Connecting faith with all things fandom
It’s been a week and a day since 2026 began, and we’re almost done picking apart Philippians 4:8, one word at a time. Today’s word is “praiseworthy,” which in a couple of different passages translates to “to the praise of His glory” or “to the glory and praise of God.” The point is that everything …
On the seventh day of 2026, we proclaim the excellencies of Philippians 4:8 for the seventh time this year ; ) There are only two verses that use the exact word translated as “excellence” in Philippians 4:8, each from one of the apostle Peter’s letters. 1 Peter 2:9 is so beautiful, and I will likely …
Today is day sixth day of 2026, and the sixth day of admiring all that Philippians 4:8 has to offer us. Today’s word is Commendable, which other translations render as Admirable. It has the idea of being above reproach, viewed as a generally decent person by those around you. Like the word “honorable” from a …
It’s the fifth day of 2026, and the fifth day of devouring the loveliness of Philippians 4:8 ! Today’s word is “lovely,” which translates also to “acceptable, pleasing.” My ESV Study Bible’s notes on today’s verse say that although Christians are completely justified from the moment of initial salvation, we do things that either please …
Today is day four of 2026, and day four of peeling back the layers of Philippians 4:8, one word at a time. Today’s word is “pure,” which refers to a lack of sinfulness or sinful desires. Following the example of Jesus, believers aim to “purify themselves as He is pure” (1 John 3:3), growing more …
Today is day three of 2026, and day three of mining Philippians 4:8 for all the goodness it has to offer us : ) Today’s word is “just,” which in some translations is translated as “right,” as in “righteous.” I was actually reflecting on Romans 3:26 during Advent last month, and it uses the same …
Today is day two of the new year and day two of breaking apart and meditating on Philippians 4:8, one word at a time! Today’s word is Honorable, which may also be translated as “noble,” depending on your translation of choice. The main idea I got from this word, and the key verse I focused …
In 2025, I celebrated five years of connecting fandoms of all shapes and sizes with the God I know and the Word I love. One of the verses that has inspired me the most in this ministry/passion project/hobby is Philippians 4:8: Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, …
Hi, friends and fellow Bible nerds! I don’t know about you, but this time of year gives me the urge to buy all the cute stationery and notebooks and just take all the notes. Even though I’m not a student right now, the love of learning is something that will never go away for me. …
Happy Wednesday, friends, and welcome to another Word Nerd post! I’ve spent this summer working through several Bible journaling kits, including the “Currency of Grace” kit from BytheWell4God. It’s been so good! One of the things that stuck out to me this week is the phrase “ministry of reconciliation” from 2 Corinthians 5, and I …
Happy Wednesday, my friends, and welcome to another Word Nerd post! My mind was absolutely blown by this on. It’s so good! Will likely make you think about a famous Bible passage in a completely new way. Hope you enjoy!
Happy Wednesday and happy Fourth of July to you, my friends! I was looking into “Bible verses for fourth of July” and topics like freedom, justice, and inclusion. I believe that the Lord put the phrase “Liberty and justice for all” from the American pledge of allegiance on my heart. I’m so excited to share …
happy Wednesday, friends, and welcome to another Word Nerd post! This is the day where I like to fangirl over specific passages of Scripture that I’ve studied and that have spoken to me recently. I love the fandoms, but the word should always be first. This week I’ve been studying the book of 1 Kings, …
Hello, my friends, and welcome to a very exciting update! Today I’m officially announcing the release of the new and improved Fangirl: Fulfilled devotional journal. I’ll share the process and the heart behind this new version, and where you can order one for yourself. Hope you enjoy!
Happy Wednesday, friends, and welcome to another geeking-out-over-Scripture post! Looking at our identity as the Bride of Christ has had me thinking and meditating on the love of God. His love for us is deeper and more thorough than we can ever imagine, and I love to think about it so much! Let’s look at …
Happy Wednesday, my friends, and welcome to another geeking-out-over-Scripture session! Today I’m breaking down the passage in 2 Corinthians 5 that defines us as “ambassadors for Christ.” Where else is the word used in Scripture? What do the key words of this passage mean from the original languages? Let’s find out!
Happy Wednesday, my friends, and welcome to another geek-out-over-Scripture session! This week I want to explore what it means to be a true Seeker of the Lord who has a deep hunger and thirst for righteousness. We’ll start in the Beatitudes in Matthew chapter 5, but who knows where the Word will take us? Let’s …
Greetings, fellow Word nerds, and welcome to another Wednesday post! This month we’ve been exploring four different facets of our identity in Christ, starting with that of a Child who asks and receives exactly what they need from the Father in trust and unconditional love. Today I’d like to dive deep with you into one …
Hello, faithful friends! It’s time for a Word study round-up! If you don’t know what a word study is, allow me to explain. Because the Bible was written in different languages (Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek), modern readers like us can benefit from studying it in its original language as well as our own. This usually …
Honesty will always be my policy here, so here’s an honest moment: when I opened my Bible tonight, I didn’t expect to spend hours studying and journaling. I started out with watercolor pencils in my read-the-Bible-for-the-simple-joy-of-reading-the-Bible Bible (Message Canvas Bible). YouTube was playing in the background, but not anything super “spiritual”, just a plan with …
