In this powerful bonus episode, Tatum dives back into the Blessed + Bossed Up Book Club, continuing the discussion on Leadership as an Identity by Crawford Loritts. This episode focuses on the essential leadership trait of brokenness and how God uses our weaknesses to demonstrate His strength.

Tatum shares personal reflections on how pride can sneak into leadership and how surrendering our weaknesses allows God to move powerfully through us. She also encourages listeners to reframe their perspective on inadequacies and lean fully into God's grace.

Key Topics Covered:

  • The four traits of lasting Christian leadership: Brokenness, Uncommon Communion, Servanthood, and Radical Obedience.
  • How pride can manifest subtly in leadership and how to guard against it.
  • The importance of embracing weaknesses as opportunities for God to display His strength.
  • Lessons from Moses on surrendering excuses and trusting God's sufficiency (Exodus 3).
  • Discerning when to take action and when to wait on God.

Key Scriptures Mentioned:

  • 2 Corinthians 11:30 – “If I must boast, I will boast in the things that show my weakness.”
  • 2 Corinthians 12:9 – “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”
  • Proverbs 3:5-6 – “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.”
