Woman Evolve with Sarah Jakes Roberts

News of actor Jussie Smollett’s hate-filled attack was a major story today. SJR took time at the beginning of the episode to say a thoughtful prayer for him and everyone impacted by this incident and similar incidents. The Delegation then went from righteousness to ratchet thanks to SJR’s first rescue attempt, one that even she couldn’t find a good defense for. After a few more rescues, there were lots of feel good stories in the Hail Mary section. Advice topics — celibacy after already having sex marriage, reconciling with not receiving what you give, discerning between a seasonal word or forever word from God. This week’s snack stemmed from a conversation between SJR and her hubby PT. W.E. Read: "Beyond the Pill" by Dr. Jolene Brighton Show Description: Jamie Washington

It’s rare but it happens, the Delegates rescued everyone this week, including a Delegate. SJR admitted that there could have been another rescue but sis refused to have her MYBM card revoked so it remained a mystery...kinda sorta. Hail Mary’s and Joseph’s included a life saving nurse, a heroic dad and a congregation helping during the government shutdown. Honorable mention is Rihanna’s blueprint to building her legacy — Alexa play Whitney Houston’s “I’m Every Woman” because sis is securing all the bags while fans wait on her next album. SJR’s advice questions were really good this week — what to focus on when becoming a public speaker and remembering to ALWAYS invite God’s presence into your “next.” The snack was...chile, you already KNOW it was goodT!!!

Our fearless WE leader was so vulnerable this week that sis tried to hand out rescues for everybody like she was Oprah...including making the executive decision to rescue herself. SJR explained how her becoming a rescue may have disappointed the Delegation and she apologized. She challenged us to take the time to process situations by separating feelings from the truth, then hearing from God about His thoughts of it all. Unanimously, WE canceled haters/enemies in 2019...the motto: ”you’re either for me or for my prayer list”. The advice questions were about the communication needed between partners regarding sex, how a difference of religion can be problematic in a relationship and how we can (and sometimes must) love family from a distance. SJR’s snack was so timely, per usual. Theme Song and Engineered by: Dx Show Description: Jamie Washington

Siiiiiis! It’s our anniversary, we're 1 year into this thing and season 3 of the podcast has arrived! It wouldn’t be right if we didn’t start like we finished, by having REAL conversations. This week's rescue covered Survivng R. Kelly and was so long that there was no room to help anyone else get on the boat (although, TSA did sneak in. We had a LOT of sex talk so parental advisory is advised. We also dove into the seriousness of seeking help from mental health professionals and the importance of remembering that we’re not alone when faced with mental adversity. And, of course, SJR’s snack challenges us to get ourselves together! Engineered and Theme Song by: Dx Show Description: Jamie Washington

SJR gears up for the premiere of Season 3's podcast by helping us find our center. Join us for a quick snack and learn how she's maintaining her peace all 2019. Engineered and Theme Song by: Dx

It’s never ‘goodbye’, always ‘see you later’. Season 2’s finale started (a few weeks) late BUT sis, we made it!! So much grace was in the midst, we even had an overflow for some honorable mentions to rescue (or not). SJR got her Iyanla on by trying to find a solution for a mother-in-law that has no clear boundaries within her married son’s home...as usual, the Delegation preferred a more petty solution!! The finale ended with a challenge to, “breathe in your moments” - process 2018’s lessons and achievements before becoming overwhelmed with 2019’s goals and responsibilities.

This week’s episode just might be the game changer of season 2! The topic of forgiveness seemed to be a theme this week, including parental forgiveness which really hit home with many of the delegates. SJR offered perspective on the topic regarding forgiving too quickly without processing your pain — “just because you know where you want to land does not mean you have to force yourself to be there” (issa word!). SJR’s snack was a whole meal for those that are in the gap between persecution and warfare. Keep fighting the good fight and pushing through to the other side of your breakthrough sis!

SJR surprised the delegation with her HIGH key funny sister Cora Jakes Coleman!!! It’s voting season and the delegation is ready to cast their 2044 Presidential ballot for Cora & Kenzie...although SJR may need to be their Press Secretary for obvious reasons. SJR had some valid points during her rescue attempts but the delegation seemed to be riding with Cora this week. The duo discussed alternative disciplinary approaches in parenting, prayed for the edges of women of all hues and Cora spoke a whole word during the snack.

Because this is a grace-filled, judgment-free zone, we’re going to silently rescue SJR for being a day late. Our fearless leader struggled with trying to get her empathy on for this week's rescues, but we pulled together and broke out the floaties for a couple of people. She did take a moment to educate us on the three levels of raggedy - it's revolutionary. Also, SJR may or may not have told married ladies to never forget the power of circles...or triangles...Prepare for some epic realness, transparency, and authenticity on this week's snack.

We never imagined the day would come when we would have to rescue Chickfila? Well -they TRIED it in a major way. A Florida teacher is out here keeping it a little too real for the school she's in and did you know you could steal “free breakfast”?! The strength of the W.E. sisterhood is tested.....over how to cook scrambled eggs - to use or to not use Lawry’s seasoning salt is apparently a deal breaker. What are you doing as a form of self-care? SJR is likely hiding in her bathroom and trying on wigs! Plus, we’ve been challenged to receive strength in areas we already feel strong.

Apparently, pop culture had a secret meeting and they took an end of summer vacation because SJR couldn’t find any good rescues for this week!! The delegation offered to rescue The Cosby Show but everyone wasn’t willing to gas up the private jet. Have you ever noticed how the music you listen to will become the soundtrack to a period of your life? Well, SJR discusses how her personal growth has also influenced her playlist.

Would you be surprised if we rescued Kenzie again? No?! Good, because it happened! Is it time for you to activate your inner “Vontae Davis”? Would you let your child’s school paddle them as a disciplinary method? Chile, the Delegation’s opinions to these topics varied but we managed find some boats and life jackets! SJR’s snack was so good (“Play to Win” instead of “Trying to not lose”), so tune in to The Potter’s House at One LA’s podcast (9/21) for the full word! W.E.

Where is your “Hideout Ministry”?! This week, ours was SJR’s closet! Chile, we saved Nicki and Cardi but we put them on separate boats. Serena was a Rescue Eve candidate and a possible Hail Mary….we couldn’t choose. We also helped some sisters sort through their relationship issues. Plus - SJR challenges us to not make decisions based on our initial emotions. Engineered and Theme Song by Dx

We’re baaaccckkk!!!! Last week was minor set back for a MAJOR comeback! SJR (aka Lil Demon Bully) and the Delegation discussed their WE conference highlights, rescued Prayvo/Bishop Jakes and got all in SJR’s business!

SJR updates us on why she's late posting. Save your judgment - she's actually modeling what she challenges us to do. Engineered and Theme Song by Dx
