In this special crossover episode, Tamra Andress joins Tierney Shirell from The Live Bold Movement to unpack what it really means to lead with faith, courage, and conviction in today’s fast-paced world. From the heart behind Founder Con to the mission of the Messenger Movement, Tamra shares how God uses surrendered leaders—not perfect ones—to spark revival in homes, businesses, and communities.

You’ll hear raw reflections on leadership, burnout, humility, and prophetic activation—and how God refines us through both the fire and the favor. This episode is equal parts encouragement and commissioning for anyone feeling called to rise, rebuild, or simply rest in obedience.

Key Takeaways

• Leadership starts with self-leadership. Before you can lead others, you must let God lead you—body, mind, and spirit.

• Surrender beats strategy. A surrendered heart posture opens more doors than any business plan ever could.
• 
  
• You are a messenger. Whether you lead a team, a family, or a mission, your story carries eternal impact.
• 
  
• Prophetic gifting has a place in business. Tamra and Tierney discuss how hearing from God can guide decision-making, creative direction, and team alignment.
• 
  
• Refinement is part of revival. God doesn’t waste the fire; He uses it to purify, prepare, and propel you forward.
