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 spirit, and ways you can build your trust in Him in a trust-broken world. Tune in!
Who Is In Your Corner?
May 16, 2024 • Billy & Ashley Spriggs
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 personal stories, as they hope to help YOU discover the kind of people God wants you to have in your corner; those who will love, support, and help us grow closer to Him.
So, who is in your corner?
Should I Be Friends With Non-Believers? Part 1
May 2, 2024 • Billy & Ashley Spriggs
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.
If God Forgives, Why Should I Stop Sinning?
April 25, 2024 • Billy & Ashley Spriggs
“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.
Here I Am, Send Me?
April 18, 2024 • Billy & Ashley Spriggs
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 about seeing the next generation live on mission, right where they are. And to see them live with a faith to believe in a God who can do the impossible in our culture today.
What Do I Stand For?
April 11, 2024 • Billy & Ashley Spriggs
“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?
Are God’s Promises Worth Waiting For?
April 4, 2024 • Billy & Ashley Spriggs
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, call, 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 answered, a miracle to happen, or your call to come to life builds your faith + relationship with God. His promises for us are worth waiting for and we need to learn how to wait well while living in a culture that pushes everything in an instant.
Why Does Church Matter?
Billy & Ashley Spriggs

Does God Care When I’m Hurting?
March 21, 2024 • Billy & Ashley Spriggs
Life can be full of ups and downs, highs and lows, pain and joy. And if you have every 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.
How Do I Make My Faith My Own?
March 14, 2024 • Billy & Ashley Spriggs
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 Kaylee!
How Do I Find My Purpose
March 7, 2024 • Billy & Ashley Spriggs
