Summary

**Disclaimer** We are currently on our annual winter break. This is a replay of an episode that aired earlier in 2025.

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

0:05.4	An entrepreneurship podcast for Christians all about how to make God the CEO of your business.
0:12.0	Get ready to be inspired, challenged, but well equipped to live and build your destiny his way.
0:28.1	Hey guys,
0:31.5	welcome to another episode of the Blessed and Bossed Up podcast.
0:36.3	We are continuing on with our Bible on business series.
0:40.7	The last few installments of this series have been all about how to make spirit-led business decisions. And we're continuing on with that. It's so funny because
0:46.4	when I first did the outline for that episode, it was supposed to be one episode, but we were covering
0:53.2	about three to four different scriptures
0:56.4	within the episode. And as I got to dive in deep into the scripture, and of course, I don't
1:01.7	like to rush. I don't want to just skip through, give you my couple of little opinions, and then
1:07.2	skip to the next one. I really want us to dive deep into what the text is actually saying
1:11.5	and then pull out those implications for business. So because I like to take my time and be thorough,
1:17.2	these one points have become different parts to a broader series. And it's so funny because
1:25.5	doing it this way, even though it wasn't my intention starting out, has brought me so much excitement for the text because I'm exploring scriptures in depth that I may not have had time to had I just left it at one episode.
1:39.9	So I hope that these have been blessing you, that you have been getting some very major nuggets
1:46.2	and keys for your businesses. And most importantly, I pray that it has brought you to the word for
1:52.7	yourself so the Holy Spirit can reveal what's relevant to you in your particular journey.
1:57.7	And I pray that you've seen fruit from applying the things that we've
2:02.4	discussed in these parts. In this episode, we're going to be in Acts 16 versus 6 through 10.
2:10.4	Now, this episode is for the person where you feel like you have a clear assignment and mission
2:16.8	from the Lord. You know what he's called you to do.
