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.

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.
