Sleeping at Last – Mother

Merry Christmas, friends, and welcome to another installment of The Gospel According To at The Fangirl Fulfilled. Today I wanted to talk about another absolutely exquisite song from one of my favorite chill-and-thoughtful artists, Sleeping At Last. Many of their songs feel like worship/Gospel to me, even though the singer-songwriter hasn’t expressed any belief that I can tell. It’s actually amazing how much Sleeping At Last’s song “Mother” sounds like a faith-based, super poetic song to me. And it’s the perfect song for the Christmas season. Hope you enjoy!

Fandom: “Love bigger than the ocean/ Is what you’ve given to me…” – Sleeping At Last, “Mother”

Verses: Psalm 131, John 3:16, Ephesians 3:18-21, Job 11:7-9, Psalm 103:11-14, 2 Corinthians 9:8, Jude 24-25, Romans 15:13, 2 Timothy 1:7, Philippians 4:20, 2 Peter 1:3, 2 Corinthians 9:15, Romans 11:36, 1 Corinthians 8:6, Colossians 1:16

Truth: God’s love is bigger than the ocean, utterly incomprehensible, and yet closer and more real than anything else in this world.

Owl City – If My Heart Was A House

Happy day, friends, and thanks for stopping by my website! I’ve been wanting to share my thoughts about this song by Owl City for a long time now. It’s one of the first fandom songs that pointed me to Scripture, and it’s still very close to my heart. I used to listen to “If My Heart Was a House” every single night before I went to sleep, and it’s one of my absolute favorite Owl City songs to this day. Hope you’ll enjoy fangirling with me!

Fandom: “Circle me, and the needle moves gracefully back and forth/ If my heart was a compass, you’d be north/ Risk it all, ’cause I’ll catch you when you fall/ Wherever you go, if my heart was a house, you’d be home” – Owl City, “If My Heart Was a House”

Verses: Deuteronomy 33:27, Isaiah 30:21, John 14:23

Truth: We can make our home in God’s heart, even as we invite Him to make a home in ours.

Gratitude Documented Day 3 – Dark Days fandom journal with me

Hello, friends, and happy November! Today’s prompt from Illustrated Faith’s Gratitude Documented project is “A love that endures,” which immediately made me think of a song I love from the unofficial-official Hunger Games movie soundtrack. I’ll share my thought process and some photos of the results with you today. Enjoy!

Song Lyric Sunday: Good, Pleasant, Heavenly

Happy Sunday, lovely people! I’ve just spent the past half hour or so discovering what others’ thought of for this week’s Song Lyric Sunday prompt, and figured I should go ahead and join in (you know, while it’s still Sunday and all 😆). Song Lyrics Sunday is a weekly challenge hosted by Jim, and this week’s prompt is “Sweet, Pleasant, Delightful, Heavenly.” Of course I thought of the song “Butterflies” by Kacey Musgraves, which to me is the epitome of that freshly-fallen-in-love feeling. Enjoy!

Rensey’s Romantic Radish: the Gospel According to Tiger’s Curse😉

Welcome back to The Gospel According to, where we connect all the books, movies, and music we all know and love with Bible verses and Biblical truths. This month, I’m re-reading the Tiger’s Curse series by Colleen Houck, and I’m absolutely loving the adorable, romantic, swoon-worthy details of Kelsey and Ren’s love story. This week, we’re focusing discussion on the radish metaphor that Kelsey uses in book one of the series. Intrigued? Stay tuned to find out what I mean!

Fandom: “…It’s like this… a starving man would gladly eat a radish, right? In fact, a radish would be a feast if that’s all he had. But if he had a buffet in front of him, the radish would never be chosen.” – Kelsey Hayes, Tiger’s Curse p. 379

“You don’t take away my choice. You are my choice.” – Ren, Tiger’s Quest (couldn’t find the page number 😅)

Verses: John 15:16, 1 Corinthians 1:27-29, Isaiah 40:28, Ephesians 2:10

Nugget: God chose us for His own, before and after we choose Him.

Twenty One Pilots – Smithereens

Happy Good Friday, friends, and welcome back to the Gospel According to, where we discuss the songs and books and movie quotes we all know and love from a different angle. This week, we’re fangirling over Twenty-One Pilots’ song “Smithereens,” which is super sweet and adorable on its own, but also presents a powerful picture of Jesus’ heart for us as He hung on the cross. Enjoy!

To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before: Love Is Scary

Happy Friday! This day is particularly special and exciting because it is the release date of the third TATBILB movie, Always and Forever, Lara Jean. I’m so excited to watch it tonight! For now though, here’s a Fandom Nugget inspired by the “love is scary” quote from To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before. Enjoy!

Fandom: “Love’s scary: it changes; it can go away. That’s part of the risk. I don’t want to be scared anymore.” Lara Jean Covey

Verse: “There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.” 1 John 4:18

Nugget: As we gain a deeper understanding of God’s love, we become less afraid of the risk involved in loving Him.

The Gospel According to Etta James: “At Last…”

Fandom: “At last… My love has come along… My lonely days… are over… And life is like a song…” – Etta James

Verses: Luke 2:28-30, Micah 5:4-5, Luke 15:7

Nugget: When Jesus arrives, the whole world breathes a long sigh of blissful relief.

This is a beautiful love song, truly a classic, and it seemed like the perfect fit for Christmas day. Hope you enjoy this post about Etta James’ stunning “At Last” and the sweet bliss of everything coming together.

Songbirds and Snakes – Pure As the Driven Snow

Fandom: “Pure As the Driven Snow” from The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, as performed by Maiah Wynne

Verses: 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24, Hebrews 11:1, Isaiah 1:18, Galatians 3:27

Nugget: We need, love, and trust Jesus because of who He is and what He’s done for us.
