Understanding the Indwelling of the Holy Spirit

In this week’s episode of Blessed and Bossed Up, we continue our journey through The Spirit-Filled Life by Charles Stanley, focusing on Chapter 3: The Indwelling Spirit. Tatum walks through Stanley’s personal experience with imposter syndrome and how it led him to a deeper understanding of the Holy Spirit’s presence and power in his life.This chapter highlights the difference between simply believing in the Holy Spirit and actively living a Spirit-filled life. Tatum discusses how many believers, though saved and sincere, may not be experiencing the fullness of the Holy Spirit because He is not fully activated in their daily lives. Stanley’s transparency about his own struggle brings clarity and hope for those who want to experience more of God but aren’t sure how.Through practical application and biblical insight, this episode challenges listeners to consider their own level of intimacy with the Holy Spirit. It’s not just about having Him present, but about allowing Him to fully take residence and lead. The chapter also touches on being sealed by the Spirit and the confidence we can have in knowing that God has taken up permanent residence within us.Reflection Prompt: Take a moment to meditate on these two truths:The Holy Spirit is God.The Holy Spirit lives in me.What do these truths mean for your daily life?

Don’t Be Spiritually Scammed: Qualify Wise Counsel

In this special replay episode of Blessed + Bossed Up, Tatum revisits one of the most crucial conversations for today’s believer: how to qualify wise counsel. Following her recent teaching on Spirit-led business decisions from Acts 13:1–4, this episode builds upon that foundation by emphasizing the importance of discerning who we allow to pour into us—especially in an era where spiritual influence can be bought, marketed, and misused.Using 2 Kings 4:1–7 as the anchor text, Tatum unpacks the story of a desperate widow, divine instruction, and miraculous provision. Through this narrative, she walks listeners through how wise counsel played a key role in this woman’s breakthrough—and how we can discern and apply the same principles in our own lives and businesses.This conversation isn’t just about avoiding deception—it’s about equipping you to hear from God clearly in a noisy world and ensuring that those you go to for advice are truly led by the Spirit.Main Points Covered:Why this episode is being reposted: Tatum shares the intention behind revisiting this message—to reinforce the importance of spiritual discernment, especially as believers are often influenced by online voices and virtual leaders.Biblical Foundation: 2 Kings 4:1–7 is explored in-depth as a model for how God uses wise counsel to deliver strategy and provision.Discerning Influence: The difference between godly counsel and well-meaning but misaligned advice.Spiritual Maturity: Why humility, biblical grounding, and discernment are non-negotiables for those we allow to guide us.Five Characteristics of Wise Counsel:God-Centered: They fear the Lord and submit their advice to what God is saying—not just what works.Biblically Sound: Their guidance aligns with scripture in full context and is rooted in truth.Discerning: They are able to perceive beyond surface issues and speak to the root.Humble and Teachable: They don’t lead with ego or accolades, but with a heart postured toward serving and hearing from God.Experienced and Spiritually Mature: Their track record is submitted to God, and their insight is seasoned by both time and obedience.Examples of Wise and Unwise Counsel in Scripture:Moses and Jethro – Exodus 18:13–24Paul and Timothy – 2 Timothy 1:6–7Rehoboam and His Advisors – 1 Kings 12:6–15 (a case study in ignoring wise counsel)Tatum’s Encouragement:You don’t always have time to vet people when crisis hits. That’s why building relationships with biblically sound, Spirit-led leaders before you’re in need is essential. Don’t wait until you're overwhelmed to figure out who you can trust. Use this episode as a guide to start evaluating your circle now.

How to Make Spirit-Led Business Decisions pt. 2

In this continuation of our Bible on Business series, we dive deeper into the process of making Holy Spirit-led business decisions. Picking up from Part 1 (based on Acts 8), today’s discussion focuses on Acts 13:1-4 and how divine strategy and clarity are birthed from a lifestyle of worship, fasting, and consistent submission to God. Tatum also shares critical biblical principles for discerning the spirit behind those who claim to be sent by God, offering practical steps to avoid deception and remain anchored in the truth.Key Points:Context of Acts 13: Shift from Jerusalem to Antioch, highlighting the transition from Peter’s leadership to Paul’s.Divine Strategy is Birthed from Worship and Fasting:Barnabas and Saul’s commissioning came in the middle of an existing posture of worship, not a strategic session seeking next steps.Application: Do not seek God only for strategy—pursue a lifestyle of submission, intimacy, and service.Beware of Misaligned Spiritual Leadership:Many modern Christian entrepreneurs and believers are spiritually "thirsty," making them vulnerable to deception.Importance of properly discerning who lays hands on you or influences your spiritual walk and business decisions.Principles for Discerning Spiritual Leadership:Test their confession of Jesus (1 John 4:1-3).Test the fruit of their life (Matthew 7:15-20).Test alignment with Scripture (Galatians 1:8-9; Isaiah 8:20).Test through the witness of the Holy Spirit (John 16:13).Practical Application:Ask key questions:Does this person exalt the true Jesus or themselves?Does their life consistently produce holy fruit?Are their teachings aligned fully with Scripture?Does the Holy Spirit bear witness within you regarding their message and conduct?Take your time before accepting any prophetic word or impartation. It is wise to "wait and see" rather than rushing based on emotions.Personal Story:Tatum shares her own journey of being patient during a wilderness season and how God’s deposits led to the launch of Anchored Media and her continued success, underscoring the power of patience and submission.Resources Mentioned:The Spirit-Filled Life by Charles Stanley – [Grab your copy here] https://a.co/d/cBARYuEBible references: Acts 13:1-4, 1 John 4:1-3, Matthew 7:15-20, Galatians 1:8-9, Isaiah 8:20, John 16:13 Call to Action:Reflect: Are you seeking God’s hand or His heart first?Evaluate: Apply the principles of spiritual discernment shared today to your current business community and spiritual influences.Prepare: Join the Blessed + Bossed Up Book Club as we start The Spirit-Filled Life by Charles Stanley.

What it Means to Scale a Kingdom Business

In this episode of Blessed + Bossed Up, we continue the Bible on Business series by addressing a major question for Christian entrepreneurs: how do you scale your business God's way?Tatum unpacks the stark contrast between the world’s model of business growth—which prioritizes speed, profit, and control—and the Kingdom model, which is rooted in generosity, stewardship, obedience, and delegation. Using examples from Acts 2, Acts 4, and Acts 6, you’ll learn how early believers created a blueprint for scaling in alignment with God’s will.This episode also explores what it looks like to legally own things like intellectual property and equity, without allowing an ownership mindset to lead you into pride or disobedience.

The Power of Holy Boldness in Business

In this week’s episode of Blessed and Bossed Up, we’re continuing our Bible on Business series by unpacking the power of holy boldness through the lens of Acts 4:13–22. As Christian entrepreneurs, we are called to do more than just add scripture to our captions—we are called to build businesses that reflect the character of Christ and disrupt worldly systems with Kingdom values.This episode digs deep into what it truly means to be bold, not in a self-glorifying or performative way, but with a courage that is empowered by the Holy Spirit. We define boldness biblically, exploring its Greek root (parrēsia) and how it shows up in the lives of Peter and John as they stand before the Sanhedrin with confidence and conviction.Tatum also brings in Numbers 30 to confront how many of us mask passiveness as patience or humility when it is actually disobedience. You’ll walk away from this episode with the clarity to recognize whether your hesitation is humility or hidden fear, and the spiritual tools to begin choosing obedience over comfort.Other key takeaways:The biblical definition of boldness and how to cultivate itThe difference between boldness, pride, and egoWhat happens when we confuse self-glorification with Spirit-led courageWhy passiveness is not humility—and how to confront it in yourselfExamples of modern-day Kingdom businesses that disrupt worldly systemsThe connection between time with Jesus and confidence in your callingHow boldness helps you become a witness, not just an entrepreneurThis is a must-listen episode for anyone who is tired of playing it safe and ready to boldly obey what God has already told them to do.

Hey family! In light of everything happening in the world right now—from global conflict to economic uncertainty and political tension—I wanted to revisit a powerful conversation we had during our Blessed + Bossed Up Book Club last year.Our first book club pick was Battlefield of the Mind by Joyce Meyer, and one of the chapters that really resonated with so many of us was on the Anxious and Worried Mind.

The Dignity of Serving

 In this episode of Blessed and Bossed Up, we continue our book club discussion on Leadership as an Identity: The Four Traits of Those Who Wield Lasting Influence by Crawford Loritz. We dive into Chapter 12, The Dignity of Serving, where we explore what it truly means to lead with a servant’s heart. Tatum shares key takeaways, personal reflections, and challenges us to evaluate whether we take pride in serving others or if ambition has unknowingly led us away from the humility Christ calls us to.Through biblical examples—such as Jesus washing the disciples’ feet—this episode challenges us to reframe our perception of servanthood, ensuring that we don’t prioritize tasks over people but instead reflect Christ’s example of leadership.Key Points:Servanthood is often misunderstood but is a core trait of godly leadership.Many leaders unintentionally place higher value on their position than on their responsibility to serve.Jesus’ example in John 13 teaches us that true leadership is about humility, love, and valuing others.The importance of maintaining dignity in leadership and how it impacts those we lead.Practical ways to implement a servant-leader mindset in business, ministry, and everyday life. Reflection Questions:Do you take pride in serving others, or do you see it as a means to an end?How can you shift your perspective to view servanthood as dignified rather than burdensome?What specific ways can you serve better in your leadership roles?

His Direction

In this episode of Blessed and Bossed Up, the discussion centers on chapter 10 of Leadership as an Identity: The Four Traits of Those Who Wield Lasting Influence by Crawford Loritz. The host dives into the transformative process of receiving God's direction and emphasizes that true Christian leadership is founded on a deep, personal relationship with God rather than self-reliance or a complete blueprint from the start.Key Themes & Insights:The Structure of Leadership:The book is divided into four parts: Brokenness, Uncommon Communion, Servanthood, and Radical & Immediate Obedience.This episode focuses on “His Direction” within the Uncommon Communion section, highlighting how leadership starts with God’s presence.Core Message of Christian Leadership:Leadership is not about having all the answers but about doing what God wants done.Trusting God’s process means accepting that He provides enough direction to take the next step—even if the full picture isn’t revealed right away.Biblical Foundations & Practical Lessons:Emphasis on the power of consistent communion with God, drawing from Psalm 32:8 and the example of Moses in Exodus.Moses’ habit of meeting with God in the tent of meeting illustrates the necessity of removing distractions and staying grounded in divine guidance.Four key lessons from Moses’ experience include:Making meeting with God a consistent habit.Seeking His presence away from the clamor of everyday life.Inspiring confidence in others by modeling a life deeply connected to God.Embracing an intimate, friendship-like relationship with the Lord.Personal Reflections & Testimonies:The host shares personal stories of seeking God’s direction during times of uncertainty and growth.A powerful vision of a ribbon cutting ceremony foreshadowed the eventual establishment of Anchored Media Studios, reinforcing that God’s assignments often unfold gradually as we obey His call.An honest account of the struggle between the rush to act and the need to remain in constant communion with God, reminding us to stay humble and obedient.Practical Guidance for Leaders:Prioritize time with God over chasing activity or external validation.Avoid relying solely on self-help or external advice; instead, cultivate a deep, personal relationship with the Lord.Recognize that growth in leadership comes from continuous obedience, learning, and transformation through God’s instructions.

What Strategic Timing Looks Like

 In this episode of Blessed and Bossed Up, we continue our Bible on Business series by diving into the significance of strategic timing. Tatum unpacks the powerful lessons from Acts 2, examining how the Lord orchestrated the perfect moment for Pentecost and how this applies to our business and leadership journeys. She discusses why waiting on God’s timing is crucial, how to avoid premature leadership, and how divine strategy ensures maximum impact.Through the transformation of Peter, the example of Chick-fil-A’s success, and personal reflections on her own journey, Tatum emphasizes the importance of trusting God's plan. If you’re in a season of waiting or feeling impatient about your business or calling, this episode will encourage and challenge you to surrender to God's divine orchestration.Key Takeaways:God’s Timing Ensures Maximum Impact: Pentecost happened at the exact right moment to maximize the spread of the gospel. Likewise, waiting on God's timing in your business will lead to greater impact.The Right People Will Be in Place When It's Time: God gathers the right audience, customers, and community when the timing aligns with His plan.Strategic Preparation Precedes Breakthrough: Just as Peter had to go through a transformation process, we must embrace personal and professional development while waiting for God’s move.Sudden Breakthroughs Are Often Years in the Making: From Jesus preparing 30 years for a 3-year ministry to Chick-fil-A’s 20-year foundation before expansion, major success takes time and patience.Avoid Premature Leadership & Decision-Making: Acting ahead of God’s plan can lead to consequences.
