Acerca de esta escucha

The creators of the wildly popular Girls Gone Bible podcast walk alongside you in your hardest seasons, with daily encouragement to reconnect with God and his Word to bolster your faith.

“Each page is a personal invitation to explore the promised land of God’s living, breathing Word.”—Lisa Bevere, New York Times bestselling author, speaker, co-founder of Messenger International

When you find yourself in a wilderness season, it can feel as if God has abandoned you. Angela Halili and Arielle Reitsma, creators and hosts of the Girls Gone Bible podcast, learned through their own struggles that the hardest parts of your journey might just be where you draw closest to God—and where you discover your greatest sense of purpose and joy.

In this encouraging devotional, Ang and Ari share stories from their spiritual journeys, enriched by Scripture, biblical insights, and guided prayers. With the same authenticity that makes Girls Gone Bible so popular, Out of the Wilderness explores

• what it means to find our identities in Christ

• why surrendering to God brings our greatest sense of security

• how to let go of the mistakes made in the past

• ways God uses wilderness seasons to draw us closer to him

• how to find God’s comfort in loneliness and loss

Out of the Wilderness contains thirty-one devotions for all the moments you seek God but feel like he doesn’t hear you. Join Ang and Ari in finding the peace, hope, and connection that only a relationship with God can bring.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Where do you want your life to be a month from now? Change is costly. At first it might seem easier to linger behind in the wasteland of sin and shame. Yet there is another way forward, one that will require courage. Angela and Arielle have written Out of the Wilderness as just such a guide forward. Each page is a personal invitation to explore the promised land of God’s living, breathing Word.”—Lisa Bevere, New York Times bestselling author, speaker, co-founder of Messenger International

“Angela and Ari have written such a real, raw, and touching devotional that will grip the heart of any young woman.

THE BOOK

Over the past two years, Arielle Reitsma and Angela Halili have brought a wide range of attention to their popular faith-based podcast Girls Gone Bible. Whether people have scoffed at the conspicuously familiar title or raised an eyebrow at the seemingly overnight rise in their notoriety, there is no denying the impact they’re having on the Christian social scene. Seasoned believers can fall prey to skeptically dismissing them as a passing phase for entry-level believers or even pigeonholing them as merely models for a curated brand. However, making their rounds among the handful of today’s Christian influencers as well as reaching out to everyday faith followers on their nationwide tour of live shows has proven to make plenty of believers in the message of their ministry. Expanding that message of mental healing and building community more and more into different avenues, Girls Gone Bible has become a movement. The next huge step in their movement is this new book “Out of the Wilderness: 31 Devotions to Walk with God Through Your Hardest Seasons”.


THE FORMAT

In today’s culture, it seems every Christian with a platform wants to be part of your ever-growing shelf of platitudes. Most books on faith have plenty of excellent testimonies and clever references to scripture but tend to reinforce the same ideas. With their book, Arielle and Angela aim not just to be consumed in a good read just to end up thrown next to the others much like bricks that make up your wall of Faith. They’ve designed their book to be a part of your daily life always at an arm’s length on your desk at work or ready to grab right out of your bag at lunch or on a break.

In their first turns as authors, Arielle and Angela have suitably chosen the format of daily devotionals as it seamlessly translates their familiar messages from their podcast into consumable chapters that can be read and re-read throughout the day. Whereas their full episodes chew on subjects at longer lengths, their devotionals have been concentrated into bite-sized messages. Most of the chapters cut to the core so clearly and concisely that they can be looked over multiple times to keep it fresh in your mind throughout the day. Each daily devotional starts by introducing the subject matter alongside selected scriptures followed by a testimonial alternating chapters between the two of them. Each chapter is sweetly wrapped with a short prayer of thankfulness acknowledging the presence and working of Jesus Christ in the preceding message. Finally, every prayer ends with an invitation of empowerment handing the message over to the reader/listener with the simple words: Your Turn.

As with most devotionals, the reader doesn’t always feel obligated to read the chapters in sequence if their eagerness rushes them to skip to a subject that catches their eye. One of its strongest benefits is that it lends itself to picking up wherever you want and reading in whatever manner you’d like. You can do 15 days straight of Arielle’s testimonies then 15 days of Angela’s or vice versa. Much like the Bible itself, the book makes for endless reading experiences according to what the reader feels in their spirit.


THE VOICE

Honed in their podcast and live shows, Arielle and Angela have developed a beautifully natural conversational rhythm that not only reads well in written word but especially when following along in the audio book. While they appear to have written and recorded their respective parts separately, they flawlessly hand off the messages with each lady trading duties of introducing a chapter before the other expounds on the topic with her testimony. Although a lot of listeners could mistake their voice patterns and tones for one another, it becomes distinctly apparent in each of their storytelling styles. Particularly for the audiobook version, one might say that their backgrounds in acting could be mistaken as performative but instead, their experience is rather used to punctuate the sincerity of their stories. Every quiver in their voice, the quickening and cadence to recall and build up the tension, every pause to process their prose are genuine skills they incorporate to bring out their message in a much more poignant, more genuine way that’s unique to their skill set. Much of their recollections are led with vulnerability daring to give voice to things they perhaps wished to remain secret until they’ve overcome them. You’ll be able to tell that a lot of the stories are rather recent and some are even trials they are still battling - with wins and losses still fresh in their souls.


THE MESSAGE

Though the messages in Christian books are universal truths taken straight from Holy Scripture, reading them can often seem like going through the motions of obliging the redundant and regurgitated. That’s just part of picking up a book in this genre. As relative newcomers in leading in the faith, Arielle and Angela both feel no compulsion to overuse cliches and Christian-ese language that some readers may subconsciously tune out. You’ll quickly take to their natural speaking styles that neither come off as unrealistically optimistic nor impractically judgmental - always aware of speaking in their own flaws. The quick and concise format also leaves no room to expound in hyperbole and the need to sound too profound. The women cut right to practicality so that by the end of the chapter, you can start practicing with the references to scripture.

Over the 31 days, you’d think some of the subjects would inevitably get repetitive or irrelevant but surprisingly they are sprinkled with plenty of variety with no throwaways. Even subjects you think may not relate to have compelling enough stories where it builds a well-rounded view of the authors and may remind you of someone close to you. More importantly, each end of the chapter is more revelatory to the presence of Jesus Christ in the message and in the women’s lives. Each topic leaves you asking yourself, “Where was Jesus in this chapter? How was He working? Where is Jesus working this story in MY life?” You’ll feel like you’re holding a puzzle piece anxiously waiting to see where it fits with everything else.

Along the way, you’ll feel Arielle reclaiming her joy and wonder of feeling like a little girl only because she felt the tear of her heart losing her dog and seeing the downfall of her hero of a father. You’ll excitedly search with Angela in all her ecstatically addictive ways to fill her spirit in her rush to push out the heavy, obsessive thoughts and practices. You may have heard tidbits of their struggles in roundabout ways on the podcast but these chapters magnify the pain highlighting the triumphs and sorrows, the light and shadows, the pressure and pain. Not to mention, they drop absolute gems of lines such as remembering to always “have someone to pray for you when you’re too broken to pray for yourself.”


THE CONNECTION

Perhaps the most striking aspect of Girls Gone Bible has been the unbreakable parasocial aspect between them and their followership whom they affectionately refer to as their “best friends”. The relatively meteoric rise in notoriety has pushed the two women into avenues that they quickly had to figure out. Part of figuring it out has been the grace and interpersonal relations they share with their supporters. With a huge fanbase of young girls, this very well could be the first time any of them have ever went out of their way to pick up and read a book of their own choice. All because they want to continue the story they started when they clicked on their first Girls Gone Bible video - whether it was an Instagram / Tik Tok reel or a YouTube short or episode. Whereas their fame and followership on social media can put them in danger of being idolized, this book sufficiently grounds them. They’ve earned my deepest respect by sharing some of the most vulnerable stories. Vulnerability can sometimes feel like a shortcut when you’re trying to build connection but when it’s used in all sincerity, it can create a bond that’s not easily broken. Writing their first book, you’d think two authors fresh out of the gate would make themselves look better perhaps taking it safe and saving the good stuff for later books when they are much more seasoned writers. Not these girls. The self-proclaimed amateurs are more than willing to bleed out and trust that their readers feel every bit of it. Part of bleeding out their hearts also involves sharing every close person that holds a place in it. So many of the people closest to them get their proper shine - from the obscure bus driver that sparked Arielle’s curiosity for compassion to Angela’s mentor Socrates who lit the flame in her marathon for ministry. Stories that may not even have a direct message of Christianity bring richness to how Jesus would use it to develop the two’s hearts. Whether it was Arielle’s dog leaving his proverbial paw prints guiding her on her walk to motherhood or Angela learning sacrifice by giving up a talent for acting she’s held her whole life, God reveals that He was connected to them the whole time. And now, all they wish to do now is extend that connection to as many people as they can.


THE THROUGHLINE

I started this review by stating the undeniable impact they’re both having on the Christian community. From running across their flood of reels on social media, perking up at seeing them lead a prayer at a Presidential rally, or just being casually mentioned by random churchgoers, no one Christian knows exactly what to make of them. Personally, the Christian writing this review finds himself in that same situation. In a good way. They’ve surprised me in ways I haven’t quite seen in all the years that I’ve been a Christ follower. I’ve learned maybe I’m not meant to know what to make of them because Jesus is still making and re-making them as He is all of us. But for the purposes of this review, I’ve tried to figure out what to make of this book. I’ll start with the truncated version of the title “Out of the Wilderness”. By the end of the book, I didn’t initially feel that the narrative reached a point where they were out of the wilderness. Many of the subjects they discuss are still on-going active battles. However, I didn’t deem that a bad thing at all. While trying to find a common denominator, I felt that the bouncing from subject to subject seemed a bit like wandering. Wandering was the throughline I found. Wandering goes hand in hand with wilderness. And much like a map-maker, you have to wander in order to get a lay of the land. Each of the testimonies paint this land of Christian Wilderness full of the fog, darkness and uncertainty with stories of past hurt, doubt, anxiety, OCD, disappointment and disillusionment while shining a light on a roadmap out of it. Each lesson paves a stone towards an exit out of the wilderness. A lamp at your feet to leave for others that find themselves wandering in those same steps. And by leaving a light on in the darkness, they hope to make the wilderness feel a little bit smaller, a little less darker and a little less lonely.

But as with all stories, the real throughline is the arcs of the characters. In this case, the characters are our authors Arielle and Angela. It’s a story of how two lost people somehow helped each other find their way. A story of how two minds with troubled thoughts gave each other back their gifts of joy. And how two broken hearts reached in and healed the other. The HOW is the through line. The HOW was, is and always will be Jesus Christ. The HOW is the story they share with Jesus and by the end, they show you how your story is part of Jesus’s story as well.


THE FINAL WORD

Throughout the listening of the audiobook, I found it as a culmination of the past two years of my curiosity to see where else Jesus would take their story. I’ve seen them take genuine interests in different directions. Some more successful than others. If there is any lesson I feel Jesus has taught me following their journey is that He’ll find you in unexpected ways. Moreover, He’ll help you find yourself in unpexpected ways. As a seasoned Christian male, I’m not the target audience as I’ve historically gravitated more towards the perspectives of a Mike Winger and Allen Parr as well as my local pastor. However, the refreshing female perspectives of Arielle and Angela has placed a reinvigorating new Iayer on my faith as I’m sure it has a lot of other believers - both male and female alike. They’ve more than earned my deepest respect. So much so that Jesus has turned that respect into visions that I’ve already seen them start to walk out. I see their story and all the ways they get their story out being an origin for many young women for generations to come. Their teachable spirits make them perfect gateways for introducing people into the faith. I see young women being introduced to them in small groups at their local churches and creating centers in cities where women grow not only through the instruction of sermons but through the communing in conversations. All in all, it’s been a pleasure to be able to see these two women bottle up every bit of the spirit God has given them and document as much as they can for the world to witness. This book has taken all of what they’ve done so far and proudly crafted it into a jewel to be celebrated and embedded in their crown of achievements and “like the jewels of a crown they shall shine on His land.” ( -Zechariah 9:16 )
