Summary

In today’s episode, we continue our Leadership as an Identity book club series with Part Four: Radical and Immediate Obedience. Tatum dives deep into what it means to be obedient to God without delay, especially in the context of Christian entrepreneurship.

This powerful conversation challenges us to reflect on whether we're truly following God’s instructions or simply doing what feels comfortable. From examining Saul’s partial obedience in 1 Samuel 15 to sharing her own experiences of choosing obedience over personal discomfort, Tatum offers real-life wisdom for believers called to lead.

You’ll learn:

Why obedience is better than sacrifice—and how disobedience can block your destiny
How to discern God’s mission for your business and operate creatively within His boundaries
The difference between contentment and complacency
Why unresolved authority issues may be hindering your trust and obedience to God
The importance of repentance, sensitivity to the Holy Spirit, and quick obedience

If you're ready to move from good ideas to God-led assignments, this episode is for you.

Referenced Scripture:

Acts 20:24
1 Samuel 15:19–23
Acts 13:22
2 Timothy 2:20–21

Radical obedience leads to lasting influence and spiritual legacy.

0:00.0	You are listening to Blessed and Bossed up, presented by Anchored Media, an entrepreneurship podcast for Christians all about how to make God the CEO of your business.
0:11.9	Get ready to be inspired, challenged, but well equipped to live and build your destiny his way.
0:30.7	Hey guys, welcome to another episode of the Blessed and Bosta podcast.
0:39.4	We are continuing on with our book club pick leadership as an identity, the four traits of those who will lasting influence.
0:46.0	Now, this book is broken up into four parts because the author believes that Christian leaders live from and lead with four common identity characteristics. Part one, we talked about
0:52.3	brokenness. Part two, we talked about uncommon communion. And up
0:56.9	until last week, we were discussing part three, which is servanthood. Today, we move on into the last
1:03.7	part of the book on radical and immediate obedience. I'm very excited about this part of the book because this is something that I
1:13.3	believe we do not discuss enough. And in this particular chapter we're about to read,
1:19.4	chapter 14 called Staying in the Game, the author didn't come to play with us. Okay, I thoroughly
1:25.3	enjoyed this chapter. As always, the chapters are opened up
1:29.6	with a scripture and a quote. The scripture is from Acts 2024. It says,
1:35.3	But I do not account my life of any value, nor as precious to myself. If only I may finish my course
1:42.5	in the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.
1:49.3	I love this scripture because it is such a sobering reality of how we should live and the attitude in which we should operate from.
1:58.8	In this Christian entrepreneurship space, it is quite easy to make things about us,
2:05.1	achievement, growth, money, impact, influence, etc.
2:10.5	All of the metrics that make us feel good and make us feel powerful,
2:15.3	make us feel like the Lord is doing great works to us. Those are the
2:19.1	things that we put on a pedestal. But the core of what we do and why we do it and our life in
2:26.4	general is not to accumulate things. It's not to accumulate money, but it's just to finish our
2:32.8	course in the ministry that we receive from the Lord.
