The Cost of Obedience w| Pastor Tiffany ...

ANCHORED MEDIA NETWORK
About this episode

In this episode of Blessed + Bossed Up, Tatum sits down with one of our favorites, Pastor Tiffany Soa, for a real and raw conversation about what it actually looks like to depend on God in business, ministry, and life.

The last time Tiffany was on the show was in 2020. Since then, everything has changed: she’s become Pastor Tiffany, married, relocated twice (from Philly to North Carolina and now living full-time in Ghana), shifted from multi–six-figure consulting to full-time ministry, and has walked through some of the hardest financial and emotional seasons of her life.

In Part 1 of this conversation, Tatum and Tiffany talk about the Bible on Business journey, the difference between worldly “Christian-branded” strategies and truly building from the Word, and the uncomfortable reality of learning to really depend on God when everything in you wants to lean on hustle, self-reliance, or what looks “practical” on paper.

Tiffany shares how God:

  • Took her from a busy life in Philly as a property owner and multi–six-figure business owner
  • Led her to North Carolina for a softer, more peaceful lifestyle and deeper feminine identity
  • Began quietly preparing her heart to slow down in business and ramp up in ministry
  • Used isolation, relocation, and hidden seasons to cultivate boldness, honesty, and a lifestyle of obedience

They also talk about:

  • Growing up in church vs. actually forming a personal relationship with God
  • How Catalyst Church in Philly became Tiffany’s training ground for intercession, obedience, and spiritual maturity
  • Why accountability, therapy, and spiritual covering matter so much when you’re hungry for God
  • The danger of consuming only digital, “sound bite” faith and how to slow down and discern voices online
  • Why wanting “more” (peace, better quality of life, financial freedom, the ability to be a kingdom financier) isn’t wrong—but must be submitted to God

This conversation is a masterclass in counting the cost, moving when God says move, and allowing Him to reshape your identity beyond hustle, proximity-based friendships, and public success.

Stay tuned for Part 2, where they dig into what happened when Tiffany’s business unraveled, the reality of manna seasons, grief in transitions, and how God used it all to expand her global ministry and birth the Prayerthon.
