In this episode of Blessed + Bossed Up, we continue our book club discussion of The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer, shifting from diagnosing the problem of hurry to uncovering the solution. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, burnt out, or stuck in a cycle of doing too much, this episode is your invitation to something deeper: the lifestyle of Jesus. We explore what it truly means to follow Jesus—not just in belief, but in daily practice—and how embracing an apprenticeship mindset can transform your pace, your peace, and your purpose. Key Takeaways:1. The Answer Isn’t More Time—It’s a New Way to LiveWe often think the solution to overwhelm is more hours in the day. But more time doesn’t fix a misaligned life—it just gives us more space to stay busy. True freedom comes from reordering our lives around God, not productivity. 2. You’re Not Just a Believer—You’re an ApprenticeTo follow Jesus is to apprentice under Him:
This perspective shifts your posture from control to humility, from striving to learning. 3. Your Life Reflects Your LifestyleIf you’re experiencing:
…it’s not random. Your current systems and rhythms are producing those results. “Every system is perfectly designed to get the results that it gets.”4. You Can’t Want Jesus’ Life Without Adopting His LifestyleMany of us want:
…but we’re not willing to live how He lived. Following Jesus is not compartmentalized—it’s a full-life transformation, not just Sunday behavior or spiritual moments. 5. Burnout Is a Sign You’re Living Outside of God’s DesignBurnout isn’t just exhaustion—it’s a signal. It often means you’ve made your dwelling place somewhere God never intended. The invitation? Come back home. 6. Stop Praying Your Will—Start Seeking HisA powerful personal story highlights how easy it is to pray what we want instead of surrendering to God’s will. When you approach God as an apprentice—not the one in charge—you:
Slowing down enough to:
…is key to transformation. Self-awareness allows you to course correct in real time and grow in spiritual maturity. 8. Jesus Doesn’t Offer Escape—He Offers EquipmentLife is hard. That’s not changing. But instead of removing the weight, Jesus teaches us how to carry it differently:
This week, begin living like an apprentice:
Matthew 11:28–30 “Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest…” Final Thought:If you want the life of Jesus, you have to adopt the lifestyle of Jesus. This isn’t about doing more—it’s about living differently. Resources Mentioned:

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or like there aren’t enough hours in the day, this conversation will challenge the way you think about productivity, ambition, and success. Tatum shares a candid life update—navigating motherhood, law school, entrepreneurship, and a recent season of burnout—and how God is shifting her perspective on pace, priorities, and what success really means in this season.

In this episode of Blessed + Bossed Up, Tatum takes time to rest and recover while revisiting one of the most impactful teachings she’s shared: the God Math Formula. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, stretched thin, or stuck in survival mode, this episode invites you to take a different approach. Instead of striving, multitasking, and trying to do everything, Tatum breaks down a faith-based framework that brings clarity, peace, and alignment. This episode is not about doing more. It is about doing what matters most and trusting God to handle the rest. What You’ll Learn

| Why Rest Feels Unproductive (But Isn’t) | 05 Mar 2026 | 00:40:56 | |
In this episode of Blessed + Bossed Up, we continue the book club discussion of The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer, exploring chapters 2 and 3. Tatum dives into the history of speed in modern culture and how technological advancement, shifting cultural values, and the rise of the attention economy have created a lifestyle of chronic busyness. From alarm clocks and the invention of the light bulb to smartphones and social media platforms, we unpack how the modern world has conditioned us to move faster, do more, and measure productivity by output rather than spiritual depth. But what is the real cost of this constant hurry? This episode challenges Christian entrepreneurs and busy believers to reconsider their definition of productivity, confront the hidden addiction to digital devices, and examine whether busyness is crowding out intimacy with God. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, constantly rushed, or spiritually disconnected despite being productive, this conversation will help you recognize the deeper root of the problem—and prepare you for the solutions coming in the next episode. In This Episode We Discuss
Key Takeaways 1. Modern life is built around speed—not soul care. Historically, people lived according to natural rhythms—waking with the sun and resting after sunset. Today, alarm clocks, work schedules, and digital connectivity push us into an artificial pace that our bodies and spirits were never designed for. 2. Busyness has become a status symbol. Where wealth once meant leisure and rest, modern culture celebrates packed calendars, long work hours, and constant productivity. 3. Technology competes for your attention. Smartphones and social media platforms are intentionally designed to capture and keep your attention through dopamine-driven feedback loops. 4. Hurry isn’t just stressful—it’s spiritual. When our lives move too quickly, we lose the space required for reflection, prayer, and genuine connection with God. 5. Many of us are experiencing “hurry sickness.” This condition describes the constant feeling of being rushed, anxious about time, and trying to accomplish more in less time. Reflection QuestionsTake a moment to sit with these questions:
The episode proposes a powerful challenge inspired by the book: Turn off your phone for 24 hours. A digital Sabbath allows you to:
Consider trying this with the Blessed + Bossed Up community and observe what shifts in your awareness and connection with God. What’s Coming NextThis episode focuses on diagnosing the problem of hurry. In the next episode, we’ll begin exploring the practical solutions John Mark Comer presents for slowing down and restoring spiritual health in a fast-paced world. Resources Mentioned

| How Busyness Is Hurting Your Spiritual Life | 26 Feb 2026 | 00:41:02 | |
In this episode of Blessed + Bossed Up, Tatum kicks off the next book club series: The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer. https://amzn.to/4c9jPAK This national bestseller, with over one million copies sold, presents a compelling spiritual and emotional case against hurry and challenges the culture of busyness that defines modern life. For ambitious women balancing business, motherhood, marriage, leadership, and personal growth, this conversation is both timely and necessary. Although originally planning to wait until after midterms, Tatum began rereading this book sooner because she recognized subtle signs of internal hurry resurfacing in her own life. This episode is not just a book discussion—it is a personal reset and an invitation for listeners to do the same. In this episode, she explores:
Drawing from both the book and her own experience in therapy, Tatum also shares practical tools that help interrupt internal hurry, including:
One of the central themes discussed in this episode is the idea that hurry is not merely a productivity issue—it is a spiritual formation issue. As the book argues, love, joy, and peace are core characteristics of apprenticeship to Jesus. Yet all three are incompatible with a life lived in constant speed. Presence is required for love. Stillness is required for joy. Margin is required for peace. Tatum challenges listeners to reflect deeply:
This episode also addresses a sobering reality: many Christians are not in danger of renouncing their faith—but of settling for a distracted, shallow version of it. The invitation is clear: eliminate hurry before it eliminates depth. Listeners are encouraged to grab a copy of The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry and follow along as the book club continues in the next episode. Because building a successful life should never come at the cost of the soul. If this episode resonates, share it with another ambitious woman who needs permission—and accountability—to slow down. Tune in next week as the discussion continues.

| AI & the Christian Entrepreneur | 23 Feb 2026 | 00:51:31 | |
In this episode of Blessed + Bossed Up, we’re having a sober, faith-centered conversation about artificial intelligence—what it is, how it already shows up in daily life, and how Christian entrepreneurs should engage with it wisely. What AI Is (and why you’re already using it)AI is software trained on data to predict, recommend, recognize, or generate without being told every step. It’s embedded in:
AI isn’t just ChatGPT—and it’s here to stay. The tension people feelMany people want AI’s benefits but feel cautious about trust, jobs, privacy, and misinformation. Others either avoid it completely or rely on it too heavily. The core boundary for believersUse AI for labor, not revelation. Don’t use AI to interpret scripture, replace prayer, or seek direction for what God told you to build. Use it for support work—drafting, organizing, brainstorming, or saving time—without replacing dependence on the Holy Spirit. AI can easily become an idol because it’s designed to learn you and feed you what you want. Why this is good news for entrepreneursAs AI content becomes overly polished, the market is shifting toward authentic, human-led content. People want real stories, real connection, and less perfection—meaning you don’t need “TV-level” production to show up and stand out. Practical ways to use AI wisely
Keep the human connection: respond, engage, and make sure your voice stays present. Closing encouragementNow is a great time to launch what God called you to—without perfection—while using AI as a tool with wisdom, restraint, and spiritual discernment.

| Neutrality, Wisdom & Walking in the Spirit | 19 Feb 2026 | 00:44:11 | |
In the previous episode, we were supposed to wrap up The Spirit-Filled Life by Charles Stanley. After waking up at 3 a.m. to record a full 57-minute episode, the final 17 minutes didn’t save. Rather than end abruptly, this episode finishes the discussion properly. We conclude our book club conversation by examining two final spiritual markers of the Spirit-filled life:
We also prepare for our next book club selection: The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer. We will begin in about two weeks after midterms, so go ahead and grab your copy now. Marker #3: The Word of GodCharles Stanley outlines three key reading principles that help believers live a Spirit-filled life. 1. Look for Principles, Not Just PromisesMany believers are promise-centered, always searching for what God will do for them. But principles are more powerful for decision-making. A principle works like an equation:
When you consistently study the Word, those principles become ingrained. You won’t need to pause life to search for answers. The Holy Spirit will bring truth to your mind in real time. For Christian entrepreneurs especially, this is critical. You must be able to:
That kind of discernment only comes when the Word is already in you. 2. Read with Context — Remain NeutralOne of the most important themes of this episode is neutrality. Do not approach Scripture trying to get something out of it. Approach it to know Him. In an age of algorithms constantly feeding us what we already want to see, neutrality is difficult. But it is essential. Otherwise, we risk:
When you read neutrally, you allow the Word to confront you instead of you manipulating it to support what you already want. Neutrality produces peace, clarity, sensitivity, and maturity. If you approach Scripture asking, “How can I get God to work for me?” you will miss it. When you approach asking, “How can I be closer to Him?” everything changes. 3. Look for General PromisesThere are promises given to all believers for all time, including:
While God still speaks, He has already spoken extensively through Scripture. Personal revelation should always be filtered through biblical truth. Approaching the Word strictly from a mystical or subjective lens is dangerous. Spiritual maturity requires emotional maturity, restraint, and accountability. Marker #4: WisdomThe final spiritual marker of a Spirit-filled life is wisdom. The defining question: What is the wise thing for me to do? Wisdom exposes hidden motives. It shines light on greed, selfishness, pride, and lust. Wisdom goes beyond right and wrong. Something may not be sinful — but it may still not be wise. The Holy Spirit does not merely pull us away from sin. He keeps us far from the edge. Walking in WisdomExamples discussed in this episode include:
The Spirit-filled life is not about seeing how close you can get to the line without crossing it. It is about walking wisely and staying far from the brink. The Three-Dimensional Wisdom QuestionWhen making decisions, ask:
The Holy Spirit takes into account your history, your vulnerabilities, and your destiny. When He prompts you, it is for protection. Ignoring wisdom can have lasting consequences. Final ChargeIf you are not reading your Bible daily, start now. Buy a translation you understand. Read a little every day. Through daily reading, you give the Holy Spirit access to your mind and heart — access necessary for transformation. Next Book Club Pick The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry – John Mark Comer We will begin in approximately two weeks. Grab your copy and begin reading so you are ready when we start.

| The Bible Is the Holy Spirit’s Thoughts on Paper | 12 Feb 2026 | 00:43:37 | |
In this episode of the Blessed + Bossed Up Book Club, we continue wrapping up The Spirit-Filled Life by Charles Stanley by exploring one of the most important markers of living in step with the Holy Spirit: the Word of God. If you want to know what the Holy Spirit is saying, you must know what He has already said. The Bible is not just a collection of stories—it is the Holy Spirit’s thoughts on paper. It is objective, timeless truth that anchors us when our emotions, desires, and circumstances try to pull us in different directions. In this episode, I share why Scripture is the most reliable way to discern God’s will, the difference between subjective and objective study, and how to approach the Word in a way that produces spiritual maturity. I also share personal reflections on discipleship, parenting, and how God uses everyday moments to redirect us back to His truth. We also announce our next Blessed + Bossed Up Book Club pick: The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer—a powerful follow-up that will help us establish a pace of life that keeps us aligned with the Spirit. Key Takeaways
Book Club Announcement: Our Next Read Our next Blessed + Bossed Up Book Club selection is: The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer This book addresses one of the greatest threats to our spiritual sensitivity: hurry. It will help us establish rhythms that allow us to remain emotionally healthy, spiritually alive, and aligned with God’s pace.

| Train Your Spirit Before the Test Comes | 06 Feb 2026 | 00:42:45 | |
In this episode, Tatum shares a timely message about building spiritual muscle memory—the discipline of training your spirit to respond automatically to God, especially in seasons of pressure, warfare, and transition. Just as physical muscle memory develops through consistent repetition, spiritual muscle memory develops through daily prayer, studying the Word, obedience, and intentional separation from environments that weaken your spiritual strength. This episode serves as both an encouragement and a call to action for those who know they are being stretched, tested, and prepared for greater responsibility. Tatum explains why spiritual consistency—not emotional intensity—is what sustains you through seasons of elevation and opposition. If you have been feeling pressure in multiple areas of your life, this episode will help you understand what is happening, how to respond, and how to strengthen your spiritual posture so you can stand firm in what God has called you to do. In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
Spiritual Muscle Memory Training your spirit to respond to God automatically through consistent prayer, scripture study, and obedience. Quality Repetition Not just hearing the Word, but studying it, writing it down, understanding it, and applying it so it becomes embedded within you. Proactive Spiritual Discipline Building strength before crisis occurs so your response is rooted in truth, not emotion. Separation and Protection Removing yourself from environments and habits that weaken your spiritual clarity and authority. Accountability and Spiritual Covering Strengthening your spiritual consistency through prayer partnerships and community. Scripture Referenced

| The Core Competencies of Commitment | 30 Jan 2026 | 00:41:53 | |
In this episode of Blessed and Bossed Up, Tatum reframes commitment from a biblical perspective. Rather than defining commitment as discipline, motivation, or consistency, she defines it as spiritual restraint—the willingness to restrict your freedom of action in order to fully submit to God’s way. This teaching explores why commitment is a distinguishing mark of believers and how inconsistent restraint can quietly lead us from dependence on the Holy Spirit into self-sufficiency. Episode Highlights
Tatum examines the lives of King Asa and King Jehoshaphat to show how waning commitment and partial obedience produced long-term consequences. Both kings were generally faithful but inconsistent in restraint:
Their stories reveal that partial obedience and strategic compromise can open doors we never intended to open. The Five Core Competencies of CommitmentCommitment to the Lord should be distinguishable. These five competencies serve as markers of true spiritual commitment:
Research shows that commitment bridges the gap between intention and action. Many people struggle not because they lack desire, but because they lack commitment. This biblical framework for commitment not only produces consistency in action, but also spiritual fruit, deeper intimacy with God, and alignment with His will. Closing ThoughtCommitment is not about productivity alone. It is about pleasing the Father, finishing the assignment, and stewarding the life God entrusted to us.

| Understanding Peace as a Spiritual Marker | 26 Jan 2026 | 00:44:19 | |
In this episode of Blessed + Bossed Up, we continue our book club discussion of The Spirit-Filled Life by Charles Stanley, wrapping up Part Three of the book. These final chapters focus on the spiritual markers the Holy Spirit uses to confirm God’s will—and today’s conversation dives into the first two: peace and the conscience. Tatum unpacks why peace is often the first and clearest indicator that the Holy Spirit is either affirming or resisting a decision. Through a powerful story from Charles Stanley’s own ministry—where waiting on God led to a debt-free miracle—this episode challenges the tendency to panic, self-rely, or rationalize disobedience when God seems silent. The episode also includes several personal testimonies illustrating how the absence or presence of peace has guided major life decisions, from entrepreneurship and ministry to relationships and family choices. These stories highlight that spiritual maturity is not a prerequisite for the Holy Spirit to lead—He speaks from the very beginning of our walk with God. In the second half of the episode, the discussion turns to Stanley’s second marker: the conscience. While acknowledging the biblical framework presented in the book, Tatum offers honest reflection and thoughtful critique, questioning whether the conscience should be treated as a distinct marker separate from the Holy Spirit’s work of renewing the mind. This portion of the conversation invites listeners into deeper discernment, encouraging them to study Scripture, pray intentionally, and test what resonates with the Spirit. The episode closes with practical reflection questions from the book to help listeners evaluate decisions they may be facing—especially when peace seems unclear or external advice conflicts with inner conviction. This episode is an invitation to slow down, listen closely, and trust that the Holy Spirit is actively leading—even when His direction doesn’t make logical sense Our Sponsors: * Check out IXL and use my code TODAY for a great deal: https://www.ixl.com * Check out NerdWallet: https://nerdwallet.com/blessed * Check out Peace Corps: https://peacecorps.gov/serve * Check out Time4Learning: https://www.time4learning.com Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy | |||

Today’s episode is a special one—Tatum sits down with Raevyn Hokett, a longtime friend and fan-favorite guest who first entered Tatum’s life as her business coach back in 2014, helping her transition from employee to full-time entrepreneur. Their relationship has grown over the years into genuine friendship (Tatum even officiated Raevyn and her husband Tim’s wedding!), and in this conversation they go deep on what it really means to build a legacy God’s way. Together, they unpack legacy and longevity in entrepreneurship, how to steward influence and resources, and why “doing business God’s way” often includes wilderness seasons that teach dependence, humility, and true alignment.

| The Power of Neutrality | 17 Jan 2026 | 00:41:21 | |
In this episode of Blessed + Bossed Up, the host continues the book club series with The Spirit-Filled Life by Charles Stanley, covering Chapters 13 and 14, which focus on the Holy Spirit’s role in guidance, decision-making, sensitivity, and neutrality before God. The episode opens with an invitation to the Clarity Reset, a free two-week challenge inside The Society, designed to help participants realign their capacity, priorities, and spiritual focus by slowing down rather than adding more. Episode Highlights:
Key Takeaway: Clarity comes from sensitivity, and sensitivity grows when believers approach God with a neutral heart—willing to release their own agendas and fully submit to His will. Resources Mentioned:

| The Position of Your Mind Determines the Posture of Your Life (w/ Kristen Hopkins Vincent) | 14 Jan 2026 | 01:04:09 | |
In this episode, I’m joined by my friend and podcast fave Kristen Hopkins Vincent—and yes, we’re talking about the Vincent part today! Kristen returns with powerful updates on her life (she’s a wife and a mom now!) and on the incredible work happening through Black SEL. We dig into Kristen’s transition from Dangers of the Mind to Black SEL, why culturally-rooted social and emotional learning is essential for Black communities, and what it looks like to build a mission-driven organization with radical obedience to God. Kristen shares moments where obedience didn’t make sense—like moving forward with a major conference during a hurricane—and how God confirmed the vision through provision, research, and undeniable fruit. We also talk about the very real emotions that come up when you’re following God’s timing: shame, guilt, feeling unseen, and learning how to embrace seasons of being hidden. And Kristen’s testimony around marriage and motherhood is such a needed reminder: it’s not too late, and God is always intentional. Before we get into it: Kristen and her husband received the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award—and she forgot to mention it in the conversation because that’s what happens when you’re focused on obedience and doing the Lord’s work.

| Doing God’s Work God’s Way | 09 Jan 2026 | 00:46:45 | |
In this bonus episode, we officially pick back up our book club read of The Spirit-Filled Life by Charles Stanley after pausing in Q4 due to major life transitions, including starting law school and welcoming a new baby. The goal now is simple: finish the book together and apply it practically as we move into a new year. If you are new to the book club, all previous episodes are linked in the show notes, along with the link to purchase the book. This remains one of my top Christian books of all time and one I believe should be reread regularly, especially at the beginning of the year. Today’s Focus: Chapter 11 — Doing God’s Work God’s WayWhile this episode technically covers Chapters 11 and 12, the primary focus is Chapter 11. Chapter 12 largely reiterates themes already covered earlier in the book regarding the Holy Spirit, so today’s discussion centers on what it truly looks like to build, work, and live by God’s Spirit rather than our own strength. The chapter opens with Zechariah 4:6–7: “Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord of hosts.” Using the story of Zerubbabel rebuilding the temple, Charles Stanley reminds us that:
This scripture is a critical anchor for anyone building a business, pursuing goals, or stepping into God-ordained work. No Separation Between Spiritual and Secular WorkColossians 3:23–24 reminds us that “whatever you do” is service to the Lord. God does not divide life into sacred and secular categories. Your job, business, career, and daily responsibilities are all part of your calling. Even in environments where faith cannot be openly expressed, excellence, humility, integrity, and Spirit-dependence still glorify God. Your work ethic and posture can be a bridge to someone who may never step into a church. Two Ways to Approach God’s WorkDoing God’s work in the flesh looks like:
Doing God’s work by the Spirit looks like:
God’s work done God’s way carries an unmistakable mark. It produces transformation, not just emotional stimulation or surface-level success. Five Indicators You’re Doing God’s Work God’s WayAccording to Charles Stanley, Spirit-led work is marked by:
If these are not currently descriptive of you, that is not condemnation—it is an invitation to course-correct. Final EncouragementThis episode is especially timely for the beginning of the year, when many of us are setting goals and making plans. If you started the year operating in the flesh, now is the time to bring those plans back to God, repent of self-sufficiency, and realign your posture. Write these five indicators down. Keep Zechariah 4:6 somewhere visible. Check yourself often and intentionally choose to do God’s work God’s way. We have two more bonus episodes to finish the book before moving on to our next book club pick. Thank you for listening to another episode of the Blessed + Bossed Up podcast.

| How to Make Spirit-Led Business Decisions pt. 3 | 01 Jan 2026 | 00:36:29 | |
**Disclaimer** We are currently on our annual winter break. This is a replay of an episode that aired earlier in 2025. 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. Tatum speaks to the emotional and spiritual tension of following God with excellence while trusting Him to guide every step—even when plans change. She also shares a personal story about obeying the Holy Spirit with no confirmation and how that decision ultimately protected her and her family. This episode will shift your mindset around delays, reframe how you view closed doors, and help you move forward with peace and confidence. Key Takeaways

| When Obedience Costs You Everything | 01 Dec 2025 | 00:53:07 | |
In this vulnerable end-of-year episode, Tatum opens up about navigating a year of big transition—welcoming a new baby, starting law school, stewarding family and business, and still choosing to make God the CEO of it all. She shares how 2025 has exposed areas for growth, internal “shoulds,” and noise… but also how her foundation in God has kept her steady. Tatum also announces that the podcast will be on pause for December as she focuses on finals, rest, and seeking God for the next phase of the Bible on Business series—coming back in the new year with more teaching and visual, behind-the-scenes content. Then we dive back into Part 2 of her powerful conversation with Pastor Tiffany Sowah. Tiffany shares the real cost of obedience: relocating in 30 days off fragmented instructions from God, losing a major federal contract, walking through a “manna season” where she and her husband had just enough for each day, and even surrendering her dream car and apartment. She talks honestly about anger, depression, and feeling like she’d “lost everything”—and how God reframed it as giving everything up to follow Him. This episode is for the entrepreneur, leader, or believer who is:

| The Cost of Obedience w| Pastor Tiffany Sowah | 20 Nov 2025 | 00:52:09 | |
In this episode of Blessed + Bossed Up, Tatum sits down with one of our favorites, Pastor Tiffany Sowah, 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:
They also talk about:
This 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.

| Faith Doesn’t Replace Fundamentals | 14 Nov 2025 | 00:53:44 | |
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.

| From Revelation to Practice | 24 Oct 2025 | 00:47:44 | |
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 Summary Tatum 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.

| Faith, Contentment & Boundaries | 09 Oct 2025 | 00:47:12 | |
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:
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:
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:
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:
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:
Key Takeaway: “Motherhood should multiply your grace, not your chaos. Prepare now so peace leads the transition.”--- Have questions?

| Your Reminder to be Bold | 19 Sep 2025 | 00:43:23 | |
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:
This 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 | 08 Sep 2025 | 00:47:17 | |
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.

| Addicted to Control | 30 Aug 2025 | 00:50:50 | |
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:
This episode will equip you to exchange control for surrender and experience the internal harmony God desires for you.

| We don't supress, we submit | 21 Aug 2025 | 00:49:30 | |
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:

| How Cognitive Overload Blocks Your Spiritual Sensitivity | 24 Jul 2025 | 00:38:56 | |
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 powerful episode of the Blessed + Bossed Up podcast, we return to our book club pick, The Spirit-Filled Life by Dr. Charles Stanley. Tatum shares how this book, one of her top three faith-based reads, is personally guiding her through a season of transition—navigating life with a new baby, two businesses, marriage, and preparing to return to school. She unpacks Chapter 3’s key revelations on surrender, highlighting Dr. Stanley’s honest reflections on secret sin, burnout in ministry, and the life-changing realization that fruitfulness doesn’t come from striving—but abiding. Tatum draws a striking parallel between Charles Stanley’s breakthrough and her own need to resist self-sufficiency and embrace the Holy Spirit’s power. Through practical takeaways—like meditating on Galatians 2:20, creating margin for God’s presence, and allowing grace to reset your internal pace—this episode offers a refreshing invitation to stop doing and start depending.

She also shares practical examples (from YouVersion to McDonald’s global menus) and offers 3 concrete ways to start applying these principles in your own brand—whether you’re already in business or preparing to launch. If you’re a faith-led entrepreneur looking to improve your marketing, messaging, or audience engagement while staying true to the Word, this episode is your blueprint. 📖 Scripture:Acts 17:22–31 (NLT) Paul contextualizes the gospel for the Athenians at the Areopagus, modeling how to reach new audiences with truth and strategy.
