In this episode of Blessed and Bossed Up, we continue our book club discussion on Leadership as an Identity: The Four Traits of Those Who Wield Lasting Influence by Crawford W. Loritts. This week, we dive into Chapter 9, His Presence, exploring how true leadership requires an uncommon communion with God. Tatum unpacks the significance of leading from God’s presence and shares personal experiences of how seeking Him first provides wisdom, direction, and supernatural provision.
