Tatum is currently under the weather and wanted to send you this reminder to disrupt well.

--

Welcome back to another installment of our Bible on Business series! In today’s episode, we dive into the powerful message that Kingdom Entrepreneurs are Disruptors. Through the example of Apostle Paul in Ephesus (Acts 19:23-32), we explore how true kingdom businesses inevitably challenge cultural and economic norms, much like Paul’s ministry did against idolatry and occultic practices in Ephesus.

Episode Highlights:

• The Disruptive Impact of Kingdom Businesses
• Paul’s ministry in Ephesus created an economic and spiritual ripple effect, revealing the clash between kingdom values and societal idols like greed, idolatry, and exploitation. As kingdom entrepreneurs, we must be prepared to face similar resistance when operating with integrity and purpose.
• The Inevitable “Riot”
• Just as Paul’s ministry sparked a riot, modern kingdom businesses often challenge norms that are deeply embedded in the business world. From hustle culture to manipulative marketing, today’s entrepreneurs are called to disrupt these standards, knowing that resistance is part of the journey.
• Building Businesses with Integrity and Impact
• Tatum shares practical tips for maintaining purity in business, including transparent pricing, prioritizing purpose over profit, and incorporating charity. By staying rooted in prayer, relying on community support, and being intentional about leaving a legacy that glorifies God rather than self, entrepreneurs can build resilient, kingdom-focused businesses.

Key Takeaways for Disruptive Kingdom Entrepreneurship:

1. Transparent Pricing and Practices – Build trust by being open about materials, sources, and policies that prioritize integrity.
2. Prioritize Purpose Over Profit – Support charitable causes or community initiatives, demonstrating that the kingdom purpose is greater than the bottom line.
3. Root Yourself in Prayer and Community – Prayer and community are essential for navigating the challenges of disrupting worldly systems.
4. Ensure a Legacy of Faith, Not Fame – Aim to leave a Christ-centered legacy by putting Christ at the center of all business activities.

Scripture Reference:

• Acts 19:23-32 – Paul’s ministry in Ephesus and the disruptive impact it had on a society steeped in idolatry.

Tatum encourages listeners to embrace the reality that as kingdom entrepreneurs, they’re called to disrupt the status quo. With wisdom from Paul’s journey and practical tips, this episode empowers listeners to courageously confront opposition, build ethically, and leave a lasting impact that glorifies God.

Wrapping up the Ruthless Elimination of Hurry book club, Tatum shifts into a candid, personal conversation about the difference between genuine trust in God and avoidance dressed up as spirituality. Drawing from psychology, Scripture, and her own experience praying through her grandmother's stage-four cancer diagnosis, she unpacks how Christians — especially high-achieving entrepreneurs — often mistake "rushing to joy" for faith when it's really a defense mechanism keeping them from real intimacy with God.

What's Covered A book club update: The group has finished The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry and is moving toward a business-focused pick next, with Great CEOs Are Lazy under consideration as a way to explore building a business from sustainability rather than hustle culture. * The spiritualizing of avoidance: Why avoidance is one of the most socially acceptable defense mechanisms in Christian culture, often hiding behind phrases like "God's got me" or "I'm not sad, the joy of the Lord is my strength." * A personal story: How Tatum navigated her grandmother's 90-day cancer prognosis, the shift in her prayers from demanding a specific outcome to surrendering the outcome entirely, and what that taught her about the difference between avoidance and trust. * The psychology of avoidance: A look at "experiential avoidance" — the attempt to escape or numb uncomfortable emotions — and the research linking it to anxiety, depression, and other forms of psychological distress. * Avoidance in entrepreneurship: How uncertainty, a core ingredient of faith, gets treated as a threat — leading business owners to quietly override God's specific instructions with their own "safer," more marketable plans. * Root causes of avoidance: Fear, shame, the desire for control, and unprocessed pain, and how each shows up in decision-making, dating, finances, and launching a business. * Signs you're avoiding rather than trusting: Refusing to face the worst-case scenario, and praying only for a fix rather than for comfort and wisdom. * A practical reframe*: The question Tatum returns to again and again — both for herself and for others — "Do you have to do anything?"

Key Takeaways* Avoidance offers temporary relief but blocks growth, resilience, and closeness with God; trust requires sitting with the discomfort instead of rushing past it. * Faith is not the absence of uncertainty — uncertainty is built into the definition of faith itself. * Facing a worst-case scenario isn't inviting it to happen; it's being honest about what's driving your emotions so you can bring it to God fully. * Disappointment and trust can coexist. Being able to feel disappointed while still saying "not my will, but yours" is a marker of spiritual maturity, not a lack of faith. * Avoidance often looks like wisdom, planning, and having it all together — which is exactly why it goes unchecked in high achievers.

This episode wraps up the book club discussion of The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry with the remaining ten practices for slowing down, plus a personal, unscripted reflection on trusting God through uncertainty.

The episode opens with a raw moment about navigating law school as a non-traditional student, including a candid conversation with God about wanting to see the bigger picture before feeling secure in obedience. The takeaway: God often withholds the full plan on purpose, not to withhold comfort, but to keep us dependent on Him rather than on our own self-sufficiency.

From there, the conversation returns to the list of 20 practices for slowing down, picking up at number 11 and continuing through number 20. Topics include setting boundaries around email and social media, the debate over cutting out television entirely, the case for single-tasking over multitasking, taking a regular day of silence and solitude, journaling, mindfulness and meditation through a Christian lens, taking real vacations, and the value of slowing down around food, whether that means cooking at home or being intentional while eating out.

The episode closes out the book club pick with a reflection on the book's epilogue and an open question about what to read next.

Key Highlights

• A personal reflection on asking God for the "big picture" and what He said in response
• Why God sometimes keeps the full plan hidden, even when you are being obedient
• Practices 11 through 20 for slowing down, including thoughts on which ones felt useful and which felt overly rigid
• A respectful disagreement with the author's stance on cutting out TV entirely
• Why single-tasking, not multitasking, is the one non-negotiable on the list
• The value of a monthly day of silence and solitude, and a smaller, more realistic version of it
• Mindfulness and meditation reframed through scripture rather than secular practice
• Closing thoughts on the book's epilogue and an open call for the next book club pick

This episode wraps up the discussion on simplicity and moves into the fourth and final practice of unhurried living: slowing. Before diving in, the episode opens with a personal reflection on what it looked like to actually live this out — a season of downsizing a business, laying off a team, and trusting God's call to slow down even when it made no practical sense.

From there, the conversation shifts to contentment — specifically the way Paul uses "I can do all things through Christ" in Philippians, not as a battle cry for achievement, but as a testimony about being at peace in any circumstance. Contentment is framed not as the absence of ambition, but as the ability to hold desire without striving — checking with God before chasing the next opportunity rather than figuring it out on your own.

The episode then moves into the author's 20 practical tips for slowing down, covering the first ten. The list centers heavily on driving habits and phone use — driving the speed limit, arriving early without your phone, and intentionally creating a "dumb phone" experience by removing notifications, social media, and email. Several tips are reflected on personally, including changes made to phone settings after reading the chapter.

Key Highlights

• What it actually looked like to obey God's call to slow down in the middle of a business crisis
• The difference between toxic ambition and healthy drive — and how healing changes what you are chasing and why
• Contentment as restraint, not passivity — wanting more while still being at peace with where you are
• Reading Ecclesiastes as a practical starting point for anyone who wants to pray for contentment
• The first 10 of 20 practical tips for slowing down, with honest reactions to each
• A personal phone audit — which notifications stayed, which were deleted, and why

In this episode, we continue our discussion of John Mark Comer's book The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry, picking up with his chapter on simplicity and money.

Episode Overview

This episode covers Comer's chapter on simplicity, including his take on Jesus' teachings about money, the practice of minimalism, and 12 principles for simpler living. The episode also includes a running critique of where the author's analysis of wealth falls short.

Key Discussion Points

On Jesus and money

Comer argues that roughly 25% of Jesus' teachings address money and possessions, and that nearly none of them are positive toward wealth accumulation. He connects three short teachings from Matthew 6 — on storing treasures in heaven, the lamp of the body, and serving two masters — to one long teaching on worry, making the case that what we worship, we worry about.

The episode pushes back on this framing. Jesus' statements like "it is more blessed to give than to receive" and "you cannot serve both God and money" are not condemnations of wealth itself. They are observations about the condition of the heart. Money funds generosity, finances kingdom work, and creates the margin to serve others well. The issue is not wealth but what wealth does to a person's heart when it becomes their source of identity or security.

A personal example: being a landlord to a tenant facing breast cancer and financial hardship. Having financial margin allowed for grace — accepting late or partial payments, covering the mortgage independently — in a way that would not have been possible otherwise. That is wealth functioning as a tool for kingdom living.

On the author's framework

Comer eventually acknowledges the tension — noting that Jesus was supported by wealthy donors, had disciples manage a budget, and shared meals with rich friends — but does not spend enough time there. The scriptures he cites actually contain the nuance he underexplores. When someone uses scripture primarily to validate a point already formed, rather than letting scripture shape the point, it is worth noticing. That pattern reveals a lot about how a person is operating, even if unintentionally.

What minimalism actually is (and is not)

Comer offers several clarifications:

It is not a design aesthetic or a style preference.

It is not poverty or living without enjoyment.

It is not organizing your stuff — if you have so much that it requires organizing, labeling, and boxing, you likely have too much.

Minimalism is the intentional promotion of what you value most and the removal of what distracts from it. It applies not just to possessions but to time, mental load, and the condition of the heart. Hurry is not only a physical state — it is a condition of the mind.

Comer's 12 Principles for Simple Living

Before buying, consider the true cost — maintenance, time, insurance, and what it will do to the pace of your life.

Before buying, ask whether the purchase harms the poor or the earth. The garment industry is a direct example: in the 1960s, 95% of American clothing was made in the U.S.; today it is 2%, often produced under exploitative conditions.

(Covered within principle 2 — the ethics of globalized manufacturing.)

When you do buy, opt for fewer, better things. Buy it once.

When you can, share. Community and the sharing economy reduce the need to own.

Get into the habit of giving things away. Generosity is both practical and life-giving. Personal example: passing along baby clothes and supplies within community, and using the school's used uniform shop to outfit a child for a fraction of retail cost.

Live by a budget. In a culture that glorifies frivolous spending, budgeting is a form of good stewardship. Enjoyment belongs in the budget — but so does discipline.

Learn to enjoy things without owning them. Parks, libraries, coffee shops, and natural spaces are available to everyone.

Cultivate a deep appreciation for creation.

Cultivate a deep appreciation for simple pleasures.

Recognize advertising for what it is. (Partial disagreement here: advertising is not propaganda or lying — there are laws against false advertising. The more accurate takeaway is to be intentional about not purchasing what you do not actually need.)

Lead a cheerful revolt against materialism. Actively and joyfully reject the pull toward accumulation.

Scripture Referenced

Matthew 6 (Sermon on the Mount — storing treasures, the lamp of the body, serving two masters, and do not worry)

1 Timothy 6:17-19 (Paul's command to the rich in Ephesus)

In this episode, we continue our journey through The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer, diving into the third principle of unhurried living: simplicity. Before getting into the chapter, there is a quick reminder about the moving sale — physical copies of the God Is My CEO Prayer Journal, the podcast planner, and She Is Uncompromising are still available for just $5 each plus shipping. Orders of 10 or more ship free. Links are in the show notes.

The episode opens with a reflection on Sabbath practices from last week's discussion, including a practical tip for using AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude to generate hobby ideas that align with rest and worship — not work. From floral arranging to crafting custom tea blends, the goal is finding activities that slow you down and reconnect you with the beauty of God's creation.

The heart of the episode centers on what the author calls the "gospel of America" — the cultural belief that life's meaning is found in accumulation and consumption. Drawing on Jesus' own words about wealth, greed, and the deceitfulness of riches, listeners are challenged to honestly examine whether they would follow God even if success never looked the way they envisioned. The episode also takes a critical look at the history of American consumerism, the rise of lifestyle marketing and influencer culture, and the very real spiritual danger of allowing things — cars, clothes, brands, and clout — to become identity markers.

A Princeton study by Kahneman and Deaton, originally placing the happiness income threshold at $75,000 (approximately $108,500 in today's dollars), sparks a candid pushback: money is not the problem when it is used to buy freedom, experiences, and time rather than stuff. The episode challenges the author's framing while affirming his core point — the relentless accumulation of things accelerates hurry and pulls us away from the unhurried life Jesus modeled.

The episode wraps before the chapter's 12 practical tips on simplicity, which will be covered in the next episode.

Key Highlights

• Moving sale is still active — prayer journals, podcast planner, and more available for $5 each; orders of 10 or more ship free
• Using AI tools to brainstorm Sabbath-friendly hobbies that cannot be turned into a business
• The "gospel of America" — how consumerism has replaced religion as the dominant system of meaning in Western culture
• A hard introspective question: would you still follow God if your business never produced the results on your vision board?
• The history of how corporate America deliberately engineered a culture of consumption after World War II
• A challenge to Christian content creators who promote products to examine whether that activity contributes to consumerism
• The $75,000 happiness study — published in 2010, equivalent to roughly $108,500 today — and why a fixed happiness ceiling is worth questioning
• The distinction between spending money on stuff versus spending money on freedom, time, and experiences
• Next episode: the remaining half of the simplicity chapter, including 12 practical tips from the author

We're continuing our book club series on The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer, and this week we're diving into Part Three — the how of living an unhurried life. After covering silence and solitude last episode, today we go deep on one of the most underrated and underused spiritual practices in Christian spaces: the Sabbath.

But first — Tatum shares a raw and beautiful testimony from her quiet time this week, a moment on the floor in her daughter's room that turned into a soul-restoring encounter with the Father. She also gets real about a revelation she received for Christian entrepreneurs: the difference between your working relationship with God and your personal relationship with Him — and why both matter.

In This Episode Testimony: What happened when Tatum lay on the floor, didn't know what to pray, and started speaking in tongues — and why she bawled her eyes out * The working relationship vs. the personal relationship with God — a word for veteran Christian entrepreneurs who have the rhythm down but may be missing the closeness * The YouTube plan she shelved — and why she chose the Father over the plan * What is the Sabbath? The Hebrew meaning of Shabbat (to stop) and why God built this rhythm into the DNA of creation * Desire, restlessness, and the digital age — how advertising monetizes our restlessness and why only God can satisfy infinite desire * What happens to your mind, body, and soul when you fight the Sabbath rhythm — including what happened in France when they tried a 10-day work week * The statistics: Why Seventh-Day Adventists live 10 years longer than the average American * Two lists: Restfulness vs. Relentlessness — which one describes your life right now? * Practical tips for busy bodies who struggle with the "in-between" of rest — including how Tatum's Friday grocery habit accidentally created a more restful weekend * What the Sabbath actually looks like — the author's family practice and how to find what works for yours * Working from rest, not for rest — and why the Sabbath is the climax of the week, not just a break in it * Next episode:* Simplicity

Key Quote

"The Sabbath isn't just a 24-hour time slot in your weekly schedule. It's a spirit of restfulness that goes with you throughout your week. A way of living with ease, gratitude, appreciation, peace, and prayer. A way of working from rest, not for rest, with nothing to prove. A way of bearing fruit from abiding and not ambition." — John Mark Comer, The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry

Tatum's Word for Christian EntrepreneursAs you grow in doing business God's way, don't let the working relationship replace the personal one. You can be in rhythm with God in your business and still have a void in your closeness to Him as His daughter. Tend to both. The business meetings with God matter — and so does just lying at His feet with nothing to say.

In this deeply personal episode of Blessed and Bossed Up, Tatum returns after finals season to continue the book club series on The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer.

This conversation explores the first practice for “unhurrying” your life: silence and solitude.

From motherhood and entrepreneurship to law school and spiritual formation, Tatum shares how busyness, noise, and constant stimulation can quietly disconnect us from the presence of God — and how reclaiming moments of stillness can transform our spiritual, emotional, and mental well-being.

She unpacks:

• Why boredom used to be a gift
• How technology keeps us spiritually distracted
• Learning to practice God’s presence in everyday moments
• Why the wilderness is not weakness, but strength
• The difference between solitude and isolation
• How internal noise impacts peace, anxiety, and emotional health
• Why silence is essential for healing, clarity, and abiding in Christ

This episode is both a conviction and an invitation: to slow down, reconnect with God, and create rhythms that cultivate peace instead of chaos.

Key TakeawaysBoredom Was Once SacredBefore smartphones and endless stimulation, boredom created space for creativity, imagination, reflection, and connection. Today, we often fill every quiet moment with scrolling, entertainment, or mental noise — missing opportunities to connect with God.

God Is Present Beyond the Prayer ClosetTatum reflects on a revelation that changed her relationship with God: His presence isn’t confined to designated “quiet times.” Through the Holy Spirit, God is present while washing dishes, driving, making coffee, or watching children play.

The Wilderness Is a Place of StrengthReferencing Jesus in the wilderness, this episode reframes difficult seasons not as punishment or weakness, but as places where God’s strength is revealed most powerfully.

Silence Is More Than External QuietTrue silence includes:

• External silence (turning off noise and distractions)
• Internal silence (quieting worry, fantasies, overthinking, anxiety, and mental chatter)

Solitude Is HealingSolitude is not isolation. It is intentional time with God where healing, self-awareness, conviction, and restoration take place.

Discussion Topics from This Episode* Practicing the presence of God in ordinary moments * The emotional impact of constant stimulation * Why high-achieving women often struggle with silence * Internal criticism, perfectionism, and vulnerability * Creating rhythms of rest instead of cycles of burnout * How Jesus modeled retreat, prayer, and solitude

Mentioned in This EpisodeThe Ruthless Elimination of HurryA powerful book exploring how hurry, distraction, and overload are shaping modern spiritual life — and practical ways to slow down and reconnect with God.

Tatum is in the trenches of her first-year law school finals, so this week she's bringing back one of her most foundational episodes — and as she always says, when an oldie comes back around, trust that the Lord is bringing it back for a reason. Whether you've heard it before or this is your first time, this one is worth sitting with.

In this episode, Tatum opens up about the early years of making God the CEO of her business and introduces a new series focused on the application of faith-driven entrepreneurship — not just the information, but the lived practice.

Before diving into strategy, marketing, or business plans, she makes the case that we have to start with sobriety: freeing ourselves from the influences, distractions, and cultural pressures that pull our focus away from the Lord and onto the metrics of the world.

In this episode, Tatum covers:

• Why sobriety is the non-negotiable foundation before any business building can begin
• The story of how obedience during a season of stripping and pruning led to her most fruitful breakthroughs
• The moment she hit her first six-figure year — and why her reaction to it changed everything
• How entrepreneurship can become its own kind of intoxication
• A word for anyone being called to pioneer something new, even when it feels lonely and irrational

The 5 Substances to Detox From:

1. Success culture and performance pressure
2. Digital noise and comparison
3. Mixed mentorship
4. Materialism and metrics-based validation
5. Over-independence

Scriptures Referenced:

• 1 Peter 5:8
• 1 Thessalonians 5:6–8
• Mark 14:38

Action Step: Download the free Clarity Cleanse guide (linked in show notes) — a month-long detox plan with weekly focus areas, scriptures, action steps, and prayer points to help you build the sober, focused foundation your business needs.

In this episode, we continue our book club series on The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer, wrapping up the final chapter of Part Two and covering the intermission that sets the stage for Part Three.

We open with one of the most convicting observations in the book: Jesus was rarely — if ever — in a hurry. Through stories like the raising of Lazarus and the healing of Jairus's daughter, the author paints a picture of a Savior who was fiercely present, completely unhurried, and never agitated by interruption. That kind of peace has a name we hear a lot today: a regulated central nervous system. In this episode, we break down what that actually means, share some eye-opening data about how many of us are functioning in a state of chronic stress, and then make the case that Jesus didn't just model a regulated nervous system — He modeled something that surpasses the very standard modern science is striving toward.

We then dig into the concept of margin — the space between your load and your limits — and get practical about what it looks like to actually build it into your life. From contingency planning and backup childcare to protecting your mornings and setting an evening shutdown time, this episode gets real about what margin looks like for busy women wearing multiple hats.

From there, we explore the trellis metaphor: just as a trellis gives a vine the structure it needs to grow and bear fruit, a rule of life gives your walk with Jesus the structure it needs to actually take root. We talk about why Jesus must be the center — not career, not motherhood, not success — and how the structures we build either support or undermine that priority.

We close out with the intermission from the book, which sets up Part Three by distinguishing between discipline and spiritual discipline — and why the latter gives you access to a power that willpower alone simply cannot reach.

In this episode:

• Why Jesus is the ultimate example of a regulated nervous system (and then some)
• What nervous system dysregulation actually looks like — and the stats that prove it's a public health issue
• The difference between a full schedule and a hurried one
• How to create a contingency plan so that life's interruptions don't blow up your whole week
• What a "rule of life" is and why it started in the monastery, not Silicon Valley
• The trellis metaphor and why structure isn't the enemy of freedom — it's the path to it
• How to approach the four Gospels the same way you'd read a biography of someone you admire
• Willpower vs. spiritual discipline: why one gets you so far and the other gets you to Jesus

In this episode, Tatum unpacks the difference between selfish ambition and godly ambition, challenging listeners to examine not just what they are pursuing, but why. Through personal reflection, biblical teaching, and practical examples, she reveals how easy it is to drift into misalignment—even with good intentions.

This conversation calls you into deeper self-awareness, Spirit-led decision-making, and true wholeness, emphasizing that sustainable success in both life and business must be rooted in God.

Key Takeaways* Ambition itself is not wrong, but its source determines whether it is aligned with God. * Self-awareness is critical for identifying the true motivations behind your goals. * External success can hide internal misalignment. * Godly ambition is led by the Holy Spirit, not by outcomes, validation, or trends. * Your definition of success will evolve as you grow in faith and maturity. * True alignment requires healing from the brokenness that often drives achievement.

Scriptures Referenced* Philippians 2:3 (ESV): Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. * James 3:13–16: A warning against selfish ambition, describing it as earthly and leading to disorder. * Galatians 5:22–23: The fruit of the Spirit as evidence of a Spirit-led life.

What is Selfish Ambition?Selfish ambition is a drive rooted in:

• Ego
• Pride
• Comparison
• Control
• Brokenness
• Desire for validation

It is not always obvious. It can begin with good intentions but becomes misaligned when God is no longer the source.

What is Godly Ambition?Godly ambition is:

• Spirit-led
• Rooted in obedience
• Focused on serving God and others
• Centered on bringing God glory rather than personal recognition

The defining factor is what is driving your decisions: the Holy Spirit or your desire for results.

The Subtle Shift from Godly to Selfish AmbitionA key example shared in the episode illustrates how this shift can happen:

1. You begin in obedience and full dependence on God
2. You experience growth and positive results
3. Results slow down or decline
4. You begin seeking external solutions (trends, algorithms, validation)
5. Your source shifts from God to performance

This shift is often gradual and difficult to detect without intentional self-examination.

How to Course CorrectWhen you feel frustrated or see changes in results:

1. Pause instead of reacting impulsively
2. Take your emotions to God honestly
3. Ask:
4. Did I get off track?
5. Is there something you want me to change?
6. Wait for His response
7. Obey, whether He says to adjust or remain consistent

The goal is to remain aligned with God, not to chase outcomes.

The Root Issue: BrokennessMany forms of ambition are driven by unresolved issues such as:

• A need for validation
• Fear of lack or instability
• Desire for control
• Past wounds or trauma

Without healing, it becomes difficult to sustain a God-centered approach to success.

Measuring Your Motivation: The Fruit of the SpiritUse the fruit of the Spirit as a diagnostic tool:

• Love
• Joy
• Peace
• Patience
• Kindness
• Goodness
• Faithfulness
• Gentleness
• Self-control

If these are absent in your process or decision-making, it may indicate misalignment.

Action Step: Fast and SurrenderTatum encourages listeners to:

• Fast from 6 AM to 6 PM (if medically able)
• Spend intentional time with God
• Be honest about fears, control, and disappointment
• Invite God to address the root causes of misalignment

This is not about behavior modification but heart transformation.

Reflection Questions* What is driving my ambition right now? * Am I seeking God’s approval or external validation? * Where have I prioritized outcomes over obedience? * What unresolved issues may be influencing my goals?

Final EncouragementGod is not focused on your performance—He is focused on your heart.

Seasons of slowing down, stagnation, or even decline are not punishment. They are often invitations to return to alignment, deepen intimacy with God, and rebuild from a place of wholeness

In this episode of Blessed + Bossed Up, we continue our book club discussion of The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer, shifting from diagnosing the problem of hurry to uncovering the solution.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, burnt out, or stuck in a cycle of doing too much, this episode is your invitation to something deeper: the lifestyle of Jesus.

We explore what it truly means to follow Jesus—not just in belief, but in daily practice—and how embracing an apprenticeship mindset can transform your pace, your peace, and your purpose.

Key Takeaways:1. The Answer Isn’t More Time—It’s a New Way to LiveWe often think the solution to overwhelm is more hours in the day. But more time doesn’t fix a misaligned life—it just gives us more space to stay busy. True freedom comes from reordering our lives around God, not productivity.

2. You’re Not Just a Believer—You’re an ApprenticeTo follow Jesus is to apprentice under Him:

• Be with Jesus
• Become like Jesus
• Do what He would do

This perspective shifts your posture from control to humility, from striving to learning.

3. Your Life Reflects Your LifestyleIf you’re experiencing:

• Anxiety
• Burnout
• Constant stress
• Disconnection from God

…it’s not random. Your current systems and rhythms are producing those results.

“Every system is perfectly designed to get the results that it gets.”

4. You Can’t Want Jesus’ Life Without Adopting His LifestyleMany of us want:

• His peace
• His clarity
• His joy

…but we’re not willing to live how He lived.

Following Jesus is not compartmentalized—it’s a full-life transformation, not just Sunday behavior or spiritual moments.

5. Burnout Is a Sign You’re Living Outside of God’s DesignBurnout isn’t just exhaustion—it’s a signal.

It often means you’ve made your dwelling place somewhere God never intended.

The invitation? Come back home.

6. Stop Praying Your Will—Start Seeking HisA powerful personal story highlights how easy it is to pray what we want instead of surrendering to God’s will.

When you approach God as an apprentice—not the one in charge—you:

• Release control
• Stay open to correction
• Avoid unnecessary frustration and confusion

7. Self-Awareness Is a Spiritual DisciplineSlowing down enough to:

• Notice your reactions
• Evaluate your routines
• Check your alignment

…is key to transformation.

Self-awareness allows you to course correct in real time and grow in spiritual maturity.

8. Jesus Doesn’t Offer Escape—He Offers EquipmentLife is hard. That’s not changing.

But instead of removing the weight, Jesus teaches us how to carry it differently:

• With Him
• At His pace
• With His peace

An easy life isn’t promised—but an easy yoke is.

Practical Application:This week, begin living like an apprentice:

• Pause throughout your day and ask: “What would Jesus do?”
• Set reminders to check in with your thoughts, reactions, and stress levels
• Pay attention to moments where you feel rushed, anxious, or out of alignment
• Surrender areas where you’ve been forcing your will

Scripture Highlight:Matthew 11:28–30

“Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest…”

Final Thought:If you want the life of Jesus, you have to adopt the lifestyle of Jesus.

This isn’t about doing more—it’s about living differently.

In this episode of Blessed + Bossed Up, we continue our book club series on The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer, stepping into Part 2: The Solution.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or like there aren’t enough hours in the day, this conversation will challenge the way you think about productivity, ambition, and success.

Tatum shares a candid life update—navigating motherhood, law school, entrepreneurship, and a recent season of burnout—and how God is shifting her perspective on pace, priorities, and what success really means in this season.

This episode centers on a powerful truth: the solution to an overbusy life is not more time, but a slower, more intentional life rooted in what actually matters.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode* Why more time will not fix your overwhelm * How to simplify your business model without sacrificing success * The difference between active income and asset-based wealth * Why you do not have to follow grind culture to build a successful business * How embracing your limitations can bring peace and clarity * What it means to define success as pleasing God, not producing outcomes * How surrendering control leads to true freedom

Key Takeaways* You do not have to be rushed to be rich or successful * Every yes requires a thousand no’s—choose wisely * Your capacity is limited, and that is by design * God is not asking you to do everything, only what He assigned to you * True success is obedience to God, not money, influence, or recognition

Faith + Business InsightThis episode explores the tension between potential and limitation. While we are made in the image of God and filled with purpose, we are still human and finite.

Learning to accept both your potential and your limitations is essential to building a life and business that is sustainable, peaceful, and aligned with God’s will.

Notable Quote“You don’t have to be rushed to be rich. You don’t have to be rushed to be successful.”

In this episode of Blessed + Bossed Up, Tatum takes time to rest and recover while revisiting one of the most impactful teachings she’s shared: the God Math Formula.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or stuck in survival mode, this episode invites you to take a different approach. Instead of striving, multitasking, and trying to do everything, Tatum breaks down a faith-based framework that brings clarity, peace, and alignment.

This episode is not about doing more. It is about doing what matters most and trusting God to handle the rest.

What You’ll Learn* Why survival mode requires deeper reflection, not quick fixes * The difference between worldly peace and God’s peace * How hustle culture and internalized stress are affecting women * Why slowing down can feel uncomfortable and what God may be refining in that process * The truth about multitasking versus multiplication

The God Math FormulaConsecration + Concentration = Multiplication

Consecration (Your Responsibility)Setting your life apart for God through your daily decisions, habits, and priorities.

Key Scriptures:

Romans 12:1–2

1 Peter 1:15–16

Concentration (Your Responsibility)Maintaining focused, intentional attention on God’s will by eliminating distractions and staying aligned.

Key Scripture:

Matthew 4:1–11

Multiplication (God’s Responsibility)God expands what you offer Him beyond your natural capacity.

Key Insight:

Multitasking is not multiplication. Trying to do everything is stepping into a role that belongs to God.

Biblical Examples of God Math in Action* Mary, mother of Jesus: Her obedience positioned her to carry out God’s plan for salvation * The Shunammite woman: Her generosity led to supernatural provision * The disciples: Their obedience with limited resources led to abundance * The widow of Zarephath: Her faith in scarcity resulted in overflow

Practical ApplicationTatum outlines a realistic, faith-centered daily rhythm that includes:

• Starting the day with prayer, Scripture, and stillness
• Being intentional with family and relationships
• Working with focus and minimizing distractions
• Practicing gratitude throughout the day
• Prioritizing rest and restoration in the evening

Key takeaway:

Harmony is not about having more time. It is about being intentional with the time you already have.

Key Takeaways* Alignment is more important than activity * Peace is not the absence of chaos but the presence of God * Discipline is the key to sustainable transformation * God multiplies what you surrender and steward well

In this episode of Blessed + Bossed Up, we continue the book club discussion of The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer, exploring chapters 2 and 3. Tatum dives into the history of speed in modern culture and how technological advancement, shifting cultural values, and the rise of the attention economy have created a lifestyle of chronic busyness.

From alarm clocks and the invention of the light bulb to smartphones and social media platforms, we unpack how the modern world has conditioned us to move faster, do more, and measure productivity by output rather than spiritual depth.

But what is the real cost of this constant hurry?

This episode challenges Christian entrepreneurs and busy believers to reconsider their definition of productivity, confront the hidden addiction to digital devices, and examine whether busyness is crowding out intimacy with God.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, constantly rushed, or spiritually disconnected despite being productive, this conversation will help you recognize the deeper root of the problem—and prepare you for the solutions coming in the next episode.

In This Episode We Discuss Why hurry is considered the greatest enemy of the spiritual life * The historical shift from natural rhythms to artificial schedules * How the invention of the light bulb and industrial work culture changed sleep and productivity * The cultural shift from leisure as wealth to busyness as status * The decline of Sabbath practices in modern society * How the digital age and smartphones fuel distraction and addiction * The psychology behind the attention economy * The concept of “hurry sickness”* and its symptoms * How constant busyness can damage our spiritual health * Why redefining productivity is essential for believers

Key Takeaways1. Modern life is built around speed—not soul care.

Historically, people lived according to natural rhythms—waking with the sun and resting after sunset. Today, alarm clocks, work schedules, and digital connectivity push us into an artificial pace that our bodies and spirits were never designed for.

2. Busyness has become a status symbol.

Where wealth once meant leisure and rest, modern culture celebrates packed calendars, long work hours, and constant productivity.

3. Technology competes for your attention.

Smartphones and social media platforms are intentionally designed to capture and keep your attention through dopamine-driven feedback loops.

4. Hurry isn’t just stressful—it’s spiritual.

When our lives move too quickly, we lose the space required for reflection, prayer, and genuine connection with God.

5. Many of us are experiencing “hurry sickness.”

This condition describes the constant feeling of being rushed, anxious about time, and trying to accomplish more in less time.

Reflection QuestionsTake a moment to sit with these questions:

• Do you feel most productive only when you’re accomplishing tasks?
• Do you struggle to rest without feeling lazy or unproductive?
• Has busyness replaced intentional time with God?
• Could your pace of life be preventing you from hearing God clearly?

Community Challenge: Digital SabbathThe episode proposes a powerful challenge inspired by the book:

Turn off your phone for 24 hours.

A digital Sabbath allows you to:

• Reset your mind
• Break compulsive phone habits
• Create space for rest and spiritual reflection

Consider trying this with the Blessed + Bossed Up community and observe what shifts in your awareness and connection with God.

What’s Coming NextThis episode focuses on diagnosing the problem of hurry. In the next episode, we’ll begin exploring the practical solutions John Mark Comer presents for slowing down and restoring spiritual health in a fast-paced world.

In this episode of Blessed + Bossed Up, Tatum kicks off the next book club series: The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer. https://amzn.to/4c9jPAK

This national bestseller, with over one million copies sold, presents a compelling spiritual and emotional case against hurry and challenges the culture of busyness that defines modern life.

For ambitious women balancing business, motherhood, marriage, leadership, and personal growth, this conversation is both timely and necessary.

Although originally planning to wait until after midterms, Tatum began rereading this book sooner because she recognized subtle signs of internal hurry resurfacing in her own life. This episode is not just a book discussion—it is a personal reset and an invitation for listeners to do the same.

In this episode, she explores:

• Why high-achieving women are especially vulnerable to chronic overload
• What current research reveals about women, stress, burnout, and time poverty
• How busyness impacts cortisol levels, sleep, hormonal balance, and long-term health
• The invisible mental load many women carry daily
• The tension between ambition and contentment
• Why hurry is incompatible with love, joy, and peace
• The foundational question raised in the book: Who am I becoming?

Drawing from both the book and her own experience in therapy, Tatum also shares practical tools that help interrupt internal hurry, including:

• Creating intentional transition time between responsibilities
• Practicing single-tasking instead of multitasking
• Scheduling real lunch breaks without scrolling
• Grounding exercises to regulate the nervous system
• Pausing in moments of rush to return to presence

One of the central themes discussed in this episode is the idea that hurry is not merely a productivity issue—it is a spiritual formation issue.

As the book argues, love, joy, and peace are core characteristics of apprenticeship to Jesus. Yet all three are incompatible with a life lived in constant speed. Presence is required for love. Stillness is required for joy. Margin is required for peace.

Tatum challenges listeners to reflect deeply:

• Who are they becoming if nothing changes?
• Has hurry negatively impacted their marriage, parenting, friendships, or worship?
• Are they rushing toward a version of success they may not even like?
• Where has busyness quietly replaced intimacy with God?

This episode also addresses a sobering reality: many Christians are not in danger of renouncing their faith—but of settling for a distracted, shallow version of it.

The invitation is clear: eliminate hurry before it eliminates depth.

Listeners are encouraged to grab a copy of The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry and follow along as the book club continues in the next episode.

Because building a successful life should never come at the cost of the soul.

If this episode resonates, share it with another ambitious woman who needs permission—and accountability—to slow down.

Tune in next week as the discussion continues.

In this episode of Blessed + Bossed Up, we’re having a sober, faith-centered conversation about artificial intelligence—what it is, how it already shows up in daily life, and how Christian entrepreneurs should engage with it wisely.

What AI Is (and why you’re already using it)AI is software trained on data to predict, recommend, recognize, or generate without being told every step. It’s embedded in:

• Google search suggestions
• Autocorrect and text prediction
• YouTube/Netflix/Spotify recommendations
• Banking fraud alerts
• Email spam filters and inbox sorting
• Face ID, photo tagging, voice-to-text

AI isn’t just ChatGPT—and it’s here to stay.

The tension people feelMany people want AI’s benefits but feel cautious about trust, jobs, privacy, and misinformation. Others either avoid it completely or rely on it too heavily.

The core boundary for believersUse AI for labor, not revelation.

Don’t use AI to interpret scripture, replace prayer, or seek direction for what God told you to build. Use it for support work—drafting, organizing, brainstorming, or saving time—without replacing dependence on the Holy Spirit. AI can easily become an idol because it’s designed to learn you and feed you what you want.

Why this is good news for entrepreneursAs AI content becomes overly polished, the market is shifting toward authentic, human-led content. People want real stories, real connection, and less perfection—meaning you don’t need “TV-level” production to show up and stand out.

Practical ways to use AI wisely* Draft captions, emails, descriptions, SEO * Repurpose audio/video into clips * Create basic graphics aligned to a brand guide * Automate simple customer support/FAQs * Streamline admin and back-office tasks

Keep the human connection: respond, engage, and make sure your voice stays present.

Closing encouragementNow is a great time to launch what God called you to—without perfection—while using AI as a tool with wisdom, restraint, and spiritual discernment.

In the previous episode, we were supposed to wrap up The Spirit-Filled Life by Charles Stanley. After waking up at 3 a.m. to record a full 57-minute episode, the final 17 minutes didn’t save. Rather than end abruptly, this episode finishes the discussion properly.

We conclude our book club conversation by examining two final spiritual markers of the Spirit-filled life:

• The Word of God
• Wisdom

We also prepare for our next book club selection: The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer. We will begin in about two weeks after midterms, so go ahead and grab your copy now.

Marker #3: The Word of GodCharles Stanley outlines three key reading principles that help believers live a Spirit-filled life.

1. Look for Principles, Not Just PromisesMany believers are promise-centered, always searching for what God will do for them. But principles are more powerful for decision-making.

A principle works like an equation:

• If you do A, expect B.
• If you ignore A, expect C.

When you consistently study the Word, those principles become ingrained. You won’t need to pause life to search for answers. The Holy Spirit will bring truth to your mind in real time.

For Christian entrepreneurs especially, this is critical. You must be able to:

• Make decisions quickly
• Maintain spiritual accuracy
• Move without paralysis

That kind of discernment only comes when the Word is already in you.

1. Read with Context — Remain NeutralOne of the most important themes of this episode is neutrality.

Do not approach Scripture trying to get something out of it. Approach it to know Him.

In an age of algorithms constantly feeding us what we already want to see, neutrality is difficult. But it is essential. Otherwise, we risk:

• Confusing digital marketing for confirmation
• Confusing algorithms for the Holy Spirit
• Reading our desires into the text instead of receiving what it actually says

When you read neutrally, you allow the Word to confront you instead of you manipulating it to support what you already want.

Neutrality produces peace, clarity, sensitivity, and maturity.

If you approach Scripture asking, “How can I get God to work for me?” you will miss it.

When you approach asking, “How can I be closer to Him?” everything changes.

1. Look for General PromisesThere are promises given to all believers for all time, including:

2. Jesus’ promise not to leave us as orphans (John 14:18)

3. Grace and mercy when we approach God (Hebrews 4:16)
4. Strength for the weary (Isaiah 40:31)

While God still speaks, He has already spoken extensively through Scripture. Personal revelation should always be filtered through biblical truth.

Approaching the Word strictly from a mystical or subjective lens is dangerous. Spiritual maturity requires emotional maturity, restraint, and accountability.

Marker #4: WisdomThe final spiritual marker of a Spirit-filled life is wisdom.

The defining question:

What is the wise thing for me to do?

Wisdom exposes hidden motives. It shines light on greed, selfishness, pride, and lust.

Wisdom goes beyond right and wrong.

Something may not be sinful — but it may still not be wise.

The Holy Spirit does not merely pull us away from sin. He keeps us far from the edge.

Walking in WisdomExamples discussed in this episode include:

• Disengaging instead of escalating when triggered
• Avoiding environments that may not be sinful but are not wise
• Listening to internal promptings before temptation escalates
• Leaving a social setting when wisdom says it is time to go

The Spirit-filled life is not about seeing how close you can get to the line without crossing it. It is about walking wisely and staying far from the brink.

The Three-Dimensional Wisdom QuestionWhen making decisions, ask:

1. What is the wise thing to do in light of my past experience?
2. What is the wise thing to do in light of my present situation?
3. What is the wise thing to do in light of my future hopes and calling?

The Holy Spirit takes into account your history, your vulnerabilities, and your destiny. When He prompts you, it is for protection.

Ignoring wisdom can have lasting consequences.

In this episode of the Blessed + Bossed Up Book Club, we continue wrapping up The Spirit-Filled Life by Charles Stanley by exploring one of the most important markers of living in step with the Holy Spirit: the Word of God.

If you want to know what the Holy Spirit is saying, you must know what He has already said. The Bible is not just a collection of stories—it is the Holy Spirit’s thoughts on paper. It is objective, timeless truth that anchors us when our emotions, desires, and circumstances try to pull us in different directions.

In this episode, I share why Scripture is the most reliable way to discern God’s will, the difference between subjective and objective study, and how to approach the Word in a way that produces spiritual maturity. I also share personal reflections on discipleship, parenting, and how God uses everyday moments to redirect us back to His truth.

We also announce our next Blessed + Bossed Up Book Club pick: The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer—a powerful follow-up that will help us establish a pace of life that keeps us aligned with the Spirit.

Key Takeaways* The Bible is the Holy Spirit’s most objective tool for revealing God’s will * Scripture is not just stories—it is a living, relevant, and authoritative guide for our lives * Many believers rely too heavily on subjective feelings instead of objective truth * Spiritual maturity requires balancing personal application with disciplined, objective study * Principles in Scripture provide timeless guidance for decision-making * Eliminating hurry is essential to maintaining sensitivity to the Holy Spirit * Discipleship begins at home and in everyday conversations

Scripture References* 2 Peter 1:20–21 — Scripture inspired by the Holy Spirit * Galatians 6:7 — You reap what you sow * Proverbs 13:20 — The influence of your associations * Proverbs 12:1 — Correction produces wisdom * Proverbs 12:19 — Truth endures * 2 Corinthians 9:6 — Generosity produces increase * Philippians 4:19 — God provides for His people

Book Club Announcement: Our Next ReadOur next Blessed + Bossed Up Book Club selection is:

The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer

This book addresses one of the greatest threats to our spiritual sensitivity: hurry. It will help us establish rhythms that allow us to remain emotionally healthy, spiritually alive, and aligned with God’s pace.

In this episode, Tatum shares a timely message about building spiritual muscle memory—the discipline of training your spirit to respond automatically to God, especially in seasons of pressure, warfare, and transition.

Just as physical muscle memory develops through consistent repetition, spiritual muscle memory develops through daily prayer, studying the Word, obedience, and intentional separation from environments that weaken your spiritual strength.

This episode serves as both an encouragement and a call to action for those who know they are being stretched, tested, and prepared for greater responsibility. Tatum explains why spiritual consistency—not emotional intensity—is what sustains you through seasons of elevation and opposition.

If you have been feeling pressure in multiple areas of your life, this episode will help you understand what is happening, how to respond, and how to strengthen your spiritual posture so you can stand firm in what God has called you to do.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:* What spiritual muscle memory is and why it matters * Why spiritual disciplines must become automatic, not occasional * How consistent prayer strengthens your spiritual resilience * The difference between repetition and quality repetition in spiritual growth * Why studying and understanding scripture deeply increases its effectiveness in your life * How environments and habits can either strengthen or weaken your spiritual position * The importance of accountability in maintaining spiritual discipline * How to proactively prepare for seasons of elevation and opposition

Key Concepts DiscussedSpiritual Muscle Memory

Training your spirit to respond to God automatically through consistent prayer, scripture study, and obedience.

Quality Repetition

Not just hearing the Word, but studying it, writing it down, understanding it, and applying it so it becomes embedded within you.

Proactive Spiritual Discipline

Building strength before crisis occurs so your response is rooted in truth, not emotion.

Separation and Protection

Removing yourself from environments and habits that weaken your spiritual clarity and authority.

Accountability and Spiritual Covering

Strengthening your spiritual consistency through prayer partnerships and community.

Scripture Referenced* Ephesians 6:13–17 — The Armor of God * James 5:16 — “The prayer of the righteous is powerful and effective.” * Ephesians 6:12 — Spiritual warfare is not against flesh and blood

Practical Ways to Build Spiritual Muscle Memory* Pray daily and consistently * Study and write down scripture to deepen understanding * Put on the armor of God intentionally * Remove yourself from environments that weaken your discipline * Establish accountability through prayer partnerships or community * Meditate on the Word so it becomes your automatic response

Reflection Questions* What spiritual disciplines have become inconsistent in your life? * Where is God calling you to strengthen your spiritual foundation? * What environments, habits, or distractions may be weakening your spiritual clarity? * What daily practices can you implement to build spiritual muscle memory?

In this episode of Blessed and Bossed Up, Tatum reframes commitment from a biblical perspective. Rather than defining commitment as discipline, motivation, or consistency, she defines it as spiritual restraint—the willingness to restrict your freedom of action in order to fully submit to God’s way.

This teaching explores why commitment is a distinguishing mark of believers and how inconsistent restraint can quietly lead us from dependence on the Holy Spirit into self-sufficiency.

Episode Highlights* A biblical definition of commitment as restraint * Why commitment is a marker of spiritual maturity * How good intentions can still lead to compromise * The difference between good ideas and God ideas * Why God cares about how we start, continue, and finish

Biblical Foundation: Asa and Jehoshaphat (2 Chronicles)Tatum examines the lives of King Asa and King Jehoshaphat to show how waning commitment and partial obedience produced long-term consequences.

Both kings were generally faithful but inconsistent in restraint:

• Asa obeyed God early in his reign but later relied on alliances rather than the Lord.
• Jehoshaphat followed God in major decisions but compromised in daily and strategic ones.

Their stories reveal that partial obedience and strategic compromise can open doors we never intended to open.

The Five Core Competencies of CommitmentCommitment to the Lord should be distinguishable. These five competencies serve as markers of true spiritual commitment:

1. A Clear and Clean Heart
2. Commitment begins with the inner condition of the heart. Unaddressed pride, bitterness, anger, and self-reliance hinder obedience.
3. Scriptures: Matthew 5:8; 1 Samuel 16:7
4. Courage
5. Courage is the spiritual strength to obey God despite fear, risk, or opposition. Obedience often requires moving forward without certainty.
6. Scripture: Joshua 1:9
7. Diligence
8. Diligence is steady, faithful obedience over time. Longevity in calling, business, and ministry is built on faithfulness, not motivation.
9. Scripture: Proverbs 21:5
10. Precision
11. Precision means doing exactly what God said—no more and no less. Dependence on God is required to walk out assignments with accuracy.
12. Contentment
13. Contentment is an inner sufficiency rooted in trust in God’s sovereignty, independent of external circumstances.
14. Scriptures: Philippians 4:11–13; 1 Timothy 6:6–8

Faith and Human BehaviorResearch shows that commitment bridges the gap between intention and action. Many people struggle not because they lack desire, but because they lack commitment.

This biblical framework for commitment not only produces consistency in action, but also spiritual fruit, deeper intimacy with God, and alignment with His will.

Closing ThoughtCommitment is not about productivity alone. It is about pleasing the Father, finishing the assignment, and stewarding the life God entrusted to us.

In this episode of Blessed + Bossed Up, we continue our book club discussion of The Spirit-Filled Life by Charles Stanley, wrapping up Part Three of the book. These final chapters focus on the spiritual markers the Holy Spirit uses to confirm God’s will—and today’s conversation dives into the first two: peace and the conscience.

Tatum unpacks why peace is often the first and clearest indicator that the Holy Spirit is either affirming or resisting a decision. Through a powerful story from Charles Stanley’s own ministry—where waiting on God led to a debt-free miracle—this episode challenges the tendency to panic, self-rely, or rationalize disobedience when God seems silent.

The episode also includes several personal testimonies illustrating how the absence or presence of peace has guided major life decisions, from entrepreneurship and ministry to relationships and family choices. These stories highlight that spiritual maturity is not a prerequisite for the Holy Spirit to lead—He speaks from the very beginning of our walk with God.

In the second half of the episode, the discussion turns to Stanley’s second marker: the conscience. While acknowledging the biblical framework presented in the book, Tatum offers honest reflection and thoughtful critique, questioning whether the conscience should be treated as a distinct marker separate from the Holy Spirit’s work of renewing the mind. This portion of the conversation invites listeners into deeper discernment, encouraging them to study Scripture, pray intentionally, and test what resonates with the Spirit.

The episode closes with practical reflection questions from the book to help listeners evaluate decisions they may be facing—especially when peace seems unclear or external advice conflicts with inner conviction.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, listen closely, and trust that the Holy Spirit is actively leading—even when His direction doesn’t make logical sense

Today’s episode is a special one—Tatum sits down with Raevyn Hokett, a longtime friend and fan-favorite guest who first entered Tatum’s life as her business coach back in 2014, helping her transition from employee to full-time entrepreneur. Their relationship has grown over the years into genuine friendship (Tatum even officiated Raevyn and her husband Tim’s wedding!), and in this conversation they go deep on what it really means to build a legacy God’s way.

Together, they unpack legacy and longevity in entrepreneurship, how to steward influence and resources, and why “doing business God’s way” often includes wilderness seasons that teach dependence, humility, and true alignment.

Want to watch the interview? This episode is also available on YouTube (link in the show notes).

In This Episode, We Talk About Why Raevyn is an OG guest and always a listener favorite * What legacy looks like when you’re building with eternity in mind * The difference between being self-made vs. submitted to God * How success without God can become a “cocktail for danger” * Learning to trust God in manna seasons—daily provision and dependency * When obedience doesn’t look like immediate overflow * The moment God told Raevyn to shut down a lucrative coaching business * How God uses closed doors as protection (including a major 2020 “dodged bullet”) * How spiritual gifts (especially prophecy + discernment) protect and guide in business * Why business models must evolve—and how God leads transitions ahead of time * Guarding your gates: distraction, comparison, AI “busy work,” and spiritual compromise * The power of abiding*—stillness, hearing God, and resisting hustle culture

Resource Mentioned + Listener DiscountRaevyn is currently offering Rich Disciples Academy, specifically the Calling to Cash Flow Starter Kit, designed to help believers turn their God-given calling into sustainable income.

In this episode of Blessed + Bossed Up, the host continues the book club series with The Spirit-Filled Life by Charles Stanley, covering Chapters 13 and 14, which focus on the Holy Spirit’s role in guidance, decision-making, sensitivity, and neutrality before God.

The episode opens with an invitation to the Clarity Reset, a free two-week challenge inside The Society, designed to help participants realign their capacity, priorities, and spiritual focus by slowing down rather than adding more.

Episode Highlights: Why many people struggle due to lack of clarity—not discipline or work ethic * How busyness and goal-driven living can dull spiritual sensitivity * The Holy Spirit as a guide, not a controller * Four key truths about the Holy Spirit: * He guides * He is trustworthy * He is God’s mouthpiece to believers * The Holy Spirit speaks* * Real-life examples of Spirit-led guidance in parenting, career decisions, and resisting distractions * Why God cares about both major and seemingly small decisions * The importance of recognizing and trusting how the Holy Spirit communicates personally

Chapter 14 Focus: The Principle of Neutrality* Why God often remains silent when believers approach Him with fixed agendas * The danger of asking God to bless plans already made * How emotional attachment can distort discernment * Why worship helps cultivate neutrality and clarity * How misplaced faith in promises God never made leads to disappointment * The connection between neutrality, obedience, and peace

Key Takeaway:Clarity comes from sensitivity, and sensitivity grows when believers approach God with a neutral heart—willing to release their own agendas and fully submit to His will.

In this episode, I’m joined by my friend and podcast fave Kristen Hopkins Vincent—and yes, we’re talking about the Vincent part today! Kristen returns with powerful updates on her life (she’s a wife and a mom now!) and on the incredible work happening through Black SEL.

We dig into Kristen’s transition from Dangers of the Mind to Black SEL, why culturally-rooted social and emotional learning is essential for Black communities, and what it looks like to build a mission-driven organization with radical obedience to God. Kristen shares moments where obedience didn’t make sense—like moving forward with a major conference during a hurricane—and how God confirmed the vision through provision, research, and undeniable fruit.

We also talk about the very real emotions that come up when you’re following God’s timing: shame, guilt, feeling unseen, and learning how to embrace seasons of being hidden. And Kristen’s testimony around marriage and motherhood is such a needed reminder: it’s not too late, and God is always intentional.

Before we get into it: Kristen and her husband received the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award—and she forgot to mention it in the conversation because that’s what happens when you’re focused on obedience and doing the Lord’s work.

In this episode, we cover: What Black SEL is and why it’s necessary * Kristen’s transition from Dangers of the Mind to launching a nonprofit * The 5 core competencies of social-emotional learning (and how Black SEL frames them) * Why SEL must be culturally affirming to truly serve Black students and communities * Building “God’s way” vs. building in your own might * The difference between a “me” assignment and a “we” assignment * Navigating shame, guilt, and the pressure to be seen * Seasons where God hides you—and why that protection matters * Kristen’s hurricane conference testimony and how God made the way * The research that revealed how little SEL scholarship centers Black communities * Waiting on God for marriage and motherhood—and what it means to pray for alignment with your assignment * A word for the woman juggling purpose, business, love, and obedience * “The position of your mind determines the posture of your life*”

In this bonus episode, we officially pick back up our book club read of The Spirit-Filled Life by Charles Stanley after pausing in Q4 due to major life transitions, including starting law school and welcoming a new baby. The goal now is simple: finish the book together and apply it practically as we move into a new year.

If you are new to the book club, all previous episodes are linked in the show notes, along with the link to purchase the book. This remains one of my top Christian books of all time and one I believe should be reread regularly, especially at the beginning of the year.

Today’s Focus: Chapter 11 — Doing God’s Work God’s WayWhile this episode technically covers Chapters 11 and 12, the primary focus is Chapter 11. Chapter 12 largely reiterates themes already covered earlier in the book regarding the Holy Spirit, so today’s discussion centers on what it truly looks like to build, work, and live by God’s Spirit rather than our own strength.

The chapter opens with Zechariah 4:6–7:

“Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord of hosts.”

Using the story of Zerubbabel rebuilding the temple, Charles Stanley reminds us that:

• God knows we will face opposition
• God does not always remove obstacles
• God prepares us instead
• Self-sufficiency is often the greatest opposition

This scripture is a critical anchor for anyone building a business, pursuing goals, or stepping into God-ordained work.

No Separation Between Spiritual and Secular WorkColossians 3:23–24 reminds us that “whatever you do” is service to the Lord. God does not divide life into sacred and secular categories. Your job, business, career, and daily responsibilities are all part of your calling.

Even in environments where faith cannot be openly expressed, excellence, humility, integrity, and Spirit-dependence still glorify God. Your work ethic and posture can be a bridge to someone who may never step into a church.

Two Ways to Approach God’s WorkDoing God’s work in the flesh looks like:

• relying on skill, experience, influence, and strategy
• planning first and asking God to bless it later
• measuring success by numbers, money, or visibility
• operating in stress, pressure, and control

Doing God’s work by the Spirit looks like:

• beginning with dependency
• hearing from God before planning
• remaining flexible and surrendered
• allowing God to receive the glory

God’s work done God’s way carries an unmistakable mark. It produces transformation, not just emotional stimulation or surface-level success.

Five Indicators You’re Doing God’s Work God’s WayAccording to Charles Stanley, Spirit-led work is marked by:

1. Knowing the work will fail if God does not intervene
2. Seeing God as your only true source
3. Looking for evidence of the Spirit’s intervention
4. Living without chronic stress
5. Spending more time thanking God than asking Him

If these are not currently descriptive of you, that is not condemnation—it is an invitation to course-correct.

Final EncouragementThis episode is especially timely for the beginning of the year, when many of us are setting goals and making plans. If you started the year operating in the flesh, now is the time to bring those plans back to God, repent of self-sufficiency, and realign your posture.

Write these five indicators down. Keep Zechariah 4:6 somewhere visible. Check yourself often and intentionally choose to do God’s work God’s way.

We have two more bonus episodes to finish the book before moving on to our next book club pick.

In this episode of Blessed + Bossed Up, Tatum sits down with one of our favorites, Pastor Tiffany Soa, for a real and raw conversation about what it actually looks like to depend on God in business, ministry, and life.

The last time Tiffany was on the show was in 2020. Since then, everything has changed: she’s become Pastor Tiffany, married, relocated twice (from Philly to North Carolina and now living full-time in Ghana), shifted from multi–six-figure consulting to full-time ministry, and has walked through some of the hardest financial and emotional seasons of her life.

In Part 1 of this conversation, Tatum and Tiffany talk about the Bible on Business journey, the difference between worldly “Christian-branded” strategies and truly building from the Word, and the uncomfortable reality of learning to really depend on God when everything in you wants to lean on hustle, self-reliance, or what looks “practical” on paper.

Tiffany shares how God:

• Took her from a busy life in Philly as a property owner and multi–six-figure business owner
• Led her to North Carolina for a softer, more peaceful lifestyle and deeper feminine identity
• Began quietly preparing her heart to slow down in business and ramp up in ministry
• Used isolation, relocation, and hidden seasons to cultivate boldness, honesty, and a lifestyle of obedience

They also talk about:

• Growing up in church vs. actually forming a personal relationship with God
• How Catalyst Church in Philly became Tiffany’s training ground for intercession, obedience, and spiritual maturity
• Why accountability, therapy, and spiritual covering matter so much when you’re hungry for God
• The danger of consuming only digital, “sound bite” faith and how to slow down and discern voices online
• Why wanting “more” (peace, better quality of life, financial freedom, the ability to be a kingdom financier) isn’t wrong—but must be submitted to God

This conversation is a masterclass in counting the cost, moving when God says move, and allowing Him to reshape your identity beyond hustle, proximity-based friendships, and public success.

Stay tuned for Part 2, where they dig into what happened when Tiffany’s business unraveled, the reality of manna seasons, grief in transitions, and how God used it all to expand her global ministry and birth the Prayerthon.

In this episode of Blessed + Bossed Up, Tatum continues the Bible on Business series with a sobering reminder: faith does not replace fundamentals. Yes, we pray, fast, and follow God’s leading—but we also have to be good stewards who understand the basic building blocks of business. Tatum walks you through what it really means to count the cost (Luke 14:28–30) and breaks down the core fundamentals every God-led entrepreneur needs in place so you’re not just starting things… you’re able to sustain and scale them with integrity.

In This Episode, We Cover: Why “being super saved” isn’t enough to build a sustainable business * – How many Christian entrepreneurs skip the unglamorous fundamentals and then blame God for what’s really mismanagement. * Exegesis of Luke 14:28–30 * – What Jesus meant when He said to count the cost before building. * – How this applies directly to launching and running a business in 2025 and beyond. * Faith + Fundamentals = Fruit that Lasts * – Why spiritual disciplines (prayer, fasting, obedience) must be paired with practical disciplines (planning, numbers, systems). * – How to avoid building businesses that look spiritual on the surface but are structurally weak underneath. * The Core Fundamentals Every Business Needs * Tatum breaks down “Business 101” in simple, God-first language: 1. Executive Summary – Your God-given assignment in business and what you’re really here to do. 2. Market Research – How to stop guessing and actually understand your industry + the people you’re called to serve. 3. Products & Services – Clarifying what you’re selling and how it solves a real problem. 4. Marketing & Sales Plan – Why “posting on social” isn’t a strategy and how to think in terms of your customer’s journey. 5. Operations Plan – Systems, structure, and stewardship so your business can function without chaos. 6. Financial Plan – Startup costs, pricing, margins, and budgeting so you’re not “successful” online but broke in real life. 7. Risk & Legal Structure – Why you need professional counsel (attorney + accountant) and can’t skip this step. * How Fundamentals Protect Your Witness * – Why half-finished projects, abandoned brands, and messy business practices misrepresent the God you claim to serve. * – How counting the cost upfront protects your name and* His.

Episode summary:

Today we kick off a new how-to series answering a listener’s question: “I study what you teach, but I still feel stuck.” Tatum lays the foundation—sobriety of mind and spirit—so you can actually apply the Bible to your business. She shares her pruning season (fasting, laying down a growing business, guarding inputs), why entrepreneurship can be intoxicating, and how to detox the influences that dull your sensitivity to the Holy Spirit. You’ll get a free 30-day Clarity Cleanse to practice sober-minded focus before we ever talk funnels, launches, or plans.

Join The Society (community + Bible studies + prayer): https://www.blessedandbossedup.com/community

Scriptures referenced 1 Peter 5:8 – Be sober-minded and watchful. * 1 Thessalonians 5:6–8 – Stay awake and sober; breastplate of faith and love. * Mark 14:38 – Watch and pray; spirit willing, flesh weak. * (Also mentioned across the episode: Romans 12:2; Philippians 4:8; 2 Corinthians 10:5; Psalm 119:37; Matthew 6:22; Psalm 139:23–24; Matthew 6:33; Proverbs 16:3*)

Key takeaways Clarity precedes strategy. If you’re not sober-minded, you’ll chase metrics and momentum instead of God’s voice. * “With” not “for.” You’re building with God as CEO—His timing, His blueprint, His outcomes. * Guard your inputs. Influence creep is subtle: self-help replaces Scripture, “quick wins” replace consecration. * Two paths. Mixed mentorship + hurry = wasted time and money; obedience in His timing = preserved energy, precise results, lasting fruit. * Kingdom metrics ≠ vanity metrics.* Success = pleasing God. Revenue follows revelation in due season.

5 intoxicating influences to detox1. Success culture & performance pressure 2. Digital noise & comparison 3. Mixed mentorship (many voices before The Voice) 4. Materialism & metrics-based validation 5. Over-independence (DIY vs. dependence on God)

The Clarity Cleanse (30 days)A free, simple month of daily Scripture, reflection, declarations, and prayer to detox the mind, mouth, media, and motives so you can hear clearly and obey promptly.

A listener wrote in after the Bible on Business series saying they’re inspired, but struggle to get the same revelation when reading the Bible on their own—and don’t know how to apply it to business. That honest question surfaced a real gap between hearing and doing, which Tatum will address with a brand-new, step-by-step practical series on building a business with God today (not 2017).

Before the series starts next episode, we’re reposting this foundational teaching to set perspective: revelation isn’t just for revenue—it’s for building eternally sound work that will withstand God’s testing. Listen with fresh ears, take notes, and get ready for a practical “how” series starting next.

Episode SummaryTatum frames business-building through 1 Corinthians 3:13–15: everything we build will be tried by fire, revealing whether it was constructed on Christ or on straw. She walks through the tension between earthly success and eternal reward, invites honest heart work (contentment, motives, obedience), and gives a practical inspection checklist to evaluate what you’re building—so it lasts.

Anchor Scripture 1 Corinthians 3:13–15 — God’s fire reveals the quality of our work; only what’s built on Christ endures. * Also referenced: 1 Cor. 3:11, 2 Cor. 5:10, Matthew 6:19–20, Galatians 6:9, James 1:12, Mark 10:45, Hebrews 11:6, 2 Timothy 4:8, 1 Peter 5:4, 1 Thessalonians 2:19, Romans 6:23, John 3:16, Revelation 21:4, 1 Corinthians 15:42, 52*.

Key Themes Perspective reset: We’re not only building for launches and KPIs—we’re building for Judgment Day. * Foundation matters: Only Christ is a durable foundation (1 Cor. 3:11). * Eternal rewards: Salvation is by grace; rewards relate to faithfulness and obedience. * Heart inspection: Contentment, motives, service, perseverance, and faith over sight. * From revelation to practice:* The upcoming series will translate Scripture → systems, decisions, and daily leadership.

Checklist (from the episode)Ask and answer honestly—by your actions, not lip service:

1. Foundation: Is this truly built on Jesus—or on trends, ambition, and metrics?
2. Faithfulness & Obedience: Are your policies, leadership, and operations aligned with Scripture (not just intuition)?
3. Service vs. Sales: Are you serving the people you’re called to, or merely selling? (Mark 10:45)
4. Fruit: Do your processes reflect God’s character (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control)?
5. Perseverance: Do you endure God-assignments when it’s hard, or quit? (Gal. 6:9; James 1:12)
6. Faith in Practice: Do you operate by faith, not sight—especially when results lag? (Heb. 11:6; 2 Cor. 5:7)

Reflection Prompts If God’s plan looked nothing like your vision board, would you still follow Him? * Where is contentment still being formed in you? * Which part of your business would burn under testing—and why? * What one policy or practice* can you realign to Scripture this week?

Tatum answers your submitted questions on (1) what to do when you feel like you’re not hearing from God, (2) discerning whether a pivot is Spirit-led, and (3) how to pursue higher education as a wife, mom, and entrepreneur—plus why she said “yes” to law school. Expect practical rhythms, biblical anchors, and real-life systems that protect your peace, family, and focus.

Topics & Timestamps (from listener questions) [0:27] What do you do when you feel like you are not hearing from God? * [15:18] How do you know when something is (or should be) a Spirit-led pivot? * [21:11] What made you pursue law school? * [31:52]* Advice for a mom, wife, and entrepreneur pursuing higher education

Key Takeaways When God feels “quiet,” first lower the noise: reduce information overload, step back from social feeds, and create space to hear His still, small voice. Watch for personal “warning lights” (anxiety, irritability, impatience) that signal it’s time to unplug and recentre. * Sometimes silence is intentional—a season to apply what He already taught you. Keep communing with God, act in obedience, and recognize His hand even when He isn’t verbose. * Discerning a Spirit-led pivot: * Scripture check—God will not contradict His Word. * History with God—does this align with recent themes in prayer, journaling, and conviction? * Wise counsel + practical confirmations—agreement from trusted voices and doors God opens. * Order matters—obedience first, clarity often follows. * Pursuing school as a mompreneur: count the cost, build the team, design systems. * Scale business responsibly, design childcare that gives peace of mind, and budget with realistic/committed revenue. * Protect mind, body, and spirit: fuel with protein-forward meals, rest when your body says pause, and use tools that lower cognitive load. * Tools Tatum loves for study & life design: * Google Notebook to turn class notes into podcasts, videos, quizzes, flashcards, and mind maps. * A custom “LifeOS”* in ChatGPT trained on syllabi, calendars, and family logistics to auto-draft weekly plans.

Scriptures & Biblical Themes Mentioned God speaking in a still small voice (1 Kings 19:11–13) * Fruit of the Spirit as behavioural gauge (Galatians 5:22–23) * Abraham’s move as a model for faith steps (Genesis 12) * Counting the cost before building (Luke 14:28) * Spirit-led redirection* in Acts (e.g., Acts 16)

Tatum opens the episode reflecting on her recent midterm fatigue and decision to take a mental health day. She thanks listeners for their patience and reminds them that the podcast is a ministry, not a job. This space is about service — not clout, income, or obligation.

“Part of taking what God entrusts to us seriously is knowing when we don’t have it to give — and honoring that.”

[1:56] Listener Q&A IntroductionAfter receiving dozens of thoughtful questions from her audience, Tatum shares that she’ll be answering them over two upcoming episodes. She also hints at bringing back past guests whose lives and testimonies have evolved since their first appearance.

[3:02] Question 1: Why Does It Feel Like Everyone Else Is Getting Blessed But Me?A listener in her 30s shares feelings of discouragement watching others get married, have children, and advance in their careers while she continues to wait on God.

Scripture Focus: Philippians 4:10–13 (NLT)

“I have learned how to be content with whatever I have… for I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.”

Highlights:

• [4:26] Paul’s contentment wasn’t rooted in circumstances, but in Christ.
• [6:02] The enemy often exploits waiting seasons to sow doubt and comparison.
• [7:29] Protect your vulnerabilities — unfollow triggers, set digital boundaries.
• [9:18] Learn to desire the Giver more than the gift.
• [10:11] Tatum shares how she met her husband in God’s timing, not her own.
• [13:18] Create “safeguards of contentment” through prayer, scripture, and boundaries.

Key Takeaway:

True peace in waiting comes when your fulfillment is anchored in God’s presence, not His performance.

[15:23] Question 2: How Do I Set Boundaries as a Mom Starting a Business?A listener asks for guidance on balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship without losing focus on God’s purpose.

Highlights:

• [16:30] The first boundary to establish is with yourself.
• [17:05] Balance is a myth — pursue harmony through alignment with God.
• [18:30] Tatum’s 3 personal boundaries:
• Stay connected to the Vine (John 15).
• Keep priorities in divine order.
• Do every assignment with excellence.
• [21:07] Boundaries are about stewardship, not restriction.

Spiritual Insight:

“Your ambition should never come at the expense of your assignment at home.”

[22:22] Bonus Segment: God-Led Business StrategyTatum shifts into strategist mode, walking listeners through how to build a business from the ground up with divine order and practicality.

Highlights:

• [23:28] Start with a clear business plan — use SBA.gov templates.
• [24:31] Validate your idea before marketing it.
• [25:47] Businesses fail when they don’t solve real problems.
• [26:30] Marketing is a byproduct of strategy, not the starting point.

Takeaway:

Build from the blueprint God gives you — not the algorithm’s trends.

[27:00] Question 3: How Did You Stay Focused When People Doubted You?A listener who recently quit her 9–5 asks how to stay steadfast when others question her calling.

Highlights:

• [28:01] Tatum recalls the doubtful reactions when she left her job to start Anchored Media.
• [28:48] How she turned fear into fuel by focusing on work, not validation.
• [29:58] The importance of a supportive community of faith-driven entrepreneurs.
• [31:09] Stay quiet about your progress — let the fruit speak.

Key Takeaway:

“When God gives you the vision, He’ll also give you the proof — but you have to build first.”

[32:32] Question 4: Preparing for Motherhood as a Married EntrepreneurA listener asks how to spiritually and practically prepare for motherhood while running a business.

Highlights:

• [33:48] Create a relationship bucket list — enjoy your marriage before kids.
• [36:02] Build rhythms of connection (weekly date nights, intentional check-ins).
• [36:41] Individual and joint therapy before kids is an act of preparation, not repair.
• [38:07] Men need emotional support too — they carry provision pressure.
• [39:29] Protect your marriage from being consumed by parenthood.
• [40:46] Create a “Happy List” for postpartum joy and mental health support.
• [42:59] Audit your business:
• Increase passive income streams
• Automate workflows
• Cut unnecessary costs
• [45:37] Make your business lean for freedom — not pressure.

Key Takeaway:

“Motherhood should multiply your grace, not your chaos. Prepare now so peace leads the transition.”

In this honest check-in, I share why I’m temporarily shifting from two episodes a week while juggling law school, newborn life, and midterms—and I re-air one of your most requested episodes: Rhythm over Routine. We close out the “How to Make Spirit-Led Business Decisions” mini-series with a practical framework for building a business in step with the Spirit, not driven by hustle or ego. If you’ve ever felt productive yet disconnected from God, this one will set you free.

What You’ll Learn The difference between routine (checkbox faith) and rhythm (daily dependence) * Why “keeping in step with the Spirit” (Galatians 5:16–26) is a lifestyle, not a morning checklist * The 4-part framework: Abide → Align → Act → Assess * How digital distraction, time scarcity, and information overload sabotage intimacy with God—and what to do about it * Practical ways to reduce noise* (limits, notifications, sacred windows) and protect your secret place * How to evaluate fruit and course-correct with grace (not performance)

Key Scriptures Galatians 5:16–26 – Walk by the Spirit; fruit of the Spirit; keep in step * John 15:5 – Abiding in the Vine to bear fruit * Luke 10:38–42 – Martha vs. Mary (routine vs. rhythm) * Exodus 16 – Daily manna: dependence over hoarding * Mark 1:35; John 5:19* – Jesus’ pace and posture: presence over pressure

The Rhythm Framework (Quick Reference) Abide: Guard intimacy with God; create sacred windows; reduce digital noise. * Align: Test ideas, opportunities, and pivots against Scripture, God’s character, and the peace of the Spirit. * Act: Move with faith and flexibility—be interruptible and obedient. * Assess:* Measure fruit (Gal. 5:22–23), review outcomes with the Spirit, and course-correct as needed.

Practical Tips Mentioned Put time limits on social apps; silence non-essential notifications. * Try an information fast (step back from extra voices/content). * Schedule sacred windows (daily/weekly) for prayer, stillness, and listening. * Run decisions through discernment filters*: Scripture consistency, peace, timing, assignment fit.

Series Recap (Parts 1–3) Part 1: Acts 8:26–40 — Strategic decisions led by the Holy Spirit * Part 2: Acts 13:1–4 — Worship, fasting, submission → divine clarity * Part 3:* Acts 16:6–10 — Mobility and flexibility in Spirit-led pivots

Q&AI’m lining up Q&A episodes to pour out what God’s been teaching me during this season.

In this week’s episode of Blessed and Bossed Up, we’re continuing our Bible on Business series by unpacking the power of holy boldness through the lens of Acts 4:13–22. As Christian entrepreneurs, we are called to do more than just add scripture to our captions—we are called to build businesses that reflect the character of Christ and disrupt worldly systems with Kingdom values.

This episode digs deep into what it truly means to be bold, not in a self-glorifying or performative way, but with a courage that is empowered by the Holy Spirit. We define boldness biblically, exploring its Greek root (parrēsia) and how it shows up in the lives of Peter and John as they stand before the Sanhedrin with confidence and conviction.

Tatum also brings in Numbers 30 to confront how many of us mask passiveness as patience or humility when it is actually disobedience. You’ll walk away from this episode with the clarity to recognize whether your hesitation is humility or hidden fear, and the spiritual tools to begin choosing obedience over comfort.

Other key takeaways:

• The biblical definition of boldness and how to cultivate it
• The difference between boldness, pride, and ego
• What happens when we confuse self-glorification with Spirit-led courage
• Why passiveness is not humility—and how to confront it in yourself
• Examples of modern-day Kingdom businesses that disrupt worldly systems
• The connection between time with Jesus and confidence in your calling
• How boldness helps you become a witness, not just an entrepreneur

This is a must-listen episode for anyone who is tired of playing it safe and ready to boldly obey what God has already told them to do.

We pick the book club back up with Part II (“Looking Within”) of The Spirit-Filled Life by Dr. Charles Stanley. Tatum recaps the biblical foundation of the Holy Spirit’s indwelling (for all believers at salvation) versus His influencing (our moment-by-moment leading). Building on the recent Internal Harmony series, she explains that walking by the Spirit is not distant, rule-based “directions,” but a close, personal leading—a lifestyle of sensitivity, dependence, and cooperation. You’ll learn why the Spirit’s primary goal is to form Christ-likeness, how to fight the “battle before the battle” in your mind, and why Scripture is the Holy Spirit’s weapon of choice (the sword of the Spirit) for dismantling lies, speculations, and flesh-driven desires. Tatum shares practical examples from entrepreneurship and life, showing how obedience positions us to avoid unnecessary suffering and walk into God’s wise, timely provision. Grab your copy: https://amzn.to/4mSGGTN

Key Takeaways Indwelt & Led: All believers receive the Holy Spirit at salvation; the ongoing call is to be led by Him (Gal. 5:16, 18, 25). * Rhythm > Routine: Don’t confine God to a devotional “director’s chair.” Cultivate a moment-by-moment rhythm with Him. * Holiness is the Goal: The Spirit’s primary work is Christ-likeness, not quick answers about jobs, money, or moves. * Battle Before the Battle: Win the mental war first—guard thoughts, take them captive, and preoccupy your mind with truth. * Scripture = Sword: Use specific verses to confront specific lies; memorize and speak them out loud. * Focus Forms Direction:* “What we focus on, we drift toward.” Set your mind on the Spirit to avoid fulfilling the flesh.

Scripture References Galatians 5:16, 18, 25 — Walk/keep in step with the Spirit * Ephesians 5:18 — Filled with the Spirit * 1 Corinthians 12:13 — One Spirit, one body * 1 John 4:13 — Assurance by His Spirit * Romans 6:11–14 — Dead to sin, alive to God * Romans 12:2 — Renew your mind * Colossians 3:2 — Set your mind on things above * Philippians 4:8 — Think on what is true * 2 Corinthians 10:5 — Take thoughts captive * 1 Peter 1:13; 3:9; 4:19 — Sober-minded, repay evil with blessing, entrust to a faithful Creator * Ephesians 6:17* — The word as the sword of the Spirit

Practical Homework 1. List Your Speculations & Struggles: Recurring daydreams, fantasies, mental loops. 2. Find Targeted Verses: Use a study Bible/concordance to match each area with Scripture. 3. Memorize & Speak Aloud: Put verses on cards, phone lock screen, mirror, or desk. Say them out loud daily. 4. Accountability: Share your list with a trusted friend and review weekly. 5. Pray for Sensitivity: Ask the Holy Spirit to flag thoughts not in harmony with truth.

In this final episode of the Internal Harmony Series, we’re tackling the “big C word” — control. Control isn’t just a personality trait; it’s a spiritual stronghold that keeps us bound, quenches the Spirit, and robs us of God’s peace.

In this episode, I share a recent testimony about what happened when I surrendered control, unpack why the Bible calls us to release it, and walk through case studies of the Rich Young Ruler and Paul to show the difference between clinging to control and living surrendered.

You’ll learn:

• Why control is a stronghold and how it quenches the Spirit (1 Thessalonians 5:19)
• How control shows up as a cognitive distortion
• The root issue of trust and how to rebuild it
• A practical Weekly Surrender Challenge to live this out

This episode will equip you to exchange control for surrender and experience the internal harmony God desires for you.

In this powerful conclusion to the Internal Harmony Series, Tatum shares what it's looked like to live in true peace while managing law school, motherhood, business, and ministry. Through personal testimony and Spirit-led insight, she unpacks the third psychological barrier to inner peace: emotional suppression.

Tatum explains how suppression—pushing down emotions like sadness, joy, fear, or anger—creates distance between us and the Holy Spirit, damages our bodies, and leads to emotional isolation. Drawing from biblical truth, she highlights how Jesus and David modeled emotional embodiment, reminding listeners that emotional honesty is not weakness—it’s worship.

This episode is a call to stop striving and start surrendering. You’ll walk away with biblical study tools, a mantra (“We don’t suppress, we submit”), and simple, life-changing practices that foster rhythm, not routine.

Inside this episode:

• The difference between disembodiment and suppression
• How suppression affects your business and leadership
• Real-life strategies for walking in internal harmony
• Biblical case studies from Psalms + the life of Jesus
• Encouragement for Black women & high-achieving Christian entrepreneurs

Scripture focus includes John 11:35, Luke 22:44, Psalm 6, Psalm 51, and more.

In this special episode of Blessed + Bossed Up, I’m sharing an episode from one of my favorite shows — the Prescription for Purpose Podcast hosted by my friend, Dr. Sharla Walker. This message, Is It Ambition or Anxiety That’s Driving You?, fits perfectly with our Internal Harmony series and will challenge you to evaluate the true motivation behind your hustle.

Dr. Sharla breaks down the difference between holy ambition — God-given zeal rooted in peace, identity, and purpose — versus anxious ambition fueled by pressure, fear, and the need to prove yourself. Using biblical examples like Saul, Martha, and Nehemiah, she unpacks how to discern your drive, pace yourself with God, and protect your assignment from distraction.

Whether you’re in business, ministry, or simply navigating life, this episode will give you practical tools to align your ambition with God’s will — so you’re moving in purpose, not just in motion.

Tune in now and make sure you subscribe to The Prescription for Purpose Podcast so you never miss an episode that will keep you rooted in faith, focused on purpose, and equipped to thrive in every area of life.

In this week’s episode of Blessed + Bossed Up, we continue our Internal Harmony Series with Part 2 — unpacking the psychological factor of disembodiment. This is when we operate from our heads while ignoring our body’s signals, emotions, and even the Holy Spirit’s nudges. It’s been one of my biggest personal battles, and I’m sharing both biblical truth and practical tools to help you recognize and overcome it.

You’ll learn:

Key Takeaways

• Why harmony is more sustainable than balance in life and business
• The difference between external harmony (systems, productivity) and internal harmony (peace, alignment, presence)
• How disembodiment looks in daily life: ignoring hunger, pushing through pain, numbing emotions, and being physically present but mentally absent
• How it shows up in business: over-functioning, leading from performance instead of presence, disconnected identity, and neglecting Spirit-led decision making
• Root causes backed by research — including trauma, perfectionism, performance-based childhoods, church culture, and over-reliance on logic
• Generational breakdown of how Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z experience disembodiment differently
• What the Bible shows us about embodiment through the life of Jesus: feeling emotions (John 11:35), resting even in storms (Mark 4:38), and being present enough to sense spiritual exchange (Luke 8:45–46)

Practical Steps to Reconnect:

• Address the root cause — through therapy, prayer, fasting, and surrender to God
• Body scans — regularly pause to check in with how you feel physically and emotionally
• Schedule pauses & stillness — add intentional breaks to slow down and be present
• Involve your support system — ask heart questions, not just head questions, and invite accountability
• Replace old habits — build patterns that align with your identity in Christ instead of survival mode

If you’ve ever felt productive on the outside but disconnected on the inside, this episode will help you:

-Recognize the signs of disembodiment

• Identify your personal root causes

-Begin practical and spiritual steps toward true embodiment that honors God, fosters peace, and strengthens your leadership in life and business

In this powerful episode of Blessed and Bossed Up, we continue our Book Club series on The Spirit-Filled Life by Charles Stanley, diving into Part 2: Looking Within. Tatum unpacks Chapter 6, "The Faith Factor," where the focus shifts from understanding the Holy Spirit to practically living a Spirit-filled life. Drawing from her own transitional season—navigating motherhood and preparing for law school—Tatum shares how she’s applying this book’s wisdom in real-time.

This episode explores the difference between reacting and responding, how to stop intellectualizing your faith, and why focus is the bridge between anxiety and peace. Tatum breaks down three biblical truths that can become daily affirmations rooted in scripture:

1. The Holy Spirit indwells you,
2. He is the life of Christ in you,
3. He is willing and able to produce Christ's character through you.

She encourages listeners to shift their focus from self-help affirmations to Holy Spirit-led declarations and offers strategies like building God's track record, preemptive morning declarations, and journaling answered prayers. Using the story of David and Goliath, she outlines how to activate faith before willpower, reminding us that walking in the Spirit is about surrender, focus, and confidence in God's promises.

Whether you're facing daily stressors, emotional overwhelm, or spiritual stagnation, this episode gives you the tools to live a Spirit-filled life—not just on Sundays, but every single day.

Prayer to Start Your Day in Victory:

Lord, I claim the victory right now over the giant of [insert your giant here]. I recognize that this giant is coming up against the Christ in me. Just as you defeated this giant when you walked on this earth, you can defeat it through me now—for you are my life. I trust you to produce peace and self-control through me. I cannot handle what is to come, but you can. Respond through me. When the pressure comes, remind me that the battle is yours. Amen.

In this powerful kickoff to the Internal Harmony Series, Tatum invites high-achieving Christian women into a much-needed conversation about the hidden chaos beneath our productivity: cognitive overload. As a mom of three, business owner, and soon-to-be law student, Tatum shares vulnerably about the transition she's navigating and how God is leading her into a new understanding of internal harmony over external balance. This episode breaks down the psychological and spiritual toll of cognitive overload—what happens when our prefrontal cortex is overstimulated, and we lose our ability to hear the voice of God clearly, regulate our emotions, or even recognize how we feel.

Tatum introduces the concept of internal vs. external harmony, showing that while routines and logistics matter, true peace comes from spiritual alignment, emotional presence, and abiding in Christ. She offers biblically-rooted, science-backed tools to help you slow down, re-engage your senses, and practice stillness so you can reconnect with God and yourself.

Whether you're a woman juggling multiple roles or simply longing for more peace and clarity, this episode offers a holistic path forward. Expect to walk away with practical steps—like mindful breathing, meditating on scripture, nature walks, grounding exercises, sleep routines, journaling prompts, and fasting from information overload—to combat mental fatigue and restore harmony from the inside out.

Plus, Tatum opens up about meditating on Galatians 2:20 and why high-performing women often turn to productivity over presence. Don’t miss this deep, transparent, and transformational conversation on the path to peace through God’s presence.

In this powerful episode of the Blessed + Bossed Up podcast, we return to our book club pick, The Spirit-Filled Life by Dr. Charles Stanley. Tatum shares how this book, one of her top three faith-based reads, is personally guiding her through a season of transition—navigating life with a new baby, two businesses, marriage, and preparing to return to school. She unpacks Chapter 3’s key revelations on surrender, highlighting Dr. Stanley’s honest reflections on secret sin, burnout in ministry, and the life-changing realization that fruitfulness doesn’t come from striving—but abiding.

Tatum draws a striking parallel between Charles Stanley’s breakthrough and her own need to resist self-sufficiency and embrace the Holy Spirit’s power. Through practical takeaways—like meditating on Galatians 2:20, creating margin for God’s presence, and allowing grace to reset your internal pace—this episode offers a refreshing invitation to stop doing and start depending. Whether you’re in ministry, motherhood, business, or all three, this episode will help you reposition your heart, reclaim your peace, and surrender control so the Spirit can bear fruit through you.

In this powerful episode of Blessed + Bossed Up, Tatum dives deep into Acts 17:22–31 and pulls out two key strategies every Kingdom entrepreneur needs: cultural intelligence (CQ) and contextualizing your message.

Using Paul’s sermon to the intellectual elite in Athens as the foundation, this episode breaks down how Paul studied the culture, respected his audience, and delivered the Gospel in a way that resonated deeply—all without compromising the truth.

Tatum explains how these same strategies apply to business today, from adjusting your brand messaging based on audience psychographics to adapting your offers and content for different platforms or markets. She also shares practical examples (from YouVersion to McDonald’s global menus) and offers 3 concrete ways to start applying these principles in your own brand—whether you’re already in business or preparing to launch.

If you’re a faith-led entrepreneur looking to improve your marketing, messaging, or audience engagement while staying true to the Word, this episode is your blueprint.

📖 Scripture:Acts 17:22–31 (NLT)

Paul contextualizes the gospel for the Athenians at the Areopagus, modeling how to reach new audiences with truth and strategy.

Key Takeaways: Cultural Intelligence (CQ) is the ability to understand the values, behaviors, and worldview of the people you're called to serve. * Contextualization is delivering your message in a way that’s relevant, understandable, and compelling—without changing the truth*. * Paul didn’t compromise; he customized the way he shared truth to meet people where they were. * Business owners must do the same with their brand messaging, sales strategies, and offers.

3 Ways to Apply This in Your Business:1. Use Your Audience’s Language – Mirror the words your audience uses to describe their problems and desires. 2. Tailor Messaging for Each Platform – Adapt your content for Instagram vs. TikTok vs. LinkedIn vs. YouTube. 3. Adapt Your Offers for Specific Audiences – Adjust your product packaging, pricing, or delivery to match the needs of different segments within your niche.

In today’s deeply personal episode, Tatum steps away from her usual teaching to share a raw and unfiltered story from her recent postpartum journey. After believing she heard clearly from God that she would have a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean), Tatum walks us through the heartbreak, confusion, and emotional toll of experiencing an outcome that looked very different from what she believed God promised.

This episode isn’t tied up in a bow. It’s a real-time reflection on what it means to be holy and human—to love God deeply, but also feel hurt, to trust Him fully, and still ask “Why?”

If you've ever:

• Felt sure you heard from God but the result didn’t match,
• Struggled with disappointment while trying to remain faithful,
• Wrestled with postpartum emotions, trauma, or spiritual confusion,
• Needed language for navigating your feelings while staying close to God...

This episode is for you.

Tatum reminds us that even in our confusion, God is still near, and we can give Him our broken hearts to heal—even before the revelation comes.

Key Takeaways: How to process disappointment with God without pulling away from Him * Why your feelings are valid and* don’t disqualify your faith * The enemy’s strategy to use spiritual vulnerability for warfare * How to stay committed even when you don’t have clarity * The beauty of surrendering your heart before the “aha moment” comes

Scriptures Mentioned: Job 13:15 – “Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.” * Psalm 34:18 – “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted…” * Isaiah 55:8–9 – “My thoughts are not your thoughts…” * Proverbs 3:5 – “Trust in the Lord with all your heart…”* * John 11 (Martha & Lazarus – the tension of faith and grief)

Share This Episode With:* A woman navigating postpartum emotions or birth trauma * Anyone who feels disappointed by God or let down by an outcome * A friend who needs a reminder that God can handle her questions and still be trusted

I'm still on a quick podcast break as I adjust to life as a new mom of three—yes, I welcomed a beautiful baby girl on June 10th! During this short break, I’ll be sharing some previously released episodes that the Holy Spirit led me to revisit. Today’s replay is no accident—trust that it’s exactly what you need right now.

Episode Summary:

In this powerful episode of Blessed + Bossed Up, Tatum shares an unfiltered testimony of entrepreneurship, spiritual warfare, and God's faithfulness through seasons of pressure. Beginning with a prophetic insight about not being swayed by metrics in this current season, she unpacks the biblical story of Noah as a template for endurance in business.

Tatum walks us through her real-life journey of purchasing Anchored Media Studios, facing unexpected financial pressure, laying off team members, and enduring what felt like a wilderness season—all while staying obedient to God's instructions. This episode is more than encouragement; it's a blueprint for those navigating long seasons of testing and waiting.

Whether you're in a slow season, feeling discouraged, or questioning if your business will survive, this episode reminds you that endurance is part of the calling—and God rewards those who remain faithful under pressure.

Key Takeaways:

• Endurance ≠ failure. It’s the strategy that qualifies you for promotion.
• Do not misread your season. Lack of results does not mean lack of favor.
• Remain under the weight. Some suffering is your portion, not your punishment.
• Obedience breeds provision. God gave Tatum specific instructions that led to breakthrough.
• Testimonies inspire transformation. Your perseverance encourages others to keep going.

Scriptural References:

• Genesis 6–9 (Noah’s obedience during corrupt times)
• James 5:11 (Job and endurance)
• Romans 4:20–21 (Abraham’s faith)
• Hebrews 11:1 (Faith in the unseen)

Practical Applications:

1. Have faith in the unseen. Follow God’s instruction even if you see no results.
2. Persevere through the challenges. Know that pressure is producing something.
3. Endure delayed gratification. God’s timing is not your timing—but it’s perfect.
4. Trust God’s timeline. Waiting is a sign of maturity, not a waste of time.
5. Know your testimony matters. Someone else’s breakthrough depends on your endurance.

In this powerful installment of the Blessed + Bossed Up podcast, Tatum continues the deep dive into The Spirit-Filled Life by Dr. Charles Stanley—specifically, Chapter 4: “D-Day.” This episode unpacks what it truly means to be filled with the Holy Spirit, debunking common misconceptions about waiting, working, or striving to receive what is already promised.

Tatum shares her own personal reflections and struggles as she, like many of us, wrestles with the temptation to take control instead of surrendering to God. Drawing from Charles Stanley’s vulnerable moment of spiritual breakthrough and her own season of faith, she explores the liberating truth that the Spirit-filled life is not a formula—it’s a relationship.

You’ll learn:

• Why striving, begging, or waiting for the Holy Spirit misses the point
• The theological and biblical basis for understanding Spirit-infilling as immediate at salvation—not a second-hand experience
• The critical distinction between being filled with the Spirit vs. being filled by the Spirit (Ephesians 5:18)
• How to recognize if you’re living in survival mode instead of surrender mode—and how to switch postures
• Why dependence and surrender are the prerequisites for Spirit-led leadership, peace, and purpose
• How to study the Holy Spirit biblically: comparing Acts vs. the Epistles

This is more than a book club episode—this is a call to shift your spiritual posture from doing for God to being with God. Let this episode lead you into deeper intimacy, greater peace, and more powerful impact.

📌 Reflection Questions from Chapter 4:Take time to prayerfully reflect and journal your answers:

1. Have you ever found yourself begging, bargaining, or pleading with God for some spiritual change in your life?
2. Have you worked hard trying to earn something from God that’s freely given?
3. Have you assumed it's your responsibility to wait on the Holy Spirit to fill you?
4. Have you been frustrated with how to be filled with the Holy Spirit?
5. Have you come to a place of total dependence and total surrender to God?

In this episode of Blessed + Bossed Up, Tatum dives deep into Acts 15:1–21 to unpack a practical and biblical framework for resolving conflict in business. She walks through the example of the Jerusalem Council and explains how the apostles resolved a major disagreement without compromising truth or unity. Tatum also shares insights from psychological research on conflict avoidance—especially in the digital age—and outlines how modern entrepreneurs can adopt a Christ-centered approach to managing disputes. The episode concludes with a memorable acronym, PEACE, to guide believers through conflict with wisdom, empathy, and clarity.

Key Points Covered:

A verse-by-verse breakdown of Acts 15:1–21 highlighting how conflict was handled in the early church.

The importance of mastering soft skills like conflict resolution for business success and Christian witness.

Data-backed insights on how most people avoid conflict and how that avoidance leads to stress, anxiety, and fractured relationships.

The impact of digital communication on our ability to address issues directly and with empathy.

Tatum’s personal experiences with conflict in business and the lessons she’s learned over the years.

The biblical model of addressing disagreements with humility, truth, community, and clear communication.

Introduction of the PEACE method, a five-step framework based on Acts 15.

The PEACE Method for Conflict Resolution:

P – Pause and Pray: Take a moment before responding. Seek the Holy Spirit’s guidance.

E – Examine the Root Issue: Go beyond surface-level problems to uncover the true cause of the conflict.

A – Approach with Empathy and Accountability: Listen more than you speak. Own your role and respond with grace and truth.

C – Collaborate on a Christ-Centered Solution: Aim for reconciliation, not just resolution. Propose outcomes that honor God and preserve unity.

E – Establish Next Steps: Clarify decisions and expectations. Put agreements in writing to avoid future confusion.

Save the PEACE acronym as a reminder the next time conflict arises in your business or ministry. Use it to remain rooted in biblical truth while navigating difficult conversations.

In this week’s episode of Blessed and Bossed Up, we continue our journey through The Spirit-Filled Life by Charles Stanley, focusing on Chapter 3: The Indwelling Spirit. Tatum walks through Stanley’s personal experience with imposter syndrome and how it led him to a deeper understanding of the Holy Spirit’s presence and power in his life.

This chapter highlights the difference between simply believing in the Holy Spirit and actively living a Spirit-filled life. Tatum discusses how many believers, though saved and sincere, may not be experiencing the fullness of the Holy Spirit because He is not fully activated in their daily lives. Stanley’s transparency about his own struggle brings clarity and hope for those who want to experience more of God but aren’t sure how.

Through practical application and biblical insight, this episode challenges listeners to consider their own level of intimacy with the Holy Spirit. It’s not just about having Him present, but about allowing Him to fully take residence and lead. The chapter also touches on being sealed by the Spirit and the confidence we can have in knowing that God has taken up permanent residence within us.

Reflection Prompt:

Take a moment to meditate on these two truths:

1. The Holy Spirit is God.
2. The Holy Spirit lives in me.

What do these truths mean for your daily life? How should they affect your thoughts, decisions, character, relationships, and sense of purpose?

In this powerful and deeply practical conclusion to the Spirit-Led Business Decisions series, Tatum wraps up what organically grew into a four-part journey into how Christian entrepreneurs can walk with God daily in their business—not just in theory, but in practice. In this final installment, she shifts from theological insight to real-world application, answering the question: "How do I make this a lifestyle and not just lip service?"

Tatum dives into Galatians 5:25 and unpacks what it truly means to "keep in step with the Spirit." She contrasts rhythm vs. routine, exploring why many believers struggle to remain connected to God in their daily grind, and how reclaiming spiritual rhythm—rooted in abiding, alignment, obedient action, and reflection—can transform not just your business, but your entire life.

This episode is for the believer who's tired of burnout, hungry for clarity, and ready to build what God saw before He formed them. If you're ready to stop sprinkling Jesus onto your plans and start submitting to His, this conversation is your blueprint.

What You’ll Learn: The difference between routine and rhythm—and why rhythm is more biblical and fruitful. * The true meaning of Galatians 5:25 and its call to live Spirit-led daily. * Psychological and spiritual reasons we struggle to abide with God consistently. * How to build your business from a place of intimacy, not ambition. * A practical four-part system: Abide, Align, Act, Assess*—for keeping in sync with God in every business season.

Key Scriptures: Galatians 5:25 – “Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.” * John 15:5 – “Apart from Me, you can do nothing.” * Luke 10:38–42 – Martha vs. Mary on routine vs. rhythm. * Exodus 16 – God’s provision of manna and the daily rhythm of trust. * Mark 1:35, John 5:19* – Jesus’ example of ministry led by presence, not pressure.

Business + Faith Takeaways: Routines may be efficient, but rhythms anchor you to presence*. * Strategy should be Spirit-led—not stress-driven. * Aligning with God’s timing produces peace, flexibility, and more fruit. * Obedience matters more than optics or output.

You’ll walk away equipped to recognize the fingerprints of the Spirit in your day-to-day life and encouraged to surrender to the divine guidance available to you.

In this continuation of the Bible on Business series, Tatum walks through Acts 16:6–10 to illustrate how critical it is for Christian entrepreneurs to embrace mobility and flexibility when building a business God’s way. Using Paul’s second missionary journey as a framework, this episode explores what it looks like to make strategic plans while remaining fully open to divine redirection.

If you’re someone who knows you’re called but keeps facing closed doors, delays, or redirections that don’t make sense, this message is for you. Tatum speaks to the emotional and spiritual tension of following God with excellence while trusting Him to guide every step—even when plans change.

She also shares a personal story about obeying the Holy Spirit with no confirmation and how that decision ultimately protected her and her family. This episode will shift your mindset around delays, reframe how you view closed doors, and help you move forward with peace and confidence.

Key Takeaways A closed door is not failure—it can be divine redirection. * The Holy Spirit often leads us as we move*, not before. * Flexibility and mobility are vital for kingdom entrepreneurs. * Being spiritual is not the same as being Spirit-led. * Obedience does not always come with external confirmation. * The people God is calling you to serve are already prepared to receive you.

Scripture Focus* Acts 16:6–10 (ESV and The Message) * Proverbs 16:9 * Romans 8:14 * Galatians 5:25

This Episode is For You If:* You are clear about your calling but uncertain about next steps. * You’ve experienced unexpected closed doors and felt discouraged. * You struggle to distinguish between faith and fear in business decisions. * You are tired of waiting for external confirmation before obeying God. * You want to operate in peace rather than anxiety as you build your business.

Topics Covered* Strategic planning vs. spiritual discernment * What to do when you face delays, pivots, or redirections * The importance of maintaining spiritual rhythm in business * How over-attachment to your vision can block divine movement * The role of fear and anxiety in clouding discernment * How obedience leads to favor and alignment with your ideal clients

If you're tired of "just doing your best" and still coming up empty — this episode is for you.

Tatum opens up about how her passion for business, once ignited by God, slowly became routine... heavy... even burdensome. Sound familiar? Whether it’s your faith, your work, or your purpose — if you've ever wondered why the fire doesn’t feel the same anymore, this episode will meet you where you are.

This week kicks off our new Blessed + Bossed Up Book Club series on The Spirit-Filled Life by Dr. Charles Stanley, a deeply personal and theologically grounded guide to rediscovering the joy, peace, and power that comes from truly living led by the Holy Spirit.

Through honest reflection and raw storytelling, Tatum explores what it means to surrender again — not just your business goals, but your heart, your weariness, your routine, your emotions — all of it. She shares how the Holy Spirit met her right where she was, not in perfection, but in her honesty.

This episode is a permission slip to stop striving and start abiding.

• The truth about burnout in faith and business—and how the Holy Spirit revives
• What makes the Christian walk different from striving in your own strength
• Practical ways to assess if you’re truly living Spirit-led
• How to prepare your heart to journey with us through this book

• What makes you different from friends who aren't believers?
• Peace, joy, and love—are they evident in your life?

In this special replay episode of Blessed + Bossed Up, Tatum revisits one of the most crucial conversations for today’s believer: how to qualify wise counsel. Following her recent teaching on Spirit-led business decisions from Acts 13:1–4, this episode builds upon that foundation by emphasizing the importance of discerning who we allow to pour into us—especially in an era where spiritual influence can be bought, marketed, and misused.

Using 2 Kings 4:1–7 as the anchor text, Tatum unpacks the story of a desperate widow, divine instruction, and miraculous provision. Through this narrative, she walks listeners through how wise counsel played a key role in this woman’s breakthrough—and how we can discern and apply the same principles in our own lives and businesses.

This conversation isn’t just about avoiding deception—it’s about equipping you to hear from God clearly in a noisy world and ensuring that those you go to for advice are truly led by the Spirit.

Main Points Covered: Why this episode is being reposted: Tatum shares the intention behind revisiting this message—to reinforce the importance of spiritual discernment, especially as believers are often influenced by online voices and virtual leaders. * Biblical Foundation: 2 Kings 4:1–7 is explored in-depth as a model for how God uses wise counsel to deliver strategy and provision. * Discerning Influence: The difference between godly counsel and well-meaning but misaligned advice. * Spiritual Maturity:* Why humility, biblical grounding, and discernment are non-negotiables for those we allow to guide us.

Five Characteristics of Wise Counsel:1. God-Centered: They fear the Lord and submit their advice to what God is saying—not just what works. 2. Biblically Sound: Their guidance aligns with scripture in full context and is rooted in truth. 3. Discerning: They are able to perceive beyond surface issues and speak to the root. 4. Humble and Teachable: They don’t lead with ego or accolades, but with a heart postured toward serving and hearing from God. 5. Experienced and Spiritually Mature: Their track record is submitted to God, and their insight is seasoned by both time and obedience.

Examples of Wise and Unwise Counsel in Scripture: Moses and Jethro – Exodus 18:13–24 * Paul and Timothy – 2 Timothy 1:6–7 * Rehoboam and His Advisors* – 1 Kings 12:6–15 (a case study in ignoring wise counsel)

Tatum’s Encouragement:You don’t always have time to vet people when crisis hits. That’s why building relationships with biblically sound, Spirit-led leaders before you’re in need is essential. Don’t wait until you're overwhelmed to figure out who you can trust. Use this episode as a guide to start evaluating your circle now.

In this continuation of our Bible on Business series, we dive deeper into the process of making Holy Spirit-led business decisions. Picking up from Part 1 (based on Acts 8), today’s discussion focuses on Acts 13:1-4 and how divine strategy and clarity are birthed from a lifestyle of worship, fasting, and consistent submission to God. Tatum also shares critical biblical principles for discerning the spirit behind those who claim to be sent by God, offering practical steps to avoid deception and remain anchored in the truth.

Key Points: Context of Acts 13: Shift from Jerusalem to Antioch, highlighting the transition from Peter’s leadership to Paul’s. * Divine Strategy is Birthed from Worship and Fasting: * Barnabas and Saul’s commissioning came in the middle of an existing posture of worship, not a strategic session seeking next steps. * Application: Do not seek God only for strategy—pursue a lifestyle of submission, intimacy, and service. * Beware of Misaligned Spiritual Leadership: * Many modern Christian entrepreneurs and believers are spiritually "thirsty," making them vulnerable to deception. * Importance of properly discerning who lays hands on you or influences your spiritual walk and business decisions. * Principles for Discerning Spiritual Leadership: 1. Test their confession of Jesus (1 John 4:1-3). 2. Test the fruit of their life (Matthew 7:15-20). 3. Test alignment with Scripture (Galatians 1:8-9; Isaiah 8:20). 4. Test through the witness of the Holy Spirit (John 16:13). * Practical Application: * Ask key questions: * Does this person exalt the true Jesus or themselves? * Does their life consistently produce holy fruit? * Are their teachings aligned fully with Scripture? * Does the Holy Spirit bear witness within you regarding their message and conduct? * Take your time before accepting any prophetic word or impartation. It is wise to "wait and see" rather than rushing based on emotions. * Personal Story:* * Tatum shares her own journey of being patient during a wilderness season and how God’s deposits led to the launch of Anchored Media and her continued success, underscoring the power of patience and submission.

In this deeply impactful episode of Blessed + Bossed Up, we’re almost at the finish line of our book club read, Leadership as an Identity by Crawford Loritts. Tatum takes us through Chapter 15: Enduring the Challenge, highlighting what it truly means to endure trials and opposition as a Christian leader. With a foundational focus on Nehemiah 6:9 and the journey of Joshua in Joshua 1, Tatum unpacks what spiritual endurance and godly courage look like in the face of fear, adversity, and opposition.

This episode doesn’t stop at theory. Tatum explores how parentification in women—a form of early responsibility in childhood—can lead to self-reliance and performance-based Christianity in adulthood. With honesty and vulnerability, she shares how endurance has shown up in her own walk as a business owner, wife, and mother. Using both scripture and psychological insights, she offers clarity, healing, and practical encouragement for women who feel like they’ve been “the strong one” for too long.

Listeners will walk away with:

• A biblical understanding of endurance as a non-negotiable in leadership.
• The difference between courage rooted in ego and courage rooted in obedience.
• A call to meditate on and obey God’s Word as the foundation for success (Joshua 1:8).
• Encouragement for those walking through lonely or overwhelming seasons.

Plus, you’ll hear how disobedience—even when emotionally justified—can have lasting consequences, using Moses’ story in Numbers 20 as a sobering leadership lesson.

If you’ve struggled with staying the course or questioned your calling due to hardship, this episode will refresh your spirit and rekindle your commitment to walk out your assignment God’s way.

In this episode of Blessed + Bossed Up, we continue the Bible on Business series by addressing a major question for Christian entrepreneurs: how do you scale your business God's way?

Tatum unpacks the stark contrast between the world’s model of business growth—which prioritizes speed, profit, and control—and the Kingdom model, which is rooted in generosity, stewardship, obedience, and delegation. Using examples from Acts 2, Acts 4, and Acts 6, you’ll learn how early believers created a blueprint for scaling in alignment with God’s will.

This episode also explores what it looks like to legally own things like intellectual property and equity, without allowing an ownership mindset to lead you into pride or disobedience. Plus, hear real-world examples of companies like Hobby Lobby and Convoy of Hope that have scaled successfully while staying rooted in Kingdom values.

If you're ready to grow your business without compromising your faith, this episode is a must-listen.

Key Points:* The difference between worldly scaling and Kingdom scaling * How the early church modeled radical generosity and stewardship (Acts 2:44–45, Acts 4:32–37) * Why structure and delegation are necessary for sustainable business growth (Acts 6:1–7) * How to hold legal ownership with a heart posture of surrender * Six characteristics of scaling a business God's way * Case studies of Christian businesses that grew without compromise

Scriptures Referenced:* Acts 2:44–45 * Acts 4:32–37 * Acts 6:1–7

In this week’s episode of Blessed and Bossed Up, we’re continuing our Bible on Business series by unpacking the power of holy boldness through the lens of Acts 4:13–22. As Christian entrepreneurs, we are called to do more than just add scripture to our captions—we are called to build businesses that reflect the character of Christ and disrupt worldly systems with Kingdom values.

This episode digs deep into what it truly means to be bold, not in a self-glorifying or performative way, but with a courage that is empowered by the Holy Spirit. We define boldness biblically, exploring its Greek root (parrēsia) and how it shows up in the lives of Peter and John as they stand before the Sanhedrin with confidence and conviction.

Tatum also brings in Numbers 30 to confront how many of us mask passiveness as patience or humility when it is actually disobedience. You’ll walk away from this episode with the clarity to recognize whether your hesitation is humility or hidden fear, and the spiritual tools to begin choosing obedience over comfort.

Other key takeaways:

• The biblical definition of boldness and how to cultivate it
• The difference between boldness, pride, and ego
• What happens when we confuse self-glorification with Spirit-led courage
• Why passiveness is not humility—and how to confront it in yourself
• Examples of modern-day Kingdom businesses that disrupt worldly systems
• The connection between time with Jesus and confidence in your calling
• How boldness helps you become a witness, not just an entrepreneur

This is a must-listen episode for anyone who is tired of playing it safe and ready to boldly obey what God has already told them to do.

Hey family!

In light of everything happening in the world right now—from global conflict to economic uncertainty and political tension—I wanted to revisit a powerful conversation we had during our Blessed + Bossed Up Book Club last year.

Our first book club pick was Battlefield of the Mind by Joyce Meyer, and one of the chapters that really resonated with so many of us was on the Anxious and Worried Mind. Given the current climate, I know a lot of people are feeling overwhelmed, unsettled, and unsure of what’s next.

As someone who lives in the D.C. area, I’ve seen firsthand how layoffs, restructuring, and instability have affected so many people I love. Whether you're here in the States or tuning in globally, I believe this episode will meet you right where you are.

So as we step into a new month and new season, I want to encourage you to fight the battle in your mind intentionally. This is a replay of a previous episode, but I believe the reminder and refresh will help you walk into this season with a renewed mindset and spiritual strength.

Let’s dive in. 💪🏾🧠🕊️

In this episode of Blessed + Bossed Up, we continue our deep dive into Leadership as an Identity by Crawford Loritts, focusing on Chapter 13: The Power of Sacrifice. Tatum opens up about her honest reaction to this chapter, including the parts she strongly disagrees with. She explores the nuance and context often missing from blanket statements about sacrifice in leadership, especially for entrepreneurs and leaders who also value their families and boundaries.

Key points include:

• What sacrificial leadership really looks like in modern-day life and business
• The importance of honest self-reflection and spiritual maturity
• How to love and serve those you lead—professionally, personally, and spiritually
• Why boundaries, discernment, and communion with God are key to applying biblical principles in leadership
• The role of family and the tension between ministry, business, and home life

Whether you're a business owner, ministry leader, or managing your home, this episode is full of practical wisdom and honest reflection about what it means to lead like Christ—sacrificially, intentionally, and with love.

Key Scriptures:

• 2 Timothy 4:6-7
• John 12:24-25
• John 3:30

Reflective Questions:

• Are you willing to sacrifice yourself to serve those who serve you?
• How can you show those you lead that you genuinely care for them?
• Are there areas of your life where you're resisting surrender?
• Have you made family an idol, or are you trying to lead without sacrificing what matters most?

In this episode of Blessed and Bossed Up, we continue our book club discussion on Leadership as an Identity: The Four Traits of Those Who Wield Lasting Influence by Crawford Loritz. We dive into Chapter 12, The Dignity of Serving, where we explore what it truly means to lead with a servant’s heart. Tatum shares key takeaways, personal reflections, and challenges us to evaluate whether we take pride in serving others or if ambition has unknowingly led us away from the humility Christ calls us to.

Through biblical examples—such as Jesus washing the disciples’ feet—this episode challenges us to reframe our perception of servanthood, ensuring that we don’t prioritize tasks over people but instead reflect Christ’s example of leadership.

Key Points:

• Servanthood is often misunderstood but is a core trait of godly leadership.
• Many leaders unintentionally place higher value on their position than on their responsibility to serve.
• Jesus’ example in John 13 teaches us that true leadership is about humility, love, and valuing others.
• The importance of maintaining dignity in leadership and how it impacts those we lead.
• Practical ways to implement a servant-leader mindset in business, ministry, and everyday life.

Reflection Questions:

1. Do you take pride in serving others, or do you see it as a means to an end?
2. How can you shift your perspective to view servanthood as dignified rather than burdensome?
3. What specific ways can you serve better in your leadership roles?

In this episode of Blessed and Bossed Up, the discussion centers on chapter 10 of Leadership as an Identity: The Four Traits of Those Who Wield Lasting Influence by Crawford Loritz. The host dives into the transformative process of receiving God's direction and emphasizes that true Christian leadership is founded on a deep, personal relationship with God rather than self-reliance or a complete blueprint from the start.

Key Themes & Insights:

• The Structure of Leadership:
• The book is divided into four parts: Brokenness, Uncommon Communion, Servanthood, and Radical & Immediate Obedience.
• This episode focuses on “His Direction” within the Uncommon Communion section, highlighting how leadership starts with God’s presence.
• Core Message of Christian Leadership:
• Leadership is not about having all the answers but about doing what God wants done.
• Trusting God’s process means accepting that He provides enough direction to take the next step—even if the full picture isn’t revealed right away.
• Biblical Foundations & Practical Lessons:
• Emphasis on the power of consistent communion with God, drawing from Psalm 32:8 and the example of Moses in Exodus.
• Moses’ habit of meeting with God in the tent of meeting illustrates the necessity of removing distractions and staying grounded in divine guidance.
• Four key lessons from Moses’ experience include:
• Making meeting with God a consistent habit.
• Seeking His presence away from the clamor of everyday life.
• Inspiring confidence in others by modeling a life deeply connected to God.
• Embracing an intimate, friendship-like relationship with the Lord.
• Personal Reflections & Testimonies:
• The host shares personal stories of seeking God’s direction during times of uncertainty and growth.
• A powerful vision of a ribbon cutting ceremony foreshadowed the eventual establishment of Anchored Media Studios, reinforcing that God’s assignments often unfold gradually as we obey His call.
• An honest account of the struggle between the rush to act and the need to remain in constant communion with God, reminding us to stay humble and obedient.
• Practical Guidance for Leaders:
• Prioritize time with God over chasing activity or external validation.
• Avoid relying solely on self-help or external advice; instead, cultivate a deep, personal relationship with the Lord.
• Recognize that growth in leadership comes from continuous obedience, learning, and transformation through God’s instructions.

In this episode of Blessed and Bossed Up, we continue our Bible on Business series by diving into the significance of strategic timing. Tatum unpacks the powerful lessons from Acts 2, examining how the Lord orchestrated the perfect moment for Pentecost and how this applies to our business and leadership journeys. She discusses why waiting on God’s timing is crucial, how to avoid premature leadership, and how divine strategy ensures maximum impact.

Through the transformation of Peter, the example of Chick-fil-A’s success, and personal reflections on her own journey, Tatum emphasizes the importance of trusting God's plan. If you’re in a season of waiting or feeling impatient about your business or calling, this episode will encourage and challenge you to surrender to God's divine orchestration.

Key Takeaways:

• God’s Timing Ensures Maximum Impact: Pentecost happened at the exact right moment to maximize the spread of the gospel. Likewise, waiting on God's timing in your business will lead to greater impact.
• The Right People Will Be in Place When It's Time: God gathers the right audience, customers, and community when the timing aligns with His plan.
• Strategic Preparation Precedes Breakthrough: Just as Peter had to go through a transformation process, we must embrace personal and professional development while waiting for God’s move.
• Sudden Breakthroughs Are Often Years in the Making: From Jesus preparing 30 years for a 3-year ministry to Chick-fil-A’s 20-year foundation before expansion, major success takes time and patience.
• Avoid Premature Leadership & Decision-Making: Acting ahead of God’s plan can lead to consequences. Learning to wait well is key to success in both business and faith.

In this episode of Blessed + Bossed Up, Tatum shares a powerful message originally delivered during the Christian Content Creator Town Hall. She breaks down the difference between content creation and thought leadership, urging Christian entrepreneurs to shift their focus from chasing trends to establishing influence that truly shifts culture.

Key Takeaways:

• The love-hate relationship many entrepreneurs have with social media
• Why building solely on platforms you don’t own is risky
• The dangers of social media for mental health and business sustainability
• The Lord’s call for Christians to be thought leaders, not just content creators
• The difference between thought leadership and content creation:
• Thought leaders shift culture; content creators follow trends
• Thought leaders provide original insights; content creators focus on visibility
• Thought leaders build authority and intellectual property; content creators depend on algorithms
• Thought leaders monetize through high-ticket offers, consulting, and speaking engagements
• Biblical examples of thought leadership, including Jesus, Paul, and Nehemiah
• Actionable steps to transition from content creator to thought leader

Practical Steps to Shift to Thought Leadership:

1. Create transformational content – Focus on depth, insight, and teaching rather than just trends.
2. Develop original frameworks & methodologies – Build a unique approach to solving problems in your niche.
3. Establish a signature thought leadership platform – Choose a long-form format like a podcast, book, or newsletter to house your expertise.
4. Build a community – Thought leaders cultivate deeper engagement beyond just followers.

Resources Mentioned:

• Study Guide: Homework! Dive deeper into biblical thought leaders: Moses, Nehemiah, Daniel, Esther, Solomon, John the Baptist, and Paul.

Final Encouragement:

If you've been frustrated with social media, struggling with content consistency, or feeling like you're just chasing the algorithm, this episode is for you. God has called you to be more than a content creator—He wants you to be a thought leader. Seek Him, embrace originality, and build something that lasts beyond platforms and trends.

Many Christian entrepreneurs seek wisdom from business books and experts but often overlook the rich, strategic insight found in scripture. Today, we’re discussing premature leadership—the dangers of stepping into a role before being spiritually, emotionally, and practically prepared.

Tatum unpacks the risks of moving ahead of God’s timing and shares biblical and real-world case studies of leaders who failed due to impatience, lack of preparation, or secondhand faith. She also provides actionable steps to avoid premature leadership and ensure that you lead in alignment with God’s plan.

Scriptures Mentioned:1. Acts 1:4-5 – Jesus instructs the apostles to wait before stepping into their calling 2. Ecclesiastes 3:1 – “To everything there is a season…” 3. Proverbs 19:2 – “Desire without knowledge is not good; how much more will hasty feet miss the way?” 4. Habakkuk 2:3 – “If it seems slow in coming, wait patiently, for it will surely take place.” 5. Acts 19:13-19 – The Sons of Sceva and the consequences of secondhand faith 6. 1 Timothy 3:6 – The dangers of placing a new believer in leadership

Biblical Figures to Study:King Saul, Moses, Sons of Sceva, Abraham & Sarah, Rehoboam, Uzzah

Action Steps to Avoid Premature Leadership:

1. Learn from others' mistakes – Study both biblical and business case studies
2. Develop your character and skillset – Don't step into a role you’re not prepared for
3. Embrace the preparation season – Trust that God is shaping you for your future assignment
4. Wait for the Holy Spirit’s confirmation – Don’t launch before being empowered by the Spirit

In this episode of Blessed + Bossed Up, we continue our deep dive into Leadership as an Identity by Crawford Loritts. We explore Chapter 7, "Dealing with Discouragement," the final chapter in the book’s first section on brokenness. Tatum shares her personal experiences with discouragement, particularly as she prepares for law school and navigates business challenges. She discusses the importance of choosing truth, joy, faith, community, and service as essential tools to combat discouragement and remain steadfast in faith. This episode is filled with wisdom for Christian entrepreneurs and leaders facing setbacks or uncertainty in their journey.

Key Takeaways:

• Understanding Brokenness: Brokenness is a necessary trait of Christian leadership, alongside uncommon communion, servanthood, and radical obedience.
• The Reality of Discouragement: Every leader faces discouragement, but how we respond determines if it will break us or refine us.
• Choosing Truth: Avoid denial and embrace both the reality of challenges and the truth of God’s Word.
• Choosing Joy: Joy is a choice, not an involuntary response. Focus on the presence of God rather than circumstances.
• Choosing Faith: Faith requires trusting God even when the future feels uncertain.

In this episode of Blessed + Bossed Up, Tatum wraps up the 2024 Bible on Business series with a powerful discussion on partnerships. Whether you’re navigating a co-founder relationship, exploring joint ventures, or seeking strategic alliances, this episode is packed with wisdom from Genesis 13:7-11. Tatum shares her personal experiences with partnerships, the lessons she’s learned, and how the Bible offers valuable guidance for navigating business collaborations.

Like Abram, prioritize peace over profit and trust God to guide your decisions. 5. Think Long-Term: 6. Avoid short-sighted decisions. Keep the big picture in mind for sustainable growth. 7.

We explore one of the core traits of godly leadership: Brokenness. This chapter opens with a story about Jason, a fictional character embodying the struggles many leaders face when pride and self-sufficiency creep in. His journey shows how brokenness and dependence on God are essential for lasting influence.

Key Takeaways:1. The Danger of Self-Sufficiency * Jason’s story highlights how pride can lead to isolation, even when outward success is evident. His struggles serve as a reminder that self-sufficiency is a subtle but dangerous trap. 1. What is Brokenness? * Brokenness is a conscious, ongoing awareness of your need for God in all things. It’s not a one-time event but a lifestyle that keeps you humble and dependent on Him. 1. Inadequacy as a Strength * Feeling inadequate is an opportunity to rely on God’s power. Leaders often face assignments bigger than their natural abilities, and that gap is where God shows up. 1. The Role of Humility in Leadership * Whether young or experienced, leaders must guard against pride. The author emphasizes that godly leadership requires character over competence and dependency over self-reliance. 1. Isaiah 57:15 * This scripture beautifully captures God’s dual nature: His sovereignty and His closeness to the humble and brokenhearted. He revives those who acknowledge their need for Him.

Encouragement for Leaders:If you’re facing an overwhelming task, remember: There is always a gap between what you have and what God wants done. Let this gap drive you to deeper dependence on Him. Your inadequacy is not a barrier but an invitation for God to work through you.

Next Steps:We’ll cover Chapter 3 in the next episode, so stay tuned! If you haven’t already, grab your copy of Leadership as an Identity . This book will challenge and equip you to lead with humility and dependence on God. https://a.co/d/hcoWf8X

Welcome to a very special episode where I have the honor of introducing a show that I love, The Girl, Relax, and Trust God Podcast. This incredible new podcast is hosted by one of my mentees, Janique Price, and is designed for women who are ready to reclaim their peace and joy by placing their trust in God’s plan.

About the Podcast

The Girl, Relax, and Trust God Podcast is for the strong woman: the one who is always the listening ear, the advice giver, and the pillar for her loved ones. If you find yourself battling overthinking, busyness, perfectionism, or the stress of carrying a heavy mental load from countless responsibilities, then this podcast is for you. Janique Price has crafted each episode to speak directly to women who often show up for everyone but sometimes struggle to find rest for their own soul. Each week, Janique shares real-life stories, discusses meaningful topics, and dives into scripture, offering strategies and encouragement to help you strengthen your faith and let go of stress.

Episode: “Girl, Eliminate the Noise”

In this powerful episode, Janique discusses the importance of surrendering to God and disconnecting from the distractions of this world to truly find peace. Drawing inspiration from Mark 4:35-36, where Jesus retreats from the crowd, Janique emphasizes the necessity of leaving the noise behind to deepen your relationship with God. She highlights how fear and the need for control can prevent true surrender, leaving us feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. Janique also shares a practical framework called STOP, a simple method to help you refocus and reconnect with God amidst life’s chaos.

Key Takeaways from the Episode:

• Scriptural Foundation: Mark 4:35-36 serves as a reminder to leave the noise and distractions behind, just as Jesus did.
• The STOP Framework:
• S: Stop. Pause the physical movement to give your body and mind a chance to be still.
• T: Take a breath. Practice intentional breathing to regulate your nervous system.
• O: Observe. Take note of your thoughts and feelings, and be honest with yourself about what’s weighing on you.
• P: Pray. Speak God’s Word over your situation, and proceed with confidence knowing He is with you.
• Practical Advice: Janique provides actionable steps on how to limit distractions, such as putting your phone on "Do Not Disturb," setting boundaries, and intentionally seeking quiet time with God.

Welcome back to another installment of our Bible on Business series! In today’s episode, we dive into the powerful message that Kingdom Entrepreneurs are Disruptors. Through the example of Apostle Paul in Ephesus (Acts 19:23-32), we explore how true kingdom businesses inevitably challenge cultural and economic norms, much like Paul’s ministry did against idolatry and occultic practices in Ephesus.

Episode Highlights:

• The Disruptive Impact of Kingdom Businesses
• Paul’s ministry in Ephesus created an economic and spiritual ripple effect, revealing the clash between kingdom values and societal idols like greed, idolatry, and exploitation. As kingdom entrepreneurs, we must be prepared to face similar resistance when operating with integrity and purpose.
• The Inevitable “Riot”
• Just as Paul’s ministry sparked a riot, modern kingdom businesses often challenge norms that are deeply embedded in the business world. From hustle culture to manipulative marketing, today’s entrepreneurs are called to disrupt these standards, knowing that resistance is part of the journey.
• Building Businesses with Integrity and Impact
• Tatum shares practical tips for maintaining purity in business, including transparent pricing, prioritizing purpose over profit, and incorporating charity. By staying rooted in prayer, relying on community support, and being intentional about leaving a legacy that glorifies God rather than self, entrepreneurs can build resilient, kingdom-focused businesses.

Key Takeaways for Disruptive Kingdom Entrepreneurship:

1. Transparent Pricing and Practices – Build trust by being open about materials, sources, and policies that prioritize integrity.
2. Prioritize Purpose Over Profit – Support charitable causes or community initiatives, demonstrating that the kingdom purpose is greater than the bottom line.
3. Root Yourself in Prayer and Community – Prayer and community are essential for navigating the challenges of disrupting worldly systems.
4. Ensure a Legacy of Faith, Not Fame – Aim to leave a Christ-centered legacy by putting Christ at the center of all business activities.

Scripture Reference:

• Acts 19:23-32 – Paul’s ministry in Ephesus and the disruptive impact it had on a society steeped in idolatry.

Tatum encourages listeners to embrace the reality that as kingdom entrepreneurs, they’re called to disrupt the status quo. With wisdom from Paul’s journey and practical tips, this episode empowers listeners to courageously confront opposition, build ethically, and leave a lasting impact that glorifies God.

Don't Forget: If this podcast has blessed you, leave us a 5-star review and share with friends, family, or colleagues who might be encouraged by these insights. Your support helps us spread the message and empower more entrepreneurs to make God the CEO of their businesses.

Welcome back to another episode of the Blessed and Bossed Up podcast, presented by Anchored Media! This entrepreneurship podcast is designed for Christians seeking to make God the CEO of their businesses. Today, we kick off the first installment of our new Blessed and Bossed Up Book Club, diving into Leadership as an Identity by Dr. Crawford L. Loritts.

In This Episode:

• After finishing Battlefield of the Mind by Joyce Meyer, we’re starting a new book focused on the four traits of godly leadership: brokenness, uncommon communion, servanthood, and radical obedience.
• Dr. Loritts discusses how leadership is a calling from God, requiring traits that go beyond skills and abilities. The person God trusts with leadership is the person who can fulfill His divine assignments.
• We talk about how this book is especially timely as we approach the new year. Now is the perfect time to evaluate our leadership roles and focus on becoming leaders who honor God’s standards, not just the world’s.

What We Discuss:

1. Introduction to the Book:
2. Dr. Crawford L. Loritts was initially hesitant about writing this book, believing enough leadership books existed. However, after teaching a leadership class, he realized the need for this unique perspective on Christian leadership.
3. The Four Leadership Traits:
4. Brokenness
5. Uncommon Communion
6. Servanthood
7. Radical and Immediate Obedience
8. Phases of Leadership:
9. Learning (Ages 20-40): Focus on flexibility, growth, and remaining open to God's direction.
10. Leveraging (Ages 40-60): Balancing success with humility, staying diligent, and not becoming complacent.
11. Leaving (Ages 60+): Preparing the next generation by sharing wisdom and experiences while continuing to serve.
12. Key Perspectives on Leadership:
13. The importance of avoiding the secularization of Christian leadership and keeping a God-centered approach in all leadership tasks.
14. Understanding that godly leadership is not about position or fame but about fulfilling God's assignments.

Why This Book Matters: As Christian entrepreneurs, leaders, and business owners, it's critical to align our leadership with biblical principles, ensuring that everything we do is for God's glory and not for worldly success. This episode challenges you to reflect on your leadership style and commit to leading with purpose, guided by God’s direction.

Next Steps:

• We will be covering Chapters 1-7 through December 2, 2024, before taking a podcast break. Get your copy of Leadership as an Identity to follow along and dive deeper into these powerful insights on godly leadership.

Welcome back to another episode of the Blessed and Bossed Up podcast, presented by Anchored Media! In today’s episode, Tatum continues the Bible on Business series by diving into the book of Ecclesiastes, offering a sobering reflection on the meaning of life, success, and our pursuit of wealth and achievement. This episode will challenge listeners to rethink their definition of success and provide much-needed perspective and peace as we approach Q4 planning.

Key Points: Bible on Business Series: Tatum reminds us that as entrepreneurs, everything we need for our businesses—whether it’s marketing, sales, leadership, or mindset—is found in the Word of God. There’s no need to seek supplemental resources when God has provided wisdom and guidance through scripture. * Ecclesiastes Overview: The book of Ecclesiastes is a deep reflection on the fleeting nature of life, offering a reality check for those of us striving for wealth and success. The preacher in Ecclesiastes reminds us that everything in life is like smoke—seemingly tangible but impossible to grasp. * Striving for Success: Tatum speaks directly to those feeling overwhelmed by the pressures of success, career advancement, and comparison. The constant pursuit of material wealth and validation can leave us feeling empty, and Ecclesiastes offers wisdom that redirects our focus to what truly matters: obedience to God. * False Teachings in Christian Entrepreneurship: Tatum highlights the dangers of prosperity gospel teachings that have rebranded themselves as Christian entrepreneurship. These teachings falsely equate material wealth and success with God’s favor, distorting the true biblical message. She emphasizes that success is pleasing God and living in obedience to His word, not accumulating material wealth. * A Biblical Perspective of Success: True success is defined by faithfulness to God*, not the world’s standards. Ecclesiastes reminds us that life’s pursuits are temporary, and only reverence to God and obedience to His commands will provide lasting peace, joy, and eternal rewards.

Scriptures Referenced: Ecclesiastes 1:2 – Everything is meaningless, a reflection on the futility of life’s pursuits. * Philippians 4:11-13 – Learning contentment in all circumstances. * Matthew 6:31-33 – Trusting God for provision as we seek His kingdom first. * 1 Timothy 6:17-19 – Using wealth to do good and glorify God. * James 1:2-4* – Embracing trials and suffering as opportunities for spiritual growth.

Takeaways: Redefining Success: Success is not about wealth, status, or recognition but about obeying God and being faithful to His commands. * The Dangers of Prosperity Gospel: Tatum dissects the false teachings of prosperity theology and urges believers to reject this harmful mindset. True biblical teaching calls for sacrifice, contentment, and obedience, not materialism. * Perspective Shift for Q4: As we approach Q4 and begin reflecting on the year and planning for 2025, Tatum encourages listeners to adopt the correct point of view of success*. This will bring clarity, peace, and alignment with God’s will in both life and business.

Action Steps: Reflect: Take time this week to read or listen to Ecclesiastes. Consider how your own definition of success lines up with biblical teachings. * Plan with Purpose: Use the lessons from today’s episode to adjust your mindset as you plan for the future, focusing on God’s will and not the pressures of worldly success. * Share*: If this episode blessed you, share it with a friend or colleague, especially if you're entering planning sessions for the new year.

Welcome back to the Blessed and Bossed Up podcast presented by Anchored Media! In today’s episode, we are wrapping up Joyce Meyer’s Battlefield of the Mind, diving into the final chapter: Wilderness Mentality #10: "I'm going to do it my way or not at all." Join Tatum as she reflects on the lessons learned throughout this book and the importance of obedience to God’s Word, especially when it goes against our natural tendencies or desires.

Key Points: Obedience Over Sacrifice: Drawing from 1 Samuel 15:22-23, Tatum emphasizes that obedience to God is more important than any sacrifice we can make. God is looking for us to follow His will, not just do things that look good or feel right in our own eyes. * End of the Wilderness Mentality: This final mentality is all about surrendering our will to God’s. Tatum shares personal reflections on how this mentality has shown up in her own life, especially when things seem to be going well. It’s easy to drift away from obedience when we aren’t in desperate situations. * Self-Reflection: Tatum challenges listeners to ask themselves, “Has my prayer life and obedience to God remained consistent, or have I become lax because my circumstances have improved?” * Personal Story: Tatum opens up about how she’s had to confront her own strong-willed personality in her walk with God and how being obedient to His commands, even in small matters, has transformed her faith journey. * Legacy of Obedience*: Tatum encourages parents and leaders to consider the long-term impact of their obedience or disobedience on those they influence. Using examples from her own life and Joyce Meyer’s, she illustrates how our actions can influence future generations.

Scriptures Referenced: Psalm 78:7-8 – Highlighting the stubbornness of the Israelites and the consequences of disobedience. * 1 Samuel 15:22-23 – Saul’s disobedience and the importance of obedience over sacrifice. * Ecclesiastes 12:13* – The conclusion of King Solomon’s wisdom, emphasizing obedience as the ultimate duty of man.

Takeaways: Obedience is a Daily Choice: It’s not just about the big decisions, but the small, everyday instructions that God gives us. How are you following through on the daily habits He’s asked you to implement? * A Life Rooted in Obedience: True reverence for God comes from a life that is rooted in obedience. This is our ultimate duty as believers. * Influence of Obedience*: Your obedience impacts more than just your life—it affects your children, your family, and others in your sphere of influence.

What’s Next:We are starting a new book in our book club series! Our next read will be Leadership as an Identity: The Four Traits of Those Who Wield Lasting Influence by Crawford Loritz. The link to purchase your copy is available in the show notes, so be sure to grab it and follow along as we dive into this new study on godly leadership traits. https://www.amazon.com/dp/0802429874?ref=yb_qv_ov_prnt_dp_rw

Welcome to another episode of the Blessed and Bossed Up podcast, presented by Anchored Media! This week, we dive into a topic that is essential for every entrepreneur, especially faith-based business owners: endurance. In this episode, Tatum reflects on the importance of persevering through challenges and not allowing analytics, numbers, or external measures of success to mislead you during seasons of change. The Lord is shifting the landscape, promoting some and demoting others, but the key is to stay the course.

Key Points: Endurance is Essential: God is doing a restructuring in the body of Christ and in the media space. Now is not the time to rely on numbers, analytics, or visible success measures. What matters most is staying faithful to the assignments He has given you. * Biblical Foundation: Drawing from the story of Noah in Genesis 6, Tatum illustrates how Noah’s unwavering faith and obedience, even when it seemed ridiculous to others, brought about God's promises. Just like Noah, we must be willing to endure despite the ridicule or delayed gratification. * Endurance Builds Character: Tatum shares her personal story of how she and her aunt opened Anchored Media Studios. While the process seemed smooth at first, it led to a season of intense suffering, stress, and challenges. But through it all, God’s plan unfolded, and endurance produced financial freedom, fulfillment, and a deepened faith. * Practical Tips for Endurance: 1. Have faith in the unseen – Just like Noah, trust in God's instructions even when there are no visible signs of change. 2. Persevere through challenges – Learn from Job, who was blessed for his unwavering faith in times of suffering. 3. Endure through delayed gratification – Abraham's long wait for God's promise to be fulfilled is a reminder to stay patient. 4. Trust God's timing – Like Joseph, who endured years of hardship before rising to power, trust that God’s timing is perfect. 5. Your endurance encourages others* – Jesus' endurance on the cross led to salvation for the world. Your perseverance will inspire and uplift others.

Scriptures Referenced:* Genesis 6:5, Genesis 6:11, Genesis 6:9-22 * Romans 4:20-21 * James 5:11 * Philippians 4:8

Practical Takeaways:* Reflect on areas in your business where you're feeling discouraged or weary. How can you invite God into that space and trust Him with the outcome? * When tempted to give up, focus on the bigger picture of God’s purpose for your business. * Surrender your struggles, stress, and doubts to the Lord, trusting that He will provide the strength to endure.

Final Thoughts:Stay encouraged, stay focused, and stay under the load. God sees your faithfulness and will reward your endurance. Keep pressing forward, and trust that He is working behind the scenes, even when you can’t see it.

In this episode of the Blessed + Bossed Up podcast, Tatum blends her Bible on Business series with her review of Joyce Meyer's "Battlefield of the Mind," specifically focusing on Chapter 9. This chapter addresses the "wilderness mentality" related to jealousy and envy, particularly for entrepreneurs who are walking with God in their business journeys. Tatum shares her personal story of experiencing jealousy during her wilderness season and offers practical advice for overcoming it.

Practical Takeaways:

• Embrace honesty in your relationship with God. He can handle your real feelings, and surrendering these emotions allows Him to transform your perspective.
• Trust that God has an individual plan for you. Comparing your journey to others will only hinder your growth and peace.
• Use the SEE framework whenever jealousy or comparison creeps in. It's a practical tool to realign your heart and maintain contentment.

In this episode of the Blessed + Bossed Up podcast, we continue our journey through "Battlefield of the Mind" by Joyce Meyer, wrapping up with Wilderness Mentality #8. Tatum reflects on the long journey of this book study, emphasizing the importance of critically evaluating the content we consume and always checking its alignment with the Word of God.

Tatum shares her candid thoughts on how shame often keeps believers from experiencing the fullness of God's blessings and freedom. Drawing from personal reflections and biblical examples, she takes a deep dive into the emotional and spiritual weight of shame, offering a powerful perspective on how to break free from its grip.

Key Topics Discussed:

• Wilderness Mentality #8: "I don't deserve God's blessings because I am not worthy." Tatum explains how this mentality keeps us from receiving God's promises and reflects on Joshua 5:9 and the rolling away of shame from the people of Israel.
• The Influence of Shame on Behavior: Learn about how shame manifests in different behaviors—avoidance, people-pleasing, defensiveness, negative self-talk, fear of intimacy, and even addiction—and how these patterns can hinder our spiritual growth.
• Biblical Stories of Overcoming Shame: Tatum highlights powerful stories of people in the Bible who overcame shame after encountering Jesus:
• The Samaritan Woman at the Well (John 4)
• The Woman Caught in Adultery (John 8)
• Peter's Denial and Restoration (Luke 22, John 21)
• Mary Magdalene's Transformation (Luke 8)
• Zacchaeus’ Repentance (Luke 19)
• Freedom Through Jesus: Tatum encourages listeners to reject the lies of the enemy that keep them bound in shame. Jesus offers love, acceptance, and freedom—just as He did for those in the Bible, He wants to do the same for us today.

In this episode of Blessed and Bossed Up, Tatum dives deep into the sixth wilderness mentality from Battlefield of the Mind by Joyce Meyer: “My behavior may be wrong, but it is not my fault.” This discussion touches on personal responsibility, confronting uncomfortable truths, and avoiding blame-shifting. Tatum shares practical insights on how this mentality impacts relationships, spiritual growth, and even entrepreneurship. She encourages listeners to ask God for self-revelation, even when it’s difficult.

Key Points Covered: Wilderness Mentality #6: The core topic of this episode is the mindset of blaming others for personal behavior. Tatum and Joyce Meyer’s teachings point to examples from Genesis, like Adam and Eve, and how blaming others can keep you stuck in a wilderness season. * Marriage and Personal Responsibility: Tatum shares a personal story about how seeking the Lord’s help in marriage often leads to self-reflection and accountability, rather than always focusing on your partner’s faults. * Avoiding Excuses: Drawing from Joyce Meyer's experience, Tatum emphasizes that while past hurts may explain bad behavior, they cannot justify staying in it. True freedom comes from confronting personal shortcomings and taking responsibility for one’s actions. * Facing the Truth:* The importance of facing hard truths about ourselves and confronting areas of avoidance is discussed. Tatum encourages listeners to stop making excuses, face uncomfortable realities, and lean into God's guidance for personal transformation.

Scriptures Mentioned: Genesis 3:12-13 – Adam and Eve’s blame game in the Garden of Eden. * Genesis 16:1-6 – Abram, Sarai, and Hagar: Impatience and blame-shifting. * Numbers 21:5 – The Israelites complaining against God and Moses. * Numbers 13:1-3, 25-28 – The report of the 12 spies and the power of "but." * Psalm 51:1-6 – King David’s repentance after his sin with Bathsheba. * John 16:12-13* – The Holy Spirit as the Spirit of Truth.

Action Steps for Listeners: Pray for Personal Revelation: Tatum challenges her audience to ask God to show them the truth about themselves, even when it’s uncomfortable. * Be Accountable: Take ownership of personal behavior without excuses, and practice repentance when necessary. * Marriage Advice: If you're married, take your concerns about your spouse to God first before addressing them with your partner. * Focus on Truth Over Avoidance:* Don’t let excuses or past trauma prevent you from growing spiritually and emotionally.

In this episode of Blessed and Bossed Up, Tatum dives deep into the life and ministry of John the Baptist, a prophetic figure whose role in preparing the way for Jesus offers vital lessons in repentance, righteousness, and fulfilling God's call. Tatum also connects John’s mission to the journey of faith-based entrepreneurs, especially those called to be subject matter experts in their fields.

John the Baptist’s ministry in the wilderness was marked by boldness and a deep sense of purpose. His message of repentance drew large crowds, and he baptized Jesus, witnessing the Holy Spirit descending upon Him. Yet, even John faced moments of doubt, reminding us that we all need reassurance as we walk in our calling. Tatum highlights how John's life underscores the importance of staying mission-focused and aligning our work with God’s plan, much like entrepreneurs who serve as subject matter experts in their industries.

Key Points:

• John’s Role in Prophecy and Ministry: John the Baptist fulfilled Old Testament prophecies as the voice crying out in the wilderness, preparing the way for Jesus. His life of boldness and righteousness is a powerful example for believers today.
• Baptism of Jesus: John’s baptism of Jesus marked a significant moment in biblical history, as the Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus and His public ministry began.
• Doubts and Reassurance: John, despite his vital role, faced doubts about Jesus’ identity while in prison. Jesus affirmed John’s mission, emphasizing that even those with a great calling need moments of reassurance.
• Entrepreneurs as Subject Matter Experts: Tatum draws parallels between John’s focused ministry and the work of entrepreneurs who are called to be subject matter experts. Just as John’s ministry was distinct and focused on preparing the way, faith-based entrepreneurs are called to stay mission-driven, offering expertise that serves a higher purpose. Tatum encourages entrepreneurs to focus on their God-given skills, using them to serve others while allowing God to multiply their efforts.

Subject Matter Expert Entrepreneurs:

• Mission-Driven Focus: Entrepreneurs should view themselves as modern-day “preparers” for their audience, providing valuable expertise while staying aligned with their faith.
• Multiplication through God: Like John’s faithfulness to his mission, entrepreneurs can trust that as they focus on their unique expertise and service, God will bring the increase and multiply their efforts.
• Facing Doubts in Entrepreneurship: Even those who are experts in their field can experience doubt and uncertainty. Tatum discusses how to handle these moments by seeking reassurance from God and staying rooted in your purpose.

Scriptures Referenced:

• Isaiah 40:3 – "A voice of one calling in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way for the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God.'"
• Matthew 3:11 – John’s statement about baptizing with water and the coming of someone more powerful (Jesus) who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.
• John 1:29-34 – John’s testimony of Jesus as the Lamb of God.
• Luke 7:20-23 – John’s disciples ask Jesus if He is the Messiah, and Jesus reassures them through His works.

In this episode of Blessed and Bossed Up, Tatum continues the journey through Battlefield of the Mind by Joyce Meyer, diving into Wilderness Mentality #5, which centers around the concept of patience. Tatum emphasizes how impatience stems from pride and the critical importance of mastering patience as entrepreneurs who are also serving God. She discusses how operating a business, managing goals, and living by faith require balance and patience—waiting on God’s timing instead of rushing ahead.

Tatum also introduces the next book for the podcast's book discussion, Leadership as an Identity by Crawford Loritz, a Christian leadership guide with a biblical perspective. Make sure to grab your copy and prepare to dive into this next study with the podcast community.

Key Points:

New Book Announcement: The next book in the podcast’s reading series is Leadership as an Identity: The Four Traits of Those Who Will Lasting Influence by Crawford Loritz. Tatum will be reading it for the first time along with the audience, so be sure to grab your copy now to prepare for the upcoming discussion.

Patience in Business and Life: Tatum explores the concept of patience and how it relates to pride and humility. She draws from Joyce Meyer's insights and personal stories to explain why waiting well is essential for growth as an entrepreneur and a servant of the Lord. The theme is summarized through the scripture James 5:7, highlighting the importance of patiently waiting on God's timing, much like a farmer waits for the harvest.

Impatience as a Form of Pride: Tatum and Joyce Meyer discuss how impatience reflects a sense of pride and entitlement, thinking too highly of oneself. Humility, on the other hand, calls us to submit to God's timing and trust His process. Tatum encourages listeners to shift their mindset and eagerly anticipate what God has planned, rather than rushing through the journey.

Realistic vs. Idealistic Thinking: Tatum touches on how idealistic thinking can set us up for frustration when things don’t go as perfectly as imagined. She advises grounding your dreams in reality, remaining humble, and submitting to God's perfect timing.

Practical Application: Throughout the episode, Tatum offers practical steps to combat impatience, including asking follow-up questions to God when receiving instruction, learning to wait well, and quoting affirmations that align with God’s timing.

Scriptures Referenced:

James 5:7 – “Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord.”

Romans 12:3 – "Do not think you are better than you really are."

John 16:33 – “In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

In this episode of the Blessed and Bossed Up podcast, Tatum continues the discussion on Joyce Meyer's book Battlefield of the Mind, focusing on chapter 17, which deals with the "wilderness mentality" of avoiding responsibility. Tatum highlights the importance of taking personal responsibility for the opportunities and callings that God places before us. She emphasizes that Christian growth involves moving from dependence on others to a mature, self-disciplined faith that actively seeks God's guidance directly, rather than relying solely on others for spiritual direction. Tatum uses the example of the Israelites and Moses to illustrate how reliance on leaders like Moses can sometimes lead to spiritual complacency, where believers avoid taking personal responsibility for their faith journey.

Tatum also reflects on the need for proper spiritual mentorship and development before stepping into leadership or ministry roles, using her own experiences of being discipled and mentored by more seasoned Christians as examples. She warns against the dangers of prematurely starting Christian platforms without proper spiritual grounding, urging listeners to take their callings seriously by seeking discipleship and spiritual development.

Finally, she concludes by encouraging listeners to be not just hearers of God’s call, but also responsible and prepared to take action, ensuring they are among the "chosen" who are ready to fulfill God's purpose.

In this episode of the Blessed and Bossed Up podcast, Tatum continues the Bible on Business series by exploring the passage in John 6:60-71, where Jesus experiences a significant drop in followers after delivering a challenging teaching. Tatum uses this story to draw parallels for Christian entrepreneurs, emphasizing that a sharp decline in business metrics, like followers or revenue, can happen even when you're following God's plan. She offers four practical tips for entrepreneurs to prepare for such scenarios: don’t be thrown off by people walking away, focus on those who remain faithful, diversify revenue streams, and prepare financially for tough seasons. Tatum also stresses the importance of aligning your business with God’s purpose, ensuring that you're driven by mission rather than metrics. She concludes by encouraging listeners to build their businesses wisely, with safeguards in place, so that even if the truth offends others and affects the bottom line, the business remains stable.

Originally intending to discuss strategies to overcome imposter syndrome, Tatum shares how God led her in a different direction, emphasizing the importance of humility and reliance on Him.

Key Points:

• God's Grace and Salvation: Tatum emphasizes the importance of recognizing God's grace and salvation as the source of true contentment, not worldly achievements or success.
• Humility and Wisdom: Tatum concludes by urging listeners to embrace true humility, as it precedes wisdom and honor. She references Romans 12:2, encouraging listeners to focus on God and not conform to worldly standards.

Closing:

Tatum encourages listeners to denounce their affiliation with imposter syndrome, seek God for fulfillment, and embrace true humility to experience His best in their lives.

In this bonus episode, we continue our journey through Joyce Meyer's "Battlefield of the Mind," focusing on Chapter 11: A Doubtful and Unbelieving Mind.

Joyce Meyer starts by defining doubt as standing in two ways, implying uncertainty and wavering between hope and fear. She distinguishes doubt as a tactic of the enemy to lead us into disobedience, whereas unbelief is outright disobedience. This distinction is crucial because it shows us that doubt is an attack on our faith, and we have the power to correct it and realign ourselves with God's promises.

Meyer shares a powerful story of a man battling sickness, who, despite intermittent attacks of doubt, continued to confess healing scriptures. God revealed to him the spiritual battle behind his doubts, showing him that each time he confessed the word, the enemy retreated. This illustrates that doubt is not from God but is planted by the enemy to negate our faith.

Personal anecdotes and strategies are shared, emphasizing the importance of knowing and speaking God's word to combat doubt. Practical steps are provided, such as memorizing scriptures, studying the Bible in context, and writing out prayers of authority incorporating the word.

The episode concludes with a reflection on the faith of Abraham, who, against all odds, believed God's promise of many descendants. Like Abraham, we're encouraged to be fully convinced that God will do what He promises, regardless of how circumstances appear.
