Two God fearing influencers are taking social media by storm with their explosive beauty and their love for the Lord.
Best friends Arielle Reitsma, 33, and Angela Halili, 27, have racked up millions of views online since they launched their Christian podcast. The girls are gone from the bible In May.
The glamorous couple, both Hollywood models and actresses, are fast becoming the church’s answer to Call Her Daddy with weekly sermons covering everything from their love for Jesus and their favorite smoothies to sobriety and idol worship.
In a recent episode, the beauties of the Bible opened up about the power of prayer, their addiction to the Sweetgreen salad chain, and their experience of tearing up rewatching Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ multiple times.
In another episode, they stressed the importance of modesty while showing off their abs in chic tops and donning crucifix earrings.

The glamorous couple, both models and actresses, are becoming the church’s answer to Call Her Daddy with their weekly episodes covering everything from Jesus to their favorite milkshakes.
They discussed how they are unfairly criticized and judged for their appearance, and how women who post thirst traps are sometimes nicer than conservative Christians.
“I can wear the exact same outfit as an extremely skinny girl with no curves and just because of my body type I’ll look promiscuous and she won’t,” Angela said.
Arielle chimed in: “I know some girls who take pictures in their crop tops and bikinis but they have more compassion in their hearts and more empathy and they would never write the things that some of these Christians are writing.”
The couple have been attacked by other believers for their provocative approach to preaching, and evangelicals often leave cruel comments on their Instagram accounts.
Some trolls have even gone so far as to accuse the genetically blessed duo of being Jezebels due to their sexy photos on social media.
Arielle (left) and Angela (right)’s bawdy comments on social media have surprised some evangelicals, who believe they are too provocative to represent the Christian faith.
“Witchcraft counterfeits seductive and immodest Christianity,” one troll raged under a photo of Arielle in a plunging floral dress with a thigh-high slit.
‘What happened to modest clothing? Causing men to sin and covet,’ another was enraged.
‘Angela, as a brother in Christ, I urge you to consider the type of posts you are putting out. Many of these posts do not truly honor our Lord in the way He desires,” another concerned follower wrote.
Other critics have accused the actresses of using religion to build their star power and social media following.
‘Worldly gratification for eternity in the well. You sold your soul in the worst possible way, for what, 100,000 likes? You won’t be forgiven for mocking the Holy Spirit,’ one follower cursed beneath a jaw-dropping video of Angela seductively tousling her ombre locks.
Another wrote: “The fact that you ignore all the comments and keep the video shows that you have no real love for the church and most likely have issues with narcissism.”

‘What happened to modest clothing? Causing men to sin and lust,” one critic wrote on Instagram.
In fact, Angela and Arielle aren’t shy when it comes to showing off their God-given beauty on social media.
Between posts about Jesus and promo clips for their podcast, the couple also flaunts their all-American good looks in low-cut dresses and crop tops.
On a recent episode of Girls Gone Bible, Angela said that she was “trying to change” her social media presence and had started removing certain posts from her grid in order to switch to a more modest image.
“It’s okay to look good as a Christian,” Arielle insisted.
“But as I became more of a woman, I actually felt more beautiful being more covered up,” she added, explaining that she had begun to attract more “godly people” since trying to become more chaste.

Angela left little to the imagination as she posed in a sheer top, bra and skimpy jean shorts.
Years before her Christian reinvention, Arielle worked as a model and even graced the pages of racy men’s magazines like FHM and Maxim.
To this day, there are still raunchy images of the blonde squeezing out her curves in lingerie and skimpy swimsuits plastered all over the internet.
She also has an IMDB page that would rock most roller saints, including the role of ‘slutty girl’ in 2012’s Rock of Ages and ‘gypsy woman’ in the devilish thriller American Satan.
Not to be outdone, Angela has her own acting career.
She appeared in American Horror Story and the Hulu stripper drama Welcome to Chippendales, and perhaps most sacrilegious of all, she played a scantily clad nun in Marilyn Manson’s We Know Where You F**king Live music video. .

Despite its checkered past and modern approach to Christianity, many Girls Gone Bible fans insist the podcast has helped them grow closer to Jesus.
‘I’m so proud of you two for sharing a part of your journey to find your footing with God! It is so inspiring and beautiful to recognize that perfection is not what is expected,” commented one listener.
“I’m not a Christian, but I like to listen to their stories and read the scriptures, which is strange because I’m far from God,” added another.
‘You girls are so uplifting and encouraging. I love seeing beautiful and relevant women from Los Angeles using their talents for the Lord,” another exclaimed.
‘Christianity has no “look”… don’t listen to the detractors. Thank you for using your platform for good and pushing difficult comments.’
Angela (pictured) recently said that God had put her and Arielle in Hollywood so they could spread His word in a place where it was needed most.
Stunners are often accessorized with elegant Christian jewelry, including crucifix earrings.
On a recent episode of Girls Gone Bible, Angela addressed criticism that they weren’t in a position to follow Jesus due to their acting careers in Hollywood.
“I totally disagree with that because God put me here for a reason. We are on a mission,” he said.
“We’re on a mission and there’s not a single day that we’re in this city (Los Angeles) or in this industry where we’re not aware of our purpose here.”
She continued: ‘I believe that God himself has given us gifts to carry out the mission and the task… I am aware of why I am here and it is to bring light into the darkness.
‘Why wouldn’t I be in a place where Jesus is incredibly unaccepted to change that? And why wouldn’t we go to the place where the media is the one being pushed? Why wouldn’t we go there and try to be the center of attention to bring people to Jesus?’
