Start With Sobriety
Episode summary:
Today we kick off a new how-to series answering a listener’s question: “I study what you teach, but I still feel stuck.” Tatum lays the foundation—sobriety of mind and spirit—so you can actually apply the Bible to your business. She shares her pruning season (fasting, laying down a growing business, guarding inputs), why entrepreneurship can be intoxicating, and how to detox the influences that dull your sensitivity to the Holy Spirit. You’ll get a free 30-day Clarity Cleanse to practice sober-minded focus before we ever talk funnels, launches, or plans.

Scriptures referenced
- 1 Peter 5:8 – Be sober-minded and watchful.
- 1 Thessalonians 5:6–8 – Stay awake and sober; breastplate of faith and love.
- Mark 14:38 – Watch and pray; spirit willing, flesh weak.
- (Also mentioned across the episode: Romans 12:2; Philippians 4:8; 2 Corinthians 10:5; Psalm 119:37; Matthew 6:22; Psalm 139:23–24; Matthew 6:33; Proverbs 16:3)
Key takeaways
- Clarity precedes strategy. If you’re not sober-minded, you’ll chase metrics and momentum instead of God’s voice.
- “With” not “for.” You’re building with God as CEO—His timing, His blueprint, His outcomes.
- Guard your inputs. Influence creep is subtle: self-help replaces Scripture, “quick wins” replace consecration.
- Two paths. Mixed mentorship + hurry = wasted time and money; obedience in His timing = preserved energy, precise results, lasting fruit.
- Kingdom metrics ≠ vanity metrics. Success = pleasing God. Revenue follows revelation in due season.
5 intoxicating influences to detox
- Success culture & performance pressure
- Digital noise & comparison
- Mixed mentorship (many voices before The Voice)
- Materialism & metrics-based validation
- Over-independence (DIY vs. dependence on God)
The Clarity Cleanse (30 days)
A free, simple month of daily Scripture, reflection, declarations, and prayer to detox the mind, mouth, media, and motives so you can hear clearly and obey promptly.
