When Obedience Costs You Everything


Listen Later

In this vulnerable end-of-year episode, Tatum opens up about navigating a year of big transition—welcoming a new baby, starting law school, stewarding family and business, and still choosing to make God the CEO of it all. She shares how 2025 has exposed areas for growth, internal “shoulds,” and noise… but also how her foundation in God has kept her steady.

Tatum also announces that the podcast will be on pause for December as she focuses on finals, rest, and seeking God for the next phase of the Bible on Business series—coming back in the new year with more teaching and visual, behind-the-scenes content.

Then we dive back into Part 2 of her powerful conversation with Pastor Tiffany Sowah. Tiffany shares the real cost of obedience: relocating in 30 days off fragmented instructions from God, losing a major federal contract, walking through a “manna season” where she and her husband had just enough for each day, and even surrendering her dream car and apartment. She talks honestly about anger, depression, and feeling like she’d “lost everything”—and how God reframed it as giving everything up to follow Him.

This episode is for the entrepreneur, leader, or believer who is:

  • Wrestling with hesitation around a big instruction from God
  • Questioning if they “heard Him right” because obedience led to hardship
  • In a season where it feels like everything is being stripped, not added
  • Wanting to understand what it really means to count the cost and still say “yes”

We also share the heart behind the New Year’s Eve Prayer-a-thon, how it was birthed in the middle of Tiffany’s lowest financial season, and why you absolutely want to be in the virtual room this year.

The Prayer-a-thon: Heart + Invitation
  • How the first Prayer-a-thon (Dec 2023) was birthed while Tiffany was working a seasonal job at Ross, living with her parents, and rebuilding from scratch
  • The purpose of the Prayer-a-thon: to end the year and enter the next one in the only place that sustains us—God’s presence
  • Growing from an 8–12 hour broadcast to an 18–20 hour global prayer experience with people joining from all over the world
  • Testimonies of people who planned to “hop on for a bit” and ended up staying all day
  • Why you should come ready to log in “for an hour”… but be prepared to want to stay much longer
