on God matters more than appearances The tension between culture, wealth, and discipleship What it looks like to live fully surrendered to Jesus If you’ve ever questioned: “Am I living for temporary comfort or eternal purpose?” …this episode is for you.

What does it actually mean to rest in God? In this episode of Between Sermons, we unpack Luke 6 and have an honest conversation about the Sabbath, religious pressure, prayer, and what it really means to follow Jesus.

What if following Jesus isn’t about improving your life… but completely replacing it? In this episode of Between Sermons, we unpack Luke 5 and have an honest, real conversation about what it truly means to follow Jesus. From Levi leaving everything behind to the powerful parables of new wine and new wineskins, this episode challenges the idea that we can hold on to our old life while stepping into something new. But we don’t stop at theology—we get practical. We talk about why it’s so hard to let go of old habits, how to recognize the areas God is calling you to surrender, and the difference between discipline, discipleship, and deliverance. If you’ve ever felt stuck, frustrated, or like you’re trying to grow but keep falling back into the same patterns… this conversation is for you. #ChristianPodcast #FaithJourney #Luke5 #SpiritualGrowth #Deliverance #BetweenSermons

Have you ever been praying for something—or someone—and nothing seems to change?

But this isn’t just a Bible story… this is real life. We’re talking about what it looks like to trust God when prayers feel unanswered, how to carry people in faith without burning out, and why community is essential when life gets heavy.

What does it actually mean that Jesus has authority? In this episode of Between Sermons, we unpack Luke 4 and explore the undeniable authority of Jesus—not just in Scripture, but in our everyday lives. From teaching with power to bringing freedom and healing, Jesus didn’t just speak words… He spoke with authority that changed everything. In this conversation, we dive into: What made people amazed at Jesus’ teaching The difference between knowledge and true spiritual authority How Jesus’ authority brings freedom, healing, and transformation Why recognizing His authority changes how we live, pray, and respond What it looks like to submit to Jesus as both Teacher and Lord This episode will challenge you to move beyond just hearing the Word—and start living under the authority of the One who is the Word. Because when Jesus speaks… things shift.

What would your life look like if you lived with no regrets for God? In this episode of Between Sermons, we press pause on our Luke series to have a real, honest conversation about missions, faith, and what it actually means to say “yes” to God—even when it’s uncomfortable. From powerful personal stories to practical takeaways, we unpack: Why fear often keeps us from stepping into our calling What it means to live with “no reserves, no retreats, no regrets” The truth about missions (and why every believer is called) How to follow God even when you feel unqualified or unsure Simple ways to start living boldly for the gospel today Whether you’ve never considered missions or you’ve felt God nudging you to go deeper, this conversation will challenge you to stop playing it safe and start living fully surrendered. Because at the end of the day… you don’t want to look back and wonder, “What if I said yes?”

What happens when something sacred becomes familiar? In this episode of Between Sermons, we unpack Luke 4:16–30, where Jesus returns to His hometown of Nazareth and is met not with celebration, but with doubt and rejection. The same people who grew up around Him missed who He truly was—and if we’re honest, we can too. This conversation explores the tension between familiarity and faith, the danger of becoming too comfortable with what we think we know about God, and how offense can reveal what’s really in our hearts.    If you’ve ever struggled to stay spiritually expectant or felt stuck in routine, this episode will challenge you to see Jesus with fresh eyes and remain open to what He wants to do in your life.

What do you do when temptation shows up in your life? In this episode of Between Sermons, Pastor Brent McQuay, Ti’heasha Beasley, and Marcus Ivy unpack Luke 4:1–15, where Jesus is led into the wilderness and tempted by the enemy. Before Jesus begins His public ministry, He faces three powerful temptations — the same ones many of us still struggle with today. Together, we explore the three “doors” of temptation: appetite, attraction, and ambition, and how these same patterns show up throughout Scripture and in our everyday lives. More importantly, we talk about how Jesus resisted temptation — not just as God, but as a man filled with the Spirit and grounded in the Word. In this conversation we discuss: • Why temptation often comes right after spiritual highs • The three doors Satan uses to tempt us • How Jesus used Scripture to resist the enemy • Why knowing your identity in Christ changes everything • Practical ways to close the doors that lead to sin If you’ve ever felt stuck in cycles of temptation, this conversation will encourage you that victory is possible through the same power Jesus walked in.

What does it really mean to prepare the way for the Lord? In this episode of Between Sermons, the team dives into Luke 3 and the powerful message of John the Baptist—a call to repentance that was never meant to be comfortable, but transformational. As they unpack the historical context and spiritual weight of John’s ministry, the conversation explores what repentance truly looks like today, why preparing our hearts matters before God moves, and how spiritual transformation always produces real fruit in our lives. From confronting religious performance to understanding the role of the Holy Spirit in true change, this episode challenges listeners to move beyond surface-level faith and step into genuine surrender. If you’ve ever wrestled with what repentance actually means or how to align your life with God’s purpose, this conversation will encourage you to examine your heart, clear the path, and make room for God to work.

In this episode of Between Sermons, we unpack a powerful truth many of us don’t like to hear: God often develops you in private before He ever promotes you in public. As we continue walking through Luke, this conversation explores identity, calling, obedience, and the wilderness seasons that shape our character long before anyone applauds it. From wrestling with comparison and visibility to understanding why hidden growth matters, the team reflects on how spiritual maturity is formed in quiet places—not spotlight moments. If you’ve ever felt overlooked, delayed, or unsure about what God is doing in your life, this episode will remind you that preparation is never punishment. God builds depth before He gives influence, and private faithfulness is what sustains public impact.

In this episode of Between Sermons, we dive into Luke 2 and unpack the deeper meaning behind the birth of Jesus. Was Jesus really born on December 25th? What’s the controversy surrounding Luke’s historical accuracy? And what does God’s sovereignty actually mean in our everyday lives? From theological questions about free will and prophecy to the humility of Christ’s birth in a manger, this conversation explores how the “Christmas story” is far more than a seasonal tradition—it’s a personal invitation. We talk about faith and intellect, cultural Christianity, the upside-down kingdom of Jesus, and what it means that the Savior was born “unto us.” If you’ve ever wrestled with doubts, church myths, or how to balance influence and humility in today’s world, this episode will challenge and encourage you.

What do you do when God says something that sounds impossible? In this live episode of Between Sermons, Pastor Brent McQuay, Ti’heasha Beasley, and Ariane Ogunlana unpack the second half of Luke chapter 1 and explore what it really looks like to move in faith “because God said so.” From Mary running to Elizabeth for confirmation, to prophetic promises being fulfilled after 400 years of silence, to Zechariah’s obedience unlocking his voice, this conversation highlights the power of community, the importance of discernment, and the beauty of trusting God before you see the outcome. The team also dives into cultural tension, wilderness seasons, salvation leading to service, and why holiness and righteousness aren’t optional extras but evidence of transformation. Whether you’re walking through a waiting season, processing a word from God, or simply trying to understand Scripture more deeply, this episode will challenge you to trust His promises, lean into community, and live boldly in obedience.  

What does it really mean to be a disciple—and how do you live that out beyond Sunday mornings? In this episode of Between Sermons, Pastor Brent McQuay sits down with David and Ti’heasha Beasley to unpack what real discipleship looks like in everyday life. They explore the difference between being taught and being discipled, why following Jesus requires devotion, discipline, and duplication, and how community plays a vital role in spiritual growth. The conversation brings clarity to common confusion around discipleship, challenges the idea that online sermons alone are enough, and reminds believers that discipleship is both personal and relational. Whether you’re new to faith, feeling stuck, or ready to go deeper, this episode invites you to reflect on who is discipling you—and who God may be calling you to disciple next.

Kicking off 2026, the Between Sermons crew sits down for an honest, practical conversation about prayer, fasting, and what it really means to hear God clearly. In this episode, Pastor Brent McQuay, Pastor Asa Slaughter, and Ti’heasha Beasley unpack the heart behind fasting—not as a religious routine or New Year’s diet, but as a spiritual discipline that helps believers humble themselves, grow in devotion, and draw closer to God. Together, they break down why fasting is always connected to food in Scripture, how unity in fasting strengthens the church, and how saying “no” to our flesh trains us to say “yes” to God. The conversation also tackles real questions people wrestle with: How do I know I’m hearing God and not just my own thoughts? Does God speak audibly? What if I’m afraid of getting it wrong? Through stories, laughter, and biblical wisdom, the team makes spiritual practices feel accessible, honest, and deeply relevant. Whether you’re new to fasting, struggling with discipline, or longing to hear God’s voice more clearly, this episode offers encouragement, clarity, and next steps as Disciples Church enters the Grounded season—rooted in prayer, discipleship, and Scripture. Pull up a chair and join the conversation as faith meets real life.

What happens when helping people turns into carrying burdens God never asked you to carry? In this episode of Between Sermons, Pastor Sol McQuay, Pastor Asa, and Ti’heasha Beasley unpack the final message of the Red Flags series by tackling the Savior Complex—the subtle but exhausting belief that it’s our job to fix, rescue, or control the outcomes of the people we love. Through honest stories, humor, and deep biblical wisdom, they explore how emotional suppression, poor communication, and misplaced responsibility can quietly lead to burnout, anxiety, and spiritual heaviness. This conversation challenges listeners to recognize when compassion turns into control, how to love people without making them projects, and why true freedom only comes when we surrender outcomes to God. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by other people’s problems, struggled to let go, or felt spiritually exhausted from “doing too much,” this episode will help you put the cape down, trust God again, and learn what healthy, Spirit-led love really looks like. 

In this episode of Between Sermons, Pastor Brent, Ti’heasha, and Priti dive into one of the most relatable topics in our everyday lives: communication red flags. Inspired by Pastor Chris’ message, the team talks honestly about why we say things the way we do, how childhood patterns follow us into adulthood, and why so many of us struggle with defensiveness, harsh language, avoidance, or shutting down. Using the life of David as a powerful warning about the cost of poor communication, they explore how our words can either build relationships or quietly destroy them. From marriage and parenting to leadership and friendship, this conversation blends humor, vulnerability, and biblical truth to help us recognize our blind spots, confront ourselves first, and let the Holy Spirit reshape how we speak. If you’ve ever wondered why certain conversations feel hard, why you react the way you do, or how to confront someone without damaging the relationship, this episode will give you clarity, encouragement, and practical tools for healthier, more God-honoring communication. #BetweenSermons #RedFlags #Communication #EmotionalHealth #ChristianPodcast #DisciplesChurch #Relationships #HolySpirit

In this episode of Between Sermons, Pastor Brent, Ti’heasha, and Lashon dive into one of the most real and relatable topics in our faith journey—our emotions. Kicking off the new Red Flags series, the team gets honest about anger, frustration, rejection, insecurity, and the emotional patterns we inherit or ignore. Using the story of Jonah as a mirror, they explore why our feelings aren’t the problem—it's when those emotions start controlling our decisions, reactions, and relationships. From personal testimonies of healing to practical steps for digging deeper, processing instead of suppressing, and letting the Holy Spirit shape our responses, this conversation is both hilarious and healing. If you’ve ever asked, “Why am I like this?” or blamed the devil for what’s really emotional mismanagement, this episode will challenge you to look in the mirror, get curious, take ownership, and invite God into the messiness of your heart. #BetweenSermons #RedFlagsSeries #EmotionalHealth #FaithAndFeelings #DisciplesChurch #ChristianPodcast #Jonah #SpiritualGrowth

What happens when God completely takes over a Sunday service? In this episode of Between Sermons, Pastor Brent, Ti’heasha, and Pastor Jason unpack the powerful move of God that stopped the 10:30 service in its tracks — a moment of awe, surrender, and unmistakable presence. Using this experience as a backdrop, the team dives deeper into the final message of the Christian Atheist series: The Fear of the Lord. They break down what biblical fear actually means (awe + obedience + worship), why it draws us closer to God instead of pushing us away, and how delayed obedience, pride, and distraction can keep us from intimacy with Him.  This honest conversation explores legalism vs. true reverence, the danger of replacing conviction with excuses, and how God’s presence reshapes our lives when we stop managing Him and start submitting to Him. Whether you were in the room on Sunday or you’re hearing about it for the first time, this episode will challenge you to pause, reflect, and realign your heart with the God who is both holy and near. #BetweenSermons #ChristianAtheist #FearOfTheLord #DisciplesChurch #Faith #Obedience #PresenceOfGod #ChristianPodcast

Is the Bible really trustworthy?

From the story of “Doubting Thomas” to how faith and questions can coexist, this conversation reminds us that God welcomes investigation because truth has nothing to hide.
