"We look for confidence in our achievements, our appearance, our accomplishments," intoned the perfectly coiffed and made-up Angela Halili on a recent episode of the "Girls Gone Bible" podcast. But "godly confidence," she continued, "has nothing to do with your external circumstance." Her co-host, Arielle Reitsma, also in heavy makeup and with equally perfect hair, chimed in with an occasional "yeah" as Halili continued: "It's about finding confidence that's rooted in your identity in Jesus and trusting God that he has a purpose and plan for your life."
Fans of "Girls Gone Bible" swooned in the comments on YouTube over Halili and Reitsma's professions of Christian humility. But there's no denying that this explosively popular podcast has also produced worldly accomplishments for its hosts. "Girls Gone Bible" has only existed for two years, but it's been a huge success. Their YouTube channel has more than 730,000 subscribers and nearly a million Instagram followers. Their show sits at the top of Spotify's podcast charts in the Religion & Spirituality category.
