In this episode, host Christine Caine sits down with powerhouse pastor and author Sarah Jakes Roberts for a deeply personal and rich conversation on leadership, identity, and navigating a calling you never saw coming. Sarah opens up about her health journey, her succession into ministry, and how she’s learning to say “yes” with courage even when confidence is lacking. This is a conversation every woman in transition, leadership, or legacy needs to hear.
