Cosplay For Christ: Recent Episodes
Jess
This is the Cosplay for Christ podcast. I'm Jess, your host, and I'm here to encourage and strengthen Christians in the cosplay world, to speak truth in Love, to embolden fellow believers to live proudly showing the love of Jesus Christ in their circles, and practical tips and tricks for my cosplayers out there. Thanks for listening!
Ever wondered how aligning personal ambitions with God's will can transform your projects into meaningful endeavors? Join me as I recount a summer filled with unexpected turns, from a delightful anniversary trip with my husband to a mix of productive and procrastinated sewing projects. Despite my best efforts to stay on track, the whirlwind of daily life had other plans, yet it also offered valuable lessons and moments of reflection. Now that the school year is here, I'm ready to embrace the structure and focus on what lies ahead for the "Cosplay for Christ" podcast.
We'll explore the exciting plans for the new school year and how this podcast aims to serve its ministry goals. I candidly share my struggles with staying focused, highlighted by my husband's humorous suspicion that I might have ADHD. More importantly, we reflect on the importance of partnering with God in our daily pursuits, ensuring our work remains impactful and purpose-driven. With gratitude for the platform provided by God, this episode is a blend of personal stories, reflections on faith, and a look at what's next for "Cosplay for Christ.
Proverbs 19:21Many plans are in a man’s heart,
But the counsel of the Lord will stand.Proverbs 16:3Commit your works to the Lord
And your plans will be established.

1 Thessalonians 4:2-8
2For you know the instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.
3For it is God’s will that you should be holy: You must abstain from sexual immorality; 4each of you must know how to control his own bodya in holiness and honor, 5not in lustful passion like the Gentiles who do not know God; 6and no one should ever violate or exploit his brother in this regard,b because the Lord will avenge all such acts, as we have already told you and solemnly warned you. 7For God has not called us to impurity, but to holiness. 8Anyone, then, who rejects this command does not reject man but God, the very One who gives you His Holy Spirit.

Happy Maycember!!! Catching up on my latest costume builds, danger at the Narnia Faire, and that deep desire we all have to belong and to be known and loved by someone.
Psalm 139:2-5
"2 You perceive every movement of my heart and soul, and you understand my every thought before it even enters my mind.
3-4 You are so intimately aware of me, Lord. You read my heart like an open book and you know all the words I’m about to speak before I even start a sentence! You know every step I will take before my journey even begins.
5 You’ve gone into my future to prepare the way, and in kindness you follow behind me to spare me from the harm of my past. You have laid your hand on me!"

This is the second part of the discussion Katie Lewis from Bountiful Living and I have about what we can learn about suffering from the book of Job and the Bible.
James1:2-42Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, 3for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. 4And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. John 16:33b"In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.”Job 13:15Though he slay me, I will hope in him;
yet I will argue my ways to his face

Jess welcomes her very good friend Katie Lewis from Bountiful Living to discuss the book of Job and how we as Christians can take truths from it to help us in our own suffering. We talk about what it would take to say, "no matter what happens to me, I will put my trust in the Lord."
Job 1:21
And he said, “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.”

Welcome Back! Jess has been off for the last month recovering from sickness and con crunch! In this episode she talks about how people weaponize scripture, using condemnation to manipulate people to fit their agenda. She talks about the proper way Jesus shows us to talk with fellow believers when in sin, and to always use the model of patience, gentleness and love when correcting someone. She also talks about when we are falsely accused of things that are not true.
Condemnation leads to fear, shame and death
Conviction leads to repentance and life
Matthew 18:15-17
15 “If your brother or sister[b] sins,[c] go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. 16 But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’[d] 17 If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector.

Day 6 of our Advent Reading plan from Paul David Tripp

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Hebrews 1:1-4New Living TranslationJesus Christ Is God’s Son
1 Long ago God spoke many times and in many ways to our ancestors through the prophets. 2 And now in these final days, he has spoken to us through his Son. God promised everything to the Son as an inheritance, and through the Son he created the universe. 3 The Son radiates God’s own glory and expresses the very character of God, and he sustains everything by the mighty power of his command. When he had cleansed us from our sins, he sat down in the place of honor at the right hand of the majestic God in heaven. 4 This shows that the Son is far greater than the angels, just as the name God gave him is greater than their names.

Congratulations to Claudia at Ssilvermooncosplay for winning the $200 Giveaway!!
2 Corinthians 5:17-21New Living Translation
17 This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!
18 And all of this is a gift from God, who brought us back to himself through Christ. And God has given us this task of reconciling people to him. 19 For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation. 20 So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!” 21 For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin,[a] so that we could be made right with God through Christ.

Jess catches up on the last month of holiday craziness and talks about the season we are in with Christmas just a few weeks away. There is a time for everything under the sun as the scripture in Ecclesiastes says, so let's try to make this time the season for joy, dancing and laughing!
Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
1There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:
2 a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,3 a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,4 a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,5 a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing,6 a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,7 a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,8 a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

This week I have a special guest Dr Andrew K. Fox from Cultural Clarity with me to talk about how we as Christians should approach a Holiday like Halloween and other celebrations through the guidance of the Word of God.
1 Corinthians 13:6"Love finds no joy in unrighteousness but rejoices in the truth."Hebrews 4:12"For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.""I love to teach, engage, lecture, debate, and educate. I love to help people think and learn. I love it when people become inspired to think for themselves. It’s like waking a giant!"

For His lovingkindness endures forever.

Jess talks about her latest builds and digs into 2 Peter 1:5-8. She goes to the Greek roots words of these scriptures to see how Peter shows us to be useful and fruitful for the Kingdom of God.
**2 Peter 1:3-11
Growth in the Faith**
3 His divine power has given us everything required for life and godliness through the knowledge of Him who called us by[d] His own glory and goodness. 4 By these He has given us very great and precious promises, so that through them you may share in the divine nature, escaping the corruption that is in the world because of evil desires. 5 For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with goodness, goodness with knowledge, 6 knowledge with self-control, self-control with endurance, endurance with godliness, 7 godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. 8 For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they will keep you from being useless or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 The person who lacks these things is blind and shortsighted and has forgotten the cleansing from his past sins. 10 Therefore, brothers, make every effort to confirm your calling and election, because if you do these things you will never stumble. 11 For in this way, entry into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly supplied to you.

She's Back! Jess talks about how Paul showed us in 1 Corinthians 3 to be servants of Jesus working together that will build something that will last.
1 Corinthians 3:5-17
The Role of God’s Servants
5 What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? They are servants through whom you believed, and each has the role the Lord has given. 6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. 7 So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. 8 Now the one planting and the one watering are one in purpose, and each will receive his own reward according to his own labor. 9 For we are God’s coworkers.[a] You are God’s field, God’s building. 10 According to God’s grace that was given to me, I have laid a foundation as a skilled master builder, and another builds on it. But each one must be careful how he builds on it. 11 For no one can lay any other foundation than what has been laid down. That foundation is Jesus Christ. 12 If anyone builds on that foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or straw, 13 each one’s work will become obvious, for the day[b] will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire; the fire will test the quality of each one’s work. 14 If anyone’s work that he has built survives, he will receive a reward. 15 If anyone’s work is burned up, it will be lost, but he will be saved; yet it will be like an escape through fire.[c]
16 Don’t you yourselves know that you are God’s sanctuary and that the Spirit of God lives in you? 17 If anyone destroys God’s sanctuary, God will destroy him; for God’s sanctuary is holy, and that is what you are.

Hey everyone! Jess talks about the weekend at Missouri Comic Con and also talks about not getting offended when things don't go the way we think they should.
2 Kings 5:11-1411 But Naaman got angry and left, saying, “I was telling myself: He will surely come out, stand and call on the name of Yahweh his God, and will wave his hand over the spot and cure the skin disease. 12 Aren’t Abana and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean?” So he turned and left in a rage.
13 But his servants approached and said to him, “My father, if the prophet had told you to do some great thing, would you not have done it? How much more should you do it when he tells you, ‘Wash and be clean’?” 14 So Naaman went down and dipped himself in the Jordan seven times, according to the command of the man of God. Then his skin was restored and became like the skin of a small boy, and he was clean.

Steps to take for those who are struggling to break free
1. Repent of your sin *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 1 John 1:9
What is unrighteousness? God's Wrath on Unrighteousness
Romans 1:18-32
18 "For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world,[g] in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23* and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.
26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. 29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them."
2. Talk to Someone / Get an Accountability Partner16 "Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, so that

Jess talks about her current projects, the benefits of keeping a journal and how we are supposed to not just read the Bible but do what it says!
James 1:19-2519 My dearly loved brothers, understand this: Everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger, 20 for man’s anger does not accomplish God’s righteousness. 21 Therefore, ridding yourselves of all moral filth and evil, humbly receive the implanted word, which is able to save you.
22 But be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 Because if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his own face in a mirror. 24 For he looks at himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. 25 But the one who looks intently into the perfect law of freedom and perseveres in it and is not a forgetful hearer but one who does good works—this person will be blessed in what he does.Biblical Archaeology Today w/ Steve Waldron podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/biblical-archaeology-today-w-steve-waldron/id1546793963

Happy 2023! Jess talks about the new year and her theme she feels will be her 2023. She talks about how God is always with us and is our stength, and also goes breifly into some of her 2023 cosplans.
2 Samuel 22:33-37
33 God is my strong refuge; He makes my way perfect. 34 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer and sets me securely on the heights. 35 He trains my hands for war; my arms can bend a bow of bronze. 36 You have given me the shield of Your salvation; Your help exalts me. 37 You widen a place beneath me for my steps, and my ankles do not give way.
Psalms 18:1-2I love You, Lord, my strength. 2 The Lord is my rock,
my fortress, and my deliverer,
my God, my mountain where I seek refuge,
my shield and the horn of my salvation,

Jess talks about what she does when she finishes a project. Her Obiwan Kenobi Cosplay for her neighbor is done. She's now going to repeat the whole process and learn from her first mistakes:
1. Pre wash your fabric!
2. If you use dye for cotton fabrics don’t use synthetic string to sew with 😬
3. Use double the amount of fabric for the entire tunic
4. Measure the person yourself instead of going by their measurements :)
5. Read through the instructions and watch the videos for tutorial first before proceeding lol
Here is the tutorial I used with pattern Simplicity 5840

Jess shares her inability to be on the same page with dressing up for non-cosplayer events and how our competence in helping others is through our confidence in Jesus Christ.
2 Corinthians 3:4-6 HCSB
4 We have this kind of confidence toward God through Christ. 5 It is not that we are competent in[a] ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our competence is from God. 6 He has made us competent to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter, but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit produces life.

Jess catches us up on the holiday week including her car accident she was involved with. She talks about rolling with life and to anchor our hope in Jesus
Hebrews 6:17-20
17 Because God wanted to show His unchangeable purpose even more clearly to the heirs of the promise, He guaranteed it with an oath, 18 so that through two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to seize the hope set before us. 19 We have this hope as an anchor for our lives, safe and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain. 20 Jesus has entered there on our behalf as a forerunner, because He has become a high priest forever in the order of Melchizedek.
Philippians 4:8
8 Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable—if there is any moral excellence and if there is any praise—dwell on these things.

Jess talks with mother/daughter team Laura and Alexandria Farrar. We run the gamut in our conversation from arranged marriages to how to avoid situations where temptation lurks. Come enjoy our candid unscripted dialog among friends.
1 Corinthians 10:13
No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

Can you be a Christian and not go to church? Jess dives into this topic and the reasons why she attends her local church and why you should too.
Why should I go?
1. Build each other up in the faith
2. Fellow Christians are family
3. To Encourage/show love and support to one another
4. To have community you do life with
5. Healing
6. To experience God
"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God."
Colossians 3:16
"Let us hold on to the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us be concerned about one another in order to promote love and good works,not staying away from our worship meetings, as some habitually do, but encouraging each other, and all the more as you see the day drawing near."
Hebrews 10:23-25
"Every day they devoted themselves to meeting together in the temple complex, and broke bread from house to house. They ate their food with a joyful and humble attitude, praising God and having favor with all the people. And every day the Lord added to them those who were being saved."
Acts 2:46-47

When you don't know who you are, it's easy to get swayed into different identities and labels that we or others put on ourselves. Jess dives into what the bible says about who we are as Christians and how to navigate our cosplay lives when we know who we are in Christ.
John 15:16 You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit - fruit that will last - and so that whatever you ask in my name the father will give you.
1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession. that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
My first dive into the podcast world! This episode is a little bit about me and how I started in the cosplay world. My first comic con story along with some insights into what scripture says about being God's workmanship in Ephesians 2:10
