Mary's advice to the servants at the wedding in Cana—"do whatever he tells you"—may be the best guidance in the entire Bible for followers of Jesus. This simple instruction defines discipleship and guarantees we'll always do the right thing, though not necessarily the easiest.
• The GOSPEL framework helps discern what Jesus is telling us to do
• G - Gospel alignment: God's direction always advances the gospel
• O - Others: Trusted people often confirm God's voice in our lives
• S - Scripture: The Bible is our primary source of God's commands
• P - Prayer: Bringing decisions before God through consistent prayer
• E - Experience: Past experiences often confirm God's calling
• L - Love: Whatever God calls us to do will be driven by love
• God never contradicts in personal direction what He has established in Scripture
• Some commands are universal for all believers: make disciples, forgive, tithe, love
• Sometimes we must "pray, guess, and go," trusting God with outcomes

Boysober
Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating. She went "boysober," a personal concept that sparked a global movement among women looking to prioritize themselves over men. Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
