Woman Evolve with Sarah Jakes Roberts

Pastor Manouchka Charles joins SJR for a conversation that feels like truth wrapped in grace. From a Haitian church in Brooklyn to finding purpose in Miami, she shares how faith carried her through a near-death accident, heartbreak, and healing. The two get real about unity in the Church, leading with empathy, and navigating singleness without losing hope. Share this one with a sister who’s healing, growing, or holding on by faith. We’re all evolving together.

Today Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts shares a moment from Conference with Bible teacher Jennifer Lucy Tyler. If you’ve been wanting Scripture to feel clear, alive, and practical, this will meet you right where you are. Jennifer unpacks a simple toolbox to read the Word with confidence: pray first, observe what it says, interpret what it means, and apply it to real life. She uses familiar verses like Philippians 4:13 and Jeremiah 29:11 to show why context matters and how God’s character anchors us in every season. Jennifer also shares from her new book, When Dreams Fall Apart: How Unanswered Prayers Deepen Your Intimacy with God, speaking to the messy middle between what we pray and what God performs. It is a timely companion if you are trusting God in a hard season and want language for hope and perseverance. Want more from the Woman Evolve 2025 Conference?

Sis what is the tea?! SJR is minding ya’ll business this week! Sometimes we get so used to surviving that we forget how to just be. In this solo episode, Sarah slows us down long enough to check in on our hunger, our wholeness, and the one thing that really matters. She’s talking about prioritizing what God is actually asking for, not what everybody else expects from us. If you’ve been carrying too much, running on autopilot, or trying to make peace with a season that feels uncertain, this one’s for you. It’s real, it’s reflective, and it’s a reminder that what God placed in you deserves your focus. It’s that serious. Call in and let Sarah mind your business at 214-790-7871

Far too long, we’ve been conditioned to believe that nobody cares. But sis, the truth is, how you feel matters. And today’s guest, Brittainy Noel, a therapist, speaker, and founder of The Daily Fix, as well as the visionary behind the Heart Talks Tour—came through to remind you to stop living in your head and start leading with your heart! In this heartfelt convo with SJR, they explored femininity, how to flow from what no longer serves you, the power of reframing your hope, gender norms, dating fatigue, and a whole lot more! So what if you’re not everyone’s cup of tea? The consequence of being your full self is freedom. So girl, get up! Get out of survival mode and go live!

We were wondering where the real worshipers were at? So, the legendary, award-winning singer, songwriter, and Pastor Martha Munizzi popped out with SJR to remind us! Before setting the record straight on that whole Gospel vs. CCM debate, she tells the story of how her sound was rooted in gospel traditions and, chile…one thing’s for sure: Martha Munizzi gon’ always be invited to the cookout! Wait until you hear these two discuss what it’s like for women operating in male-dominated spaces, balancing family and ministry, plus the freedom we’re all called to walk in, sis.

The math is mathin’, and this convo comes off the heels of a platinum milestone — the 60th anniversary of First Lady Serita Jakes’ 10th birthday! But chile, could it be true that she feels more valuable now than ever before? After linking up with SJR, First Lady Serita opens up about life after Bishop Jakes’ health scare, her urgency to replenish the earth, and the wisdom that comes from living with intention. Beyond the First Lady title, this episode gets into who Mrs. Serita is, taking us through church leadership transitions, her evolution as a woman, plus intergenerational influence!

Some days you’ve got to hold your joy close, pray over it, and put a lid on it before the internet gets a vote. Today we are talking like girlfriends at the kitchen table about giving yourself permission to be human while God makes you whole. We’re choosing God over small, trading people-pleasing for purpose, and letting the Holy Spirit stretch us from tight places into broad spaces. It’s not a recap, it’s real talk.  Pull up and let’s: Protect joy before we post it Do enough to hear God again Turn the other cheek without turning off our calling Ask the Holy Spirit for bold, humble courage If your heart’s been tender, your faith feels wobbly, or you’ve been hiding the best parts of you, this one’s a gentle nudge to show up again. Press play, breathe, and let’s seal that joy together.

Suffer your way to success, now who said THAT?! In this raw and uncut conversation, SJR sits down with entrepreneur and advocate Janice Omadeke to expose the toxic “Superwoman” myth. You know, the lie that we have to bleed, break, and abandon ourselves just to be loved, seen, or deemed faithful. Chhiiillleee, take that "S" off your chest and hang that cape up! Please believe...you don’t have to break yourself to build a beautiful life, sis. God’s grace is big enough to uphold your dreams and your boundaries. Now, press PLAY to discern when hard work becomes harmful.

Let’s be real. This one is for the woman juggling healing, hustle, motherhood, and a whole lot of prayers in between. Sarah Jakes Roberts sits down with Dr. Jasmine Williams for a conversation that’s as transparent as it is transformative. From navigating a messy divorce and battling addiction to building a thriving business and becoming the first millionaire in her family, Dr. Jasmine doesn’t hold back. They talk co-parenting when the peace feels impossible, building with what you’ve got (even if it’s just an iPhone and a robe), and choosing to believe in what could be, even when life feels like it’s falling apart. Whether you’re in a dark season or walking out your healing one baby step at a time, this episode is a reminder that God's plan still stands. The audacity to grow, dream, and be better than what tried to break you? It’s already in you. Tap in and take your permission slip.

Let’s clear this up real quick: being a leader isn’t always about having a mic or a massive following. It’s about carrying vision. Heavy on the carrying. In this special session from The Called Conference 2025, Sarah Jakes Roberts opens up about her own leadership journey and what it looks like to lead while feeling reluctant, unsure, or unqualified. She breaks down the difference between being a visionary and being a leader, what to do when the vision feels blurry, and how to shift from striving to surrender. From team building and value alignment to navigating change and knowing when to come off autopilot, SJR reminds us that real leadership starts with sensitivity, not status. If you’ve been tying your identity to your outcomes or wondering if you’re built for what God showed you, this is your invitation to move with reverence, release the pressure, and lead like the earth is waiting on what you’re carrying because it is.
