In this special crossover episode, Tamra Andress joins Tierney Shirell from The Live Bold Movement to unpack what it really means to lead with faith, courage, and conviction in today’s fast-paced world. From the heart behind Founder Con to the mission of the Messenger Movement, Tamra shares how God uses surrendered leaders—not perfect ones—to spark revival in homes, businesses, and communities.
You’ll hear raw reflections on leadership, burnout, humility, and prophetic activation—and how God refines us through both the fire and the favor. This episode is equal parts encouragement and commissioning for anyone feeling called to rise, rebuild, or simply rest in obedience.
Key Takeaways
- Leadership starts with self-leadership. Before you can lead others, you must let God lead you—body, mind, and spirit.
- Surrender beats strategy. A surrendered heart posture opens more doors than any business plan ever could.
- You are a messenger. Whether you lead a team, a family, or a mission, your story carries eternal impact.
- Prophetic gifting has a place in business. Tamra and Tierney discuss how hearing from God can guide decision-making, creative direction, and team alignment.
- Refinement is part of revival. God doesn’t waste the fire; He uses it to purify, prepare, and propel you forward.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
