Tatum opens up about a season where the demands of ministry, business, and family started to make her relationship with God feel transactional instead of relational. Drawing on personal testimony, research on dual-role relationships and boundary theory, and Scripture (Revelation 2:2–5, Matthew 7:21–23), she unpacks why this shift happens to those called to "do business God's way" — and shares seven practical guardrails to protect intimacy with God while still walking in purpose.

Key Topics

  • Why partnering with God in work can slowly turn relational closeness into a transactional exchange
  • Lessons from organizational psychology: role conflict, dual-role relationships, and boundary theory
  • A real-life example of healthy boundaries in a business partnership (Anchored Media Studios)
  • Revelation 2:2–5 — the warning to the church in Ephesus about losing "first love"
  • Matthew 7:21–23 — good works without true relationship

7 Guardrails to Protect Your Closeness with God

  1. Quiet time, no work allowed — protected time with God that isn't about output
  2. Get involved in in-person community — find an accountability partner
  3. Serve in ministry outside your professional skill set
  4. Practice the Sabbath
  5. Fast regularly — without asking for anything
  6. Worship without asking for anything (try 30 minutes a day)
  7. Keep a "God ideas" journal — capture downloads without acting on them immediately

Scripture Referenced

  • Revelation 2:2–5
  • Matthew 7:21–23
