I had a child at 14. I used to feel so ashamed. Now, when people ask my son’s age, and then my age. They do them math, and before they finish computing the math I do it for them. No one and I mean no one can shame me for something that I’ve forgiven myself for and taken full accountability and responsibility. I finished high school, got my Bachelor’, Masters and now I’m a solo international traveler and part time bartender!!! I’m healthy, happy, and grateful.
🎉❤ congratulations and I pray that our Lord Jesus Christ continue to cover you watch over you! This is the best decision you will ever make. Believe me, I know.
When I cried out to God about this man, having affair after affair, the words came as clear and audibly, " remember you chose him without consulting Me", and god was quiet after that.
I don’t care what NOBODY says, in my mind, Sarah is my best friend 😂!!! I just love her spirit and how God is a beckon of light that shines through her. How she is authentic while being an introvert. She has captured what it is to GO THROUGH!!! Of all the things that were meant to minimize her gift, God made her great and her gift is continuing to make room for her. Her life’s story reminds me so much of Joseph. And how he was still in the field when the other brothers were presented. Not knowing, it was JOSEPH all along that God chose.
I start crying when she said’ her husband looked her in her eyes & said I need you & she answered back’ I need you too!! 🙌🏽🔥🙏🏽🫶🏽 God I’m patiently waiting for my second husband. 🧎🏽♀️
I thought about this a few hours before starting this podcast. The vulnerability and accountability needed in a relationship with a REAL one is HUGE!!!
She’s so powerful. “The little girl in me is making decisions that the adult version of me is going to have to defend.” That’s when I knew that I had to change. ❤whew power
I'm getting addicted to Dear Future Wifey.. ever since i started watching, this is my now go to podcasts. It has changed my perception about love and relationships. We are in this together.
@@tiffanyRN504 Thank you so much. Indeed, my intention was to start from the very first video and follow them in order. .. but i got tempted along the way and now i watch them at random. I love them to bits.
I just walked away from what I now can call a situationship that lasted 8 months and we were talking marriage…. BUT… the spirit and his actions was showing me that there was deception and lies. I went to his job and another woman was waiting for him too. I acted a plum fool, in my 40s. After the dust of that night, very recent, settled, I said to myself that was the little girl in me feeling rejected and unloved. At that moment I decided that my worth, dignity and peace was more valuable then that type of drama. For those of you who are attempting to hold on to something that is dragging you. It’s time to walk away. What God has for you is more abundant than what YOU are trying to develop. God is not the author of confusion. If it’s costing you your peace, it’s too expensive ❤ Thank you Sarah for you vulnerability and truth.
So good!! IT'S more important to be grounded in God for the other person, so you can be their support in the times of need. Thank you fi your comment. 🎉
What I’ve noticed about Pastor Sarah is that she can go to an interview and at some point, while she is talking, the Holy Spirit will start to speak through her and say things that meet that person exactly where they are. And every time it happens, it is just evidence of her gift and calling. I could tell when she talked about not wanting to be “damaged over and over again” her words pierced Latteras’s heart. There is no such thing as surface level conversation with her ❤
When she said she was content with her secret relationship with the Lord and PT said your secret may bless someone else I had to pause the video as I began to weep. I remember someone's "secret" relationship with the Lord not only bless me but also transform my life supernaturally! God knew what I needed being a secret myself 😭
Girrrrrl, I discovered after having a child at 30, he'll be 20, that age doesn't matter. I was told I waited too long. I believe ppl can't wait to give their opinions on stuff.
Same thing here. Biggest lesson I learned. You have to include God in your decision making; you can’t make your choice, tell God, “here bless it”, and expect that he will 100% Bless it! Glory to God.
"MY Insecurities built that marriage, MY Shame built that marriage, MY Trauma chose that spouse! #PREACH!!!!!!!!!! I didn't even consult God about it". That was a WHOLE word!!!!!!
I listened to this interview on Saturday (4/27/24) through Spotify. I came on here to mark my shift in perspective caused by this interview. I have always moved through relationships by telling myself that I do not need a man, I want one. SJR has helped me understand through her story that my mentality does cultivate a covenant relationship. I am admitting today that I need my purpose partner. I need the man that God has for me in my life. By myself, I already serve the Kingdom. But with my purpose partner, we will soar higher together. I will patiently until he finds me because I believe that God is in control of our meeting. I will commit to doing what I can learn and grow so that I become the woman that he has been praying about.
“I think I need you…..my destiny is connected to your breath”………this was definitely orchestrated by God❤…. As tough as I am, I need this right here 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I'm so impressed by Sarah's vulnerability, her authenticity, her light, her humility and the love of God that she exudes!!! God bless you, woman of God!!!
I stayed in a "domestic violence" environment for 25 years for the sake of the children, when I nearly was killed and filed for divorce. The church was judging instead of supporting. Its true, its this dry season that make a person seek God for who God is.
@@nishashawn2021I've never been married however I'm in a situation, I feel like I deserve a better job and yet I'm still here. What stops us from moving on?
I concur...did 27 years in DV marriage physical, emotional, and financial. Because of advice in the church I was confused about divorce and stayed longer than I had to. According to God's word I had God's approval to leave the marriage (adultery) but I kept focusing on having more faith and learning how to forgive/forget so that I would have a positive outcome/testimony. Issue is I was the only one praying, fasting having faith, and making changes when he was still cutting up (too many things to name)! I'm glad that I left and have been blessed immensely every since.
I cried, I laughed, and I praised God for confirmation. I have been struggling with self-worth after becoming a teen mom, and this has been the year where I speak and claim that I am worthy of new beginnings. Thank you for your pour, Sarah Jakes Robert. No more shackles, no more shame. Another amazing episode. Thank you for taking us along for the journey
"I don't feel entitled to big results... I just feel entitled to my obedience." WHEW 😭😭🙌🏾🙌🏾 That's the line for me!! I love SJR, even though much of her story isn't my own, but THIS. RIGHT. HERE?!?!! That's the piece!!!
What I admired most about her is that she set a good example for most Christians by being transparent. She didn’t act like she was perfect and flawless all her life. ❤❤❤❤
“I dont believe I was called to feel this broken, I dont believe I was called to be this angry” were also the words of my revelation and I appreciate knowing I was never alone in that. Thank you❤
I am broken right now…I married a Godly man…we abstained after having sex while dating but got “it” together…only to be in a sexless marriage of 6 years. My anger and frustration about it started being more vocal after 3 years once he revealed a lie (that’s his to tell). It hurt me and yet I remained hoping that he would seek help and face or acknowledge the bondage of the lie and realize it’s affect on me. After alienation by him, I did things that gave me small pleasures just to get peace, such as watching a favorite tv show or reading a book in my car and arrive home later just to avoid the tension in the house. I am at my breaking point. I just don’t believe this is GOD’s plan. I’m celebrating small victories with tears streaming down my face as I move forward clinging to GOD facing my “next” step in GOD. 🙌🏾 🙏🏾
Hi, Laterras, thanks for allowing us to be part of your journey. Your podcast has been an invaluable source of insight and inspiration for me. As you navigate your path of healing, know that your openness and vulnerability resonate deeply with your audience. Thank you for sharing your journey with us; it's truly appreciated. Here’s to you sharing purpose with your Future Wifey 🎉
Sarah took the time out to literally pray for me and my teenage daughter at a very difficult time in our lives.. I will never forget that!❤She’s the real deal. God has truly anointed her.Im forever grateful to God for using her as a vessel to help soo many women!
She just looked inside my heart when she shared that it is so much harder to love a real one vs. being in a relationship with a fraud. Teach, share, advocate, inspire, and motivate others and oneself to let go and let God is the core of who I am. ❤❤❤❤❤ This episode and so many others allows internal healing without uttering a whisper.
I was a Teenage mom 50 years ago! I am 64 and my son is 49. It was a lot different back then. Pregnant girls could not go to regular high school - you had to go to the "pregnant" girl school or home school while pregnant. I do not label it as "trauma" because my son is a blessing and I kept it moving with my Mother support. It is part of my life journey.
you are a brave woman. it takes courage to walk a path alone and still find the blessing in it and I agree that it was. I’m glad you see it that way, despite the obstacle of it all.
Beautiful spirit and amazing story of redemption and purpose. I'm almost 40 and after many failures, I'm "starting over" in my life. This inspires me and reminds me that God has me and I can still be used for His glory! 🙌🏾
OMG.....rage making you feel alive is the perfect discription for my 20 year old daughter right now. She is in a self sabotaging/destructive time in her life. She just posted about not regretting getting violent with people in situations when she's upset. Her bad temper has gotten her in a lot of trouble. Ive been praying and fasting and putting her in counseling for years. I will never give up on her but im exhausted. Please connect with me in prayer for her. She knows God and the word but has allowed the things of the world to control her.
I touch and agree with you in prayer 🙏🏾 I struggled with rage for years because it was the only outlet that I knew. Emotional intelligence, vulnerability/crying, and articulating my thoughts and emotions were skills that I acquired in my 30's. Once my mother spoke to me from a place of love and transparency, she created a space for my true feelings of fear, hurt, dissapointment, and shame to be released. I hope this helps ❤
I touch and agree with you in prayer for your daughter as well. I pray that she starts to live out the peace that Jesus died to give her and flush out her rage. I too was a rage-active teen/young adult due to past trauma and dysfunction that happened to me in my childhood. I felt that I didn't have a safe space to truly express myself so the fighting was the best way to get it out. I was a self saboteur adult because I felt some of the things I did made me not worthy to have anything. Although I don't know where your daughter's rage is coming from I pray that she truly believes “Greater is He that's in her, than her that's in the world”. I'm thankful to you for saying that even within you exhaustion you will never give up on her. I pray for your peace and your strength to continuously love her through it all. 🙏🏽
I pray the Lord Jesus will give you rest ma’am and heal your daughter of everything❤ in the meantime declare the word of God over her mind, body, soul and spirit used the book of Psalms as a start. The word of Gods encouraged us to pray the scriptures because it is active and alive so where our words can’t go the scriptures will cut through 🙏🏾May you have a testimony soon!
I love love Sarah. She is relatable and humble. She is like the bff you talk to daily. She doesn’t let the fact that dad is the Bishop of the world and her name change her and make her see unauthentic. I have all her other books and they were great and I will be purchasing Power Moves also! Because I have both the power and the moves!
This is a deep one. Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts has clearly dug some deep wells with the Lord. She dropped some heavy words. One to listen to again, for sure.
I understand that feeling of anything is better than this. People have no idea what you might be experiencing. Holding on to toxic relationships/marriages is soul crushing
This interview has changed my life, it’s not because I’ve never heard Sarah speak…… But it is because God showed me just how in my weaknesses my time of vulnerability, my time of Fear! His POWER MOVES ! I realized that in those times I fully submitted because of my inadequacies to him😭😭😭 His POWER MOVED! he let me know that it’s in my obedience that his POWER MOVES !!😭😭😭 I can’t stop crying. I am so full right now.! 😭😭😭 thank you so much for this interview to God be the glory!🙌🏽 I just ordered the book and I can’t wait to receive it. Thank you for just being you. ! Truly, the power of God has moved through this interview to bring light and revelation of his presence in my life!
That was such an amazing interview. God was sitting on that sofa speaking to me through you SJR. Tears flowing. Your words ignited a signal inside of me that I didn’t know existed. It’s like layers are being peeled off of my skin in this surrendering posture to help me breathe underneath the grave I put myself in. It’s like the beginning stages of a plant 🌱. It’s God’s Power that just moved through you to shift me into my new! Blessings to you and Thank you for sharing your story with me 🙏🏽. IT’S PERSONAL ❤
This moment…. “I think I need you” - this is everything!!!! Want and need are very powerful verbs! Love is a verb… connection! This podcast is a blessing!
Thank you Sarah and I am so grateful for your platform. I’m 60 years old and sitting at the feet of the younger generations learning so much that will allow my later years to see the restoration of God in my life. My children are writing stories right now that I don’t like but listening to you both today let’s me no that there is no failure in God and his glory will come to pass in their lives. Blessed be the Name of the Lord.
Ma'am, I am connected to this comment because you said your children are writing stories you don't like, but there's no failure in God. I feel the same with my son, but I believe God covers him through me and my mother and he'll come to Christ in God's time. Thank you for sharing.
I needed this message. As a woman who has been married for fifteen years, only together 3 1/2 years of the marriage and divorced for the past seven years, this message came to me right on time for me. I have not dated anyone for the past 22 years, and it has been really scary for me. I stepped out of my comfort zone, my independence, and gave this man a chance to get to know me. Now I'm leaning on God with this one.
This was an GOD LEAD INTERVIEW, the first personal interview I have ever watched about Sarah Jakes Roberts, and being a former single teen parent back in 1988 I connected and understood. Then as if the interview wasn't amazing enough I learned a little more about Laterrus Whitfield and his ministry outside of the Dear Future Wifey podcast. WOW continue to move HOLY SPIRIT I will be covering these ministries in prayer and you guys have not seen nothing yet ❤💪 🙏.
"I think I need you", "Your Destiny is connected to your breathe", What powerful words that leave you speechless. We have to surrender to this reality! OMG! May God bless their Union. 10 years is a Blessings. This podcast has blessed me. And teaches me that, It is OK to be vulnerable with my husband when we meet. I'm glad I took the time to listen. Women Evolve 23 was Epic! (On Time God). Thank you for sharing with the world. Blessing Laterras
Sarah!!!!!!! Laterras!!!Jesus!!! This interview right here ….Chef’s Kiss. The amount of laughter and tears this conversation brought out of me. I got a chance to attend the Woman Evolve Conference last year and my life has forever been changed because of what God deposited into me during that conference. Thank y’all for giving God your Yes❤
Praying for all the teen moms. Pregnant at 17 and 20 I watched my best friends go to prom with a baby on my hip. Id say that was the saddest day of my life. I always knew that it was my fault because I consistently made bad choices. I pray that any teen mom reading knows that this is only the beginning. Your latter shall be greater!
She was so graceful and loving in delivering the power needed by us listeners. I see her mother in her, but I also see her own woman that God has called her to be. Thank God for this podcast.❤❤❤
This video kept popping up every time I opened RUclips. Today, I asked myself why does this video keep showing up? God said watch it. I'm so glad I did. This was a conversation that I desperately needed to hear. Thank you both for this. God knew what He was doing.❤
I clicked the like button before I started watching the video because I already knew it was about to be an awesome episode. I so love Sarah Jakes Roberts 🙌🏿🙌🏿💖
For more than 5 years, I stayed in a relationship that God did not approve. I got beaten in all the ways that nobody should be beaten. Affairs from both sides, stopped going to church, emotionally battered and at a point, ruined. Man, even today i have to be daily in God's presence and remind myself that I am worthy of love and that God is my father. Then He sent my husband. The man who was specifically knows how to love me through my hurt and help me in my purpose. He pushes me to be my best self and most importantly, draw closer to God.
I felt very similar when I got pregnant in high school after my mother passed away from her fight with cancer. The Catholic school I went to made me feel dirty and a problem and shunned. It made me cut off my relationship with God. Took me many many years to go back and repair that..but still have issues mentally & emotionally with feeling judged by the church and others if they were to know my past mistakes and choices. Her story resonates with me so much…the strength it takes to push through those years of feeling used and judged and not good enough to where you question your worth, it’s a lot. Love Sarah!
She is such a breath of fresh air!!! I like love her preaching her podcast and I definitely pre ordered this book!! I cannot wait for it to be released!! She helps me get up and into work every morning❤
Wow this interview 👌🏾 To have a man in my life that truly gets me,love me, in my corner etc ... Him saying I need you and me knowing I need him is truly a powerful thing. 🤧 ❤
“The moment that you realize that the shame can move, that the anxiety can move, that power moves, then power can move through you, and you can make power moves” Mercy!👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
This is my girl!!!!!!!!! When I first Got saved 6 years ago the Lord lead me to her never heard of her. Now I understand why I struggled and dealt with shame of getting pregnant at 16. She took every word out my mouth. That I couldn’t articulate. Til this day I keep getting “you remind of Sarah Jakes” as I grow into my anointing. I know God used her story to show me the power I have and carry as well. etc…It’s me I’m that one girl she did it for! I love her story and this was such a great well questioned interview. I’m proud of both of y’all!
She walks as a Woman Evolved from 14 yr old teen mom, the evolving to a woman just wanting to share her story and help another girl think differently about herself, then evolving to a co-pastor with Pastor Toure, to evolving to a woman who empowers millions of other women to evolve, now one of the executive Pastor serving alomg side her huaband at TPH, her home church. .....God is amazingly....only God can do it if we just surrender to the process. God can really blow our minds and 10x what we thought our plan was supposed to be.
What’s waiting for you in the room is more important than who’s in the room 🙌🏾. Several years ago I started going to church by myself and it quickly involved to my date time with Jesus 💗
I remember that Bishop Jakes was not feeling well at a Sunday service. It got me worried, and I started to panic. If something happened to him, who would take over the church? Also, bring a word like he does. God answered my prayer, and the very next Sunday, Sarah preached. I've been resting since then.
Listen, this is why I love Pastor Sarah. The transparency! If we all could only be this transparent. I have had a moment where the person I love cheated on me, and I lost it. And that's all I'm going to say on that. We all can snap.
In LOVE with this WOMAN!! The first time I really heard her speak was the wig drop. That whole situation, message, the way she handled it, and I could just see the exacerbation on her at the wig malfunction, but it was the most amazing, powerful message I think I have ever seen. I said nobody but God did that because He needed to prove up His daughter and His people needed to see and experience that masterful moment. It could not have been more perfect. Sarah Jakes Roberts, may the love, Peace, and purpose of the Lord always rest upon you beloved. I love you sister. Bless up ❤
Sara preaching on God's confirmation when u meet your God sent partner u have to make it work, you have to surrender to God's plan. Your destiny is attached to that person God made for u ❤ Sis speaking to me and everything in my life 🙏🏾
Love love love SJR!!! That part about putting stuff together wrong.... so good. The Lord told me, "The only way to get my blessing after you've done something I didn't permit is to remove yourself from it!" This is an amazing podcast. So proud of you Bro. Laterras 🙏🏽✨️
An ICON. And a voice for this generation, for such a time as this. Thank you Pastor Sarah! You are POWERFUL. And Thank you Pastor Toure for loving her the way you do! 🌻🥹
This was such a blessing! Shout out to her family for covering her. Me and my family have followed Bishop Jakes since "Woman Thou Art Loosed" used to come to Jericho here in DC. We went to All of the things in Atlanta... My mom was a part of Aaron's Army.. We might as well have been Potters House members ... and we had NO CLUE Sarah had a baby! I remember the fairlytale wedding and that was it... Until I saw her and her current husband ministering. I LOVE what this awesome woman of God has done for the body of Christ and women in particular! ❤
This is soooo good. I was a teen mom and also divorced after 10 years of marriage. This blessed me. Grew up a preachers kid in a judgmental Christian world
When Sarah said “Anything is better than what I am in” was sooo personal for me!!! This episode was EVERYTHING!!! It was so personal to me and my situation! Whew! TYJ!
Woooowww.... "Her destiny is connected to Pastor Toure's breath. Powerful! Geesh, Sarah is putting language to what I'm missing and needing from a future spouse. I've been trying to figure it out. My ex wants us to get back together, but I'm not convinced that he's the one I need! Sarah gave me chills! I felt that in my core!
I'm thankful for Sarah's story. I carried so much shame, gulit and rejection for so many years! I thank God for her authenticity! God Bless you for doing ministry the way God assigned you to. 🙌
Wow she gave language to everything I have known to be my reality but articulated it in a way only SJR can articulate. Proud of you Sarah. I pray that the Power moves book will be available in China too, I will certainly be the first one to buy it.🌟🌟💕💕💞💞🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️🙌🙌
To: MY favorite Podcast Host, Latteras R. Whitfield, thank you so much for having MY Co-Pastor, Sarah Jakes Roberts on your show. What an amazing interview! Pastor Sarah traveling mercies to you on your book tour for "POWER MOVES". Best wishes!🎉❤🙏🏾💯
I just purchased my ticket to the power moves tour in LA. I can’t wait. I’m also writing how I’m going to be to my future hubby. This interview gave me so much hope to hear about how she needs PT. Thank you ❤❤❤
I literally cried through the entire interview! God is so undeniably amazing and gracious when He chooses the least likely, the underdog, the one who doesn't believe they are worthy, to touch, reach, and share the love of God to people just like them! I thank you for this interview with Pastor Sarah and how she is allowing God to use her story to heal women all around the world, and you are allowing God to use your story and life, to heal young Black men in foster care! No greater love than when a man lay down his life for a friend! Again, thank you! ❤🙏🏾❤
Always love SJR’s transparency! I’m about to cry now as you talk about the passing the mantle moment. That was a moment for the books. I felt that moment for every woman’s inner child!
I had a child at 14. I used to feel so ashamed. Now, when people ask my son’s age, and then my age. They do them math, and before they finish computing the math I do it for them. No one and I mean no one can shame me for something that I’ve forgiven myself for and taken full accountability and responsibility. I finished high school, got my Bachelor’, Masters and now I’m a solo international traveler and part time bartender!!! I’m healthy, happy, and grateful.
Proud of you!
Yeah. I was 17 and just say I STARTED EARLY to shut that portion of the conversation off.
Love that for you. PRAISE GOD 😁🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Talk yo ish sis! I was the exact same from my child to masters degree. It didn't stop my journey and he's a great part of it!
Even if the things were not accomplished God said his grace is still sufficient for you! 🙏🏽
Today is my 21st bday and I have decided to surrender my life Jesus Christ our Savior. This is my best birthday ever!!
🎉❤ congratulations and I pray that our Lord Jesus Christ continue to cover you watch over you! This is the best decision you will ever make. Believe me, I know.
Happy birthday and welcome to the family of God 🎉
🎉🎉🎉. May the Lord Jesus leads you to the church He wants you in and you grow closer to Jesus 🙏🏽♥️

Listen!!!!! Whew that hit HEAVY!
OUCH!!!

I don’t care what NOBODY says, in my mind, Sarah is my best friend 😂!!! I just love her spirit and how God is a beckon of light that shines through her. How she is authentic while being an introvert. She has captured what it is to GO THROUGH!!! Of all the things that were meant to minimize her gift, God made her great and her gift is continuing to make room for her. Her life’s story reminds me so much of Joseph. And how he was still in the field when the other brothers were presented. Not knowing, it was JOSEPH all along that God chose.
AND THATS ON PERIOD!!!!! lololol!!!!!
Right!
Same 😂😂😂
Hey Sis 👋🏾….🤭I feel the same. I love her ministry!

“It’s so much harder to be in a relationship with a real one than being with a fraud!” Sarah Jakes Robert
I felt that to the core🥹
This realization brings you to the core of who you truly are.❤
I thought about this a few hours before starting this podcast. The vulnerability and accountability needed in a relationship with a REAL one is HUGE!!!
The accountability factor stretches us. Not easy
@@ibiminaabiye257 The vulnerability is tough because I don't trust ppl.
She’s so powerful. “The little girl in me is making decisions that the adult version of me is going to have to defend.” That’s when I knew that I had to change. ❤whew power
That line went thru me! My goodness

So good!! IT'S more important to be grounded in God for the other person, so you can be their support in the times of need. Thank you fi your comment. 🎉
What I’ve noticed about Pastor Sarah is that she can go to an interview and at some point, while she is talking, the Holy Spirit will start to speak through her and say things that meet that person exactly where they are. And every time it happens, it is just evidence of her gift and calling. I could tell when she talked about not wanting to be “damaged over and over again” her words pierced Latteras’s heart.

Same thing here. Biggest lesson I learned. You have to include God in your decision making; you can’t make your choice, tell God, “here bless it”, and expect that he will 100% Bless it! Glory to God.
WOW!!!!!! “My destiny is connected to your breath, and I can’t act like you don’t matter to me……That I can live without you “
That was powerful
"MY Insecurities built that marriage, MY Shame built that marriage, MY Trauma chose that spouse! #PREACH!!!!!!!!!! I didn't even consult God about it". That was a WHOLE word!!!!!!
I listened to this interview on Saturday (4/27/24) through Spotify. I came on here to mark my shift in perspective caused by this interview. I have always moved through relationships by telling myself that I do not need a man, I want one. SJR has helped me understand through her story that my mentality does cultivate a covenant relationship. I am admitting today that I need my purpose partner. I need the man that God has for me in my life. By myself, I already serve the Kingdom. But with my purpose partner, we will soar higher together. I will patiently until he finds me because I believe that God is in control of our meeting. I will commit to doing what I can learn and grow so that I become the woman that he has been praying about.
“I think I need you…..my destiny is connected to your breath”………this was definitely orchestrated by God❤…. As tough as I am, I need this right here 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I am telling you!!!! I stopped tears from streaming down my face because it spoke to my bone marrow and hit me hard.
This is deep😮 Eye and Soul opening
Wheweeeeee!!! This one hit my core🙌🏾!
Phew. Fire. I would melt
I'm so impressed by Sarah's vulnerability, her authenticity, her light, her humility and the love of God that she exudes!!! God bless you, woman of God!!!
I stayed in a "domestic violence" environment for 25 years for the sake of the children, when I nearly was killed and filed for divorce. The church was judging instead of supporting. Its true, its this dry season that make a person seek God for who God is.
@pastydaniels I appreciate you sharing. Are you receiving emotional support or in therapy?
It wasn't FOR the kids that you stayed in a place of anguish...sometimes we simply don't know we deserve better...
@@nishashawn2021I've never been married however I'm in a situation, I feel like I deserve a better job and yet I'm still here. What stops us from moving on?
Amen Sister, Amen.
I concur...did 27 years in DV marriage physical, emotional, and financial. Because of advice in the church I was confused about divorce and stayed longer than I had to. According to God's word I had God's approval to leave the marriage (adultery) but I kept focusing on having more faith and learning how to forgive/forget so that I would have a positive outcome/testimony. Issue is I was the only one praying, fasting having faith, and making changes when he was still cutting up (too many things to name)! I'm glad that I left and have been blessed immensely every since.
One thing I love about the Jakes is no matter how big they are they are still reachable…I love you Sarah God bless you
I cried, I laughed, and I praised God for confirmation. I have been struggling with self-worth after becoming a teen mom, and this has been the year where I speak and claim that I am worthy of new beginnings. Thank you for your pour, Sarah Jakes Robert. No more shackles, no more shame. Another amazing episode. Thank you for taking us along for the journey
The “WIG” anointing! Women Intentional about God!!!🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
"I don't feel entitled to big results... I just feel entitled to my obedience." WHEW 😭😭🙌🏾🙌🏾 That's the line for me!! I love SJR, even though much of her story isn't my own, but THIS. RIGHT. HERE?!?!! That's the piece!!!
I was a Mother at 17. You do feel so unworthy. I love her transparency and healing.
I felt the same way. I was so shame and hurt.
What I admired most about her is that she set a good example for most Christians by being transparent. She didn’t act like she was perfect and flawless all her life. ❤❤❤❤
“I dont believe I was called to feel this broken, I dont believe I was called to be this angry” were also the words of my revelation and I appreciate knowing I was never alone in that. Thank you❤
I am broken right now…I married a Godly man…we abstained after having sex while dating but got “it” together…only to be in a sexless marriage of 6 years. My anger and frustration about it started being more vocal after 3 years once he revealed a lie (that’s his to tell). It hurt me and yet I remained hoping that he would seek help and face or acknowledge the bondage of the lie and realize it’s affect on me. After alienation by him, I did things that gave me small pleasures just to get peace, such as watching a favorite tv show or reading a book in my car and arrive home later just to avoid the tension in the house. I am at my breaking point. I just don’t believe this is GOD’s plan. I’m celebrating small victories with tears streaming down my face as I move forward clinging to GOD facing my “next” step in GOD. 🙌🏾 🙏🏾
Hi, Laterras, thanks for allowing us to be part of your journey. Your podcast has been an invaluable source of insight and inspiration for me. As you navigate your path of healing, know that your openness and vulnerability resonate deeply with your audience. Thank you for sharing your journey with us; it's truly appreciated. Here’s to you sharing purpose with your Future Wifey 🎉
I had my son at 12 and he is now 29 God did. GODS PLAN his strength Love grace and mercy brought us through
Sarah took the time out to literally pray for me and my teenage daughter at a very difficult time in our lives.. I will never forget that!❤She’s the real deal. God has truly anointed her.Im forever grateful to God for using her as a vessel to help soo many women!
She just looked inside my heart when she shared that it is so much harder to love a real one vs. being in a relationship with a fraud. Teach, share, advocate, inspire, and motivate others and oneself to let go and let God is the core of who I am. ❤❤❤❤❤ This episode and so many others allows internal healing without uttering a whisper.
I was a Teenage mom 50 years ago! I am 64 and my son is 49. It was a lot different back then. Pregnant girls could not go to regular high school - you had to go to the "pregnant" girl school or home school while pregnant. I do not label it as "trauma" because my son is a blessing and I kept it moving with my Mother support. It is part of my life journey.
you are a brave woman. it takes courage to walk a path alone and still find the blessing in it and I agree that it was. I’m glad you see it that way, despite the obstacle of it all.
Say it again . Sarah Jakes is my favourite too. God continue to bless her and her husband Pastor Robert
I was at Woman Evolve 2023 with my sista friend!!! Life changing experience!! It was the highlight of 2023!!
Beautiful spirit and amazing story of redemption and purpose. I'm almost 40 and after many failures, I'm "starting over" in my life. This inspires me and reminds me that God has me and I can still be used for His glory! 🙌🏾
Same here, almost 40, restarting, and now believing God Can still use me. Power moves
OMG.....rage making you feel alive is the perfect discription for my 20 year old daughter right now. She is in a self sabotaging/destructive time in her life. She just posted about not regretting getting violent with people in situations when she's upset. Her bad temper has gotten her in a lot of trouble. Ive been praying and fasting and putting her in counseling for years. I will never give up on her but im exhausted. Please connect with me in prayer for her. She knows God and the word but has allowed the things of the world to control her.
I touch and agree with you in prayer 🙏🏾
I struggled with rage for years because it was the only outlet that I knew. Emotional intelligence, vulnerability/crying, and articulating my thoughts and emotions were skills that I acquired in my 30's.
Once my mother spoke to me from a place of love and transparency, she created a space for my true feelings of fear, hurt, dissapointment, and shame to be released.
I hope this helps ❤
@tiffanyhunt9454 thank you
I touch and agree with you in prayer for your daughter as well. I pray that she starts to live out the peace that Jesus died to give her and flush out her rage.
I too was a rage-active teen/young adult due to past trauma and dysfunction that happened to me in my childhood. I felt that I didn't have a safe space to truly express myself so the fighting was the best way to get it out. I was a self saboteur adult because I felt some of the things I did made me not worthy to have anything. Although I don't know where your daughter's rage is coming from I pray that she truly believes “Greater is He that's in her, than her that's in the world”. I'm thankful to you for saying that even within you exhaustion you will never give up on her. I pray for your peace and your strength to continuously love her through it all. 🙏🏽
God will answer. Agreeing with you
I pray the Lord Jesus will give you rest ma’am and heal your daughter of everything❤ in the meantime declare the word of God over her mind, body, soul and spirit used the book of Psalms as a start. The word of Gods encouraged us to pray the scriptures because it is active and alive so where our words can’t go the scriptures will cut through 🙏🏾May you have a testimony soon!
I love love Sarah. She is relatable and humble. She is like the
bff you talk to daily. She doesn’t let the fact that dad is the Bishop of the world and her name change her and make her see unauthentic. I have all her other books and they were great and I will be purchasing Power Moves also! Because I have both the power and the moves!
That is so true the church idolizes marriage - doesnt matter if its good or not
💯 facts
🥶
This is a deep one. Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts has clearly dug some deep wells with the Lord. She dropped some heavy words. One to listen to again, for sure.
Shes so down to earth and keeps it real as a Preacher’s kid. We PKs are a different breed! 🤦🏽♂️🫶🏽
I have seen plenty of Sarah Jakes Roberts interviews. But baaaaaabyyyy if this one ain’t top three.
Her candor is necessary.
Facts, I went alone and saw my cousin from Oklahoma sitting in the row behind me. God is amazing, showing me I was not alone!
I understand that feeling of anything is better than this. People have no idea what you might be experiencing. Holding on to toxic relationships/marriages is soul crushing
This interview has changed my life, it’s not because I’ve never heard Sarah speak…… But it is because God showed me just how in my weaknesses my time of vulnerability, my time of Fear! His POWER MOVES ! I realized that in those times I fully submitted because of my inadequacies to him😭😭😭 His POWER MOVED! he let me know that it’s in my obedience that his POWER MOVES !!😭😭😭 I can’t stop crying. I am so full right now.! 😭😭😭
thank you so much for this interview to God be the glory!🙌🏽
I just ordered the book and I can’t wait to receive it. Thank you for just being you. ! Truly, the power of God has moved through this interview to bring light and revelation of his presence in my life!
That was such an amazing interview. God was sitting on that sofa speaking to me through you SJR. Tears flowing. Your words ignited a signal inside of me that I didn’t know existed. It’s like layers are being peeled off of my skin in this surrendering posture to help me breathe underneath the grave I put myself in. It’s like the beginning stages of a plant 🌱. It’s God’s Power that just moved through you to shift me into my new! Blessings to you and Thank you for sharing your story with me 🙏🏽. IT’S PERSONAL ❤
This moment…. “I think I need you” - this is everything!!!! Want and need are very powerful verbs! Love is a verb… connection! This podcast is a blessing!
Thank you Sarah and I am so grateful for your platform. I’m 60 years old and sitting at the feet of the younger generations learning so much that will allow my later years to see the restoration of God in my life. My children are writing stories right now that I don’t like but listening to you both today let’s me no that there is no failure in God and his glory will come to pass in their lives. Blessed be the Name of the Lord.
Ma'am, I am connected to this comment because you said your children are writing stories you don't like, but there's no failure in God. I feel the same with my son, but I believe God covers him through me and my mother and he'll come to Christ in God's time. Thank you for sharing.
I can’t wait to read the book.
When she said
I need you, your breath is connected to your Destiny. I really enjoyed this episode. Power moves
OKAY! She got me at, "My destiny is connected to your breath!" WOW. As a married woman that was deep on all kinds of levels.
I needed this message. As a woman who has been married for fifteen years, only together 3 1/2 years of the marriage and divorced for the past seven years, this message came to me right on time for me. I have not dated anyone for the past 22 years, and it has been really scary for me. I stepped out of my comfort zone, my independence, and gave this man a chance to get to know me. Now I'm leaning on God with this one.
The way I ran to this episode! Sarah is on the yellow couch
Honey❤
Girl me too😊
Listen!!!! 🎉❤❤❤❤
Girllll! I saw Sarah and I clicked right away! No questions asked.
Me too 😂
This was an GOD LEAD INTERVIEW, the first personal interview I have ever watched about Sarah Jakes Roberts, and being a former single teen parent back in 1988 I connected and understood. Then as if the interview wasn't amazing enough I learned a little more about Laterrus Whitfield and his ministry outside of the Dear Future Wifey podcast. WOW continue to move HOLY SPIRIT I will be covering these ministries in prayer and you guys have not seen nothing yet ❤💪 🙏.
"I think I need you", "Your Destiny is connected to your breathe", What powerful words that leave you speechless. We have to surrender to this reality! OMG! May God bless their Union. 10 years is a Blessings. This podcast has blessed me. And teaches me that, It is OK to be vulnerable with my husband when we meet. I'm glad I took the time to listen. Women Evolve 23 was Epic! (On Time God). Thank you for sharing with the world. Blessing Laterras
Sarah!!!!!!! Laterras!!!Jesus!!! This interview right here ….Chef’s Kiss. The amount of laughter and tears this conversation brought out of me. I got a chance to attend the Woman Evolve Conference last year and my life has forever been changed because of what God deposited into me during that conference. Thank y’all for giving God your Yes❤
My destiny is connected to his breath. The waterworks are flowing.😭😭😭😭😭😭That is what I’m waiting on. THAT is what I am waiting on.
The power of her words. She is so poetic.
Praying for all the teen moms. Pregnant at 17 and 20 I watched my best friends go to prom with a baby on my hip. Id say that was the saddest day of my life.
I always knew that it was my fault because I consistently made bad choices.
I pray that any teen mom reading knows that this is only the beginning. Your latter shall be greater!
She is Powerful! So Authentic! And funny! She is real that’s why so many are drawn to her ministry! #HolySpiritPower #PowerMoves
She was so graceful and loving in delivering the power needed by us listeners. I see her mother in her, but I also see her own woman that God has called her to be. Thank God for this podcast.❤❤❤
Hol up. I cant even imagine how Toure felt when you said you needed him because men want to be needed. Sarah has always had a way with words. Whew!!
Wow I saw my whole life story In her story. God just open up my memory so I could see my destiny more clearly. WOW !
As a single mum! This was so amazing, inspiring and definitely has me hopeful! I love Pastor Sarah ❤❤
🎉 🎉🎉🎉 we are strong
This video kept popping up every time I opened RUclips. Today, I asked myself why does this video keep showing up? God said watch it. I'm so glad I did. This was a conversation that I desperately needed to hear. Thank you both for this. God knew what He was doing.❤
I clicked the like button before I started watching the video because I already knew it was about to be an awesome episode.
I so love Sarah Jakes Roberts 🙌🏿🙌🏿💖
Same here
For sure I did without question👋🏽
I know this is going to be GOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDD!!
P
“I don’t feel entitled to big results”! This part!!!
For more than 5 years, I stayed in a relationship that God did not approve. I got beaten in all the ways that nobody should be beaten. Affairs from both sides, stopped going to church, emotionally battered and at a point, ruined. Man, even today i have to be daily in God's presence and remind myself that I am worthy of love and that God is my father. Then He sent my husband. The man who was specifically knows how to love me through my hurt and help me in my purpose. He pushes me to be my best self and most importantly, draw closer to God.
I felt very similar when I got pregnant in high school after my mother passed away from her fight with cancer. The Catholic school I went to made me feel dirty and a problem and shunned. It made me cut off my relationship with God. Took me many many years to go back and repair that..but still have issues mentally & emotionally with feeling judged by the church and others if they were to know my past mistakes and choices. Her story resonates with me so much…the strength it takes to push through those years of feeling used and judged and not good enough to where you question your worth, it’s a lot. Love Sarah!
She is such a breath of fresh air!!! I like love her preaching her podcast and I definitely pre ordered this book!! I cannot wait for it to be released!! She helps me get up and into work every morning❤
Wow this interview 👌🏾
To have a man in my life that truly gets me,love me, in my corner etc ...
Him saying I need you and me knowing I need him is truly a powerful thing. 🤧 ❤
“The moment that you realize that the shame can move, that the anxiety can move, that power moves, then power can move through you, and you can make power moves”
Mercy!👏🏽👏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
This is my girl!!!!!!!!! When I first Got saved 6 years ago the Lord lead me to her never heard of her. Now I understand why I struggled and dealt with shame of getting pregnant at 16. She took every word out my mouth. That I couldn’t articulate. Til this day I keep getting “you remind of Sarah Jakes” as I grow into my anointing. I know God used her story to show me the power I have and carry as well. etc…It’s me I’m that one girl she did it for! I love her story and this was such a great well questioned interview. I’m proud of both of y’all!
She walks as a Woman Evolved from 14 yr old teen mom, the evolving to a woman just wanting to share her story and help another girl think differently about herself, then evolving to a co-pastor with Pastor Toure, to evolving to a woman who empowers millions of other women to evolve, now one of the executive Pastor serving alomg side her huaband at TPH, her home church.
.....God is amazingly....only God can do it if we just surrender to the process.
God can really blow our minds and 10x what we thought our plan was supposed to be.
What’s waiting for you in the room is more important than who’s in the room 🙌🏾. Several years ago I started going to church by myself and it quickly involved to my date time with Jesus 💗
I remember that Bishop Jakes was not feeling well at a Sunday service. It got me worried, and I started to panic. If something happened to him, who would take over the church? Also, bring a word like he does. God answered my prayer, and the very next Sunday, Sarah preached. I've been resting since then.
Hum.
She’s hands down my FAV 😊Stay Blessed pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts 😍
Wow! Write who you will be to that person. Thank you Sarah Jakes Roberts for giving us your story and how God transformed and used your story!
Listen, this is why I love Pastor Sarah. The transparency! If we all could only be this transparent. I have had a moment where the person I love cheated on me, and I lost it. And that's all I'm going to say on that. We all can snap.
God allow me to have a love like this , for me and my husband to speak of each other this way . In Jesus' mighty name, I pray . Amen !Amen !Amen! 🙏🏽
In LOVE with this WOMAN!! The first time I really heard her speak was the wig drop. That whole situation, message, the way she handled it, and I could just see the exacerbation on her at the wig malfunction, but it was the most amazing, powerful message I think I have ever seen. I said nobody but God did that because He needed to prove up His daughter and His people needed to see and experience that masterful moment. It could not have been more perfect. Sarah Jakes Roberts, may the love, Peace, and purpose of the Lord always rest upon you beloved. I love you sister. Bless up ❤
Sara preaching on God's confirmation when u meet your God sent partner u have to make it work, you have to surrender to God's plan. Your destiny is attached to that person God made for u ❤ Sis speaking to me and everything in my life 🙏🏾
This woman’s words are beyond her …for sure the holly spirit speaks when she opens her mouth ❤
I loved "Lost and Found." I appreciate her vulnerability, and she's definitely put language to how I felt!
Thank you for your transparency Sister Roberts. Thank you Jesus 🙏
Love love love SJR!!! That part about putting stuff together wrong.... so good. The Lord told me, "The only way to get my blessing after you've done something I didn't permit is to remove yourself from it!" This is an amazing podcast. So proud of you Bro. Laterras 🙏🏽✨️
An ICON. And a voice for this generation, for such a time as this. Thank you Pastor Sarah! You are POWERFUL. And Thank you Pastor Toure for loving her the way you do! 🌻🥹
This was such a blessing! Shout out to her family for covering her. Me and my family have followed Bishop Jakes since "Woman Thou Art Loosed" used to come to Jericho here in DC. We went to All of the things in Atlanta... My mom was a part of Aaron's Army.. We might as well have been Potters House members ... and we had NO CLUE Sarah had a baby! I remember the fairlytale wedding and that was it... Until I saw her and her current husband ministering. I LOVE what this awesome woman of God has done for the body of Christ and women in particular! ❤
This is soooo good. I was a teen mom and also divorced after 10 years of marriage. This blessed me. Grew up a preachers kid in a judgmental Christian world
Hands down theeee best podcast out here🙌
Thank you
When Sarah said “Anything is better than what I am in” was sooo personal for me!!! This episode was EVERYTHING!!! It was so personal to me and my situation! Whew! TYJ!
Woooowww.... "Her destiny is connected to Pastor Toure's breath. Powerful! Geesh, Sarah is putting language to what I'm missing and needing from a future spouse. I've been trying to figure it out. My ex wants us to get back together, but I'm not convinced that he's the one I need! Sarah gave me chills! I felt that in my core!
I'm thankful for Sarah's story. I carried so much shame, gulit and rejection for so many years! I thank God for her authenticity! God Bless you for doing ministry the way God assigned you to. 🙌
Wow she gave language to everything I have known to be my reality but articulated it in a way only SJR can articulate. Proud of you Sarah. I pray that the Power moves book will be available in China too, I will certainly be the first one to buy it.🌟🌟💕💕💞💞🙏🏽🙏🏽❤️❤️🙌🙌
“My DESTINY is CONNECTED to your breath” That’s deep real deep…wow!
The wig moment is what got me to follow Sarah Jakes Roberts
To: MY favorite Podcast Host, Latteras R. Whitfield, thank you so much for having MY Co-Pastor, Sarah Jakes Roberts on your show. What an amazing interview! Pastor Sarah traveling mercies to you on your book tour for "POWER MOVES". Best wishes!🎉❤🙏🏾💯
Our pleasure!
I just purchased my ticket to the power moves tour in LA. I can’t wait. I’m also writing how I’m going to be to my future hubby. This interview gave me so much hope to hear about how she needs PT. Thank you ❤❤❤
I literally cried through the entire interview! God is so undeniably amazing and gracious when He chooses the least likely, the underdog, the one who doesn't believe they are worthy, to touch, reach, and share the love of God to people just like them! I thank you for this interview with Pastor Sarah and how she is allowing God to use her story to heal women all around the world, and you are allowing God to use your story and life, to heal young Black men in foster care! No greater love than when a man lay down his life for a friend! Again, thank you! ❤🙏🏾❤
Always love SJR’s transparency! I’m about to cry now as you talk about the passing the mantle moment. That was a moment for the books. I felt that moment for every woman’s inner child!
