In today’s deeply personal episode, Tatum steps away from her usual teaching to share a raw and unfiltered story from her recent postpartum journey. After believing she heard clearly from God that she would have a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean), Tatum walks us through the heartbreak, confusion, and emotional toll of experiencing an outcome that looked very different from what she believed God promised.

This episode isn’t tied up in a bow. It’s a real-time reflection on what it means to be holy and human—to love God deeply, but also feel hurt, to trust Him fully, and still ask “Why?”

If you've ever:

• Felt sure you heard from God but the result didn’t match,
• Struggled with disappointment while trying to remain faithful,
• Wrestled with postpartum emotions, trauma, or spiritual confusion,
• Needed language for navigating your feelings while staying close to God...

This episode is for you.

Tatum reminds us that even in our confusion, God is still near, and we can give Him our broken hearts to heal—even before the revelation comes.

• How to process disappointment with God without pulling away from Him
• Why your feelings are valid and don’t disqualify your faith
• The enemy’s strategy to use spiritual vulnerability for warfare
• How to stay committed even when you don’t have clarity
• The beauty of surrendering your heart before the “aha moment” comes

• Job 13:15 – “Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.”
• Psalm 34:18 – “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted…”
• Isaiah 55:8–9 – “My thoughts are not your thoughts…”
• Proverbs 3:5 – “Trust in the Lord with all your heart…”

• A woman navigating postpartum emotions or birth trauma
• Anyone who feels disappointed by God or let down by an outcome

Episode Summary:

In this powerful episode of Blessed + Bossed Up, Tatum shares an unfiltered testimony of entrepreneurship, spiritual warfare, and God's faithfulness through seasons of pressure. Beginning with a prophetic insight about not being swayed by metrics in this current season, she unpacks the biblical story of Noah as a template for endurance in business.

Tatum walks us through her real-life journey of purchasing Anchored Media Studios, facing unexpected financial pressure, laying off team members, and enduring what felt like a wilderness season—all while staying obedient to God's instructions. This episode is more than encouragement; it's a blueprint for those navigating long seasons of testing and waiting.

Whether you're in a slow season, feeling discouraged, or questioning if your business will survive, this episode reminds you that endurance is part of the calling—and God rewards those who remain faithful under pressure.

Key Takeaways:

• Endurance ≠ failure. It’s the strategy that qualifies you for promotion.
• Do not misread your season. Lack of results does not mean lack of favor.
• Remain under the weight. Some suffering is your portion, not your punishment.
• Obedience breeds provision. God gave Tatum specific instructions that led to breakthrough.
• Testimonies inspire transformation. Your perseverance encourages others to keep going.

Scriptural References:

• Genesis 6–9 (Noah’s obedience during corrupt times)
• James 5:11 (Job and endurance)
• Romans 4:20–21 (Abraham’s faith)
• Hebrews 11:1 (Faith in the unseen)

Practical Applications:

1. Have faith in the unseen. Follow God’s instruction even if you see no results.
2. Persevere through the challenges. Know that pressure is producing something.
3. Endure delayed gratification. God’s timing is not your timing—but it’s perfect.
4. Trust God’s timeline. Waiting is a sign of maturity, not a waste of time.
5. Know your testimony matters. Someone else’s breakthrough depends on your endurance.
