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.","meta_description":"Have you ever wondered what God created you to do?
