If you need to query ONLY sticky (featured) WordPress posts with Bricks builder, here is how to do it.

1) You should know how it works in WP Query

Here is how you construct WP Query to get sticky posts:

<?php
// arguments for query
$args = array(
    'posts_per_page'      => -1, // -1 = unlimited
    'post__in'            => get_option( 'sticky_posts' ), // only sticky posts
    'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1,
);
// Creating a new WP_Query instance with $args
$query = new WP_Query( $args );

// Start the Loop
if ( $query->have_posts() ) {
    while ( $query->have_posts() ) {
        $query->the_post();
        
        // Display the title and content of each post
        echo '<h2>' . get_the_title() . '</h2>';
        the_content();
    }
} else {
    // If no sticky posts found
    echo 'No sticky posts found.'; // Display a message
}

// Reset Post Data
wp_reset_postdata();
?>

2) Use the Query editor in Bricks Builder

Now you can use the knowledge in the Bricks builder.

1. Turn on the Bricks builder’s Query editor
2. Select Type = Posts
3. Turn on the Query editor (PHP)
4. Insert your Query $Args into the return PHP array

return [
'posts_per_page'     => -1, // Change by your needs
      'post__in'     => get_option( 'sticky_posts' ),
      'ignore_sticky_posts' => 1,
];

3) Try it

Hurray! You are done. Time to test and edit your query args if you need.
