Jesus Never Promised an Easy Life (Here’s What He Did Promise)
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. Scripture: Luke 8:19–25 If this conversation encouraged you, be sure to Like, Subscribe, and share it with someone walking through a storm. New episodes of Between Sermons release every week as we continue studying the Gospel of Luke together.

The #1 Reason Christians Stay Stuck
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.

Stop Chasing Platforms. Start Using Your Gifts.
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.

Why Religious People Judge (And Jesus Didn’t)
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.

Does God Still Heal? A Conversation Every Christian Needs
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.

You'll discover why Jesus can be both powerful enough to change your circumstances and compassionate enough to walk with you through them.

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.
