Faith is not meant to stay confined to Sunday mornings. For Tabita See, founder of Empowered Professionals, living her faith means inviting God into every part of life: family, worship, leadership, service, and business.
In this feature for Living My Faith with James Fenimore, Tabita shares how surrender, Scripture, and a commitment to excellence have shaped her journey. Her story offers practical encouragement for anyone seeking to live with greater purpose, trust God more deeply, and bring faith into the way they work and serve.

A Faith That Shapes Every Area of Life
For Tabita, living out her faith is not limited to one setting. It influences how she leads, serves, parents, works, and responds to challenges.
She actively serves in her church family through the worship team, media, and hospitality ministries. Using the gifts God has given her to serve His Kingdom is, in her words, one of the greatest blessings of her life.
Worship as a Daily Connection with God
Worship has become one of the deepest ways Tabita connects with God. From the moment she wakes up until she goes to sleep, songs and worship lyrics are often on her heart.
Those lyrics frequently speak directly to the situations she is facing, reminding her of God’s faithfulness and presence. Worship is not just something she participates in; it is a daily rhythm that helps keep her focus on Christ.
Passing Faith to the Next Generation
One of Tabita’s greatest joys is seeing her love for Jesus and worship passed on to her son. While she enjoys singing, he expresses his love for God in his own way: behind the drum set.
Watching a child choose to follow Christ has reminded her that family is more than an earthly relationship. Through Christ, it is also an eternal one.
From Education to Christ-Centered Consulting
Less than a year ago, Tabita took one of the biggest steps of her life. She left the security of a stable career in education to start Empowered Professionals.
She felt God calling her to use her background in education, science, leadership, and professional development to help organizations strengthen their teams while honoring Him through her work.
That step required faith every day. There were moments when she could only see one step ahead, but she continued to trust that God could see the entire path.
Learning to Let God Lead the Business
One of the most meaningful parts of Tabita’s faith journey has been learning to stop separating her personal faith from her professional life.
Personally, her faith deepened when she chose to remain anchored in her Father’s arms, trusting that He is able to take care of everything. But bringing that same faith into her business was more challenging.
She realized she had created two separate compartments. She trusted God with her personal life, but in business, she was still trying to remain in control.
Over time, God showed her that He was not only involved in her personal life, but also deeply involved in her business. She learned that her role was not to carry every outcome on her own, but to steward faithfully what God had entrusted to her.
Working Hard Without Carrying What Belongs to God
Surrender did not mean Tabita stopped working hard. It meant she stopped carrying a burden that was never hers to carry.
Her responsibility is to work with excellence, steward opportunities well, and faithfully do her part. The results belong to God.
Today, Empowered Professionals is no longer separate from her faith. It is one of the ways she seeks to honor God, serve others, and trust Him with every opportunity, challenge, and outcome.
The Scripture That Guides Her Work
One Scripture has been especially meaningful to Tabita in this season:
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.” — Colossians 3:23 (NIV)
This verse is so central to her mission that she chose to print it on her business cards. It reminds her daily why she started Empowered Professionals.
For Tabita, work is ultimately an act of worship, not a pursuit of recognition or approval from others. Whether she is consulting with an organization, developing a training program, or serving a client, her desire is to work with excellence because she is serving God first.
Practical Encouragement for Living Out Your Faith
For anyone struggling to live out their faith or grow spiritually, Tabita offers encouragement rooted in two lessons that have profoundly shaped her journey.
Decide Who Is Truly in Control
The first lesson is something her mother has reminded her of for years: “You cannot serve two masters.”
At some point, each person must decide who will truly be Lord of their life. It is difficult to fully trust God while also trying to remain in control of every outcome.
Keep Your Eyes on Jesus
The second lesson comes from Peter walking on the water. As long as Peter kept his eyes on Jesus, he was able to do what seemed impossible. But when he shifted his focus to the wind and the waves, fear and doubt took over, and he began to sink.
Tabita believes many people experience the same thing. When the focus shifts to circumstances, fears, or the opinions of others, faith begins to waver. But when eyes remain fixed on Christ, there is strength and peace to keep moving forward.
How Faith Becomes Visible in Leadership and Service
Faith becomes visible in the way people live, lead, serve, and love others. It is not only about the words spoken, but also about the peace, joy, and confidence that come from walking closely with Christ.
For leaders, this kind of faith can influence how they treat people, make decisions, handle uncertainty, and steward responsibility. For organizations, it can reinforce the importance of developing people with care, purpose, and excellence.
That connection between faith, leadership, and people development is central to the mission of Empowered Professionals.
Conclusion: Faith, Excellence, and Surrender
Tabita See’s story is a reminder that living your faith is not about having every answer. It is about trusting God with every step, working with excellence, and surrendering the results to Him.
Through Empowered Professionals, she continues to combine her background in education, leadership, science, and professional development with a Christ-centered approach to serving organizations and strengthening teams.
Her encouragement is simple and powerful: decide who is truly in control, keep your eyes on Jesus, and trust Him with every detail.
