I was so excited to finally have the opportunity to talk with Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts! When I heard she was bringing her ROGUE Tour to Detroit, I knew I wanted her to stop by The Randi Myles Show.
We talked about stepping beyond the familiar, trusting God through unexpected changes, and what women can expect from this powerful experience.
What Does It Mean to Go ROGUE?
For Pastor Sarah, going rogue isn’t about throwing everything away and starting over. It’s about being willing to release our expectations when life takes an unexpected turn.
She began praying about the tour last year, asking God how we can move beyond the rules and assumptions we place on our lives. Little did she know how much her own life would change along the way.
Sarah believes we sometimes have to make room for a new beginning, even when the road ahead feels uncertain.
The ROGUE Tour brings women together for worship, inspiration, education and meaningful conversations. Special guests, including Tasha Cobbs Leonard, Kierra Sheard Kelly and Mia Ray, join Sarah to share their experiences and encourage women to keep moving forward.
But she says some of the most powerful moments happen when women connect with one another. Hearing someone else’s testimony can help make an unfamiliar path feel a little less frightening.
Learning to Embrace Who You Are Now
One of the most moving parts of our conversation came when Sarah opened up about a frightening accident earlier this year.
After suffering a spinal cord injury, she underwent surgery and spent weeks facing the possibility of paralysis or death if she moved the wrong way.
The experience changed her. And rather than trying to rush back to the person she was before, Sarah is learning to accept who she is becoming.
She’s asking herself what faith, relationships, hope and purpose look like in this new season.
That message really stayed with me. Sometimes we spend so much energy trying to get back to who we used to be that we forget God can still work through who we are today.
When Life Changes, God Can Still Begin Something New
Sarah wants women to remember that even when life feels unpredictable or unfair, God can use those moments to create new beginnings.
That doesn’t mean the uncertainty disappears. It means we can find deeper intimacy with God while we navigate it.
As the CEO of Woman Evolve, bestselling author and co-pastor alongside her husband, Touré Roberts, Sarah continues to encourage women to grow through life’s challenges rather than allow them to define their future.
I’m grateful I had the chance to connect with her and hear this reminder firsthand.
The Rogue Route Tour is in Detroit Monday, October 19th at the Masonic Temple Theatre, at 7:00pm. Tickets are available at womenevolve.com
Listen to our conversation below, and let Sarah’s words encourage you to embrace what God may be doing in your next chapter.
