Episode Description

<p><strong>Episode summary:</strong></p><p>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—<strong>sobriety of mind and spirit</strong>—so you can actually <em>apply</em> 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 <strong>Clarity Cleanse</strong> to practice sober-minded focus before we ever talk funnels, launches, or plans.</p><p><strong>Join The Society (community + Bible studies + prayer):</strong> https://www.blessedandbossedup.com/community</p><h3><strong>Scriptures referenced</strong></h3><ul><li><strong>1 Peter 5:8</strong> – Be sober-minded and watchful.</li><li><strong>1 Thessalonians 5:6–8</strong> – Stay awake and sober; breastplate of faith and love.</li><li><strong>Mark 14:38</strong> – Watch and pray; spirit willing, flesh weak.</li><li>(Also mentioned across the episode: <strong>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</strong>)</li></ul><h2><br></h2><h2>Key takeaways</h2><ul><li><strong>Clarity precedes strategy.</strong> If you’re not sober-minded, you’ll chase metrics and momentum instead of God’s voice.</li><li><strong>“With” not “for.”</strong> You’re building <em>with</em> God as CEO—His timing, His blueprint, His outcomes.</li><li><strong>Guard your inputs.</strong> Influence creep is subtle: self-help replaces Scripture, “quick wins” replace consecration.</li><li><strong>Two paths.</strong> Mixed mentorship + hurry = wasted time and money; obedience in His timing = preserved energy, precise results, lasting fruit.</li><li><strong>Kingdom metrics ≠ vanity metrics.</strong> Success = pleasing God. Revenue follows revelation in due season.</li></ul><h2><br></h2><h2>5 intoxicating influences to detox</h2><ol><li><strong>Success culture &amp; performance pressure</strong></li><li><strong>Digital noise &amp; comparison</strong></li><li><strong>Mixed mentorship</strong> (many voices before <em>The</em> Voice)</li><li><strong>Materialism &amp; metrics-based validation</strong></li><li><strong>Over-independence</strong> (DIY vs. dependence on God)</li></ol><h2><br></h2><h2>The Clarity Cleanse (30 days)</h2><p>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.</p><p><strong>Download:</strong> <a href="https://blessed-bossed-up.kit.com/claritycleanse?_gl=1%2Ajrpgn0%2A_gcl_au%2ANTA2NDAzNC4xNzYxOTU5MDU2LjE4MDQzOTc3LjE3NjIyMDAzMzcuMTc2MjIwMDMzNg.." rel="nofollow">blessed-bossed-up.kit.com/claritycleanse</a></p><br/><br/>Our Sponsors:<br/>* Check out BetterHelp: https://www.betterhelp.com<br/>* Check out Bobbie: https://www.hibobbie.com<br/>* Check out IXL and use my code TODAY for a great deal: https://www.ixl.com<br/>* Check out Marley Spoon: https://marleyspoon.com/offer/BLESSED<br/>* Check out NerdWallet: https://nerdwallet.com/blessed<br/>* Check out Trust & Will and use my code trustandwill.com /BLESSED for a great deal: https://trustandwill.com<br/><br/><br/>Support this podcast at — <a rel='payment' href='https://redcircle.com/blessed-bossed-up7264/donations'>https://redcircle.com/blessed-bossed-up7264/donations</a><br/><br/>Advertising Inquiries: <a href='https://redcircle.com/brands'>https://redcircle.com/brands</a><br/><br/>Privacy & Opt-Out: <a href='https://redcircle.com/privacy'>https://redcircle.com/privacy</a>
