We will face storms in life. That’s life (and we cannot control it). But what we can control is where we fix our eyes. We sit down with Antonop Cooper who faced one of the biggest, most life-threatening storms of his life in 2023. 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.

The FINAL episode on Season 1 has to be one of this season's best ... it's all about God using young people for His Kingdom. 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. Matthew Blokdijk joins Billy and Ashley to dig into this further. We hope this encourages YOU to step into boldness and let God use you to change the world around you. Be su...

Purity is MORE than physical – it is living in a manner that is pure in every area of your life. 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? Listen in as we sit down with Chris Avila to talk about all things #purity and living your life in a way that pleases God. ...

Being good … it is enough? 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. Tune in as Billy, Ashley, and Eliot walk us through what it look...

What is something you know is true, and even though you cannot see it you trust it? 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. In this conversation, Billy and Ashley sit with Matthew Blokdijk for a conversation all about trusting in God, even though we don’t see Him with our own eyes. They dig into creation, God’s spir...

Who is in your corner matters — the right people can lead to right living just as much as the wrong people can lead to wrong living. What groups of friends do you hang out with when the going gets tough? Who is cheering you on to keep going? Do you have people in your life who point you back to God? Listen in as Billy and Ashley talk with Chris Avila, a Pro Sports Chaplain, to have a deep conversation about the importance of having people in your corner. They dive into scripture and share perso...

Eliot Bland is BACK for part 2 of this conversation on being friends with non-believers. If you haven’t watched part 1 yet, make sure to tune in before listening to this one. 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. It might even mean we become friends with them in the process. Walking this path can be dangerous if you don’t have a solid foundation of faith and a deep relationshi...

As Christians, we are called to fulfill the Great Commission. That means we need to share Jesus with people that don’t know about Him or don’t believe in Him. It might even mean we become friends with them in the process. Walking this path can be dangerous if you don’t have a solid foundation of faith and a deep relationship with Jesus. We talk about how to navigate through life and not let it overtake you. Be sure to follow us: Instagram: @thefirebrandshow TikTok: @thefirebrandshow Billy Sp...

“God is going to forgive me anyway, so why should I stop sinning?” It’s a question we have all asked ourselves at some point in our walk with God. But God wants us to live a righteous, pure, and holy life. Those are big words but they carry great power if you can understand them and how they can help YOU walk away from or resist sin, as you face it. Listen in as Billy and Ashley talk with Christian Falcon to break down those big words + share WHY it is good for you to turn from sin. Be sure to...

Have you ever wondered what living out your call to reach the world looks like? You may have seen friends go on mission trips or volunteer at local organizations, but don’t really understand how God could use YOU to reach the world. In today’s conversation, Billy and Ashley sit down with Jaylin Moreno to talk about living on mission. Jaylin recently partnered with YWAM (Youth With A Mission) on a multi-month missions trip where she got to step into living on mission. Now, she is passionate abou...

“If you stand for nothing, you’ll fall for anything.” Are you conforming to culture or standing up for who God created you to be? Billy + Ashley sit down with Chris Serra to talk about what it means to stand up for your faith + who God made you to be in your world. → What are you standing for?

Why wait when you can have it now? We live in a culture that doesn’t know how to wait well – everything is available to us instantly and that means our dreams, desires, calling, and purpose should be also. But that is not how God’s promises for us work! We have Jacob Salguero back on the show to talk about the mindset of Gen Z. We focus on the struggle of instant gratification that this generation (and our world) has in front of them. Learning to suffer well while you wait for a prayer to be a...

Life can be full of ups and downs, highs and lows, pain and joy. And if you have ever experienced the more painful, low seasons then you have likely asked the question, “Does God care when I am hurting?” In those moments, it can feel like you are alone and no one cares when you are hurting, especially God. But He does care, and He is with you. Always. Billy + Ashley sit down with Jonathan (Jono) Brezdon-Galloway to talk about seasons of pain and hurt, and where they have felt God in it. Watch...

Raised in the church or not, there comes a time when you have to step into your own faith (not the faith of your parents or those around you). But how do you do that? How do you make faith your own, personal faith? Kaylee Castano was raised in the church and her parents were her pastors. She moved states following God’s call on her family’s life, trusting in Him. But what did that mean for her personal relationship and faith in Him? Listen in as Billy + Ashley talk about owning your faith with ...
