Faithfulness, Integrity & Endurance: Joseph’s Blueprint for God’s Calling
Friday Aug 08, 2025
Friday Aug 08, 2025
In this episode of Between Sermons, Pastor Brent, Ti’heasha, and Marcus Ivy unpack the powerful story of Joseph—his dreams, his detours, and his unwavering faith through years of waiting. They explore what it truly means to be “called” and how to discover your purpose even if you’ve never had a dramatic God-moment. Through Joseph’s example, they discuss the importance of faithfulness, integrity, and endurance, showing how these qualities matter more than titles or positions. You’ll hear why setbacks, haters, and detours can’t derail God’s plan for your life—unless you let them—and how to wait well by trusting God’s timing.
Whether you’re in a season of uncertainty or stepping into your purpose, this conversation offers biblical insight, practical encouragement, and a reminder that God is with you every step of the way.

In this powerful episode of Between Sermons, Pastor Brent McQuay, Tiffany Hines, and licensed Christian therapist Quiana Hardy dive into Disney and Pixar’s Inside Out 2 to unpack what it teaches us about emotional health, anxiety, and how we process life—especially during the tween and teen years. From the spinning chaos of anxiety to the beauty of choosing joy, this episode is full of insight, humor, and real talk.
Together, they explore why anxiety often shows up as a need for control, how our emotions reflect our spiritual lives, and how Scripture invites us to bring order to our internal chaos. Quiana offers wisdom on the difference between everyday worry and anxiety disorders, when to seek help, and why therapy and faith are not mutually exclusive. They also discuss the difference between happiness and biblical joy, how to model emotional maturity for our kids, and the power of gratitude and perspective in staying grounded.
Whether you’re a parent, teen, or someone navigating hard emotions, this episode will help you feel seen—and give you language to move forward with hope. Pastor Brent also shares his own journey with social anxiety, and how preparation, presence, and the Holy Spirit help him face it head-on.
This isn’t just a conversation about a movie—it’s a conversation about life, faith, and what it really means to choose joy even when it’s hard.
