In this special episode of Between Sermons, Pastor Brent McQuay sits down with Disciples Church founding pastors Jerry and Chris McQuay for an honest conversation about more than 50 years of missions, ministry, sacrifice, obedience, and the people who changed their lives along the way.

From prison stories in Iran and ministry in Russia, Cambodia, the Philippines, Africa, and beyond, they share the moments that shaped their faith and taught them what it really means to love people who may not look, live, or worship like you.

They also tackle one of the biggest questions believers have about missions: “What if I’m too busy, too old, can’t afford it, or simply don’t feel ready?”

The answer is challenging but simple... following Jesus was never meant to depend on convenience.

This conversation explores why missions can deepen your discipleship, expand your perspective, challenge your comfort, reshape your identity, and remind you that Christianity is much bigger than the church experience you know at home.

Because when you go, you may think you’re going to change someone else’s life—but God may use the experience to change yours.

💬 Join the conversation: Have you ever been on a mission trip? If so, how did it change you?

In this episode of Between Sermons, Ti’heasha Beasley sits down with Pastor Brent McQuay and Pastor Carlton McCarthy for an honest conversation about Luke 11, the Pharisees, hypocrisy, spiritual health, pride, leadership, conviction, and the condition of our hearts.

Jesus challenged religious leaders who looked righteous on the outside while ignoring what was happening within. And that raises an uncomfortable but important question for believers today: Are we actually becoming healthier disciples of Jesus—or have we simply learned how to look the part?

The conversation explores why Christian habits can become empty routines, how pride and recognition can quietly influence leadership, why correction from the Holy Spirit shouldn’t lead to shame, and how to tell the difference between conviction that helps us grow and condemnation that leaves us feeling defeated.

Instead of reading Jesus’ warnings and immediately thinking about someone else, this episode invites us to ask a harder question: What if the “woe” has my name on it?

Because spiritual maturity isn’t about maintaining a polished outside. It’s having the humility to let God search what’s happening inside and then allowing Him to lead us toward change.

💬 Join the conversation: What is one area of your life God has been challenging you to examine more closely?

In this episode of Between Sermons, Ti’heasha Beasley, Pastor Brent McQuay, and Pastor Moises Mendez have an honest conversation about faith, doubt, signs and wonders, spiritual maturity, and learning to trust God when life doesn’t look the way you expected.

Using Luke 11 as the foundation, they unpack why Jesus challenged people who kept asking for another sign, even while the evidence of who He was stood right in front of them. The conversation gets practical as they explore what happens when pain makes you question God’s goodness, why chasing spiritual experiences can never replace obedience, and how community can help carry you through seasons when your faith feels weak.

They also challenge us to look inward: Are there areas of our lives we still haven’t fully surrendered to God? Are jealousy, resentment, pride, disappointment, or unmet expectations affecting how we see Him—and how we see other people?

Because sometimes the issue isn’t that God isn’t present. Sometimes we’re looking for Him to show up in one specific way and missing how He is already moving.

If you’ve ever asked, “God, where are You?” or wondered why He hasn’t answered the way you hoped, this conversation is for you.

💬 Join the conversation: Have you ever gone through a season where you struggled to see God’s goodness?

Have you ever thought about going on a mission trip but immediately started thinking about the money, the time, the travel—or whether God is actually calling you to go? In this special episode of Between Sermons, we’re talking all things missions: how to know when it’s time to say yes, how to spiritually and practically prepare, how to raise support, what to expect when things don’t go according to plan, and why serving outside of your comfort zone can change the way you see God, yourself, and the world around you.

You’ll also hear real—and hilarious—stories from mission trips around the world and discover why you don’t have to feel completely ready or qualified to make a difference. If missions have ever been on your heart, consider this your invitation to start asking God, “Is it time for me to go?”

Can you be doing good things—even things for God—and still miss what matters most? In this episode of Between Sermons, Pastor Brent McQuay, Pastor Sol McQuay, and Ti’heasha Beasley unpack Luke 10 and the stories of Mary and Martha and the Good Samaritan to talk about busyness, distractions, compassion, and what it really looks like to love God and love your neighbor. They explore why slowing down matters, how even good responsibilities can compete for our attention, and how to recognize the people God may be placing right in front of us.

If you’ve been overwhelmed, stretched thin, or struggling to balance everything on your plate, this conversation will challenge you to rethink your priorities, pay attention to the Holy Spirit’s prompting, and ask a simple question: Who is the one person God is asking you to see today?

Is being a good person enough to show people who Jesus is—or do we actually have to open our mouths and share our faith?

In this episode of Between Sermons, Pastor Brent McQuay, Ti'heasha Beasley, and Pastor Asa Slaughter continue the conversation from Luke 10 and get practical about evangelism, discipleship, and what it means to represent Jesus in everyday life. From how we treat people at church, at work, and even at restaurants to having real conversations about Jesus with friends, family, neighbors, and coworkers, this episode challenges us to ask whether our lives are actually pointing people toward Christ.

They also unpack the difference between simply inviting someone to church and making disciples, why you don’t need to know every answer before sharing your faith, and how your personal testimony can become one of the most powerful tools you have. If you’ve ever thought, “I want to tell people about Jesus, but I don’t know what to say,” this conversation is for you.

The harvest is plentiful. The question is: Are we willing to go?

Scripture: Luke 10:1–20

What if one of the hardest parts of following Jesus isn't changing what you do, but changing how you think? In this powerful episode of Between Sermons, Pastor Brent McQuay, Ti'heasha Beasley, and Pastor Carlton McCarthy unpack Luke 9:44–62 and explore what it really means to develop a Kingdom mindset. From the disciples arguing about greatness and competing with other believers to wanting judgment for people who rejected Jesus, this passage shows just how easily our natural thinking can conflict with the way of Jesus. The conversation gets practical about ambition, pride, comparison, how we treat people who disagree with us, praying for our enemies, letting go of our past, and the true cost of following Christ. They also wrestle with a challenging question: Can you move forward with Jesus while still looking backward at the life He called you out of? Following Jesus isn't about getting everything right immediately—it's about continually allowing the Word of God and the Holy Spirit to reshape the way we see ourselves, other people, our enemies, and our future. Keep your eyes forward. Keep your eyes on Jesus.

Is it demonic oppression, spiritual warfare, or simply an area where you need more discipline and discipleship? In this episode of Between Sermons, Pastor Brent McQuay, Ti'heasha Beasley, and Pastor Jason Parks continue through Luke 9:28–43 and have an honest conversation about freedom in Christ, demon possession, spiritual oppression, open doors, footholds, strongholds, and what spiritual warfare can actually look like in everyday life. From addictions and unhealthy relationships to our thoughts, behaviors, habits, and the subtle compromises we often overlook, this conversation challenges us not to become obsessed with the demonic—but to become more aware of the authority and freedom we have in Jesus. They also unpack the difference between conviction and condemnation, why not every struggle requires deliverance, and how prayer, discipline, discipleship, community, counseling, and renewing your mind can all be part of walking in freedom.

Ultimately, whether you're on the mountaintop or walking through a valley, the answer remains the same: be with Jesus, listen to Jesus, and bring your crisis to Jesus.

What does it actually mean to deny yourself, take up your cross daily, and follow Jesus? In this episode of Between Sermons, Pastor Brent McQuay, Ti'heasha Beasley, and Tiffany Hines unpack Luke 9:18–26 and have an honest conversation about the real cost of discipleship. They talk about surrendering control, chasing platforms and success, trusting God when His plan doesn’t look like yours, choosing discipline over comfort, and why taking up your cross means much more than simply enduring life's problems.

They also wrestle with the question many Christians face: How do I actually surrender to God every day? From prayer and Scripture to community and accountability, this conversation gets practical about following Jesus when obedience is difficult. And while discipleship requires sacrifice, Jesus isn't calling us into an empty life... He's leading us into an abundant one. If you've ever struggled with control, disappointment with God, dying to your own plans, or wondering what following Jesus really requires, this episode is for you.

How do you know when God is telling you to move—and when He’s telling you to be still? In this episode of Between Sermons, Ti'heasha Beasley sits down with Pastor Asa Slaughter and Pastor Jason Parks for an honest conversation about hearing God, obedience, rest, calling, and trusting His timing. Using Luke 9:10–17 and the feeding of the 5,000, they unpack what it means to know the One beside you, face the facts without allowing the facts to become final, and recognize the difference between God-given work and unnecessary toil.

They also get real about feeling unqualified, trying to save everybody, pursuing titles instead of formation, and learning to obey God even when you don’t know how everything will turn out. If you’ve ever wondered, “Did I really hear God?” “Is this my assignment?” or “Should I move or should I wait?” This conversation will encourage you to trust God one step at a time.

Scripture: Luke 9:10–17
