Ever felt the pull to be recognized more than to be faithful? We open with John 1 to reset the center: the Word who was with God and is God, the true Light that no darkness can hold. From there, we track John the Baptist’s stunning restraint—refusing every label and choosing a vocation instead: a voice in the wilderness. That choice becomes our theme. When the church chases titles, the message gets thin; when we guard the message, the fruit gets real.We wrestle with the Elijah question and how Jesus names John in the spirit of Elijah without John wearing the title. Then we zoom out to timing, ego, and the temptation to force outcomes. The wilderness tests read like a modern ministry playbook: satisfy the crowd now, perform for applause, seize power today. Jesus refuses shortcuts, and that pattern frees us from marketing our souls. Along the way, we share candid stories, from leaders who fell when platform outpaced character to humble pastors who’d rather be called by their first name than be sold on a flyer. The takeaway is painfully simple: you are your message. If the message is Christ, you won’t need a pedestal.Expect practical steps you can use this week: where to start reading (John, then the Synoptics, then Acts), how to ask God for today’s assignment, how to recognize the passages and tests that reveal your calling, and how to avoid argument traps that feed pride but starve love. We end with a call to be the church where it’s darkest—prisons, neighborhoods on edge, living rooms where hope feels thin—trusting that obedience beats optics. If you’re ready to trade status for substance and let Jesus increase while you decrease, press play, grab a notebook, and meet us in the Word.https://wofoyo.org/              #wofoyo
