In a world where the influence of faith can be seen in many different places, two bold podcast hosts have made waves by putting their spirituality front and center. Angela Halili and Arielle Reitsma, the dynamic duo behind the rapidly climbing “Girls Gone Bible” podcast, are taking the airwaves by storm while spreading their message of hope and healing through Christianity. Their remarkable rise in the podcast world has even led them to a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity where they prayed over President Trump at a pre-inauguration rally—a surreal moment for the hosts.
The podcast started with a deep connection to faith and personal transformations. Angela, who experienced a radical change in her life thanks to her faith in Jesus, met Ariel, who was on a similar journey. Together, they discovered the importance of sharing their experiences with others who might not have an accurate view of God or who have never stepped foot inside a church. Realizing that many potential listeners might connect more with a podcast than in a traditional setting, they jumped into the studio and turned their faith journey into a captivating show.
What makes “Girls Gone Bible” stand out is its refreshing sincerity. Both hosts acknowledge their imperfections, reminding listeners that it’s okay to have struggles and to seek healing. Their motto, “We’re two imperfect girls serving a perfect God,” resonates with audiences of all ages, appealing to both young girls and women well into their golden years. During live shows, they create a welcoming environment that emphasizes community, letting their fans know they are not alone on this journey through life.
As they journeyed through the podcasting landscape, they had a major highlight that they will cherish forever: praying for President Trump. This experience was not only a personal triumph but also an incredible feeling for Angela, whose immigrant parents had dreams of a better life in America. To witness her dreams come to fruition in such a meaningful way is a testament to the American spirit. She was touched by the opportunity to pray openly without any censorship, reflecting a larger conversation about faith and freedom in America.
Looking forward, Angela and Ariel are not slowing down. They are preparing for their upcoming “For God So Loved the World Tour,” which kicks off in Pittsburgh. This tour promises to bring their heartfelt mission to audiences far and wide, inviting individuals from all walks of life to join them in exploring faith, building community, and finding healing together. It’s clear that with their incredible journey, these two girls are making a significant impact, one podcast episode at a time.
In a time when faith and spirituality can sometimes feel sidelined, Angela and Ariel remind everyone that it’s perfectly okay to wear your heart on your sleeve. They illustrate that seeking a relationship with God can be a fun, exciting, and inclusive adventure—showing that there are always ways to connect, heal, and grow. It’s a beautiful—and at times hilarious—reminder that life’s messy, but sharing your journey of faith can lead to some truly amazing experiences!
