Greetings, friends, and welcome to another fandoms post! Wrapping up this little study series on the attributes of God and the Trinity is God the Holy Spirit.

Hello, my friends, and welcome to another Gospel According To post, where I find all the connections between Gospel truths and so-called “secular” stories and songs.

Hello, friends, and happy November!

Hello, friends, and welcome back to another fandom journal post! This week I’ve been thinking about one of the prevalent themes in Disney’s Encanto, which I believe ties into the Biblical theme of grace vs. works. Enjoy!

Welcome back to the Gospel According to, where we connect fandoms of every variety with Bible verses and truth.

Greetings, fellow humans, and welcome to the beginning of a new series (or maybe just a single post) called Fangirl – English dictionary.
