Ari (14:43)

Yeah, I went through the same thing of feeling so inadequate and not feeling like I can even come to faith because I didn't feel like I was worthy enough. And then, you know, you sit down and you think about. You think about your journey. And he loved us through all those moments when we were sitting in sin, where we were a mess, where we were broken, where we didn't know better. It's so funny when you look at our journey. He put us two together and then we're, like, learning and we're like, growing, and then he puts us in this, and then we start meeting people and like, we did this together. And if I didn't, if I didn't, like, I would have been acting the same way if I. If we didn't meet all those people, like, they, you know, you really do need people to help. You need. You need community. You need. Like you said, you can't be the holiest one in your group because how will you learn?

Angela (15:35)

Yeah, totally.

Ari (15:36)

All I know is we can sit in front of people and we can look in their eyes and be like, me too. And people we wouldn't not have reached the people. Like, he really does work everything out for our good.

Angela (15:51)

It is so interesting being on a sanctification journey in front of people. It's like, usually you do these things in hiddenness and in private and. You know what I mean?

Ari (16:03)

That's what it is.

Angela (16:05)

And so it's the most vulnerable thing I think you can go through. And while, you know, I think what's really interesting for me is, like, I never realized how much shame that I had. Like, I really didn't. But then I realized, like, you know how I always say I always feel like God's a little mad at me? Like, that's shame.

Ari (16:28)

Yeah, it's your own voice. That's what I feel.

Angela (16:30)

Yeah, it's shame. It's your own voice. And the past, like, weak. It is the most incredible thing. I don't have that voice when I. When I sit down to talk to Jesus. Like, literally. It's so weird. Something that should make me feel so powerless. Like, I'm not powerless in this. It's insane.

Ari (16:49)

Yeah.

Angela (16:49)

You know, and, like, I guess what I would encourage anybody listening is just understand, like, the ways of God. He's like. He's unbelievable. He's unbelievable.

Ari (17:04)

It's like those moments. It's. It's those. The moments where we're. Where we're the most broken and scared is when he's, like, right there.

Angela (17:13)

It's just, like, I have developed a trust in Jesus that transcends truly any human understanding because it transcends my own circumstance. Like, it's just, like, weird that the unthinkable happens. Like something that you don't want to happen, and then to be able to see the goodness of God in it and it not be a cliche. You know what I mean? Like, it's just the way that God does things oftentimes, like, when something looks bad, sometimes God allows bad things to happen to produce something good in you. Like, it's just so true. We just come on here to say, like, this is true. Raw transparency. Like, the. And Because I'm sure people have even been confused with just modesty stuff. And. And if you watch our episodes, you'd understand. If you know us, you understand it's been a journey. It has.

Ari (18:11)

Such a journey. And you. And the one thing I always say is you guys really have been, like, riders for us. Like, you guys have been on this with us. And the one thing we always talk about is how you guys have given us so much grace. I can't believe how much unmerited grace you've given us through this.

Angela (18:28)

Yeah, totally. And. And I'm just like, so. But there are people that are confused.

Ari (18:35)

And, like, of course.

Angela (18:36)

And I just want to be clear that it's been such a journey for us since the beginning. And, like, we have been really transparent. But it's also confusing, you know, for people who see old photos, photos of us from, you know, while we were making episodes and all that stuff. It's so confusing.

Ari (19:01)

It is confusing. He did it on purpose. He did. And I know that he did it all on purpose. He did it so we could all grow together. And I don't know. I just. There are times where I used to look back at the episodes, and I was like, why did I say that? But then I'm like, we wouldn't be Girl Scible if we didn't like this is the whole point where like, we're girls of the world and we relate to people and I'm proud of us. We used to be girls of the world and I just, I can't help but just feel so proud of you and proud of myself and I know Jesus is proud of us and all we can do is we know how we are now and I know it's so confusing, but I know how real we've been. We've been honest from the very beginning. Totally, you know. Okay, let's talk numbers. Traditional in person therapy can cost anywhere from a hundred dollars to $250 per session, which adds up fast, but with better help. Online therapy you can sa average up to 50% per session. With better help, you can pay a flat fee for weekly sessions, saving you big on costs and time. Therapy should feel accessible, not like a luxury. With online therapy, you get quality care at a price that makes sense and can help you with anything from anxiety to everyday stress. Your mental health is worth it and now it's within reach. You guys. Therapy has been a lifesaver for me from the very beginning. I have really shared my heart with you guys about it because there were things that I was harboring and trauma that I couldn't even go to my friends and family about. And getting matched with a licensed therapist who is a Christian has saved me and they just understand and I feel it's. It's taken a load off of my back and it's just been the most incredible thing to have that tool to just unpack and get it out. It's just saved me in so many ways. So I would just encourage you guys. Better help is so convenient. You don't have to go anywhere. You go right online, they match you with a therapist. It's just been a game changer for me.

Angela (25:22)

About trying to stuff your old self away or trying to stuff parts of yourself away. I think about, like, every scripture in the Bible that talks about how God is light. In him, there is no darkness at all. He, like, everything that's done in the dark, will come to light. He illuminates everything. If you ask God to come in your life, he doesn't tolerate hiddenness like you hiding things. He doesn't. Not that we've been hiding anything, but I just even like things that are innocent. Like, oh, I'm gonna change and be everything that God wants me to be so I never have to even think. And if I have to see a photo of myself from the past, I'll cringe. So this is for anyone who is in a situation where if God, you know, being exposed or feeling vulnerable. And it doesn't even have to be anything like this, like, dramatic like this. It could be anything. Like, even in relationships, like, being exposed, being vulnerable, telling the truth, being honest about who you are, where you've been, where you're like, it can be so incredibly hard. And like, even, like with John, for example. This is ridiculous. Even with John, for example, like, I've invited him into all of this. Obviously, if you're in a relationship, like, I believe in full transparency in a relationship. I really do. Because the truth is I'm like, I want you in this because I want to believe you when you tell me you love me, you know, because to be truly loved means to actually be seen. And you can't really believe someone when they say I love you if they don't know you.

Ari (26:57)

Yeah.

Angela (26:58)

You know, and so it's just like opened me up to a world of Jesus that I didn't even know existed. So, you know, this is for anyone who's hiding. This is for anyone who has shame. This is for anyone who's thought, you know, their old selves or parts of themselves can't be accepted. That's just not the love of God. It's not. It's not. And so I know that God is calling us all into complete self acceptance. Every part, every part of the journey. Like, and compassion for oneself and responsibility and accountability and clarity and transparency and compassion.

Ari (27:42)

Yeah. That's what Jesus is. Right? He's a perfect balance of truth and Grace.

Angela (27:46)

Yeah. 100%. It's all about self acceptance. It's about, like I was saying earlier, having compassion for yourself. And I think something that God has probably done for both of us, I know he's done it for me, is like, he's constantly taking me my. Taking me back into my own story and like, back into moments of just different experiences and different moments and. And taking me into shame and taking me into questions of like, but why, but how, but how do you end up here? And him showing me, like, step by step, like, this is why. This is why, like, you felt unsafe your entire life.

Ari (28:28)

Yeah.

Angela (28:28)

Powerless, without a male figure and nobody to guide you and tell you that you are protected. And then so you grow up in a way that's like, I have to protect myself. I have gain power in whatever way I can. And like, that's why so many girls I know present themselves as provocative or. You know what I mean? It's like, these things don't just happen.

Ari (28:53)

Yeah. And I love that you say that because it's so true. Some of us. And I. And I felt like that where I've been, like, why did I. Why couldn't I have known better back then? Why couldn't somebody told. Why couldn't somebody tell me how to be? Why did I. Like, why? Like, there have been so many times where I have asked those questions too. And I love that you say that because that's why we have to. There's just. I don't know. Since we've started this Christian walk, I've. We've seen A judgmental side that I have honestly has made me physically sick. Like, I have had moments where I was like, no wonder people don't want to come to Christianity. No wonder people turn away from religion, because some of these people are just. Just. It's. It's appalling The. The comments that we've seen. The thing like, people tearing each other down. It's. It's awful. And it's like, you don't know somebody's journey. You don't. You. Some people don't have the luxury of growing up in Christian homes where they've been told right or wrong, and you don't know why that person dresses the way they do. They're. Maybe they're broken. Maybe they don't know better. We didn't know better. We really didn't. And so some people are just so lost, and they're trying to figure it out. And everybody has their own journey with. With Jesus. And we did, too. And it was a long process, and it was a lot of unlearning and unshedding, but it took time. And, you know, everybody has a different path with Jesus. But as followers, we are to say, we love you. Everybody has their journey, and it's our job to still love them anyways. We need to love like Jesus loves. It's the truth. Everybody's journey looks so different.

Angela (30:35)

Yeah. 100. And again, God, the patient, patient father. He's so patient. And he calls you higher. And when he speaks, you listen. And when he moves and. And he does. And then he puts people in your life that show you that model what true righteousness and holiness and purity looks like. And. And it changes you. And you answer the call when he calls. And so it's both. It's like, yes, you absolutely live to a standard. Like, I'm gonna be fully honest. Like, the way that I live my life, it's like zero toleration of sin. It really is. And of course I fall, and then I get back up. There's repentance every day of my life, but it's like there is no. There's. While there's grace and there's no excuse. Like, it's both. But when I look back on a time where I truly did not know better, but I was learning to do better and over time. And people have to understand too. Like. Like when it. You mentioned it, like, you have to unlearn things and your brain gets rewired when you live a certain way. I'm. Like, I'm 27 years old. Like, I'm Living a certain way all these years, like, naturally it takes a second, you know what I mean? If I lived a certain way for so long, it doesn't just die right away.

Ari (31:47)

It doesn't.

Angela (31:48)

You, I mean, there's so many things that are wrapped up in it. Your value, your self worth, the way that you see yourself, the way that you see the world. And like, so I know for me it was very confusing when God started moving in my heart and being like, you have to get rid of these things. And I'm like, but who am I if not this? And it's just like, it's an incredibly intimate, vulnerable journey.

Ari (32:12)

It was so intimate for us in the beginning as well, especially when we had to be around like these Christians that have been walking in purity their whole life and that have been walking right. And, and that was so vulnerable and so hard for us. I mean, do you remember all the times we would look at each other and be like, like we would almost be in such shame and like cowering down and it was, that was really, that was probably one of the most difficult things I've ever been through was having to go into these Christian spaces where everybody's, you know, But I don't know, it's just for me, I just. And especially since we started tour, seeing these girls and them coming up and being like, I feel so far gone, like I am so stuck in sin. I like sin. I feel dirty, all these things. And to look into these girls eyes and be like, guess what? I was there too. Has been the greatest blessing. So although there is shame, it's like, I don't know, it's hard because we wouldn't be able to relate to all of these people. And so the IRS is the largest collection agency in the world.

I think feeling shame is. I think truly shame is the root of so many things that people go through. I believe that shame is the root of so much insecurity, so much. So much anxiety, so much distance between you and God. I know that. That voice. I'm so sorry. I'm so emotional. But, like, I. I couldn't believe how a few days ago I literally realized I don't. He. He. It's not like he's back here looking at me like this anymore. God has felt like to me for so long, and I'm always able to work past it because I know him and I know that's not him. And I realize it's shame if you feel like God is always mad at you. I believe that it's shame.

Ari (36:43)

Yeah, of course.

Angela (36:44)

If. If he. If you have this nagging feeling like he's, like, looking down on you, it's your own shame. And he's inviting you into your shame. And I just want to say to everybody, like, this is what I've learned within the past month of my life, that God cannot heal something, that you do not give him permission to. Radical honesty with Jesus, with other people, with yourself, putting on. Putting on a front, having pride. Like, Jesus can't reach that area. You have to invite him in. You have to invite him into the shame. You have to invite him into anything that you're trying to hide and push away and stuff away and keep hidden. Because, like, first of all, it's going to get exposed no matter what. That's one thing I know about him.

Ari (37:29)

It's so funny you say that, because when I look at my journey of the facade that I had always put up on social media and stuff like that, and I would just put up these pictures, you'd never think I struggled a day in my life. You would have thought I had it all. And I was, like, just suffering so much in my heart. I was, I mean, on the brink of suicide, just dying. Like. And so when I started to be so open, and that's when I started my friendship with you, and I just started to tell people and be like, I. I can't hide anymore. Like, this is what's going on. I am, I am, like, dying. I need help. Like, I feel so worthless. I feel so much shame. I just met Jesus, but I'm. I don't feel, like, adequate at all. And I need help. And when I started to be open and stop putting that facade up, that's when everything started changing in my life.

Angela (38:25)

Right. It's so beautiful. And you have to. You have to. Radical honesty and inviting him into the worst parts of you and the worst parts of your story. And it's just crazy.

Ari (38:39)

Yeah.

Angela (38:40)

And I just want to speak to anyone who has been in a position where you feel exposed or vulnerable. If people have used the past against you, if people have, you know, like, just done anything that's made you feel super vulnerable and exposed. The one thing that I've really learned about Jesus is that some sometimes, like in his kindness, in his goodness, he allows you to be exposed and vulnerable. And it can feel so mean. And like, you're supposed to cover me, you're supposed to protect me. But it's just like, he is so in it. Like, he is so in it. And he. He never exposes you just to leave you naked and exposed, ever. He always cover you. And I kept this as my background.

Ari (39:27)

Let me see.

Angela (39:28)

Ezekiel 16 verse 8. So I wrapped my cloak around you to cover your nakedness and declare my marriage vows. I made a covenant with you, says the sovereign Lord, and you became mine. And so that's for anybody in a position where you feel vulnerable or exposed. And it's just like Jesus really does have the final say. He really does. And you're so protected and he's so with you in it. And. And it's just time to stop hiding like it really is. I know somebody is watching this, and I feel it with you. It's just like there. You can't hide. You can't hide. God calls us into the light. Into the light. And that means everything. And that means everything. And what you don't address in relationships and friendships, in jobs and ministry, like you've got to, you have to address it. And if there's something, like, I just want you to know that in a moment that can feel so powerless, with Jesus, you can receive all your power back, you know, like addressing and, and facing. It's just like, that's what he does. He makes us face things. And yeah, I just encourage you just in your relationships and your friendships to be so radically honest with people. And if there is something that you feel shame about, that's one thing you need to attack. Like, if there's an area of your life, an experience of your life, just the one thing that's always in the back of your mind. Like, if anybody knew this about me, if my boyfriend knew this about me, if my girlfriend knew this about me, they wouldn't love me. You can't live with that. You've got to bring it to the light. And if somebody rejects you for it, the one thing that I will say, they have autonomy and the right to reject anything that doesn't work for them. That's the truth. Whatever, you know, whether it be a past thing or whatever it might be, but that's not your person. Anybody. But, like, you cannot sit here living a life of holding on to things that give you shame and then not revealing it to the people around you. Let it lose its power over you because it will.

Ari (41:39)

And recognize none of us are perfect. I mean, I think about the woman that went, the sinful woman that went into the house and she's washing his feet, just like loving on him. And he looks down and he's like, I love you. Like, your sins are forgiven. Like, that is who Jesus is. Like, none of us are perfect. We all fall short. We all mess up. The only Jesus was the most perfect person. And even he was persecuted and, and, and blamed and treated so poorly. And so, you know, I don't know. I just. Everything that Angela and I have been through, all our wrongs, all our shame, all our sin, everything, it's truly like, it's made us who we are. He just uses it all. I mean, I think it's so beautiful to come from a family of a household of Christians where you walk in purity. But I also think it's beautiful if you didn't come from a Christian household and you maybe not have walked that way. But he loves us all, and he's just so good. He's so gracious, and he's with you. He's after you. And he did that with us so much. He really did. He was. I think about all the times where we were just so lost, so broken together in our friendship, and he was just with us through it all, holding our hand and teaching us and growing us and brought the right people in our paths.

Angela (43:06)

Thank you, Jesus, for bringing the right people.

Ari (43:09)

And thank you, Jesus, for you guys that you have. I just have to say it again. I mean, we have the greatest family, which is you guys. And how could we have a family where we have messed up so many times? We've fallen short, we've said the wrong things, we probably haven't dressed right in some of the episodes, but you guys still love us and still are with us, and you still grow with us, and you have not judged us. And the love that we feel from you guys, that's why we're able to do this.

Angela (43:42)

The messages of encouragement that I've.

Ari (43:45)

We read them all, by the way.

Angela (43:47)

I am. You guys are actually. I have never felt more seen and loved in my entire life. And if you think for one second that you're just another message, like, I can tell you from personal experience that every message that I read I take so to heart, and it actually changes and, like, shifts something in my own heart. Not because it's like, praise, but because it feels like I'm actually being seen and loved by somebody and, like, really cared for. When you guys say that you're praying for us, my goodness, I can't tell you, you. How safe it makes us feel when you guys say you're praying for us. Like, you GGB is everything. Like, I am telling you, you guys are my world. You guys are both of our worlds. We love you so much. I don't know what I would do. Like, I'd be fine, obviously, but, like.

Ari (44:38)

I don't know what I would do.

Angela (44:39)

But I, I, I just, like, I don't know what I would do. This is the greatest gift that I've ever been given other than, than my relationship with Jesus is being with you guys and having a group of people, honestly, who do hold us accountable. It's like the greatest blessing because it's put the fear of God in me. I feel responsible for a family, for brothers and sisters, and, like, a group of people who mean the world to me, who I spend, like, literally all day and week praying for. And so it's just like, it's changed the course of my life. I wouldn't be who I am without you guys. It's, it's changed absolutely everything.

Ari (45:15)

Yeah, you guys are literally half the reason why we were able to stay in this thing. Just the messages and the outpouring love was like, wow, okay. I feel safe and I feel seen. And we can do this thing because we have you guys. Yeah, you guys have, you guys have literally healed my broken heart. Even, like, you really have. You guys are just, you guys are amazing. You guys are everything to us. Psalm 32. Oh, what Joyce. Oh, what joy for those whose disobedience is forgiven, whose sin is put out of sight. Yes. What joy for those whose record the Lord has cleared of guilt, whose lives are lived in complete honesty. When I refused to confess my sin, my body wasted away, and I groaned all day long, long day and night. Your hand of discipline was heavy on me. My strength evaporated like water in the summer heat. Finally, I confessed all my sins to you and stopped trying to hide my guilt. I said to myself, I will confess my rebellion to the Lord, and you forgave me. All my guilt is gone. That's who our Jesus is.

Angela (46:24)

There's just no hiding. You get into a relationship with Jesus and like, like, you better expect, you better expect for it all to come up, all to come out. And it is the kindness of God. And truly, one last thing that I'll say, anybody watching this, anybody under the sound of my voice that is in or has had a situation that looks like absolute disaster, or like, you are, like, how could this possibly happen? There's no way that God is in it. There's no way that he's protecting me. So often. That's how he works. So often. Like, if I've learned anything about God, it's that he truly disrupts your plans to get to you. He did. Like, the disruption of God is the greatest gift. It hurts, it's uncomfortable, it doesn't make sense half the time, but, yeah, and last thing I'll say, over five years sober, you can say whatever you want. Nobody is taking from me the very incredibly true, supernatural, miraculous story about how Jesus actually saved my life.

Ari (47:26)

And then can I just say that the Christian walk is. Can just be so messy. It's just because he's literally pruning everything. He's like, it's stripping. It's. It's so exposing. And you're like, but I don't want to talk about this. I don't want. So. It just feels so emotional at times, and it's messy and it's a lot, and there's just so much that goes into it. But it's just. It's the pruning, it's the. It's the sanctification process. And. And it can feel. So it's just a lot.

Angela (47:58)

It hurts.

Ari (47:59)

It hurts, it hurts.

Angela (48:00)

And you're going to wonder why is it always something? And it's.

Ari (48:04)

That's what it is.

Angela (48:05)

And there's so much joy. If you ask Jesus for joy, you'll have joy, but it is like, you don't want to walk around all dysfunctional and not feeling good and, you know, wreaking havoc in relationships and all those things. So it's better that Jesus does this for you so that you could be better for yourself and for other people in your life. It is good. It's really good.

Ari (48:26)

But it has. We have felt like that at times. And so I don't know if you guys are going through this season where you're just like, I just feel, like, such a lack of joy. Like, I feel like I'm always coming up short. I feel it's just he is exposing things and pruning you and sanctifying you, and it can sometimes feel really draining. Yeah.

Angela (48:49)

We love you guys so much. Thank you for being here. Here you can expect full, complete, total honesty and transparency. And above all else, just understand that congruency matters to us incredibly more than anything. And so if we say one thing, I promise you, we're living that way.

Ari (49:09)

Yeah.

Angela (49:10)

I promise you, if we say one thing, we are living that way. We love you guys so much. Thank you for being on this journey. Like, we say that every time, but we really mean it to today. Thank you for being on this journey with us. Thank you for providing this space that we can come and cry and be honest and. Yeah, we love you.

Ari (49:31)

We do.

Angela (49:33)

May the Lord bless you and keep you. May he make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you. May he turn his face towards you and give you peace. We love you so much.

When the Moore family dished cable Internet and switched to Sidly Fiber, they got so much more. Mr. Moore got more upload speed for next level gaming and livestreaming to the masses with reliable service. Mrs. Moore is no longer her family's IT guru, leaving her more time to stream games into overtime. Let's go. And young Mason Moore got more done quickly uploading HD product demos and video conferencing without freezing the numbers look good.

Angela (50:06)

Brad, you're on mute.

Hi, I'm Chris Gethard and I'm very excited to tell you about Beautiful Anonymous, a podcast where I talk to random people online.

Ari (50:19)

The phone.

Angela (50:20)

I tweet out a phone number. Thousands of people try to call. Talk to one of them. They stay anonymous. I can't hang up. That's all the rules. I never know what's going to happen. We get serious ones. I've talked with meth dealers on their way to prison. I've talked to people who survived mass shootings. Crazy funny ones. I talked to a guy with a goose laugh. Somebody who dresses up as a pirate on the weekends. I never know what's going to happen. It's a great show. Subscribe today. Beautiful Anonymous.
