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.
