Summary

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 Summary

Tatum 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:

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

0:00.0	Hey guys, welcome to another episode of the Blessed and Bossed podcast. So as you guys know, over the last couple of episodes, I have been answering questions that you have submitted. If you have a question you want me to answer on the show, please continue to send it in because I store them. So when I do these mailbag episodes, I discuss them. And it's also a really good opportunity for me
0:22.5	to hear from you and what you're going through and the needs that you have for me to help make
0:28.0	sure that our episodes address that, whether it's a Q&A episode or not. Now, when I sent out
0:34.8	this email a few weeks ago soliciting questions, one of the questions that I got was really good.
0:40.5	And I've been thinking about it ever since because I feel like it required its own episode.
0:46.9	And as I've been thinking about it, it looks like it's going to end up being its own series.
0:51.4	And so the question was from someone who said that they've been listening to
0:54.8	the Bible on business series and they have been inspired by the episodes, they've enjoyed the
1:01.1	episodes. But when they go to read the Bible for themselves to get the insight for their
1:07.7	business to go then and take to apply it, there's like a gap where they're
1:12.9	not getting the same revelation that I may communicate in. There is this gap between what they're
1:19.3	hearing on the episode and in how they can go and apply it. And I thought that that was
1:25.4	excellent feedback because I want to, and the purpose of this podcast
1:30.9	really is to close that gap for us to make God the CEO of our businesses and for us to know
1:36.1	how to do that in practice.
1:39.9	And I've been thinking about that question ever since because I've been in this journey for eight years now of seeking the Lord on behalf of my business and building it not just for him but with him.
1:53.1	And so a lot of things are second nature to me just because I've been doing this for so long.
1:58.6	And I do think it's important for me to take a step back to think about those of you
2:03.9	who may be doing this for the first time, whether it's building a business for the first time,
2:09.2	whether it's being newer in the faith, whether it's both, whatever your special circumstances are,
2:15.1	it's important for me as somebody who wants to guide you in a right direction
2:19.2	to take a step back and think about what does this look like for someone in the earlier stages
