Andra Day – Rise Up

happy Monday, friends, and welcome to another Gospel According to! I was listening to my “Fandoms” playlist on Spotify recently and this song came on. It speaks to me every time, but on this particular day I was super inspired and ended up creating a full journal spread and a Bible journaling page as a result. “Rise Up” is about the only song by Andra Day that I’m familiar with, but it’s so good! Hope you enjoy this post!

Verses: Proverbs 24:16, Psalm 37:23-24, 2 Corinthians 4:7-10, 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, Micah 7:7-8

Truth: When we fall, God will always lift us back up again.

October Reflection – What worked, what didn’t, and a few of my favorite things

Hello, friends! As it’s the last day of the month and I’m feeling introspective, I thought I’d give you some thoughts on life behind the screen. I’ve found it’s helpful for me to reflect at the end of each month on what’s been working, what isn’t, all the good things that happened during the month, and some of the things I’ve discovered and loved. Enjoy!

Birdy – Keeping Your Head Up

Welcome to The Gospel According To at our new time, Monday afternoons! (WordPress said this was the most active time for my site, so it made sense :). This is a series of posts that highlight all the lovely things that make our hearts go pitter-patter in the Human World, then connect them to Bible verses and Biblical themes that make them even more beautiful. This week’s beautiful creature is Birdy – “Keeping Your Head Up,” which I thought would be perfect to wrap up Suicide Prevention Month. Enjoy!

Bastille’s “Joy” – Protecting Your Mental Health by Relying on the Holy Spirit

The end of another week is upon us, friends. Hope you’ve been working hard, living well, and breathing deep– if not, now’s a fantastic time to start! *deep, calm breath* ahhhh… Friday also means it’s time to fangirl over more of our favorite lovely, noble, pure, uplifting things from the human world, then turn them upward to the source of all that is good, noble, pure, and uplifting. That’s right, it’s another episode of The Gospel According to, where we connect all the fandoms with Scripture to grow deeper in our understanding of who God is, who we are, and how we can relate to each other. This week’s focus is a surprisingly light-hearted song from the pop music group Bastille. Enjoy!
