Guys, this episode is brought to you by NoCD. Have you ever had a really stressful, unwanted thought pop up during worship? Maybe it made you feel like you needed to start your prayer over because it wasn't right or perfect. Maybe it filled you with shame or caused crushing guilt because it felt like it offended God. You guys, a lot of people have thoughts like these, including Ari and I. And trust us. We know how scary and isolating they can be to struggle with. They can even lead to compulsive behavior, like constantly asking for reassurance,

punishing yourself for having bad thoughts or worst. worrying about participating in religious practices like praying incorrectly. But here's what changed everything for us. Learning that these thoughts aren't character flaws or signs of weak faith. They might be symptoms of religious OCD, also known as scrupulosity. OCD is really misunderstood. So a lot of people are surprised to learn that it can focus on religion. But it's true.

OCD can latch on to anything you deeply care about, including your faith. And when it does, it can be devastating. But there's hope. Because with the right kind of therapy, OCD is highly treatable. And that's where NoCD comes in. With NoCD, you can do virtual therapy designed specifically for OCD. Our licensed therapists deeply understand OCD as well as your faith in how important it is in your life. They'll help you work through these thoughts using exposure and response prevention or ERP,

a type of specialized therapy that's the most proven treatment for OCD. NoCD also accepts many major insurance plans, including United Healthcare, Aetna, SIGNA, and more, and provides always on support between your therapy sessions. If any of this sounds familiar, you are not only. alone and no CD can help. Visit nocd.com to schedule a free 15 minute call and learn more. That's NOCD.com to learn more and book a free call. You had the best content this Christmas when you went home. Hi guys, I'm Ange. I'm Ari. I'm, you know what? Are you? 2026, I'm changing my name. I'm going back to my full name. Really? Everybody knows me as Ari. What do you think?

Ariel is a beautiful name, but it's just like Ari. I don't know. know, you're just so arre, because you're so like petite too. So it's like a little name. Let's try it. Hi, I'm Ariel and I'm Angela. And this is Girls Gone Bible. We're a faith-based podcast where we talk all things, spirituality, mental health, the Bible. Guys, praise the lamb that was slain. We're back. We're back. We're back. We're back. We miss you guys so much. That was a two-week hiatus. We've never done that before. I feel like I haven't been here in years. I know. I don't even know what to, I don't even know what to say. I don't know. how to podcast. I have no idea. We needed that, though. I, like, forced myself to stay in the house and just sleep and chill. Me too. I didn't leave the house. Well, you were in Boston. Yeah.

And I was in Florida. And there's nothing like being, I was going to say middle-aged women. We are not middle-aged women. I don't know. We are full-blown adults. And when we go home to our families. We become children and we wear pajamas the whole time. And my mom brings me anything that I need. I throw wrappers on the floor because I know she's going to clean them. Like I literally don't lift a finger because my mom's just about it. You go home and what's it like? The same thing. Yeah. I'm my I turn over to a little girl. My dad is my, um, maid. I don't be too. It's like ridiculous. Yeah, I revert back to a little girl. My dad looked to me, goes, if anyone could ever see the real you, huh?

If all those GGV listeners could see this version of you. My mom always says that to me because, okay, I'm going to confess something. Sometimes I say swear words in Albanian because I think your mom taught me one, but I forget. Thanks, Christina. You can't do that, mom. She talks to me in Albanian. My mom will literally talk to Ari and Albanian. Shusha. Like she understands.

And I feel like you do half the time, though, you respond as if you understand. It's like a vibe. Yeah. Yeah. So what does she do? Oh, so she teaches me bad words. Or not teaches me. I know sometimes I say bad words in Albanian because to me they're not bad words.

Like it's Albanian. It's like what I heard. It's not like saying the F word. Like whatever. And so my mom will always be like, oh, GGB. I'm going to tell everyone what you just said. I don't know. I have to check with Jesus.

I'm allowed to say bad words Albanian. Oh, you have to see. You have to see my father. Dad, it is out of a movie. Five in the morning, he gets up. He shuffles his feet. He wax up the devil dogs. You hear him in his sleep.

He eats in his sleep. You know the devil dogs? Like hot dogs? No. Corn dogs? No, they're like chocolate things. Oh. And then he gets up.

He makes his Folgers coffee. You know what he does? He blasts no new friends. little Wayne every morning. He is? No new friend. No new friend. No, no, no, no, no. My dad. I'm like, Dad, shut out. And he loves black and yellow, black and yellow, but what does that song even mean? We don't want to know. Your dad is a G. Can you tell him the story about when I was driving? He's like a kid. When I drove your dad's car and he was so. She was flying with my grandmother

in the car. She's like, would you? What did he do? He was like, would you just slow down? freaking kids flying. I don't know how to drive normally. You guys know that. Oh, gosh. Wait, you had a good time? I did. It was really relaxing.

I needed that. We needed that. My nana's everything to me. You made the best TikToks with Nan. Oh, she was a hoot. My dad, my grandmother are so funny. We all are like in the same house and it's just the funniest thing ever. You guys could become one of those TikTok families, like the famous TikTok families.

No, it was really good, though. I'm really enjoying my family these days. Like, I'm really... Praise God. I really love being with my dad and my nan, and... Nans are the best. I wish I... I was just going to say, I felt bad as I said that because your...

No, don't feel bad. Your Nian died. My nana Daya. Nana Doya died. That's my mom's mom. She passed almost 10 years ago now. She lived to 96. She was the greatest woman on the...

the planet. She was really, me and my mom were just talking about her. She was like the most intelligent woman but didn't go to school, but was like so street smart. She was amazing. But I love your nan and I love your dad. And I wish I was in Boston right now. I know. I really want to start spending more time back at home. You should. I, yeah. I mean, it's not good right now because it's so cold, but I really love the East Coast. Even Florida is cold. It's weird. Do you feel like this? I feel so like awake in other places. In L.A.? No, when I'm like in Boston or when I go to Florida or like other parts of the country, I feel so awake. But when I come back to L.A., it's like I'm tired here. I feel that a thousand percent. What is that? I think it's just so oppressive here. Like I think spiritually, I'm telling you, whenever I drive to Orange County or like anywhere else in California, every time I get out of L.A. County, I'm just. I'm not kidding. I feel something lift.

It's weird. It's a lot here. The moment I landed, I just feel this like heaviness. That's crazy. I know. I don't like it. And the taxes. Oh, the taxes.

What are we going to do? We're just girls. You want us to pay taxes? Like, it's ridiculous. Should we move to Florida? To the armpit? Florida is where dreams go to die. And I will.

I was just in Florida with my family and I kept posting Instagram stories and then I had to stop because I was like I'm greasy, I'm disgusting I hate... We do look a little ugly over in Florida. A little ugly. There's something about being in Florida.

I don't know what it is but you're not cute in Florida. Other people, I'm not cute in Florida. And so... Oh, I'm not cute. I look like... We're going to a wedding in two weeks. Maybe Miami's different. You think?

You don't look as bad as in Miami? Yeah, maybe. But you can't wear it. We wear a lot of powder. We need to wear less powder on our faces. That's one of our New Year's resolutions is we're going to stop kicking it on. We have to tell you guys something. So most girls do like beautiful, clean, like, do we make up. Ari and I for no reason. We just cake. We kick on the powder. And we're not going to get all the comments. Yeah, guys. Stop wearing. So, okay, we get it. We see all your comments. Just lay off. Lay off. Yeah. Oh, you know, and another year's resolution.

Guess what I did every day when I was home? I went to the gym. Every single day. You're looking good. You're looking tight. You're looking good. Show us the body. Show's the body.

This is my dad. GGB Plus, it is a time where we get to be intimate. It's not like the podcast.

You know what these days? What? I'm just a little. I got to get to the gym. But there's something different about going to the gym. Yes. Getting on the treadmill. Yes.

Yes. Yes. I'm going to get on that treadmill and I'm going to run as fast as I can. So Ari and I want to have an episode today talking about like New Year's resolutions, what we want to do differently this year, what we didn't like. about last year. And yeah. Can you start it though? Yeah. Okay. I want to tell you guys the first thing that I want to change about 2026 versus 2025. I want to start fasting again. Oh my gosh. Me too. Yes. No like every week. Yes. Every week. One day a week. Yes. Me too. One day a week.

Wednesdays? Oh no. I don't know why I like Fridays. Okay. Yeah. I like Friday. whatever you want. Oh, that was another thing. By the way, guys, I literally have bronchitis and the flu. I don't know how. You get... I got a fever on the way here. I have a fever right now.

I don't know how I do it. This is why I have to walk off stage. You get really sick a lot. I haven't gotten sick in a while, but yes, there was a period that I was getting sick a lot. But it's the kids. It's because I was with my nephew. Oh, that's what it is.

It's the kids. Whenever you're around kids, you're guaranteed to get sick. It's worth it. Well, at least you, at least you, at least, You act good because you know how I act when I'm sick. Yeah. Well, I was down bad a few days ago. It's really bad, right?

The way I act. Well, every time you get sick, you act like it's the first time you've ever been sick. And you're like, there's tumors growing out of my neck. Oh my gosh. I have a sore throat. Like, great. It's over for me. It's gone.

And I like make you plan my funeral and stop. Literally. Well, you're going to wear. I go through your hair. Is that normal though? No. Yeah. Did I go through that?

Oh, that you... No, no, that I like want to... I plan, like, the outfit and everything. It's probably not... Listen, it's you. So, of course it's normal. But you do know that I want to wear a beautiful dress. Beautiful dress floral?

Probably just like white, but with like... Okay. Yeah. Is your wedding? And you know to dice in the bangs. Dice in the bangs. And the costume... A good lip jewelry.

She can't let go of it. I wear costume jewelry. I like big... Goddy earrings. Gaudy. I've never heard the gaudy? Yeah, like gaudy, like big. I love them.

Yeah, I sure. I love them. We're talking about New Year's resolutions. First one, fasting. I am such a writer for fasting for fasting from food. Like, there are all sorts of fasts you can do. You can fast from social media. You can fast from whatever X, Y, and Z.

But true biblical fasting is abstaining from food. and or drink. And so for me, I want to implement fasting back into my life one day a week and then a two-day fast every month because it is so good for you. We have an episode on fasting. I think I stopped fasting regularly because I was trying to fix my relationship with food. And so I spent a while not fasting because I just needed, I just needed to get that situated before I could like put my body into starvation and I feel ready. I feel so recovered. I'm thinking about when you and I, when I first found Jesus and you and I would fast in your house. How did we do it?

And we would wait for the clock to turn 5 p.m. 5 p.m. And we would have the bananas. We would have the, the, uh, LeCrois ready. And as soon as the clock Okay, oh, it was so, I missed that. Me too. I really missed that. Those were the days. I miss the old days. The beginning. I, I'm in such a good place in my relationship with food.

I can't even believe it. I have so much freedom. 2025 was like literally my year of food freedom. I don't, I just don't struggle, like at all. You know what? What? You don't struggle. I don't struggle.

Oh my gosh. Wait, we have to talk about. about that because we were just in Arizona. Yeah. I, we were just like so, I wasn't even really thinking about it. Yeah. You don't struggle with food at all. I don't struggle.

I'll eat whatever. I still have like a really. This episode is brought to you by IQ Bar, our exclusive snack, hydration, and coffee sponsor.

I just like attacked it. I was just. What did you do? Because that's actually supernatural what happened. I started with, um, I mean, I've been going, it's a journey. You know what I mean?

And if you come into agreement, that's why things, I got super naturally delivered from alcohol. I wasn't super naturally delivered from like disordered eating. Yeah, it took a while. Yeah, it was just a journey that I went on with Jesus where I came into agreement with the fact that I actually do want to change this. I do want to have freedom because for a long time I didn't want freedom because having an eating disorder was good for me physically. It kept me thin. It kept me whatever. And so when I finally decided like I just like decided this is what I want.

and then giving Jesus the invitation allowed him to work in me. And I think a lot of us don't receive breakthrough because we don't actually want what we're asking for, kind of. Yeah, yeah. And then I've talked about it on here before, but when I started counting, tracking how much protein I was having and trying to hit a protein goal every single day, that like did a number on my brain. Like it completely reversed old patterns of wanting to eat less because I was actually having to eat more. And so I wasn't focusing on like how can I have as little food as possible today. I would be like three o'clock. Oh my gosh.

I have to eat freaking three more meals before the end of the day or else. So just like in my brain reversing that like neuro pathway that said eat less to eat more, it was. Did you do therapy with that? No. Not at all. No. I just prayed a lot. And I really cared and I really wanted to get free from it.

And I thought about my daughter in the future. And I knew I knew it was something I needed to take care of. And I even thought about like getting pregnant and how there's so much. So. And also you kind of like get to the point in the age where you're like have, I'm like, it's like past the time for this. Like I'm still struggling with any. And that's not to throw judgment on that. It's just like I got to a point where I was like, all right, it's almost like juvenile at this point.

I'm like, I don't need to struggle with this anymore. I can go have a freaking chicken wing every night, not every night, but like I'm with friends like a few nights a week and I'll like have a salad. I'll have the things that I like, my proteins and everything, and then I'll eat one little piece of pizza. And then you don't dwell. And then I don't dwell. And then I don't overeat.

And then I don't feel the need to binge. And then I don't feel it's just like it's so supernatural. And the only thing I can say is agreement, prayer, that one little practice that I did and More practice. Of like counting my protein. Oh, yeah. And that was it. And now I'm like, I have so much food freedom.

It is insane. That's nice. Praise God. I know. I noticed that. Yeah. And I can still get a little like about my body at times of like, oh, man, like, I want to go to the gym. I want to be more fit.

But not in a way. Like, it doesn't control me. at all. I don't really, I just don't care. And it's also so helpful, like, dressing modestly, too, and being like, I don't need anybody to, like, see, like, nobody needs to think I have a nice body. You know what I mean? So I don't, I don't need to. I wish I could say the same. What? I'm not thinking like that. I wish I was. So, I mean, sometimes, of course, it's not all the time. I'm like, how's my gross look?

It's bad. How does my curves look? Yeah. I'm trying to really. I'm trying to lose a little way right now, too, if I'm being honest. So yeah, anyway, so yeah, fasting for me. And you want to start fasting too. I want to start fasting.

Yeah, we're going to start fasting. Every week. But you know what I really saw something when I fasted when we did the no water, no food? Yeah, an absolute fast. That was like. Some people still drink coffee during a fast and I don't even feel like, I don't know, it's just not the same for me. It's not the same. I want my body to be in full just like I have nothing that I want.

It's really hard for me to fast. I know. It's probably like. Remember the night when you ended up with gold fish and crackers on the bathroom floor? I fainted. I was like, oh no. It's because I had such an addiction of coffee. Yeah.

That was that was horrible. That was horrible. Fasting for me is like it's brutal. Like I actually hate fasting.

I used to love it and now I have to kill my flesh because I don't want to fast like at all ever. But you know what it is? It's like you got to, I notice it's at the gym. Like the first day I went back, I hated it. Like I hated beyond on the treadmill. It was like brutal. And then as I kept going every day and kept training, I like, I like, I started to like love it and I felt good and it's the same thing with like fasting and self-discipline and control. Exactly. And then you just gain like an affinity for it. Like you actually start to enjoy it. One thing for me is like I want to the scripture that I'm taking in this year is life and death or in the power of the tons. And I just don't.

I want to constantly speak life. Like I'm done like I've been noticing even when I. pray for girls. And they, like, share with me, like, I'm just struggling so much in my mind with, like, depression and anxiety. And where I would say last year, I was like, it's okay. I've noticed myself as I pray. I'm like, you are not depressed. Like, you do not surrender to depression. Like, you walk out of here with your head up. Like, you are, like, you are called. You are chosen. Like, you are not a depressed person. And, like, I just, this next year, I just, I do not want to speak death over myself. Yes, I love that art. Like even like sickness. Yeah.

And I, because I see it so much and I'm like, it's crazy. Like, you really are what you say. Like if you say you're sick, if you say you're depressed, like you really will sit in that depression. Yeah. And a lot of it is just in our heads. Like we need to like come out of that agreement. Yeah. We need to speak life. Even with our, even with people in my life, like I want to speak life over people. I want to, I don't know. I just, I don't want to, I want to really be positive with every single thing that comes out of my mouth. I love that. In the season of my life. I'm in agreement with you on that. I'm joining with you. I'm going to say only amazing things all the time. And it's not even like we have to be like falsely positive. Yeah. It's just like,

I don't know. It's just so many of us were like, I get so. attacked in my mind. I'm so depressed. I have anxiety. I don't feel good. It's like, no, stop. Come out of that. Come out of that agreement and start speaking life. Like, no, I'm like, get up. Yeah. Get up. I love that. And don't surrender to that and speak life and pray and be fed by the word of God. I just, that's, I really want to start learning and memorizing a lot of scripture. I wrote that down too. You did? Yeah. And that's going to be a big way of speaking life. Yes. Like, I'm not depressed. And then you can, you, you, you, you, you, you, memorize scripture. You know what we should do? We should do like a GGB community thing on our

stories where we all memorize the same scripture like every week or every whatever. That's such a good idea. Yeah. Another thing, yeah, another thing for all of us to take in. But forget all that. It is nothing compared to what I'm going to do for I am about to do something new. I just pray that we can all look forward and not keep looking back at the past because I just, he's doing something new. I feel this year is going to be so amazing for all of us. He's really doing something so new and so good. And I believe he's called us all into ministry, whether it's at our work, at our job, starting Bible studies. I really believe that God has called us to stand in the gap and intercede for his people. And just really, like, this is a year that we're going to be standing in the

gap, like really in the dirt with the people, really behind the scenes with the people. And even if you're afraid, just do it, do it anyways. There's been so many times this past year, especially for me personally, where I was so afraid to step out and just that obedience of continuing to step out even when I was scared and still doing it anyways has been so rewarding. And it's made me so much more confident. I can't believe, like, how much I'm rapidly changing with my continuous yes. Yeah.

Even when I'm like, I don't want to do it, but still stepping out in that faith. You grow so much. You grow so much. When you're scared and you do it anyways, you grow so much when you don't want to do something and you do it anyways because you know your call to it. But so many of us, we just sit and we're like, we procrastinate and we're like, oh, maybe next year, but like God say, no, do it now. Like, I know you're scared, but step out in faith and do it. Yeah. And you will be, like, astonished by the person that you are with your continuous yes.

I think that I really want to do this year is nighttime worship. Oh, I love that. Like, I want to worship and spend time with Jesus before I go to bed and just, I don't know, just like close the day like that. Like, my favorite thing to do at night, and I don't always do it because sometimes I sit and I watch TV or I'm with friends or I'm on the phone or I'm whatever. But I want to, my favorite nights are when I light an incense and I light a candle and I put worship on the TV and it's just like dark outside and you see the stars outside out the window. And I just worship. And it's just the most. There's something about worshiping at night all alone that's so special.

Yeah. So I really want to start doing that. I want you guys to do that with us. Like spend nights just worshiping before bed instead of watching TV instead of doing all these other things. And it's like a challenge, you know, for all. all of us because you want to just do the thing that kind of numbs you out. But I just think it's so, God meets me so beautifully at night. It's funny you say that because when I was in Boston, you know how you, you're home so you get a chance to really relax your nervous system. And I had so much time

where I could just do that. I did that every night. I lit my incense. That's so cute. And I was so spiritually fed. I can't believe how spiritually dead you are when you are just numbing out on your phone, on TikTok, in the TV, how different you feel than when you spend that time at night and just worship or pray or talk, it's just that consecrated time to him. All right, guys, raise your hand if you've been putting off a dental cleaning, an annual checkup, or honestly like any doctor's appointment. Yeah, my hand's up too. I have to go to the dentist.

Because when something feels off, I usually doomscroll my symptoms, convince myself that it's either nothing or the worst case scenario. I'll spiral quietly, vent to Ari, and maybe try a TikTok wellness trend. Load up on vitamins and say, it's probably fine. Does that sound familiar? All right. Well, this year, guys, 2026, we're doing things differently. We're finding doctors that we actually like and we're going to book the appointment. That's where Zoc Doc comes in.

Thanks to Zocdoc for sponsoring this message. It's insane the difference. I also wrote that too. Screen time. That's, yeah, that's what I'm... I can't tell you this is like such a battle that I'm still trying to break. Yeah, yeah. It's so hard. It's so hard.

Whenever I delete social media off my phone completely, I thrive. It's amazing. I've never done it. But the second it's back on my phone, it's a struggle. Every single, every single time, it's so easy to fall into it. It's so easy to just like find yourself scrolling and scrolling and opening up insert. So for me, it's like my only option is just to delete the app completely, you know. Will you do that?

I do it sometimes. But I haven't done like, I did 30 days. Remember when I did 30 days? thrived. That was amazing. I missed that. And since then, I'll, I'll turn, I'll get rid of it at times, but I haven't done like a fast. But when it's on my phone, it's so hard to, I know. I would so do a social media fast with you. How long? I can't watch my, my funny videos on TikTok. Yeah, I can't watch my women that jump me on the diving board. I got to get that app that gets me off. Yeah.

Please. I had that though and you can like bypass it. Oh, I know. I saw you. I saw you. I would literally just bypass it constantly. I just have to delete off my... Let's do a week.

Okay. You want to do a week together? Yeah. Okay. Let's start next week. Should we all do it together? Yeah. Let's all do a phone fast together.

Are you guys down? I really... So for me, lots of therapy is I'm really for the first time in my life committing to therapy with I have like an amazing therapist that I trust deeply and who like it feels like we do like groundbreaking work in you know every session and I've never been consistent with therapy. I've always thought I can like out like logic my therapist I just have never I've never had a respect for therapy until now and so therapy's amazing yeah 2026. is my year of therapy. We are breaking patterns, getting truly to the bottom of everything.

And yeah, I'm really excited to do therapy and like really be consistent and actually get to, yeah, the heart of things as opposed to like spiritual work and spiritual discipline is so important. And I also think Jesus loves therapy. And it's so necessary for us to really get to the bottom of things and why we are the way we are and why we allow the things we allow and why we find ourselves in certain situations. It is imperative that you get to the root of all those things. And so I'm really excited to, I like text my therapist like twice a week. I'm like, oh, by the way, I found like three more things that are wrong with me. So he like writes them all down because I'm like, these are all things that I want to fix. Well, because we have so many patterns since we were kids.

Totally. That you don't know why you do the things you do. do, why you feel the way you do. Yeah. And so to go back with a good therapist that can go back to when you were a kid and like work out those patterns with you. Yeah. There's nothing like therapy. Yeah.

I love. I love therapy. And just crying to someone that that's not your friend. Yeah. That you, that's just like unbiased. Yeah. There's nothing like that. That can actually help you.

Not that friends don't help, but. Yeah. Who give like real professional advice. I think we give real professional advice, but. Yeah. I want to be a woman of my word. I want to mean what I say and say what I mean. Love.

I really want to like, when I say I'm going to do something, I want to do it. Like I don't want to be flaky. I want to just really say what I mean. Like when I'm when I'm saying something like I don't want to, I don't know. I just want to be intentional. Yeah. I love that. Yeah.

Yeah. Oh. Because you and I can oftentimes fall into a little bit of a people-pleasy thing where, and I think we've both gotten so much better with it, but we don't want to say no to anyone ever and we want to like make people happy. So we'll say yes to something in the moment and then be like, oh, I actually can't do that or I can't show up for that. And it's from a good place. Like you want to make people happy. with Grand Canyon University is an affordable private Christian university in beautiful Phoenix, Arizona, offering over 360 academic programs, informed by industry and student learning outcomes.

I don't really know how to have boundaries. I always said boundaries are so stupid. Yeah. But I think as I'm really becoming a woman, I need some boundaries. Yeah. I need to protect my heart. I need to guard my heart more. I need to stop.

I just, I don't know. I've just always been like, oh, yeah, I just let everyone in. Just whatever. Yeah. And I'm just like, no. Like, not everyone can come in. I love that. Wow.

Yeah, really just setting some boundaries. It's hard when you have like a, I feel bad a lot. And I'm just like, no, like I have to grow up. Yeah. Like stop feeling bad. Put your foot down. Yeah. Because Jesus wasn't like that.

Yeah. Jesus didn't people please. No. He didn't. Something else that I really want to do, and I know this is one of yours too, are I really want to start replying to texts quicker. I take a really long time to reply to text or I never reply because I don't know. It's some sort of anxiety, procrastinating, avoidance. Like, sometimes I get anxious when people text me. Yeah. And then I let it go. It's people you're not

comfortable with. Yeah, like not everybody. Not that I'm not, yeah. Your close friends are not like that. But it's like acquaintances. Yeah. And I'm just like, oh, I don't have the capacity or the energy to give them like a long phone call or a long whatever. So I'm like, let me just wait till I do have the capacity. And I just think that's so wrong. Rather than giving, like calling someone being like, hey, I only have 15 minutes to talk, but I want to give you like all of me for 15 minutes. I will be like, oh my gosh, I'm not going to answer that text because then they're going to call me and I don't have an hour. I want to give them an hour. But then I end up never talking to them. person. Yeah, you're pretty bad. I am. You're pretty bad at texting, but I'm pretty bad at you're good at when you actually do text. I sound like one word answers. You think I bad at texting? Yeah. Wait, you or just in general? No, just like in general. Other people? Right? Who says that? Oh, gosh. For the love of God. Is someone mad at me for not texting? We talk about this. You have like 550 unread text messages. Let me check how many. I have 1,421 unread text messages.

And I have 600 emails. Like I've got a, when things like pile up like that, then I start to be like, oh, this is too much. You know, it's just like such a procrastinating thing. But yeah, I want to be better about replying and then telling people, hey, I only have 20 minutes, but let's get on the phone and let's chat and let's have a good time rather than being like, I need to give this person in allotted two hours. So it's just like is a weird thing that I have in my head that like,

if someone calls me and I only have five minutes to talk, I won't answer the phone. Well, that's like boundaries. You got to just be like, listen, I get a go. Yeah, see, I don't know how to get off the phone. Yeah, because you're people pleasing. Yes. I don't know how to get off the phone when I get on the phone with some I don't. You panic because you want a people please. But you just have to say, I got to go. And you send you, what kind of text do you send? I don't, I, I text like I'm the worst taxer. just like a guy. And then everyone thinks I'm mad at them.

But I just, I'm, I'm the worst texter. I hate it. I rather just talk on the phone. I know. You know? Oh, and then the voice notes, forget it. Do you hate voices? Hi.

So I, I, oh, that sounded stupid. Hi. Hi, it's me. Oh my God, I sound so fake. That's me. That's me every time. And then I'll, like, listen back to my whole voice memo. I'm like, it's a podcast.

I sound like a friggin, Boston. And I always think, like, there's. There's no way that, like, and like, you know, when someone listens to a voice memo, they don't even listen to it anyways. We all read the voice memos. Let's be completely honest. None of us listen to voice memos anymore. We read them. Unless it's from, like, a guy.

I, oh, that's another thing I want. That's another thing this year. No, I'm just, I'm stepping out. You're going on dates? No. What am I going to do when you go on dates? No, no. I mean, yeah, I hope so.

But yeah, of course I'm going to go on a date this year. But I need, like, I'm getting out of the house. That's good. We're going to have a little bit of fun. Yeah.

Guys, there's this honey mustard glazed chicken breast and sweet potato mash in Tovalla, and we are not exaggerating, but it tastes like something that you would have spent way too much money ordering out.

Can we just like... I'd like to have some fun. We've had our heads down. We've been about our father's business.

We've been about our father's business for a good minute. But we're going to like get a hobby and do something. We have a little time off. We're going to start. Yeah. I don't know. What do you kids do? What do you guys do for fun?

What do you get our head down in the dirt with the people for a long time? What do we do? What do you guys do for fun? Let us know. Let us know in the comments. Any cool hobbies? Yeah, please help us. We need help.

Another thing I want to do is just rest. and rest and rest and rest and sleep and take care of my body and be nice to my body and go to the gym, like you said, but just really, really lean into rest this whole year. Nobody knows how to lay down like I do, though. You're so good. I lay you down. I know how to. I could do it professionally. And I don't know how to lay down.

Me and Courtney talk about this all the time. My friend Courtney from back home and we look at each other and we're like, would you call this depression? Or we could lay down all day for days. It's my favorite thing to do. Just be on the phone and lay. I love laying with you. It's the best. There's nothing like laying.

You are a professional layer. I love it. I heard that you need physical. You need a hug. You need hugs. You need to be hugged. Yeah. You need to be hugged.

I said, well, no wonder why I was frigging on by a string. No one was hugging me except for you. Yeah, but they were good hugs. They were really good hugs. They were really good hugs. Okay, good. I wake up, this kid's on my, I'm like, would you scoot over? This is, okay, this is my head and this is her.

She'll be like then, like a dog. Guys, I'm the most physical touch person I've ever met in my life. I love cuddling. I love physical touch. It's so funny. What else? Go ahead. Nothing.

I just, I want to come out of, I just, I want us all. to come out of this self-doubt. Yes. No more self-doubt. No more speaking badly about ourselves. No more saying I can't do it. No more saying I'm sick. I have too much of a pass.

Let's come out of that. Yeah. I love that. Rebuke it in Jesus name. Let's all come out of that. The minute you start to hear those negative words, you start speaking that, catch it. Catch it right in the moment.

I don't know. I don't speak that. And you start, replace it with the word of God. God. I am obsessed with that. I did that a couple times, remember? When? And you said, you were so proud of me. I don't remember. I went to go, sometimes, like, I have a little bit of a whiny, like, hi, I don't know. I'm just exhausted. Like, that's, like, how I can be sometimes unintentionally. Of course. And my friend caught me doing that. I think this was, like, a couple weeks ago. And she goes, I was like, I don't know. I don't know if I want to go. And she's like, would you stop?

And I was like, I got like embarrassed for a second. She's like, no, seriously, stop talking like that. She's like, come out of that. She's like, it's a joy that you get to go do this. Wow. And I, it was like the best thing that she could have ever said in that moment. And I was like, wait a minute, you're right. I am kind of being negative and I am being whiny and I am kind of speaking death over myself right now.

It is a joy that I get to go do this. And so I just loved that. I was like, and so now I'm like catching myself when I start to whine or speak negative about something so beautiful that I'm doing. I love that so much. And also like it makes you more tired. It makes you so, it's heavy. It's heavy. Yeah.

So now when I replace that and I'm like, oh my gosh, I get to go do this today. This is going to be good today. What a beautiful day. Like you feel more alive. you feel more awake. Wow. You're more, you have so much more joy than being like depleted and down. I'm telling you, the way you speak is everything.

It's everything. I love that there is such an emphasis on that today. Yeah. How you speak is everything. I feel it's so heavy. Yeah. Because it's so important. And I'm going to, everything you're saying today is.

I've been thinking a lot about how much our sleep affects everything. You guys, our skin, our mood, our overall sense of well-being. And yet, winding down at night can be surprisingly hard. My body's tired, but my mind is just going and going. And that's why Osea's dream collection has become such an important part of my nighttime routine.

And, like, we're being reminded of, like, the simple things that we do in the beginning of being a Christian that I feel like we forget. Like, what you speak over yourself is truly everything. And sometimes, like, you go through seasons where you really do have to mourn.

And you do have to feel. And you do have to feel that sadness. But then when we're in it too long, it's like, I feel like the enemy has an opening. to just attack, attack, attack. So we have to, like, get into fight phone and be like, no, I come out of this. And, like, be surrounded by friends and just have people speak life over you, have people pray over you. Like, just refuse to sit in it.

I love that. I've just been, I saw a lot of it when I was in Massachusetts. Yeah, I'm sure. And it was funny after I was done praying for them being like, oh, really? You think you're like that? No, you're not. I go, look at you. Yeah.

And then you would see them go like this. And like they would look different and their eyes were brighter and their head was up. And I was like exactly. And they go, wow, I feel so much better. Like, I feel good. You're right. Isn't it so crazy? If you just speak over somebody and say, hey, you look really happy to like, you look joyful.

Like you speak life to someone. They'll be like, okay, maybe that's true. I remember when I was struggling really bad with like anxiety and de-realization and depersonalization. And I would ask people like, do I seem weird? Like, do I seem off? Because I felt off and I felt weird and I felt anxious and it's super in my head. And I'd be like, do I seem okay? And people would be like, you literally seem completely normal.

And it would instantly make me be like, okay, I'm normal. So it's, it's, yeah, when someone speaks into and being like, dude, you're fine. You're doing great. Like, you're amazing. It changes things. It's the same too when like somebody respects you and like they look at you and they're like they actually like I don't know. I feel like sometimes you can feel timid around people. My grandmother was saying that she was like I just she's like I've always been so timid.

She's like I don't really know a lot of that stuff. And I was like, man, look, I was like, do you understand how intelligent you are? Ten minutes later you see her like speaking like complete like just like speaking about politics and all these things around the world. was like had her head up and I was like, we have to constantly be speaking life into each other because it changes. You're more confident, the way you speak, everything. It's, think about the people you're around. Like, you have to be around people that are speaking life into you. It changes everything. That's why you have to pick your partners wisely. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You have such a gift of encouragement.

Freaking Miss America. Are you kidding me? I said you're, one time Ari was like, I don't know, upset about something. And I I was like, you're America's sweetheart. Are you literally kidding me right now? That is so iconic. That was so iconic. You want to talk about getting somebody out of a depression. So something that I feel like occurred in 2025 for me was just like breaking off performance in ministry.

And just in general of like wanting to be something or someone. Like, not that I don't want to be like excellent in what I do or like, like, you know, excel and and do good things and do good work and whatever. But there was like when we started in Girls Gone Bible, I definitely had this thing of like wanting to be good, wanting to be a good podcaster. And over time, right, that starts to like go away 2025 over summer when we had a break on tour. I spent every single day with Jesus being like, I didn't even know exactly what he was doing in me. like all the time that I spent in the secret place. It was like one of the most transformative times. And I didn't even know what was happening.

Like I was just spending time with him every day. And when I got to the end of the summer, and I wasn't even trying to do this, but I had developed such a deep, deep, deep, deep, intimate, genuine relationship. All right, guys, everyone's talking about their New Year's resolutions, but here's one that could actually impact your family for decades to come. Your kids' health. As an aunt, this is something that I think about,

lot. My niece and my nephews are the first generation growing up on ultra-processed foods and the long-term effects. We're only just beginning to understand them. So while everyone else is promising to hit the gym in 2026, we should focus on something that actually sticks. Better nutrition for the kids we love most. And that's why we love Haya at GGB. Haya is created to give families a better option than the candy-like vitamins most kids' brands push. Some children's vitamins out here have a surprising and shocking amount of sugar and artificial stuff in them. Haya does the opposite. zero sugar, zero gummy junk, just clean, thoughtfully made nutrition, and somehow kids actually love them, the taste, the routine, even decorating the reusable bottle with the stickers that come

in the first order. It turns into something fun instead of a fight. What also really matters to me is that Haya is made with clean ingredients, non-GMO, vegan, allergy-friendly, and they test everything for quality and purity, which gives us real peace of mind. So here's something that every parent, aunt, uncle, or caregiver needs to hear. If getting kids to eat vegetables, feels important, possible. Haya's new kids' daily greens and superfoods is a total game changer. It's basically chocolate milk but packed with veggies. Just mix one scoop with milk or a non-dairy drink and they actually enjoy it while secretly getting the nutrients their bodies need. You guys, my niece is obsessed with all things Haya. And I have to admit, I also tried the vitamins and they actually

taste so good and the kids love decorating the bottle with the stickers that come in the first order. We've worked out a special deal with Haya for their best-selling children's vitamin. Receive 50% off your first order. To claim this deal, you have to to go to hiahealth.com slash ggb. This deal is not available on their regular website. Go to h-I-Y-A-H-E-A-L-T-H dot com slash g-gb and get your kids the full-body nourishment they need to grow into healthy adults. I was like my lived experience. Like I was no longer like a Christian like telling people about the things that I've learned. I'm a Christian showing people the life that I'm living.

Yeah. And it just broke off. Yeah. all performance, not all, maybe not all, but it broke off so much performance. And I was able to go on stage and come on the podcast in a way that was just like, I felt myself showing up as just, I am Angela who has a relationship with Jesus. Yeah. I don't need to be anybody.

This is, this is what I've learned because I've lived it. Yeah. And so that's what started to happen in 2025. And I see this is going into 2026, this is probably. my year of like any bit of performance or wanting to be somebody or wanting to be something is gone. Like I just want to show up as the ver as the Angela who lives life with Jesus and she doesn't need to be anything. She doesn't need to be special. I don't need to say anything profound.

I am who I am and I'm going to show up as that. And like that's literally, I just, I feel such a freedom that. no matter where I go, I have such history with God that I don't need to put on in that, you know. I'm really proud of you. I love you. You're going to be, yeah, it's unbelievable. I love you so much. That's what the secret place does, huh?

Yeah. Yeah. I remember you telling me that you felt so different this time on tour. Oh my gosh. I was so just like, it's inside, it's here. It's already inside of me. I don't have to try to. Yeah.

I just don't want to have to, and that's different from like working hard. I'm a hard worker. I love working hard. I love learning. I love memorizing. I love like crafting beautiful messages. And like I love excellence. Like I love doing things well.

And I'm also just like I have literally nothing to prove anybody anymore, you know? I was going to say, I feel that way with, um, especially with praying for for me. I used to, I used to be so scared to pray. And you're so good at praying. And now it's my favorite thing to do. Because you're the best. Could care less about stages, nothing, just to be with the people and pray. And I remember I would always look at you and be like, how does she do that?

Because you would just completely let the spirit just take over. And I never understood it. And now, like, you just have to step out in boldness. Yeah. I hear so many people be like, I can't pray. Like, what am I going to? I, how am I going to, but the more you step out and the more you just say, leave me, Jesus, let me like, it's just crazy the way he transforms you.

Yeah. And you keep stepping out in that boldness. Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Yeah. I was going to say, so I got off of a flight recently and I was listening to music. And I started thinking about my dad. And I have somewhat of an interesting relationship with my dad.

I love him so much and he's not the most hasn't been the most present in my life. And it's been a pretty painful relationship for me. And my dad comes from, you know, a Muslim, his mom was Catholic, his dad was Muslim. They didn't practice anything. He didn't practice Islam. But he was like technically Muslim. He converted to Catholicism to marry my mom. since I've been saved.

I have led my dad to Jesus at least once a year, just in case. He comes to GGB shows and doesn't know what's going on, but raises his hands and then says the salvation prayer at the end. And I just got off this flight and I realized, like, if I lost my dad tomorrow, I wouldn't know where he is. Like I wouldn't, I don't know if he would be with Jesus. And I started thinking to myself, like, am I, how would I live with myself? Like truly, how would I live with myself? If I, if I dedicated my life to bringing thousands and millions of people to Jesus, but I couldn't even take the time to sit on the phone with my dad and tell him who Jesus really is.

And that's like really vulnerable for me to do. It's hard. It's painful. It's like, but I just, I decided that like, I want this year to be the year where like I sit with my dad and I like try. And like I really, I call him and I say, hey, dad, can I, every time I ever call my dad to, every time I ever call my dad to talk about Jesus, I'll be like, hey, can I read you the Bible for a second? And he's like, yeah, of course, you know. And he's like, it's just hard when the relationship. relationship is strained. And I think a lot of us, it's so easy to have hope for other people. It's so hard to have hope when it's so close to you. It's so hard to have hope for a relationship, like someone in a relationship that you've been heard in and that you've known your whole life. And you're like, it's a lost cause. But this new person, I have hope for this person because I don't have that long history with them. So I want 2026 to be the year that I have hope for what. it seems hopeless. And, yeah, call my dad and, like, really teach him about Jesus and be like, you know, like, imagine if Bobby gets, you know, imagine if he gets it one day. And I want him to get him. Imagine when you baptize him.

I know. You're going to baptize your dad. Yeah. 2026, you're going to baptize Bubba. Right? Yes. I love you. That's beautiful.

Yeah. I love that. That's what I wrote down. I wanted to be. Yeah. Another 2026 thing really quickly. Walk in the power and authority and anointing of Jesus Christ wherever you are. Lay hands and pray for the sick.

Guys, I want us to become obnoxious when we're out in public. You see someone on crutches. You see someone in a wheelchair. You see someone that's blind. Step out in faith. Ask Jesus every day of your life to. release gifts over your life to release the gift of healing, release the gift of evangelism, release prophetic gifting over you. So you go outside on mission every day of your life.

That is what 2026 is about. We are going to pray for the sick, cast out demons. We're going to get weird with it, and we are going to walk in the authority and power granted to us by Jesus. We're going to have deliverance ministries. You're going to lay hands. You're going to pray on wounds. Yes. I'm not even kidding. Like, sit. Yes. Sit with Jesus and say, give me a picture of what this person's going through. You're going to help people that can't get pregnant. You're going to be getting mess.

I'm telling you, I said that earlier. I see it. We are going to stand in the gap. We're going to see healings, miracle, signs, and wonders. That brings me to a scripture. We need to be going to bat in prayer. Even as I was listening to you talk about your father, like the amount of hours I spent praying for my father, praying for my family. Like the miracles I have seen through my prayers, the miracles I've seen in my own life through my

Anni-Babra's prayers to me. Like it's like insane. Like pray, pray, pray, pray, pray, pray, pray. James 5 verse 14, is anyone among you sick, let them call the elders of the church and pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord? And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well. the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. Therefore, confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and affected. You have no idea how powerful your prayers are. He hears every single prayer. None of it goes to waste. So just pray for your family, pray for your friends, pray for yourself, sit in prayer, have consecrated time. Every single day. Every single day. day, every single night, all through your day, we should be praying. All through the day,

we should be praying. Pray, pray, pray, pray, pray, pray. Pray, pray, pray. Be about our father's business. Be about your father's business. All 2026. We love you guys so much. We love you. We love you. We love you. Thank you for being with us for another year. Happy freaking new year. It's 2026. It's going to be such a beautiful year. And we are all going to grow so much closer to Jesus. This is our year, you guys. This is Jesus' year. May all the earth know the name of Jesus. We love you guys so much.
