Summary

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.
