Episode description

In this episode of Blessed + Bossed Up, we continue our deep dive into Leadership as an Identity by Crawford Loritts. We explore Chapter 7, "Dealing with Discouragement," the final chapter in the book’s first section on brokenness. Tatum shares her personal experiences with discouragement, particularly as she prepares for law school and navigates business challenges. She discusses the importance of choosing truth, joy, faith, community, and service as essential tools to combat discouragement and remain steadfast in faith. This episode is filled with wisdom for Christian entrepreneurs and leaders facing setbacks or uncertainty in their journey.

Key Takeaways:

  • Understanding Brokenness: Brokenness is a necessary trait of Christian leadership, alongside uncommon communion, servanthood, and radical obedience.
  • The Reality of Discouragement: Every leader faces discouragement, but how we respond determines if it will break us or refine us.
  • Choosing Truth: Avoid denial and embrace both the reality of challenges and the truth of God’s Word.
  • Choosing Joy: Joy is a choice, not an involuntary response. Focus on the presence of God rather than circumstances.
  • Choosing Faith: Faith requires trusting God even when the future feels uncertain.
  • Choosing Community: Isolation can distort reality. Surrounding yourself with wise counsel and support is vital.
  • Choosing Service: Serving others even in difficult times brings healing and purpose.
