Explore every episode of the podcast Woman Evolve with Sarah Jakes Roberts

Grammy-winning gospel artist, radio host, and author Erica Campbell said what W.E. already knew: “SJR ain’t no regular girl.” Period! And after bigging up her leadership transition, the two unpack what truly happens when culture sees our faith on display. You see, today’s ministries are calling back the folks who thought they had to be perfect to seek God—and W.E. love to see it! In this episode, Erica explores the duality of her calling, shares insights on family life, and even pulls out her “church mother start kit”!

They say don’t judge a book by its cover, and if you’ve ever heard Monique Rodriguez’s story, you know there’s so much more than meets the eye. While most know her as the powerhouse CEO behind Mielle Organics, today she’s pulling back the curtain and grabbing the mic to share something even deeper: her brand-new book, The Glory In Your Story. Sis is telling SJR what it really takes to build a business and be mom beyond the ‘Gram. We’re talking discernment, freedom, and how to see those who have trespassed against us as children of God — say what now? Chile, W.E. said what W.E. said. Tune in!

In this conversation with SJR, powerhouse attorney, author, and TV judge Faith Jenkins reminds us that life doesn’t move on our schedule. It moves in divine timing. And trust, she didn’t just come with hot takes, sis came with receipts, exhibits A through Z, and a closing argument that’ll have you rethinking everything.

If you’ve been grieving the life you thought you’d have by now, hit play. There's purpose in your present, and this episode just might be the shift you needed to see it.

When life looks too messy for miracles, that’s usually when possibility pulls up! This week, SJR and trauma therapist Kobe Campbell invite us into a concentrated exploration of the good—even if life is doing the absolute most. We’re talking the kind of wellness work that doesn’t skip the hard stuff, but meets it with the permission to play, the courage to be curious, and the boldness to betray your feelings. ‘Cause friend, you can't keep shrinking when life gets loud. Kobe shares how a crisis moment wasn’t her dead end, but a doorway to freedom in God. And for those of you who shut down when life gets tough, she’s giving the play-by-play on how to plug back into your power source!

Let’s talk about sex, baby! Skrrt! We know, some of y’all already clutching your pearls like, “Out loud?” Yep. Out loud and in the light. It's time to pull up in your big girl pants because SJR linked up with Brittany Broaddus-Smith to talk sex, faith, healing, and all the stuff purity culture told us to keep hush-hush. They’re flipping the script on shame and breaking down what it really means to know your body, and own it. What if you don’t want it at all? What if you want it too much? What if God’s not mad...just waiting on you to stop hiding?

From figuring out what feels good to healing from what never should’ve happened, this convo is full of truth, wisdom, and zero shame. If all you ever heard was “don’t do it,” but never got the why, this is your reroute. Press play, sis. It’s time.

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.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re living in the in-between, trying to lead with purpose while questioning your pace, this conversation is for you. Sarah Jakes Roberts sits down with global leader and powerhouse Jo Saxton to unpack what freedom really means when life feels uncertain, leadership gets heavy, and identity feels up for grabs. From childhood wounds to uncharted seasons, from calling to capacity, these two women keep it real about how faith, rest, and community are keys to staying grounded and free. Jo shares her personal story of shedding old beliefs and letting God rewrite her narrative, piece by piece, mirror by mirror. Together, they talk about prophetic leadership, discernment, and how even your “I don’t know” can be holy. It’s not too late, sis. Your freedom is still available. And this episode? Whew. It’ll meet you right where you are.

Listennnn… if you’ve ever been in a season where you’re trying to hold on to you, keep your purpose alive, and not let motherhood, ministry, or momentum swallow you whole, this one’s for you. Pastor Sarah links up with Jennifer Lucy Tyler, and baybeee, they went all the way in. We’re talking about the kind of faith that doesn’t just sound good but actually works. The kind that grounds you. Grows you. Guides you. They unpack how studying the Bible isn’t just a spiritual flex, it’s survival. And if you’ve been craving something deeper than IG quotes and devotionals that don’t quite hit the spot, this is your sign. God’s Word is still speaking, sis, and it’s shining light right where you need it most.

OAN—don’t forget to mark your calendar. Jennifer’s new book When Dreams Fall Apart releases October 7th, and it’s one you’ll want on your shelf. It’s a raw and reflective guide for anyone learning to trust God again after the unexpected. If you’ve ever wrestled with grief, disappointment, or starting over, this book will meet you right there. Pre-orders are open now on all platforms where books are sold—go ahead and grab your copy early sis! 

Some conversations feel like a hug you didn’t know you needed. This is one of them. SJR and Lisa Harper pull up to talk about the kind of grace that finds you in the middle of your mess, the love of God that never walks away, and what it means to grow through criticism without losing your softness. They unpack ministry wounds, performance-based faith, recovering from religious shame, and how to hold your calling without breaking your heart. This episode is a full-circle moment for the girls who’ve wrestled with not being “enough” for the Church but know they’re still called. If you’ve ever felt like you're building something while battling what’s behind you, go ahead and lean into this conversation.
