Sarah Jakes Roberts was recently named the successor to one of the most influential churches in the country – stepping into the role held by her father, Bishop T.D. Jakes. But the path wasn’t simple. It was marked with detours and storms she had to survive to get here.
On this episode of the My Legacy podcast, Sarah sits down with her mother, Serita Jakes, and co-hosts Martin Luther King III, Arndrea Waters King, Marc Kielburger, and Craig Kielburger, for a deeply personal conversation about overcoming life’s biggest challenges and the women who shape our lives.
From teenage motherhood and depression, to leading a movement for millions of women, Sarah shares what it means to walk boldly into a calling that once terrified her.
Unforgettable lessons from this conversation include:
If you’re navigating change, carrying the weight of your past, or searching for the strength to rise again, this conversation will meet you where you are – and stay with you long after it ends.
