Girls Gone Bible

Angela Halili and Arielle Reitsma launched Girls Gone Bible in 2023 and it took off fast. The premise is simple -- two friends talking about Jesus, life, and everything in between -- but the execution connects because they lead with honesty instead of polish. Angela has been open about her recovery from disordered eating and her sobriety journey. That kind of vulnerability sets the tone for the whole show. The podcast has racked up 145 episodes and earned a 4.6 rating from nearly 3,000 reviews on Apple Podcasts. Episodes release biweekly and typically run 45 minutes to an hour. Topics range from grief and waiting seasons to spiritual strongholds and what it means to serve God as an imperfect person. They describe themselves as imperfect girls serving a perfect God, and that framing keeps things grounded rather than performative. Guests include ministry leaders like John Bevere, who brought four decades of teaching experience to a recent conversation. But the strongest episodes are often just Angela and Arielle working through a topic together, bouncing off each other with the kind of energy you get from friends who genuinely enjoy spending time together. They have also published a companion devotional called Out of the Wilderness, a 31-day guide for walking with God through difficult seasons. The show does lean into ads -- some listeners have flagged that commercial breaks can feel frequent -- but the content between those breaks is substantive. Girls Gone Bible has found a space between casual faith chat and serious biblical teaching that resonates especially with women in their 20s and 30s. It feels like the kind of conversation you would have over coffee with friends who happen to take their faith seriously.
