Fangirling Over Jesus

Wanna hear all about Galaxy Con Raleigh? Then you've come to the right place! This is our home-convention, which means my mom and I go as fans, not vendors, and get to geek out at panels, photo ops, autograph sessions, and more! Listen in to the craziness that was Galaxy Con, with 50,000+ fans in attendance this year! Check out www.fangirlingoverjesus.com, our shop on Etsy, and @fangirling_over_je...

Welcome to a BRAND NEW FOJ podcast series called "Convention Confessions", where we take a behind-the-scenes look at our FOJ convention experiences! For this first episode, I take you through the good, the bad, and the ugly of Fanboy Expo Knoxville (FYI, you need a WAGON not a HAND TRUCK for convention set-up), and also talk a little about the WGA & SAG-AFTRA strike (I'm an actor, so it's pers...

"A ship in the harbor is safe, but that is not what a ship is built for." This was an exciting opportunity to speak with the community group Uncommon, hosted by my good friend Chris Williams! I have been absolutely loving the newest Little Mermaid movie, and wanted to talk more in depth about Ariel's grotto, what and where our own personal grotto is, and how that can also bring us closer to God. L...

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-verse was an incredible experience, so much so that my roommate and I actually went to see it twice! Today’s devotional is all about the link between the Spider-verse, Miles Morales, and our walk as believers. But, I thought I’d have my amazing friend, Chris Williams, bring it to you today! So give him a shout, and head to wherever you get your podcasts to give the fu...

🧜🏼‍♂️"You shouldn't have had to give up your voice to be heard."🧜🏼‍♀️ Do you ever desperately wish that someone, anyone, was hearing you? Truly listening, truly seeing you and understanding your point of voice? Unfortunately we all know what it's like to feel angry, defeated, and backed into a corner. And we see Ariel feel this way too in The Little Mermaid, which leads her down a path of regr...

The Mandalorian Season 3 was FULL of "I-spy-God" moments, and we want to talk all about them! From baptism by water and fire, to Din Djarin, Bo Katan, and Grogu's teamwork in the season finale (Ecclesiastes 4), this season felt full of faith, hope, strength, and above all else, a solidifying of Bo Katan's motto that Mandalorians are indeed stronger together. Check out our full episode, and pick up...

Everything about Crosshair is cool...his look (it reads a little Cad Bane, we think 🤔 ), his theme music, his cool/calm voice, his excellent sharpshooting skills...everything except the fact that he believes "good soldiers follow orders", even the bad ones. But if Star Wars does anything well, it's believing in hope and redemptive stories and characters. So, how the heck does Crosshair's characte...

Yup, we went there😎 I’ve been really impressed with Bo Katan’s character development over this season of #TheMandalorian, in addition to the other amazing women who are part of the Star Wars world. So in today’s devotional, we’re going to talk a little more about why these badass women are important, how it can influence our current world, and a couple examples of powerful women in the Bible too!...

🙏🏼You are not minimal to God. And names are not minimal to the clone troopers in Star Wars. So, what the heck do Fives and a droid named AZI-3 (Ayzee Three) have in common with the book oof Isaiah? Listen in to learn more! 🤖

🙌🏻SEASON 4 IS HERE!!!🙌🏻 Enjoy these quick excerpts from our season 4 premiere of #TheFaithfulFan, the devotional segment of our Fangirling Over Jesus ministry. So excited to be back at it, and I hope you enjoy learning more about how the heck the trench in Finding Nemo and Psalm 23 could possibly be related😎 To listen to the full episode click the link in our bio or find us on Spotify, Anchor...

“Don’t be afraid. I feel it too.” 🙏🏻 We all have fears, and often can be told in a short/sometimes trite way to have “faith over fear.” While this is not incorrect, I’d prefer to dive a little more into how we might have faith, even in spite of (and while we still have) fear. Oh!! And there’s a little bit of a fake out ending and extra P.S. at the end #marvelstyle. Happy Tuesday! • • #thefaithfu...

Kindness is a gift🎁. Having the faith and backing of our friends is a gift. But the greatest gift of all is Jesus humbling himself to come live among us, withstand torture and death on a cross for US, and then be resurrected in all His glory. There is a distinct difference between being humble about these gifts, and feeling unworthy or worthless to receive them...Would you open yourself up to rec...

How beautiful is it to know that Jesus knows our grief and has compassion for us? That even in the midst of our darkest moments, the God who created the universe desires a personal relationship with us? And, how sweet is it to know that even superheroes, and Jesus, grieve? This devo is a little longer, but as we come into the year-anniversary of living with COVID and all that entails, we want to e...

Welcome back to The Faithful Fan, our devotional series brought to you by me, Ashley Cox, through our business and ministry Fangirling Over Jesus. I promise I'm still working on a Part II to our episode 310, but in the meantime, God has been working in amazing ways over the past month or so, through the anniversary of my dad's passing away, to Galaxy Con Raleigh (where I got to hang out A LOT with...

🌟“Your strength has returned, but the weakness still remains!”🌟 I get chills every time I watch the season finale for the Obi Wan series because of this quote and scene. There is so much behind it—so many memories, emotions, and you can see Hayden and Ewan playing that out sooooo well. I’ve been wanting to do a devo on this episode for SO LONG! And now Part I is finally here🙌🏻🎉 • Referenced v...

🌟 “Let the past die.” “You’re the only one we trust.” “Please, old friend. One last fight.”🌟  Do you believe God can use you, mistakes, strengths, weaknesses, failures, and all? Do you forgive yourself through the blame and shame you’ve heaped onto yourself? Do you believe God knows you enough to stay with you? Do you trust that God's grace can be sufficient? These last few episodes of “Obi-Wan...

My good friend Christopher Williams​ invited me to come speak to his community group Uncommon last week, and the theme I felt like God was leading me into was discussing grief. How we go through it, how I personally went through it over this past year with the death of my dad, and where Jesus is in our grief as well as how He grieves with us. I hope this longer devotional/sermon conversation can b...

“Know I am here because you are here.” I love this quote from Yoda to Kanan Jarrus in episode 110 of #StarWarsRebels because it’s something I feel like I could hear Jesus saying to us. And the beautiful thing is, Jesus DID come here, to Earth, because we were here and we needed rescuing. He endured the most horrible torture and death so that we could have freedom—what greater love is there? Praise...

It’s Holy Thursday! As we go through Holy Week, listen in to how Natasha’s sacrifice in Endgame points us to the EVEN GREATER sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Her death helped bring back millions from the blip, but Jesus’ death AND resurrection saved us all from eternal death and separation from God, if only we would believe in Him and repent. Jesus humbled himself to come down and live as a human among...

WHOOT! My good friend Chris @uncommon_chris21 from @being_the_uncommon is giving you guys an AWESOME guest devotional for today’s episode of #TheFaithfulFan . He’s going to dive a little deeper into #TheFalconandtheWinterSoldier and I love the way he connects it all back to what God might be doing in each of us. Enjoy!🙌🏻🤩

More Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Phil Coulson😎 What is YOUR foundation of faith? What do you cling to unwaveringly? And how do you approach the people around you? Let’s dive into some of these questions in this MONDAY #TheFaithfulFan devo🙏🏻

Happy #TanoTuesday ! We have a super exciting announcement for you guys, so please listen to this video🧡💙🤍! More information/answers to questions are below in the caption, but this is some thing we are thrilled to partner with you on and it’s something that we believe God is leading us into.

Episode 204 — Arwen Evenstar✨ “The light of the Evenstar does not wax and wane. It is mine to give to whom I will, like my heart." Arwen is such a beautiful, steadfast, and faithful character in #LOTR . Her strength, grace, and love endures and lights a way for Aragorn and others in the Fellowship throughout the films. I love her character because her endurance and faithfulness remind me that Chr...

Trilogies upon Trilogies! Season 2 Episode...wait for it...3!!🙌🏻😂 Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Han Solo, Luke, and Leia. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. And so many more! We’ve seen the “trope of 3” used many times in storytelling, film TV, and even in our faith, but that’s because it really does hold up in so many scenarios. Let’s take a quick 30,000 ft. view at the role of trilogies and threes...

“Between darkness and defeat, hope survives.” We know that in the midst of death, illness, war, and terrible circumstances, that hope can still abound. We know this because we know that Jesus is our savior: that He died and ROSE again. Even in the midst of what seems like defeat to us, God can use these circumstances for His good purposes. Praise the Lord!
