In a world where we have more voices, distractions, and things to run to than ever before, it can be easy for Jesus to become our last resort instead of our first response. We sit down for an honest conversation about why so many people feel disconnected from faith and what it really means to seek Jesus—not just for what He can give us, but for who He is.

Looking at John 6:66–69, we talk about what happens when following Jesus gets difficult, why we often run back to what is familiar when faith requires us to trust the unknown, and how we can become “too full to be filled” when we allow other voices and distractions to satisfy us. Peter’s question, “Where else would we go?” challenges us to ask ourselves: Do we truly believe that Jesus is the only One who can satisfy?

Now 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, pause and go watch that episode first!! Kristel is dropping more truth in this conversation around belonging.

Belong. We all want to feel like we BELONG. We were created to belong – with others and with God. What does that mean? Where do we fit? 

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. 

Don’t miss this conversation! It is just the beginning of a really powerful few episodes with Kristel.

Have you ever felt like you were standing alone in the world? 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 conversation! They are siblings who are deeply passionate about inspiring their generation to live against the grain. Through their platform, Led2You, they share the truth that is inspired by love and guided by faith. Together they’re using their voices for the Kingdom of God.

What 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 this will impact you and inspire you to live out your faith in your everyday life + in the world you live.

Are you stuck in looking at what is ahead for your life, that you forget about the here and now? It’s so easy to get caught up in the future and wanting to move into the next phase of your life, but staying present is key. Because God wants to partner with you and use YOU 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. When it comes to legacy, it is not just a buzzword – it is a call to action. And no matter what your age is, you are building the legacy you will leave for the next generation right now. So what legacy are you leaving? Are you receiving the baton from the generation before you and are you preparing to pass it to the generation after you? Tune in to hear more!

“You cannot be a disciple without being disciplined” If we are called to be Jesus' disciples then we need to practice self-discipline in everything we do. 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.

Do you ever feel like you are not enough? 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 YOU with purpose, then it is more than enough and never too much. 

Billy and Ashley sit down with Analisa Williams to talk about feeling not enough, feeling too much, and how we can settle into exactly who God created us to be.
