Working While Bleeding

Author: Anchored Media Network June 3, 2025 Duration: 39:25

In this powerful installment of the Bible on Business series, Tatum unpacks the biblical principle of perseverance and its critical role in building a legacy business. Drawing from Acts 14 and Acts 16, we examine the unwavering resilience of Paul—stoned, rejected, and imprisoned—yet unshaken in his mission. Tatum shares personal stories of business disappointment, failed launches, and doubt, while teaching listeners how to endure well with hope and strategy. She also bridges the Word to the marketplace by highlighting the perseverance of Howard Schultz, former CEO of Starbucks, who was rejected over 200 times before transforming the coffee industry. If you’ve ever faced discouragement in your entrepreneurial journey, this episode will re-center your focus, rekindle your faith, and equip you to keep going.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • What biblical perseverance really means (hint: it’s not just “pushing through”)
  • How to apply Acts 14 & 16 to your business strategy
  • The difference between godly grit and emotional striving
  • How to view business failure through a Kingdom lens
  • Why legacy takes long-term faith, not short-term emotion
  • How Howard Schultz used perseverance to build Starbucks after hundreds of rejections
