- 54 minutes 43 secondsStrong Enough to be Fragile
There are some moments in life that stop you in your tracks and make you confront what it means to be held together by God’s grace. This week, This week, I’m opening up about the accident that left me in a neck brace, the reality of living in between miracles, and what it looks like to trust God when life suddenly feels fragile. We’re talking about vulnerability, strength, being cared for when you’re used to caring for everyone else, and the hard truth that some of us don’t know how much we matter until life forces us to slow down. If you’ve ever found yourself trying to push through pain, avoid your emotions, or figure out how to trust God in an uncertain season, this conversation is for you.

So much of what you need can be found within, but ambition has to find you working. Just ask Emma Grede, one of today's most influential and highly accomplished self-made women.

In this deeply personal and compelling conversation, Sarah Jakes Roberts sits down with Academy Award–winning actress Lupita Nyong'o to shed light on a reality that far too many women endure in silence—living with uterine fibroids.

After facing this diagnosis herself, Lupita became a catalyst for advocacy, launching the Make Fibroids Count campaign to advance awareness and support research into less invasive treatment options. This episode underscores the critical truth that women deserve access to comprehensive medical resources, informed care, and a future in which our health is addressed with the urgency and seriousness it deserves.

Never trusting her voice could add value, host Sarah Jakes Roberts dedicates this solo episode to women who made history by daring to use theirs.

To all the quiet ones holding back, imagine your voice going rogue: what would it say, who would it move, and how would it impact the world?
