Why It’s So Hard to Let Go of Your Old Life (Even When You Love God)

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.

What Happens When God Doesn't Meet Your Expectations?

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. If you've ever asked questions like: * Does God really care about me? * Why is obedience to God so difficult? * Can I trust God when life doesn't go the way I planned? * 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?
