This one's for the girls who are evolving but still got questions. Y'all slid into the inbox, called, and left voicemails. And sis, we thank you for trusting us with your hearts. Those questions landed on SJR's desk, and now she's delivering rogue advice: the kind that breaks the mold in ways you didn't see coming. Expect a heart check with a side of chin check, covering everything from losing touch with God and navigating sexual identity to rediscovering true fulfillment. Yeah, this episode does not play! #MindYourBusinessEdition
Bringing our devotional series to a close, SJR grounds us in what it really takes to go rogue in an unfree world. This episode challenges listeners to stop taking messages at face value and start interrogating them with the Truth. You'll be invited to ask better questions, spot when the truth is being distorted, and see why resistance is part of the process, sis. SJR also drops her go-to scriptures that keep her anchored, proving why presence with God and in your body matters. But chile, John 17 sent us!

In the second installment of our devotional series, SJR continues the conversation on what it means to go rogue. And at the end of the day, it's conviction over consensus, sis. Romans 12 sets the tone, reminding us that real change doesn't happen overnight. So if evolving feels like a lot, remember that Jesus clocked every flaw and still chose you. Matthew 5 is assigned as homework because living set apart is not for the faint of heart, especially when them old ways try to spin the block. Don't try to dip out early now! The journaling prompts at the end of this episode will help you name what obedience really costs, where resistance shows up, and what you need to break away from.
Listennnn… welcome to 2026, sis. We are starting this year a little different, on purpose. No performing, no pretending, no "I'm fine" faith. Just real. In this episode, Sarah opens up about what it actually means to go rogue. Not rebellion for attention, but breaking up with the patterns, the fears, and the "truths" you picked up in the air that are keeping you stuck.
We're talking identity, confidence, and the sneaky way old labels try to follow you into a new season. If you've ever been quicker to believe the negative than receive the good, if one comment can disconnect you from feeling loved by God, or if you can tell your heart has gotten a little guarded… pull up. We're getting in Ezekiel 36:26 and asking God for the kind of renewal that doesn't just sound good, but changes you from the inside out.
By the end, you'll be ready to write your own Go Rogue statement, challenge what fear has been "authorized" to say over you, and start breathing fresh again.
In true Woman Evolve fashion, Sarah brings scripture, life, laughter, and love into a reminder we all need: before you get the next command, God wants you in His presence. Not rushed. Not perfect. Not pretending. Just present. This episode is for every woman navigating transition, healing from disappointment, or learning to trust God in the in-between. Tap in and let your heart catch the breath your mind has been begging for.
Sis, what happens when God calls you to do the very thing you said you'd never do? In this heartfelt conversation, Sarah Jakes Roberts and Dr. Anita Phillips get transparent about friendship, obedience, and the cost of saying yes when it changes everything. From unexpected callings to public pressure, they unpack what it means to follow God into unfamiliar territory, redefine identity after loss, and keep showing up when you feel fragile.
It's funny, honest, and deeply spiritual—the kind of conversation that reminds you that obedience isn't about being perfect; it's about being dependent. So if you've been wrestling with God's instructions or trying to rebuild after a "yes" that shook your whole world, this one's for you.
When the pressure is on, do you shut down or shine up? In this powerful convo, Sarah Jakes Roberts sits with Dr. Sarah Elizabeth Lewis and Dr. Anita Phillips to talk creativity, the gift of failure, and how to separate your work from your worth. They unpack why dreaming can feel risky right now, how to handle pressure without losing your identity, and what it means to build on what broke. From "turning heat into light" to seeing art as a path toward justice, this episode will meet you where it hurts and remind you there is purpose in your process. If you've been grieving a job loss, navigating a creative dry spell, or questioning your next move, press play and get language, wisdom, and courage for the season you're in. Keywords: Sarah Jakes Roberts, Dr. Sarah Elizabeth Lewis, The Rise, Dr. Anita Phillips, creativity, failure, resilience, faith, mental health, Black women, vision and justice.
This one is for the woman who's ready to tell the truth and still choose hope. Sarah Jakes Roberts sits down with Lysa TerKeurst to unpack the difference between privacy and secrecy, how to hold both therapy and theology, and why Jesus invites us to feel our feelings and still surrender. They get real about the "fact and impact" of trauma, forgiveness as God's prescription, boundaries that protect your healing, and what it takes to open your heart again after the death of a marriage. They even walk through Mark 14, reframe "God hates divorce," and talk self-forgiveness, codependency, and finding someone who has "done the work."
Lysa also shares about her new book, Surviving an unwanted divorce, releasing November 11.

Sis… sometimes the only way through the chaos is on your knees. We're throwing it back to Sunday's message, but Pastor Sarah reminds us that worship is a strategy, not just something to sing and do on Sunday. When life feels heavy, when the promise looks far and the process is processing, God meets us right in the middle. In "Get Out of Your Way." Pastor Sarah breaks down how surrender unlocks strategy, how process builds power, and how even in the crushing, there's oil being produced. So if you've been wondering how to make it through what you're facing, start here. Because in this season, the worshippers win. Tap in, turn it up, and let this word remind you: you're not buried, you're being planted.
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.
