Rhythm Matters More than Routine

In this powerful and deeply practical conclusion to the Spirit-Led Business Decisions series, Tatum wraps up what organically grew into a four-part journey into how Christian entrepreneurs can walk with God daily in their business—not just in theory, but in practice. In this final installment, she shifts from theological insight to real-world application, answering the question: "How do I make this a lifestyle and not just lip service?"

Tatum dives into Galatians 5:25 and unpacks what it truly means to "keep in step with the Spirit." She contrasts rhythm vs. routine, exploring why many believers struggle to remain connected to God in their daily grind, and how reclaiming spiritual rhythm—rooted in abiding, alignment, obedient action, and reflection—can transform not just your business, but your entire life.

This episode is for the believer who's tired of burnout, hungry for clarity, and ready to build what God saw before He formed them. If you're ready to stop sprinkling Jesus onto your plans and start submitting to His, this conversation is your blueprint.
