What do you do when you've prayed, believed, and trusted God... but nothing changes?
In this episode of Between Sermons, Pastor Brent McQuay, Priti Idrovo, and Ti'heasha Beasley unpack one of the hardest realities of the Christian life: trusting God when the answer isn't immediate—or isn't what you hoped for.
Using the powerful stories of Jairus' daughter and the woman with the issue of blood in Luke 8, the conversation explores what biblical faith really looks like. Together, they wrestle with waiting seasons, unanswered prayers, disappointment, infertility, suffering, comparison, and how to remain anchored in God's character instead of our circumstances.
This honest conversation answers questions like:
• Why doesn't God answer every prayer?
• How do I trust God while I'm waiting?
• Is it wrong to feel frustrated with God?
• What does real faith actually look like?
• How do I keep believing when I don't see a miracle?
• Can God change me even if He doesn't change my situation?
If you've ever felt discouraged, exhausted from waiting, or wondered if God has forgotten you, this episode will remind you that faith isn't about getting everything you want—it's about learning to trust the One who never changes.

Why does God allow storms in our lives? If Jesus loves us, why doesn't He stop every difficult season?

• 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?

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.

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.
