Fri, 12 Jun 2026 10:33:46 -0500

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.

Thu, 21 May 2026 21:31:22 -0500

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.

Why It’s So Hard to Let Go of Your Old Life (Even When You Love God)

Sat, 09 May 2026 22:33:52 -0500

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.

Thu, 30 Apr 2026 21:25:02 -0500

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

In this episode of Between Sermons, we dive deeper into Luke 5 and unpack two powerful moments: a man desperate for healing and a group of friends willing to do whatever it took to get someone to Jesus.

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.

In this episode:

What to do when God doesn’t move the way you expect
How to trust God in long, difficult seasons
Why you shouldn’t carry everything alone

In this episode of Between Sermons, we’re unpacking the powerful moment in Luke 5 where Peter and the disciples fished all night and caught nothing—until Jesus told them to try again.

But here’s the real question:
What do you do when God asks you to obey… even when it doesn’t make sense?

This conversation gets real about obedience, surrender, and what it truly means to follow Jesus—not just in the big moments, but in everyday decisions. From leaving behind comfort and identity to trusting God in seasons that feel empty, we’re talking about the kind of faith that actually transforms your life.

Why obedience unlocks what effort alone never could
What it really means to “leave everything” and follow Jesus

No Regrets: Living Fully for God | Missions, Fear & Faith

Thu, 26 Mar 2026 17:18:00 -0500

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

Why People Reject What’s Familiar | When You Think You Know Jesus

Thu, 19 Mar 2026 22:33:58 -0500

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.

The 3 Doors of Temptation (Luke 4) | How Jesus Resisted the Enemy & What It Means for Us

Fri, 13 Mar 2026 10:37:17 -0500

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.

Before the Platform: Why God Builds You in Private First

Fri, 27 Feb 2026 17:57:08 -0600

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.

The Humble King: Why Jesus Was Born in a Manger (Luke 2 Explained)

Thu, 19 Feb 2026 20:56:52 -0600

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.

Discipleship Essentials

Thu, 15 Jan 2026 22:05:55 -0600

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.

Do I Really Have to Fast? Prayer, Discipline & Hearing God Clearly

Thu, 08 Jan 2026 22:06:59 -0600

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.

The Savior Complex: Why Trying to Fix Everyone Is Wearing You Out

Sun, 21 Dec 2025 14:33:21 -0600

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.

You Don’t Have a Communication Problem… You Have a YOU Problem

Thu, 11 Dec 2025 21:15:50 -0600

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.

Wed, 03 Dec 2025 18:02:16 -0600

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.

When God Interrupts the Plan: Fear of the Lord, Awe & Obedience | Christian Atheist Finale

Wed, 26 Nov 2025 23:24:38 -0600

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.

What does it really look like to live out your faith in a world full of division, distractions, and struggles? In this episode of Between Sermons, Pastor Brent, Ti’heasha, and Pastor Harry continue our study through 1 Peter by unpacking chapter 2.

The conversation gets real about immaturity vs. maturity in faith, why craving Scripture is the key to growth, how to protect your witness, and what it means to honor leaders (yes, even the tough ones) by remembering the gospel.

Whether you’re wrestling with conflict, craving more of God, or needing encouragement to stay the course, this episode will help you see how timeless and relevant Peter’s words are for us today.

Too Many Tabs Open? Staying Sober-Minded in a Distracted World

Thu, 18 Sep 2025 14:28:31 -0500

What does it really mean to be holy as God is holy? In this episode of Between Sermons, Pastor Brent, Pastor Sol, and Ti’heasha continue our journey through 1 Peter with a conversation about holiness, sober-mindedness, and what it looks like to live set apart in today’s world. Together, they unpack how distractions—whether it’s worry, entertainment, or numbing habits—can keep us from being clear-headed and ready for action. The conversation also tackles what the Bible means by “fear of God,” reframing it not as terror, but as awe, honor, and reverence for the One who judges impartially and loves perfectly. With real talk about the struggles of living holy in a culture that often pushes the opposite, this episode offers encouragement to stay grounded in God’s Word, embrace being different, and let your conduct reflect your identity in Christ.

Your calling can get you in the room, but your character will keep you there. In this episode of Between Sermons, Pastor Brent, Pastor Sol, and Ti’heasha unpack the story of King Saul—a leader chosen by the people but ultimately rejected by God.
