What does it really mean to be a disciple—and how do you live that out beyond Sunday mornings? In this episode of Between Sermons, Pastor Brent McQuay sits down with David and Ti’heasha Beasley to unpack what real discipleship looks like in everyday life. They explore the difference between being taught and being discipled, why following Jesus requires devotion, discipline, and duplication, and how community plays a vital role in spiritual growth. The conversation brings clarity to common confusion around discipleship, challenges the idea that online sermons alone are enough, and reminds believers that discipleship is both personal and relational. Whether you’re new to faith, feeling stuck, or ready to go deeper, this episode invites you to reflect on who is discipling you—and who God may be calling you to disciple next.

Kicking off 2026, the Between Sermons crew sits down for an honest, practical conversation about prayer, fasting, and what it really means to hear God clearly. In this episode, Pastor Brent McQuay, Pastor Asa Slaughter, and Ti’heasha Beasley unpack the heart behind fasting—not as a religious routine or New Year’s diet, but as a spiritual discipline that helps believers humble themselves, grow in devotion, and draw closer to God.

Together, they break down why fasting is always connected to food in Scripture, how unity in fasting strengthens the church, and how saying “no” to our flesh trains us to say “yes” to God. The conversation also tackles real questions people wrestle with: How do I know I’m hearing God and not just my own thoughts? Does God speak audibly? What if I’m afraid of getting it wrong? Through stories, laughter, and biblical wisdom, the team makes spiritual practices feel accessible, honest, and deeply relevant.

Whether you’re new to fasting, struggling with discipline, or longing to hear God’s voice more clearly, this episode offers encouragement, clarity, and next steps as Disciples Church enters the Grounded season—rooted in prayer, discipleship, and Scripture. Pull up a chair and join the conversation as faith meets real life.

What happens when helping people turns into carrying burdens God never asked you to carry? In this episode of Between Sermons, Pastor Sol McQuay, Pastor Asa, and Ti’heasha Beasley unpack the final message of the Red Flags series by tackling the Savior Complex—the subtle but exhausting belief that it’s our job to fix, rescue, or control the outcomes of the people we love. Through honest stories, humor, and deep biblical wisdom, they explore how emotional suppression, poor communication, and misplaced responsibility can quietly lead to burnout, anxiety, and spiritual heaviness. This conversation challenges listeners to recognize when compassion turns into control, how to love people without making them projects, and why true freedom only comes when we surrender outcomes to God. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by other people’s problems, struggled to let go, or felt spiritually exhausted from “doing too much,” this episode will help you put the cape down, trust God again, and learn what healthy, Spirit-led love really looks like.
