    In this episode of Blessed and Bossed Up, Tatum dives deep into the sixth wilderness mentality from Battlefield of the Mind by Joyce Meyer: “My behavior may be wrong, but it is not my fault.” This discussion touches on personal responsibility, confronting uncomfortable truths, and avoiding blame-shifting.

    John the Baptist as a Subject Matter Expert (SME)

    In this episode of Blessed and Bossed Up, Tatum dives deep into the life and ministry of John the Baptist, a prophetic figure whose role in preparing the way for Jesus offers vital lessons in repentance, righteousness, and fulfilling God's call. Tatum also connects John’s mission to the journey of faith-based entrepreneurs, especially those called to be subject matter experts in their fields. John the Baptist’s ministry in the wilderness was marked by boldness and a deep sense of purpose. His message of repentance drew large crowds, and he baptized Jesus, witnessing the Holy Spirit descending upon Him. Yet, even John faced moments of doubt, reminding us that we all need reassurance as we walk in our calling. Tatum highlights how John's life underscores the importance of staying mission-focused and aligning our work with God’s plan, much like entrepreneurs who serve as subject matter experts in their industries. Key Points: John’s Role in Prophecy and Ministry: John the Baptist fulfilled Old Testament prophecies as the voice crying out in the wilderness, preparing the way for Jesus. His life of boldness and righteousness is a powerful example for believers today.Baptism of Jesus: John’s baptism of Jesus marked a significant moment in biblical history, as the Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus and His public ministry began.Doubts and Reassurance: John, despite his vital role, faced doubts about Jesus’ identity while in prison. Jesus affirmed John’s mission, emphasizing that even those with a great calling need moments of reassurance.Entrepreneurs as Subject Matter Experts: Tatum draws parallels between John’s focused ministry and the work of entrepreneurs who are called to be subject matter experts. Just as John’s ministry was distinct and focused on preparing the way, faith-based entrepreneurs are called to stay mission-driven, offering expertise that serves a higher purpose. Tatum encourages entrepreneurs to focus on their God-given skills, using them to serve others while allowing God to multiply their efforts.Subject Matter Expert Entrepreneurs: Mission-Driven Focus: Entrepreneurs should view themselves as modern-day “preparers” for their audience, providing valuable expertise while staying aligned with their faith.Multiplication through God: Like John’s faithfulness to his mission, entrepreneurs can trust that as they focus on their unique expertise and service, God will bring the increase and multiply their efforts.Facing Doubts in Entrepreneurship: Even those who are experts in their field can experience doubt and uncertainty. Tatum discusses how to handle these moments by seeking reassurance from God and staying rooted in your purpose.Scriptures Referenced: Isaiah 40:3 – "A voice of one calling in the wilderness, 'Prepare the way for the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God.'"Matthew 3:11 – John’s statement about baptizing with water and the coming of someone more powerful (Jesus) who will baptize with the Holy Spirit.John 1:29-34 – John’s testimony of Jesus as the Lamb of God.Luke 7:20-23 – John’s disciples ask Jesus if He is the Messiah, and Jesus reassures them through His works.

    Wilderness Mentality #5

    In this episode of Blessed and Bossed Up, Tatum continues the journey through Battlefield of the Mind by Joyce Meyer, diving into Wilderness Mentality #5, which centers around the concept of patience. Tatum emphasizes how impatience stems from pride and the critical importance of mastering patience as entrepreneurs who are also serving God. She discusses how operating a business, managing goals, and living by faith require balance and patience—waiting on God’s timing instead of rushing ahead. Tatum also introduces the next book for the podcast's book discussion, Leadership as an Identity by Crawford Loritz, a Christian leadership guide with a biblical perspective. Make sure to grab your copy and prepare to dive into this next study with the podcast community. Key Points: New Book Announcement: The next book in the podcast’s reading series is Leadership as an Identity: The Four Traits of Those Who Will Lasting Influence by Crawford Loritz. Tatum will be reading it for the first time along with the audience, so be sure to grab your copy now to prepare for the upcoming discussion. Patience in Business and Life: Tatum explores the concept of patience and how it relates to pride and humility. She draws from Joyce Meyer's insights and personal stories to explain why waiting well is essential for growth as an entrepreneur and a servant of the Lord. The theme is summarized through the scripture James 5:7, highlighting the importance of patiently waiting on God's timing, much like a farmer waits for the harvest. Impatience as a Form of Pride: Tatum and Joyce Meyer discuss how impatience reflects a sense of pride and entitlement, thinking too highly of oneself. Humility, on the other hand, calls us to submit to God's timing and trust His process. Tatum encourages listeners to shift their mindset and eagerly anticipate what God has planned, rather than rushing through the journey. Realistic vs. Idealistic Thinking: Tatum touches on how idealistic thinking can set us up for frustration when things don’t go as perfectly as imagined. She advises grounding your dreams in reality, remaining humble, and submitting to God's perfect timing. Practical Application: Throughout the episode, Tatum offers practical steps to combat impatience, including asking follow-up questions to God when receiving instruction, learning to wait well, and quoting affirmations that align with God’s timing. Scriptures Referenced: James 5:7 – “Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord.” Romans 12:3 – "Do not think you are better than you really are." John 16:33 – “In this world, you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” -- Links Mentioned: Purchase Leadership as an Identity by Crawford Loritz https://www.amazon.com/Leadership-Identity-Traits-Lasting-Influence/dp/0802429874/ref=asc_df_0802429874/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=693418648542&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=12772022580361218147&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9007754&hvtargid=pla-1960767194116&psc=1&mcid=8b657e14b37e34f2930cebf7b8bdb058&ccs_id=298cb58b-c3e4-48d4-865b-f2b484c028f2 Register for the Free Challenge (Details Coming Soon!)

    Wilderness Mentality #2

    In this episode of the Blessed and Bossed Up podcast, Tatum continues the discussion on Joyce Meyer's book Battlefield of the Mind, focusing on chapter 17, which deals with the "wilderness mentality" of avoiding responsibility. Tatum highlights the importance of taking personal responsibility for the opportunities and callings that God places before us. She emphasizes that Christian growth involves moving from dependence on others to a mature, self-disciplined faith that actively seeks God's guidance directly, rather than relying solely on others for spiritual direction. Tatum uses the example of the Israelites and Moses to illustrate how reliance on leaders like Moses can sometimes lead to spiritual complacency, where believers avoid taking personal responsibility for their faith journey. Tatum also reflects on the need for proper spiritual mentorship and development before stepping into leadership or ministry roles, using her own experiences of being discipled and mentored by more seasoned Christians as examples. She warns against the dangers of prematurely starting Christian platforms without proper spiritual grounding, urging listeners to take their callings seriously by seeking discipleship and spiritual development. Finally, she concludes by encouraging listeners to be not just hearers of God’s call, but also responsible and prepared to take action, ensuring they are among the "chosen" who are ready to fulfill God's purpose.
