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, …
Happy Halloween, friends, and welcome to the first Gospel According To post I’ve done in a very long while! Suffice it to say, I have had a lot going on in the last few months, but it sure is good to be back. I’ve been thinking about the idea of “spooky season” and how the …
Happy March, and welcome to the second in a new series of bullet journal inspiration posts. This year we’ve been blessed with ANOTHER new Hunger Games book, and since that series is by FAR my favorite, I was inspired to do a whole year of bullet journal themes inspired by the 12 Districts of Panem. …
Happy Friday, my friends, and welcome to the first of a very exciting new series of posts! This is the first of the Panem et Princesses one-shot writing projects. Someday maybe they’ll become full-length short stories, but for now, they basically turned out as single-scene glorified headcanon. That being said, they were super fun to …
Hi guys, and welcome to another new series of posts! I bought a T-shirt a few months ago with nine different Disney princesses on it. The shirt says “God says I am…” at the top, and each princess has an affirmation/encouraging word along with a verse that’s supposed to go with it. So of course, …

Today is the day!! Technically the day after The Day, but still, a big, big, big day! The new Hunger Games book, Sunrise on the Reaping, released yesterday, and while I had some issues come up that prevented me from receiving my copy day-of, I got to spend most of today reading. Thank you, God, …

Happy Pi Day, friends, and welcome to a new series of blog posts! I found this super cool devotional several years ago called Finding God in the Hunger Games, and I’m finally working through it. I’ll be sharing what I learn from each of the thirty-day devotional readings, and applying what I learn using my …
