From Sacristans To Storytellers
What if your church’s sacristans—quietly setting up for Mass on Sunday morning—were also an elf and a bard at a fantasy festival the day before? That’s the real-life story of Ruby and Joost, two amazing cosplayers I met at Elfia, who also serve as dedicated volunteers in their church. Their love for fantasy and faith isn’t a contradiction—it’s a reflection of the same values. Fantasy stories teach us courage, self-sacrifice, and hope, just like the Bible does. For Ruby and Joost, cosplay isn’t just dressing up. It’s a way to bring their favorite stories to life and share them with others. In this episode, I talk with them about how faith and fantasy go hand in hand, and why we shouldn’t be so quick to separate them. 🎧 Tune in for a fun conversation about costumes, communities, and the unexpected ways stories connect us all!
