**Disclaimer** We are currently on our annual winter break. This is a replay of an episode that aired earlier in 2025.
In this episode of Blessed and Bossed Up, we continue our Bible on Business series by diving into the significance of strategic timing. Tatum unpacks the powerful lessons from Acts 2, examining how the Lord orchestrated the perfect moment for Pentecost and how this applies to our business and leadership journeys. She discusses why waiting on God’s timing is crucial, how to avoid premature leadership, and how divine strategy ensures maximum impact.
Through the transformation of Peter, the example of Chick-fil-A’s success, and personal reflections on her own journey, Tatum emphasizes the importance of trusting God's plan. If you’re in a season of waiting or feeling impatient about your business or calling, this episode will encourage and challenge you to surrender to God's divine orchestration.
Key Takeaways:
- God’s Timing Ensures Maximum Impact: Pentecost happened at the exact right moment to maximize the spread of the gospel. Likewise, waiting on God's timing in your business will lead to greater impact.
- The Right People Will Be in Place When It's Time: God gathers the right audience, customers, and community when the timing aligns with His plan.
- Strategic Preparation Precedes Breakthrough: Just as Peter had to go through a transformation process, we must embrace personal and professional development while waiting for God’s move.
- Sudden Breakthroughs Are Often Years in the Making: From Jesus preparing 30 years for a 3-year ministry to Chick-fil-A’s 20-year foundation before expansion, major success takes time and patience.
- Avoid Premature Leadership & Decision-Making: Acting ahead of God’s plan can lead to consequences. Learning to wait well is key to success in both business and faith.
