Summary

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.

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 detox

Success culture & performance pressure
Digital noise & comparison
Mixed mentorship (many voices before The Voice)
Materialism & metrics-based validation
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.

0:11.9	Get ready to be inspired, challenged, but well equipped to live and build your destiny his way.
0:30.8	Hey guys, welcome to another episode of the Blessed and Bossed Up podcast.
0:37.2	I am excited about this week's episode because we are going to get started on, we'll call it a series where I really want to
0:41.0	answer a question that I got. Y'all know a few weeks ago, we did a couple of Q&A episodes where I sent
0:47.0	you guys emails to see what questions you wanted me to cover on the show. And I love doing these
0:51.8	because I also get an idea of what you guys are struggling with and what I could help with via the show. And I love doing these because I also get an idea of what you guys are struggling
0:55.3	with and what I could help with via the podcast. As you know, with the podcast, I'm just talking to
1:02.1	myself. I'm not, I don't have a co-host. I don't do interviews often. So it's just me. And I get
1:08.9	feedback from you with things like analytics when you guys send me
1:13.5	emails, when you post on social media, which I love because I get to a lot of times see
1:18.2	your faces and it's just great to engage with you that way. And also when I send out email
1:23.1	soliciting questions, I'm able to answer them and get an idea of where you are as well.
1:29.4	One of the questions that I received was someone asking about the practicality aspect of
1:36.0	the Bible on business series. She was saying how she listened to the episode. She loves the
1:41.3	episodes and she goes and she studies, but there's this disconnect
1:44.6	in how to fully apply and how to really be able to search the word for herself and to
1:52.7	apply it in her business. And so I believe that in my interpretation of the question is that
1:58.2	she's getting a lot of information and maybe even still
2:01.7	some practical aspects that we discuss on the episodes, but there's still a disconnect with the
2:06.2	application portion. And as I was pondering on that question, I was really thinking, how can we
2:12.0	feel this gap? Because I have been an entrepreneur for 10 years now. I've been full time in entrepreneurship for
