We explore one of the core traits of godly leadership: Brokenness. This chapter opens with a story about Jason, a fictional character embodying the struggles many leaders face when pride and self-sufficiency creep in. His journey shows how brokenness and dependence on God are essential for lasting influence.
Key Takeaways:The Danger of Self-SufficiencyJasonâs story highlights how pride can lead to isolation, even when outward success is evident. His struggles serve as a reminder that self-sufficiency is a subtle but dangerous trap.What is Brokenness?Brokenness is a conscious, ongoing awareness of your need for God in all things. Itâs not a one-time event but a lifestyle that keeps you humble and dependent on Him.Inadequacy as a StrengthFeeling inadequate is an opportunity to rely on Godâs power. Leaders often face assignments bigger than their natural abilities, and that gap is where God shows up.The Role of Humility in LeadershipWhether young or experienced, leaders must guard against pride. The author emphasizes that godly leadership requires character over competence and dependency over self-reliance.Isaiah 57:15This scripture beautifully captures Godâs dual nature: His sovereignty and His closeness to the humble and brokenhearted. He revives those who acknowledge their need for Him.Encouragement for Leaders:If youâre facing an overwhelming task, remember: There is always a gap between what you have and what God wants done. Let this gap drive you to deeper dependence on Him. Your inadequacy is not a barrier but an invitation for God to work through you.
Next Steps:Weâll cover Chapter 3 in the next episode, so stay tuned! If you havenât already, grab your copy of Leadership as an Identity . This book will challenge and equip you to lead with humility and dependence on God. https://a.co/d/hcoWf8X

Janique also shares a practical framework called STOP, a simple method to help you refocus and reconnect with God amidst lifeâs chaos.

Pause the physical movement to give your body and mind a chance to be still.T: Take a breath. Practice intentional breathing to regulate your nervous system.O: Observe. Take note of your thoughts and feelings, and be honest with yourself about whatâs weighing on you.P: Pray. Speak Godâs Word over your situation, and proceed with confidence knowing He is with you.Practical Advice: Janique provides actionable steps on how to limit distractions, such as putting your phone on "Do Not Disturb," setting boundaries, and intentionally seeking quiet time with God.How to Listen and Subscribe

Welcome back to another installment of our Bible on Business series! In todayâs episode, we dive into the powerful message that Kingdom Entrepreneurs are Disruptors. Through the example of Apostle Paul in Ephesus (Acts 19:23-32), we explore how true kingdom businesses inevitably challenge cultural and economic norms, much like Paulâs ministry did against idolatry and occultic practices in Ephesus.
Episode Highlights:
The Disruptive Impact of Kingdom BusinessesPaulâs ministry in Ephesus created an economic and spiritual ripple effect, revealing the clash between kingdom values and societal idols like greed, idolatry, and exploitation. As kingdom entrepreneurs, we must be prepared to face similar resistance when operating with integrity and purpose.The Inevitable âRiotâJust as Paulâs ministry sparked a riot, modern kingdom businesses often challenge norms that are deeply embedded in the business world. From hustle culture to manipulative marketing, todayâs entrepreneurs are called to disrupt these standards, knowing that resistance is part of the journey.Building Businesses with Integrity and ImpactTatum shares practical tips for maintaining purity in business, including transparent pricing, prioritizing purpose over profit, and incorporating charity. By staying rooted in prayer, relying on community support, and being intentional about leaving a legacy that glorifies God rather than self, entrepreneurs can build resilient, kingdom-focused businesses.Key Takeaways for Disruptive Kingdom Entrepreneurship:
Transparent Pricing and Practices â Build trust by being open about materials, sources, and policies that prioritize integrity.Prioritize Purpose Over Profit â Support charitable causes or community initiatives, demonstrating that the kingdom purpose is greater than the bottom line.Root Yourself in Prayer and Community â Prayer and community are essential for navigating the challenges of disrupting worldly systems.Ensure a Legacy of Faith, Not Fame â Aim to leave a Christ-centered legacy by putting Christ at the center of all business activities.Scripture Reference:
Acts 19:23-32 â Paulâs ministry in Ephesus and the disruptive impact it had on a society steeped in idolatry.Tatum encourages listeners to embrace the reality that as kingdom entrepreneurs, theyâre called to disrupt the status quo. With wisdom from Paulâs journey and practical tips, this episode empowers listeners to courageously confront opposition, build ethically, and leave a lasting impact that glorifies God.
Don't Forget: If this podcast has blessed you, leave us a 5-star review and share with friends, family, or colleagues who might be encouraged by these insights. Your support helps us spread the message and empower more entrepreneurs to make God the CEO of their businesses.

Welcome back to another episode of the Blessed and Bossed Up podcast, presented by Anchored Media! This entrepreneurship podcast is designed for Christians seeking to make God the CEO of their businesses. Today, we kick off the first installment of our new Blessed and Bossed Up Book Club, diving into Leadership as an Identity by Dr. Crawford L. Loritts.
In This Episode:
After finishing Battlefield of the Mind by Joyce Meyer, weâre starting a new book focused on the four traits of godly leadership: brokenness, uncommon communion, servanthood, and radical obedience.Dr. Loritts discusses how leadership is a calling from God, requiring traits that go beyond skills and abilities. The person God trusts with leadership is the person who can fulfill His divine assignments.We talk about how this book is especially timely as we approach the new year. Now is the perfect time to evaluate our leadership roles and focus on becoming leaders who honor Godâs standards, not just the worldâs.What We Discuss:
Introduction to the Book:Dr. Crawford L. Loritts was initially hesitant about writing this book, believing enough leadership books existed. However, after teaching a leadership class, he realized the need for this unique perspective on Christian leadership.The Four Leadership Traits:BrokennessUncommon CommunionServanthoodRadical and Immediate ObediencePhases of Leadership:Learning (Ages 20-40): Focus on flexibility, growth, and remaining open to God's direction.Leveraging (Ages 40-60): Balancing success with humility, staying diligent, and not becoming complacent.Leaving (Ages 60+): Preparing the next generation by sharing wisdom and experiences while continuing to serve.Key Perspectives on Leadership:The importance of avoiding the secularization of Christian leadership and keeping a God-centered approach in all leadership tasks.Understanding that godly leadership is not about position or fame but about fulfilling God's assignments.Why This Book Matters: As Christian entrepreneurs, leaders, and business owners, it's critical to align our leadership with biblical principles, ensuring that everything we do is for God's glory and not for worldly success. This episode challenges you to reflect on your leadership style and commit to leading with purpose, guided by Godâs direction.
Next Steps:
We will be covering Chapters 1-7 through December 2, 2024, before taking a podcast break. Get your copy of Leadership as an Identity to follow along and dive deeper into these powerful insights on godly leadership.Resources:

The preacher in Ecclesiastes reminds us that everything in life is like smokeâseemingly tangible but impossible to grasp.Striving for Success: Tatum speaks directly to those feeling overwhelmed by the pressures of success, career advancement, and comparison. The constant pursuit of material wealth and validation can leave us feeling empty, and Ecclesiastes offers wisdom that redirects our focus to what truly matters: obedience to God.False Teachings in Christian Entrepreneurship: Tatum highlights the dangers of prosperity gospel teachings that have rebranded themselves as Christian entrepreneurship. These teachings falsely equate material wealth and success with Godâs favor, distorting the true biblical message. She emphasizes that success is pleasing God and living in obedience to His word, not accumulating material wealth.A Biblical Perspective of Success: True success is defined by faithfulness to God, not the worldâs standards. Ecclesiastes reminds us that lifeâs pursuits are temporary, and only reverence to God and obedience to His commands will provide lasting peace, joy, and eternal rewards.Scriptures Referenced:Ecclesiastes 1:2 â Everything is meaningless, a reflection on the futility of lifeâs pursuits.Philippians 4:11-13 â Learning contentment in all circumstances.Matthew 6:31-33 â Trusting God for provision as we seek His kingdom first.1 Timothy 6:17-19 â Using wealth to do good and glorify God.James 1:2-4 â Embracing trials and suffering as opportunities for spiritual growth.Takeaways:Redefining Success: Success is not about wealth, status, or recognition but about obeying God and being faithful to His commands.The Dangers of Prosperity Gospel: Tatum dissects the false teachings of prosperity theology and urges believers to reject this harmful mindset. True biblical teaching calls for sacrifice, contentment, and obedience, not materialism.Perspective Shift for Q4: As we approach Q4 and begin reflecting on the year and planning for 2025, Tatum encourages listeners to adopt the correct point of view of success. This will bring clarity, peace, and alignment with Godâs will in both life and business.Action Steps:Reflect: Take time this week to read or listen to Ecclesiastes. Consider how your own definition of success lines up with biblical teachings.Plan with Purpose: Use the lessons from todayâs episode to adjust your mindset as you plan for the future, focusing on Godâs will and not the pressures of worldly success.Share: If this episode blessed you, share it with a friend or colleague, especially if you're entering planning sessions for the new year.

Welcome back to the Blessed and Bossed Up podcast presented by Anchored Media! In todayâs episode, we are wrapping up Joyce Meyerâs Battlefield of the Mind, diving into the final chapter: Wilderness Mentality #10: "I'm going to do it my way or not at all." Join Tatum as she reflects on the lessons learned throughout this book and the importance of obedience to Godâs Word, especially when it goes against our natural tendencies or desires.
Key Points:Obedience Over Sacrifice: Drawing from 1 Samuel 15:22-23, Tatum emphasizes that obedience to God is more important than any sacrifice we can make. God is looking for us to follow His will, not just do things that look good or feel right in our own eyes.End of the Wilderness Mentality: This final mentality is all about surrendering our will to Godâs. Tatum shares personal reflections on how this mentality has shown up in her own life, especially when things seem to be going well. Itâs easy to drift away from obedience when we arenât in desperate situations.Self-Reflection: Tatum challenges listeners to ask themselves, âHas my prayer life and obedience to God remained consistent, or have I become lax because my circumstances have improved?âPersonal Story: Tatum opens up about how sheâs had to confront her own strong-willed personality in her walk with God and how being obedient to His commands, even in small matters, has transformed her faith journey.Legacy of Obedience: Tatum encourages parents and leaders to consider the long-term impact of their obedience or disobedience on those they influence. Using examples from her own life and Joyce Meyerâs, she illustrates how our actions can influence future generations.Scriptures Referenced:Psalm 78:7-8 â Highlighting the stubbornness of the Israelites and the consequences of disobedience.1 Samuel 15:22-23 â Saulâs disobedience and the importance of obedience over sacrifice.Ecclesiastes 12:13 â The conclusion of King Solomonâs wisdom, emphasizing obedience as the ultimate duty of man.Takeaways:Obedience is a Daily Choice: Itâs not just about the big decisions, but the small, everyday instructions that God gives us. How are you following through on the daily habits Heâs asked you to implement?A Life Rooted in Obedience: True reverence for God comes from a life that is rooted in obedience. This is our ultimate duty as believers.Influence of Obedience: Your obedience impacts more than just your lifeâit affects your children, your family, and others in your sphere of influence.
Whatâs Next:We are starting a new book in our book club series! Our next read will be Leadership as an Identity: The Four Traits of Those Who Wield Lasting Influence by Crawford Loritz.

Welcome to another episode of the Blessed and Bossed Up podcast, presented by Anchored Media! This week, we dive into a topic that is essential for every entrepreneur, especially faith-based business owners: endurance. In this episode, Tatum reflects on the importance of persevering through challenges and not allowing analytics, numbers, or external measures of success to mislead you during seasons of change. The Lord is shifting the landscape, promoting some and demoting others, but the key is to stay the course.
Key Points:Endurance is Essential: God is doing a restructuring in the body of Christ and in the media space. Now is not the time to rely on numbers, analytics, or visible success measures. What matters most is staying faithful to the assignments He has given you.Biblical Foundation: Drawing from the story of Noah in Genesis 6, Tatum illustrates how Noahâs unwavering faith and obedience, even when it seemed ridiculous to others, brought about God's promises. Just like Noah, we must be willing to endure despite the ridicule or delayed gratification.Endurance Builds Character: Tatum shares her personal story of how she and her aunt opened Anchored Media Studios. While the process seemed smooth at first, it led to a season of intense suffering, stress, and challenges. But through it all, Godâs plan unfolded, and endurance produced financial freedom, fulfillment, and a deepened faith.Practical Tips for Endurance:Have faith in the unseen â Just like Noah, trust in God's instructions even when there are no visible signs of change.Persevere through challenges â Learn from Job, who was blessed for his unwavering faith in times of suffering.Endure through delayed gratification â Abraham's long wait for God's promise to be fulfilled is a reminder to stay patient.Trust God's timing â Like Joseph, who endured years of hardship before rising to power, trust that Godâs timing is perfect.Your endurance encourages others â Jesus' endurance on the cross led to salvation for the world. Your perseverance will inspire and uplift others.Scriptures Referenced:Genesis 6:5, Genesis 6:11, Genesis 6:9-22Romans 4:20-21James 5:11Philippians 4:8Practical Takeaways:Reflect on areas in your business where you're feeling discouraged or weary. How can you invite God into that space and trust Him with the outcome?When tempted to give up, focus on the bigger picture of Godâs purpose for your business.Surrender your struggles, stress, and doubts to the Lord, trusting that He will provide the strength to endure.
Final Thoughts:Stay encouraged, stay focused, and stay under the load. God sees your faithfulness and will reward your endurance. Keep pressing forward, and trust that He is working behind the scenes, even when you canât see it.
