In this episode, Tatum shares a timely message about building spiritual muscle memory—the discipline of training your spirit to respond automatically to God, especially in seasons of pressure, warfare, and transition.

Just as physical muscle memory develops through consistent repetition, spiritual muscle memory develops through daily prayer, studying the Word, obedience, and intentional separation from environments that weaken your spiritual strength.

This episode serves as both an encouragement and a call to action for those who know they are being stretched, tested, and prepared for greater responsibility. Tatum explains why spiritual consistency—not emotional intensity—is what sustains you through seasons of elevation and opposition.

If you have been feeling pressure in multiple areas of your life, this episode will help you understand what is happening, how to respond, and how to strengthen your spiritual posture so you can stand firm in what God has called you to do.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

What spiritual muscle memory is and why it matters
Why spiritual disciplines must become automatic, not occasional
How consistent prayer strengthens your spiritual resilience
The difference between repetition and quality repetition in spiritual growth
Why studying and understanding scripture deeply increases its effectiveness in your life
