Between Services

Between Services is where faith, fellowship, and sports come together. Hosted by Hamilton Mathis and Brent Silvia, this podcast feels like those lobby conversations in a small South Carolina church—discussing the Gamecocks ups, NFL, MLB, NASCAR, NBA, and pro golf all get debated with a mix of passion and good humor. It’s the kind of back-and-forth you’d hear while grabbing a cup of coffee before the next service. Each episode wraps up with a short devotion, bringing it all back to faith and perspective beyond the scoreboard.

Shifting to other sports, the guys discuss the World Series split between the Dodgers and Blue Jays, debating whether the Fall Classic will head back to Toronto for Game 5.Plus, they cover a bombshell gambling bust in the NBA, the Gamecocks' tough exhibition loss to Will Wade's NC State Wolfpack in Greensboro, and the setting of the NASCAR Championship 4 at Phoenix, thanks to Hamilton's favorite driver, William Byron's dramatic walk-off win at Martinsville.The podcast then wraps up with a thoughtful devotion on Matthew 5:48. This segment offers encouragement and reflection on the struggles that accompany imperfections in our walk with Christ, bringing a meaningful close to a packed episode of sports analysis and discussion.Thank you for listening to Between Services!Follow us on Instagram and TwitterCheckout the Between Services Bible Reading Plan

ABOUT THIS SHOW

Between Services is where faith, fellowship, and sports come together. Hosted by Hamilton Mathis and Brent Silvia, this podcast feels like those lobby conversations in a small South Carolina church—discussing the Gamecocks ups, NFL, MLB, NASCAR, NBA, and pro golf all get debated with a mix of passion and good humor. It’s the kind of back-and-forth you’d hear while grabbing a cup of coffee before the next service. Each episode wraps up with a short devotion, bringing it all back to faith and perspective beyond the scoreboard.
