Part 1 with Kristel AvevedoNow that we understand why we want to belong and what it looks like to be friends with God AND others … Let's take this topic deeper! Billy and Ashley are back with Kristel Acevedo to talk about people-pleasing and why that is NOT belonging. We all want to be accepted but pleasing people doesn’t lead to true, authentic belonging. And it will never leave us satisfied. They also talk about belonging in a digital world – why real relationships should be offline not just online. If you missed part ONE, pau...2025-04-1020 minThe Firebrand Show with Billy + Ashley SpriggsSeason 2, Episode 13: Where Do I Fit? Part 1 with Kristel AvevedoBelong.

We are SO excited to have Kristel Acevedo on the show for a few episodes. She is kicking it off with Part ONE (that’s right, next week we will drop Part TWO!) of this conversation on belonging. Billy, Ashley, and Kristel talk about what it means to be friends with God, what real friendships look like, and why we’re created with the need to BELONG. 2025-04-0319 minThe Firebrand Show with Billy + Ashley SpriggsSeason 2, Episode 12: Against The Grain Part 2 with Malachi + Monique JonesLast week’s conversation with Malachi + Monique Jones was SO good we decided to keep it going.

You are going against the grain of culture, standing up for the Kingdom of God but you feel completely alone. We are called to stand out in this world, not fit into it. It’s not always easy, but it is always worth it. Even if it means standing by yourself … but are you really alone? Never! God is always with you and He will always bring the right friends to stand with you. In this episode, Malachi + Monique Jones join the conve...2025-03-2018 minThe Firebrand Show with Billy + Ashley SpriggsSeason 2, Episode 10: Faith Is … with Josue SanchezWhat IS faith? Too often faith gets watered down to just being about trust. But it is SO much more than that. It's what drives you to take action and make a difference in your life and the lives of others. When you truly embody your faith, you move beyond belief and into a space of purpose and impact. So, instead of just thinking about it, let your faith propel you into action and shape the world around you.Josue Sanchez is back in the studio for a conversation all about faith. We know...2025-03-1324 minThe Firebrand Show with Billy + Ashley SpriggsSeason 2, Episode 09: Pass the Baton with Gary Garcia and Eliot BlandAre you stuck in looking at what is ahead for your life, that you forget about the here and now?

In this conversation, Billy and Ashley talk with Gary Garcia and Eliot Bland – legends in the Youth Ministry space – talk about legacy.

From our behavior to the way we talk, to the habits in our everyday life. Sometimes that is easier said than done! In today’s episode, Billy and Ashley sit down with Fiovay Pena, one of the students in their Youth Group to talk about how she has developed self-discipline and the importance of taking ownership of your faith.

Like you aren’t qualified for something or someone. Or maybe you struggle with feeling like you are too much sometimes? Like you're too loud or you have too strong of an opinion. The tension is a real place to be. Psalms 139:13-14 says "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well."If God created every part of YO...2025-02-2029 minThe Firebrand Show with Billy + Ashley SpriggsSeason 2, Episode 06: Give Up Control with Gary GarciaComing into a relationship with Jesus is more than simply inviting Him into your heart. It is an all encompassing surrender of your heart, mind, soul, and life. But in the BEST ways possible! Surrendering to Him means giving up control of your own desires and plans in order to advance His Kingdom. If we are honest, giving up that control isn’t always easy. Billy and Ashley are in the studio with SoCal Youth Director, Gary Garcia, to talk all about giving God control, how it gives US self-control, and ways God will work...2025-02-1319 minThe Firebrand Show with Billy + Ashley SpriggsSeason 2, Episode 05: Hi, I'm Anxiety Part 2 with Meghan + Josue SanchezHave you watched Inside Out 2 yet?!

With Sammy WagnerWe live in a culture that tells us to stuff our emotions down + hide them away. But your emotions are God-given gifts. You are created in His image, so you are created with His emotions (yes, even emotions like anger). God created us with emotions and invites us to feel every one of them, as He did all throughout scripture. Curious about God’s emotions and how they relate to the emotions you are feeling right now? Listen in as we talk with Sammy Wagner about emotions, mental health, and more. 2025-01-1621 minThe Firebrand Show with Billy + Ashley SpriggsSeason 2, Ep 1: Will I Make It Through The Storm?

His story is inspiring and he hopes to encourage YOU to continue to fight for your soul no matter what life throws at you, and to keep your eyes fixed on Jesus - the one who not only saves you from the storm, but walks with you through it.

Can God use ME? A young person? ABSOLUTELY HE CAN! All throughout the Bible, we read stories of God using young people to lead His people, speak His truth, and partner with Him to perform miracles.

We are all driving down this road, called life, and there are going to be several “off-ramps” that may try to distract or tempt us, but we must continue living pure. From our speech to our heart, from our actions to your emotions. Are there areas in your life that need purified?

Gen Z is an optimistic generation with a desire to change the world. But just doing good isn’t enough. Being a good person doesn’t make you a follower of Jesus. Paul (who wrote much of the New Testament) said “works without faith is dead.” You can do all the good in life you desire, but God wants more from you – He wants you to have faith too! We have Eliot Bland back on the show to talk all about this.

Like air, gravity, the law of logic, or love you have for someone. There are several things in our day to day we trust, even though we cannot see it. What about God? We can choose to trust Him, like we trust air and love.

As Christians, we are called to fulfill the Great Commission. That means we need to share Jesus with people who don’t know about Him or don’t believe in Him.
