    Start With Sobriety

    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/community Scriptures 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.

    From Revelation to Practice

    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?

    Hearing God, Spirit-Led Pivots, and Thriving in School as a Mompreneur

    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 educationKey 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?

    Faith, Contentment & Boundaries

    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?

    Your Reminder to be Bold

    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.

    Keeping in Step with the Spirit

    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/4mSGGTN Key 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.

    Addicted to Control

    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.
