Between Sermons // Audio

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?”

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

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.

What does real faith look like in everyday life? This episode is for you. Comment below: Have you experienced God's compassion or His authority in a difficult season?

How do you love difficult people when they’ve hurt you, frustrated you, or simply get on your nerves?
