Radical and Immediate Obedience

In today’s episode, we continue our Leadership as an Identity book club series with Part Four: Radical and Immediate Obedience. Tatum dives deep into what it means to be obedient to God without delay, especially in the context of Christian entrepreneurship.

This powerful conversation challenges us to reflect on whether we're truly following God’s instructions or simply doing what feels comfortable. From examining Saul’s partial obedience in 1 Samuel 15 to sharing her own experiences of choosing obedience over personal discomfort, Tatum offers real-life wisdom for believers called to lead.

You’ll learn:

• Why obedience is better than sacrifice—and how disobedience can block your destiny
• How to discern God’s mission for your business and operate creatively within His boundaries
• The difference between contentment and complacency
• Why unresolved authority issues may be hindering your trust and obedience to God
• The importance of repentance, sensitivity to the Holy Spirit, and quick obedience

If you're ready to move from good ideas to God-led assignments, this episode is for you.
