Blessed + Bossed Up

In this episode of Blessed + Bossed Up, Tatum sits down with one of our favorites, Pastor Tiffany Soa, for a real and raw conversation about what it actually looks like to depend on God in business, ministry, and life.The last time Tiffany was on the show was in 2020. Since then, everything has changed: she’s become Pastor Tiffany, married, relocated twice (from Philly to North Carolina and now living full-time in Ghana), shifted from multi–six-figure consulting to full-time ministry, and has walked through some of the hardest financial and emotional seasons of her life.In Part 1 of this conversation, Tatum and Tiffany talk about the Bible on Business journey, the difference between worldly “Christian-branded” strategies and truly building from the Word, and the uncomfortable reality of learning to really depend on God when everything in you wants to lean on hustle, self-reliance, or what looks “practical” on paper.Tiffany shares how God:Took her from a busy life in Philly as a property owner and multi–six-figure business ownerLed her to North Carolina for a softer, more peaceful lifestyle and deeper feminine identityBegan quietly preparing her heart to slow down in business and ramp up in ministryUsed isolation, relocation, and hidden seasons to cultivate boldness, honesty, and a lifestyle of obedienceThey also talk about:Growing up in church vs. actually forming a personal relationship with GodHow Catalyst Church in Philly became Tiffany’s training ground for intercession, obedience, and spiritual maturityWhy accountability, therapy, and spiritual covering matter so much when you’re hungry for GodThe danger of consuming only digital, “sound bite” faith and how to slow down and discern voices onlineWhy wanting “more” (peace, better quality of life, financial freedom, the ability to be a kingdom financier) isn’t wrong—but must be submitted to GodThis conversation is a masterclass in counting the cost, moving when God says move, and allowing Him to reshape your identity beyond hustle, proximity-based friendships, and public success.Stay tuned for Part 2, where they dig into what happened when Tiffany’s business unraveled, the reality of manna seasons, grief in transitions, and how God used it all to expand her global ministry and birth the Prayerthon.🌍 Register for the End of Year PrayerthonJoin believers from around the world on December 31 for 18+ hours of prayer, teaching, and intercession across six core pillars of life.👉🏾 Register here: bit.ly/mwgprayerthon💛 Partnership Spotlight: Heifer InternationalHeifer International is a global nonprofit that empowers women farmers like Akanbi Ashiata, who grew up in Lagos and struggled to access fair funding to grow her tomato business.

In this episode of Blessed + Bossed Up, Tatum continues the Bible on Business series with a sobering reminder: faith does not replace fundamentals. Yes, we pray, fast, and follow God’s leading—but we also have to be good stewards who understand the basic building blocks of business. Tatum walks you through what it really means to count the cost (Luke 14:28–30) and breaks down the core fundamentals every God-led entrepreneur needs in place so you’re not just starting things… you’re able to sustain and scale them with integrity.Sponsored by Heifer InternationalSo many women around the world are called by God to build, but lack access to basic financial resources. In Nigeria, 98% of women can’t access formal credit—no capital, no accounts, no way to grow what God has put in their hands. When you give to Heifer’s Microloan Impact Fund, 100% of your gift goes directly to women entrepreneurs so they can access the capital they need to build sustainable farms and businesses.Turn blessing into opportunity: fund a loan today at Heifer.org/blessed In This Episode, We Cover:Why “being super saved” isn’t enough to build a sustainable business – How many Christian entrepreneurs skip the unglamorous fundamentals and then blame God for what’s really mismanagement.Exegesis of Luke 14:28–30 – What Jesus meant when He said to count the cost before building. – How this applies directly to launching and running a business in 2025 and beyond.Faith + Fundamentals = Fruit that Lasts – Why spiritual disciplines (prayer, fasting, obedience) must be paired with practical disciplines (planning, numbers, systems). – How to avoid building businesses that look spiritual on the surface but are structurally weak underneath.The Core Fundamentals Every Business Needs Tatum breaks down “Business 101” in simple, God-first language:Executive Summary – Your God-given assignment in business and what you’re really here to do.Market Research – How to stop guessing and actually understand your industry + the people you’re called to serve.Products & Services – Clarifying what you’re selling and how it solves a real problem.Marketing & Sales Plan – Why “posting on social” isn’t a strategy and how to think in terms of your customer’s journey.Operations Plan – Systems, structure, and stewardship so your business can function without chaos.Financial Plan – Startup costs, pricing, margins, and budgeting so you’re not “successful” online but broke in real life.Risk & Legal Structure – Why you need professional counsel (attorney + accountant) and can’t skip this step.How Fundamentals Protect Your Witness – Why half-finished projects, abandoned brands, and messy business practices misrepresent the God you claim to serve. – How counting the cost upfront protects your name and His.

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.Get the Clarity Cleanse (free guide): https://blessed-bossed-up.ck.page/4be4da9270 Join The Society (community + Bible studies + prayer): https://www.blessedandbossedup.com/communityScriptures referenced1 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 takeawaysClarity 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 detoxSuccess culture & performance pressureDigital noise & comparisonMixed mentorship (many voices before The Voice)Materialism & metrics-based validationOver-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.Download: https://blessed-bossed-up.ck.page/4be4da9270 Our Sponsors: * Check out Happy Mammoth and use my code BLESSED for a great deal: https://happymammoth.com * Check out Indeed: https://indeed.com/BLESSED Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/blessed-bossed-up7264/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

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 SummaryTatum 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 Scripture1 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 ThemesPerspective 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 PromptsIf 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?

Tatum answers your submitted questions on (1) what to do when you feel like you’re not hearing from God, (2) discerning whether a pivot is Spirit-led, and (3) how to pursue higher education as a wife, mom, and entrepreneur—plus why she said “yes” to law school. Expect practical rhythms, biblical anchors, and real-life systems that protect your peace, family, and focus.Topics & Timestamps (from listener questions)[0:27] What do you do when you feel like you are not hearing from God?[15:18] How do you know when something is (or should be) a Spirit-led pivot?[21:11] What made you pursue law school?[31:52] Advice for a mom, wife, and entrepreneur pursuing higher education Key TakeawaysWhen God feels “quiet,” first lower the noise: reduce information overload, step back from social feeds, and create space to hear His still, small voice. Watch for personal “warning lights” (anxiety, irritability, impatience) that signal it’s time to unplug and recentre.Sometimes silence is intentional—a season to apply what He already taught you. Keep communing with God, act in obedience, and recognize His hand even when He isn’t verbose.Discerning a Spirit-led pivot:Scripture check—God will not contradict His Word.History with God—does this align with recent themes in prayer, journaling, and conviction?Wise counsel + practical confirmations—agreement from trusted voices and doors God opens.Order matters—obedience first, clarity often follows.Pursuing school as a mompreneur: count the cost, build the team, design systems.Scale business responsibly, design childcare that gives peace of mind, and budget with realistic/committed revenue.Protect mind, body, and spirit: fuel with protein-forward meals, rest when your body says pause, and use tools that lower cognitive load.Tools Tatum loves for study & life design:Google Notebook to turn class notes into podcasts, videos, quizzes, flashcards, and mind maps.A custom “LifeOS” in ChatGPT trained on syllabi, calendars, and family logistics to auto-draft weekly plans. Scriptures & Biblical Themes MentionedGod speaking in a still small voice (1 Kings 19:11–13)Fruit of the Spirit as behavioural gauge (Galatians 5:22–23)Abraham’s move as a model for faith steps (Genesis 12)Counting the cost before building (Luke 14:28)Spirit-led redirection in Acts (e.g., Acts 16) Resources MentionedStudy Bible (with cross-references, concordance, index, maps) - https://amzn.to/4hgpEwwGoogle Notebook: https://notebooklm.google/Have a question for the show?

Tatum opens the episode reflecting on her recent midterm fatigue and decision to take a mental health day. She thanks listeners for their patience and reminds them that the podcast is a ministry, not a job. This space is about service — not clout, income, or obligation.“Part of taking what God entrusts to us seriously is knowing when we don’t have it to give — and honoring that.”[1:56] Listener Q&A IntroductionAfter receiving dozens of thoughtful questions from her audience, Tatum shares that she’ll be answering them over two upcoming episodes. She also hints at bringing back past guests whose lives and testimonies have evolved since their first appearance.[3:02] Question 1: Why Does It Feel Like Everyone Else Is Getting Blessed But Me?A listener in her 30s shares feelings of discouragement watching others get married, have children, and advance in their careers while she continues to wait on God.Scripture Focus: Philippians 4:10–13 (NLT)“I have learned how to be content with whatever I have… for I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.”Highlights:[4:26] Paul’s contentment wasn’t rooted in circumstances, but in Christ.[6:02] The enemy often exploits waiting seasons to sow doubt and comparison.[7:29] Protect your vulnerabilities — unfollow triggers, set digital boundaries.[9:18] Learn to desire the Giver more than the gift.[10:11] Tatum shares how she met her husband in God’s timing, not her own.[13:18] Create “safeguards of contentment” through prayer, scripture, and boundaries.Key Takeaway:True peace in waiting comes when your fulfillment is anchored in God’s presence, not His performance.[15:23] Question 2: How Do I Set Boundaries as a Mom Starting a Business?A listener asks for guidance on balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship without losing focus on God’s purpose.Highlights:[16:30] The first boundary to establish is with yourself.[17:05] Balance is a myth — pursue harmony through alignment with God.[18:30] Tatum’s 3 personal boundaries:Stay connected to the Vine (John 15).Keep priorities in divine order.Do every assignment with excellence.[21:07] Boundaries are about stewardship, not restriction.Spiritual Insight:“Your ambition should never come at the expense of your assignment at home.”[22:22] Bonus Segment: God-Led Business StrategyTatum shifts into strategist mode, walking listeners through how to build a business from the ground up with divine order and practicality.Highlights:[23:28] Start with a clear business plan — use SBA.gov templates.[24:31] Validate your idea before marketing it.[25:47] Businesses fail when they don’t solve real problems.[26:30] Marketing is a byproduct of strategy, not the starting point.Takeaway:Build from the blueprint God gives you — not the algorithm’s trends.[27:00] Question 3: How Did You Stay Focused When People Doubted You?A listener who recently quit her 9–5 asks how to stay steadfast when others question her calling.Highlights:[28:01] Tatum recalls the doubtful reactions when she left her job to start Anchored Media.[28:48] How she turned fear into fuel by focusing on work, not validation.[29:58] The importance of a supportive community of faith-driven entrepreneurs.[31:09] Stay quiet about your progress — let the fruit speak.Key Takeaway:“When God gives you the vision, He’ll also give you the proof — but you have to build first.”[32:32] Question 4: Preparing for Motherhood as a Married EntrepreneurA listener asks how to spiritually and practically prepare for motherhood while running a business.Highlights:[33:48] Create a relationship bucket list — enjoy your marriage before kids.[36:02] Build rhythms of connection (weekly date nights, intentional check-ins).[36:41] Individual and joint therapy before kids is an act of preparation, not repair.[38:07] Men need emotional support too — they carry provision pressure.[39:29] Protect your marriage from being consumed by parenthood.[40:46] Create a “Happy List” for postpartum joy and mental health support.[42:59] Audit your business:Increase passive income streamsAutomate workflowsCut unnecessary costs[45:37] Make your business lean for freedom — not pressure.Key Takeaway:“Motherhood should multiply your grace, not your chaos. Prepare now so peace leads the transition.”---Have questions?

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.

We pick the book club back up with Part II (“Looking Within”) of The Spirit-Filled Life by Dr. Charles Stanley. Tatum recaps the biblical foundation of the Holy Spirit’s indwelling (for all believers at salvation) versus His influencing (our moment-by-moment leading). Building on the recent Internal Harmony series, she explains that walking by the Spirit is not distant, rule-based “directions,” but a close, personal leading—a lifestyle of sensitivity, dependence, and cooperation. You’ll learn why the Spirit’s primary goal is to form Christ-likeness, how to fight the “battle before the battle” in your mind, and why Scripture is the Holy Spirit’s weapon of choice (the sword of the Spirit) for dismantling lies, speculations, and flesh-driven desires. Tatum shares practical examples from entrepreneurship and life, showing how obedience positions us to avoid unnecessary suffering and walk into God’s wise, timely provision. Grab your copy: https://amzn.to/4mSGGTNKey TakeawaysIndwelt & Led: All believers receive the Holy Spirit at salvation; the ongoing call is to be led by Him (Gal. 5:16, 18, 25).Rhythm > Routine: Don’t confine God to a devotional “director’s chair.” Cultivate a moment-by-moment rhythm with Him.Holiness is the Goal: The Spirit’s primary work is Christ-likeness, not quick answers about jobs, money, or moves.Battle Before the Battle: Win the mental war first—guard thoughts, take them captive, and preoccupy your mind with truth.Scripture = Sword: Use specific verses to confront specific lies; memorize and speak them out loud.Focus Forms Direction: “What we focus on, we drift toward.” Set your mind on the Spirit to avoid fulfilling the flesh.Scripture ReferencesGalatians 5:16, 18, 25 — Walk/keep in step with the SpiritEphesians 5:18 — Filled with the Spirit1 Corinthians 12:13 — One Spirit, one body1 John 4:13 — Assurance by His SpiritRomans 6:11–14 — Dead to sin, alive to GodRomans 12:2 — Renew your mindColossians 3:2 — Set your mind on things abovePhilippians 4:8 — Think on what is true2 Corinthians 10:5 — Take thoughts captive1 Peter 1:13; 3:9; 4:19 — Sober-minded, repay evil with blessing, entrust to a faithful CreatorEphesians 6:17 — The word as the sword of the SpiritPractical Homework List Your Speculations & Struggles: Recurring daydreams, fantasies, mental loops.Find Targeted Verses: Use a study Bible/concordance to match each area with Scripture.Memorize & Speak Aloud: Put verses on cards, phone lock screen, mirror, or desk.

In this final episode of the Internal Harmony Series, we’re tackling the “big C word” — control. Control isn’t just a personality trait; it’s a spiritual stronghold that keeps us bound, quenches the Spirit, and robs us of God’s peace.In this episode, I share a recent testimony about what happened when I surrendered control, unpack why the Bible calls us to release it, and walk through case studies of the Rich Young Ruler and Paul to show the difference between clinging to control and living surrendered.You’ll learn:Why control is a stronghold and how it quenches the Spirit (1 Thessalonians 5:19)How control shows up as a cognitive distortionThe root issue of trust and how to rebuild itA practical Weekly Surrender Challenge to live this outThis episode will equip you to exchange control for surrender and experience the internal harmony God desires for you.

In this powerful conclusion to the Internal Harmony Series, Tatum shares what it's looked like to live in true peace while managing law school, motherhood, business, and ministry. Through personal testimony and Spirit-led insight, she unpacks the third psychological barrier to inner peace: emotional suppression.Tatum explains how suppression—pushing down emotions like sadness, joy, fear, or anger—creates distance between us and the Holy Spirit, damages our bodies, and leads to emotional isolation. Drawing from biblical truth, she highlights how Jesus and David modeled emotional embodiment, reminding listeners that emotional honesty is not weakness—it’s worship.This episode is a call to stop striving and start surrendering. You’ll walk away with biblical study tools, a mantra (“We don’t suppress, we submit”), and simple, life-changing practices that foster rhythm, not routine. Inside this episode:The difference between disembodiment and suppressionHow suppression affects your business and leadershipReal-life strategies for walking in internal harmonyBiblical case studies from Psalms + the life of JesusEncouragement for Black women & high-achieving Christian entrepreneurs Scripture focus includes John 11:35, Luke 22:44, Psalm 6, Psalm 51, and more.

In this week’s episode of Blessed + Bossed Up, we continue our Internal Harmony Series with Part 2 — unpacking the psychological factor of disembodiment. This is when we operate from our heads while ignoring our body’s signals, emotions, and even the Holy Spirit’s nudges. It’s been one of my biggest personal battles, and I’m sharing both biblical truth and practical tools to help you recognize and overcome it.You’ll learn:Key TakeawaysWhy harmony is more sustainable than balance in life and businessThe difference between external harmony (systems, productivity) and internal harmony (peace, alignment, presence)How disembodiment looks in daily life: ignoring hunger, pushing through pain, numbing emotions, and being physically present but mentally absentHow it shows up in business: over-functioning, leading from performance instead of presence, disconnected identity, and neglecting Spirit-led decision makingRoot causes backed by research — including trauma, perfectionism, performance-based childhoods, church culture, and over-reliance on logicGenerational breakdown of how Gen X, Millennials, and Gen Z experience disembodiment differentlyWhat the Bible shows us about embodiment through the life of Jesus: feeling emotions (John 11:35), resting even in storms (Mark 4:38), and being present enough to sense spiritual exchange (Luke 8:45–46) Practical Steps to Reconnect:Address the root cause — through therapy, prayer, fasting, and surrender to GodBody scans — regularly pause to check in with how you feel physically and emotionallySchedule pauses & stillness — add intentional breaks to slow down and be presentInvolve your support system — ask heart questions, not just head questions, and invite accountabilityReplace old habits — build patterns that align with your identity in Christ instead of survival modeIf you’ve ever felt productive on the outside but disconnected on the inside, this episode will help you:-Recognize the signs of disembodiment- Identify your personal root causes-Begin practical and spiritual steps toward true embodiment that honors God, fosters peace, and strengthens your leadership in life and business Our Sponsors: * Check out IXL and use my code TODAY for a great deal: https://www.ixl.com * Check out Indeed: https://indeed.com/BLESSED Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/blessed-bossed-up7264/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In this powerful episode of Blessed and Bossed Up, we continue our Book Club series on The Spirit-Filled Life by Charles Stanley, diving into Part 2: Looking Within. Tatum unpacks Chapter 6, "The Faith Factor," where the focus shifts from understanding the Holy Spirit to practically living a Spirit-filled life. Drawing from her own transitional season—navigating motherhood and preparing for law school—Tatum shares how she’s applying this book’s wisdom in real-time.This episode explores the difference between reacting and responding, how to stop intellectualizing your faith, and why focus is the bridge between anxiety and peace. Tatum breaks down three biblical truths that can become daily affirmations rooted in scripture:The Holy Spirit indwells you,He is the life of Christ in you,He is willing and able to produce Christ's character through you.She encourages listeners to shift their focus from self-help affirmations to Holy Spirit-led declarations and offers strategies like building God's track record, preemptive morning declarations, and journaling answered prayers. Using the story of David and Goliath, she outlines how to activate faith before willpower, reminding us that walking in the Spirit is about surrender, focus, and confidence in God's promises.Whether you're facing daily stressors, emotional overwhelm, or spiritual stagnation, this episode gives you the tools to live a Spirit-filled life—not just on Sundays, but every single day.Prayer to Start Your Day in Victory:Lord, I claim the victory right now over the giant of [insert your giant here]. I recognize that this giant is coming up against the Christ in me. Just as you defeated this giant when you walked on this earth, you can defeat it through me now—for you are my life. I trust you to produce peace and self-control through me. I cannot handle what is to come, but you can. Respond through me. When the pressure comes, remind me that the battle is yours. Amen.

In this powerful kickoff to the Internal Harmony Series, Tatum invites high-achieving Christian women into a much-needed conversation about the hidden chaos beneath our productivity: cognitive overload. As a mom of three, business owner, and soon-to-be law student, Tatum shares vulnerably about the transition she's navigating and how God is leading her into a new understanding of internal harmony over external balance. This episode breaks down the psychological and spiritual toll of cognitive overload—what happens when our prefrontal cortex is overstimulated, and we lose our ability to hear the voice of God clearly, regulate our emotions, or even recognize how we feel.Tatum introduces the concept of internal vs. external harmony, showing that while routines and logistics matter, true peace comes from spiritual alignment, emotional presence, and abiding in Christ. She offers biblically-rooted, science-backed tools to help you slow down, re-engage your senses, and practice stillness so you can reconnect with God and yourself.Whether you're a woman juggling multiple roles or simply longing for more peace and clarity, this episode offers a holistic path forward. Expect to walk away with practical steps—like mindful breathing, meditating on scripture, nature walks, grounding exercises, sleep routines, journaling prompts, and fasting from information overload—to combat mental fatigue and restore harmony from the inside out.Plus, Tatum opens up about meditating on Galatians 2:20 and why high-performing women often turn to productivity over presence. Don’t miss this deep, transparent, and transformational conversation on the path to peace through God’s presence.

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? How should they affect your thoughts, decisions, character, relationships, and sense of purpose?Scriptures Mentioned (in order of appearance):1 Corinthians 6:19 1 Corinthians 13:12 Genesis 1:1–3 Colossians 1:13–16 Genesis 1:26 Genesis 1:27 Acts 5:1–4 Hebrews 9:14 John 20:22 Acts 1:8 1 John 3:24 1 Thessalonians 4:8 1 Peter 1:11 Galatians 4:6 1 Corinthians 3:16–17 Romans 8:9 Romans 8:11 2 Timothy 1:14 Jeremiah 31:31–34 Mark 15:38 Ephesians 1:13–14 Matthew 27:66 Revelation 20:3 Revelation 7:4–8 Revelation 14:1–5 Ephesians 4:30Book Featured The Spirit-Filled Life: Discover the Joy of Surrendering to the Holy Spirit by Charles Stanley https://a.co/d/ceKoWk3Share this episode with a friend who is seeking more of God and trying to step into the calling on their life with confidence and clarity.

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.

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.

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. Plus, hear real-world examples of companies like Hobby Lobby and Convoy of Hope that have scaled successfully while staying rooted in Kingdom values.If you're ready to grow your business without compromising your faith, this episode is a must-listen.Key Points:The difference between worldly scaling and Kingdom scalingHow the early church modeled radical generosity and stewardship (Acts 2:44–45, Acts 4:32–37)Why structure and delegation are necessary for sustainable business growth (Acts 6:1–7)How to hold legal ownership with a heart posture of surrenderSix characteristics of scaling a business God's wayCase studies of Christian businesses that grew without compromise Scriptures Referenced:Acts 2:44–45Acts 4:32–37Acts 6:1–7 Our Sponsors: * Check out Cozy Earth: https://cozyearth.com/BLESSED * Check out Effecty and use my code BLESSED for a great deal: https://www.effecty.com * Check out Happy Mammoth and use my code BLESSED for a great deal: https://happymammoth.com * Check out IXL and use my code TODAY for a great deal: https://www.ixl.com * Check out Indeed: https://indeed.com/BLESSED * Check out Netsuite: https://netsuite.com/BLESSED * Shop at REVOLVE.com/BLESSED and use code BLESSED for 15% off your first order. #REVOLVEpartner Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/blessed-bossed-up7264/donations Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

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.

 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?

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.
