    How to Make Spirit-Led Business Decisions pt. 3

    In this continuation of the Bible on Business series, Tatum walks through Acts 16:6–10 to illustrate how critical it is for Christian entrepreneurs to embrace mobility and flexibility when building a business God’s way. Using Paul’s second missionary journey as a framework, this episode explores what it looks like to make strategic plans while remaining fully open to divine redirection. If you’re someone who knows you’re called but keeps facing closed doors, delays, or redirections that don’t make sense, this message is for you.

She also shares a personal story about obeying the Holy Spirit with no confirmation and how that decision ultimately protected her and her family.

    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.

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 16:13Call 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.

    Enduring the Challenge

    In this deeply impactful episode of Blessed + Bossed Up, we’re almost at the finish line of our book club read, Leadership as an Identity by Crawford Loritts. Tatum takes us through Chapter 15: Enduring the Challenge, highlighting what it truly means to endure trials and opposition as a Christian leader. With a foundational focus on Nehemiah 6:9 and the journey of Joshua in Joshua 1, Tatum unpacks what spiritual endurance and godly courage look like in the face of fear, adversity, and opposition. This episode doesn’t stop at theory. Tatum explores how parentification in women—a form of early responsibility in childhood—can lead to self-reliance and performance-based Christianity in adulthood. With honesty and vulnerability, she shares how endurance has shown up in her own walk as a business owner, wife, and mother. Using both scripture and psychological insights, she offers clarity, healing, and practical encouragement for women who feel like they’ve been “the strong one” for too long. Listeners will walk away with: A biblical understanding of endurance as a non-negotiable in leadership.The difference between courage rooted in ego and courage rooted in obedience.A call to meditate on and obey God’s Word as the foundation for success (Joshua 1:8).Encouragement for those walking through lonely or overwhelming seasons.Plus, you’ll hear how disobedience—even when emotionally justified—can have lasting consequences, using Moses’ story in Numbers 20 as a sobering leadership lesson. If you’ve struggled with staying the course or questioned your calling due to hardship, this episode will refresh your spirit and rekindle your commitment to walk out your assignment God’s way. 📚 If you know a powerful apologetics book to recommend for the next book club pick, email tatum@tatumtemia.com. ➡️ Share this episode with a friend, leave a 5-star review, and don’t forget to tune in next week as we wrap up this transformative book series.
