You could use a PHP class with your custom functions in it. Use the
class name ...

bp_Custom_Functions::debug( $args );


... or use "new":

$custom = new bp_Custom_Functions();

$custom->debug( $args );


class bp_Custom_Functions {

     function debug( $args ) {
         wp_die( '<pre>' . var_export( $args, true ) . '</pre>' );
     }

     // ...
}
