With the hopeful news that more young adults are making a personal commitment to Christ, two young women are hoping to turn their generation into a generation of Jesus Freaks. Popularized by the DC Talk song, the idea of Jesus Freaks is people who are sold out for Christ. Ally Yost and Ashley Hetherington are two young YouTubers hoping to turn their generation around for Christ. The two have started the YouTube channel “Jesus Freaks” where they feature their new series by the same name. The series follows their lives as two Christian women living in Los Angeles. The pair sat with CBN to discuss what brought them together.

The two had their own separate social media following prior to teaming up and their own calls to ministry. “Growing up, I would watch these shows where people would be partying and doing things that were not godly. And I would go, ‘Okay, when I grow up, I’m going to do that because that’s what you do,’” said Heatherington. “And so, the Lord put a burden on my heart for this next gen, because they don’t have much to look to, except for what culture is saying.” The two ended up connecting through Instagram and decided to combine their shared love of Christ and outreach. “I think it was one of those things where we both were doing the same thing -online ministry and just talking about our faith. I had seen Ashley’s content, and she had already seen mine, and we connected, and we just were each other’s hype girls,” said Yost.

The two have already finished one season and are preparing for season 2. “We’re kind of in the beginning stages of finding a production house. It’s a lot of work for just the two of us, so we would love to find a team,” said Jost. The two hope that some day they could be picked up by a bigger streaming platform to increase their opportunities for evangelism. “Our dream is to have it available on a streaming platform where unbelievers have access to it, because we want it to be something where unbelievers can go, ‘Oh, I’m bored, I have nothing to watch. I could watch these JESUS FREAKS.’ And then they end up finding joy and positivity from it,” said Heatherington.

One person impacted by their ministry is Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards’ daughter, Lola Sheen. While her mother and younger sister are an OnlyFans duo, Sheen saw one of Yost’s social media posts. She has since shared a video of her baptism. “I began to trust Jesus with my life, when He chose me when no one else did, and loved me when I didn’t feel worthy of love,” wrote Sheen. “He gave me a light, when I couldn’t find my own, and rescued me from the darkness.”
