Sarah Jakes Roberts captivated tens of thousands of women at the Woman Evolve 2024 conference held at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas. Preaching barefoot after removing her white platform sandals, Roberts delivered an impassioned message rooted in John 11, emphasizing surrender and trust in Jesus. She reminded attendees of God’s care and transformative power, drawing from her own personal struggles to inspire the crowd.
A Legacy of Empowerment
Woman Evolve builds upon the foundation laid by Roberts’ father, T.D. Jakes, through his Woman Thou Art Loosed conference, which ran from 1996 to 2022. Since its inaugural event in 2018 with 2,000 attendees, Woman Evolve has grown into a global movement. This year’s conference attracted over 40,000 women and featured panels, worship, and practical lessons on faith, mental health, and personal growth.
Sharing Stories of Faith and Resilience
Roberts, who co-pastors The Potter’s House’s One Church in Los Angeles with her husband, shared her journey from teenage motherhood and personal challenges to becoming a voice for women seeking faith and healing. Her testimony resonated with attendees, many of whom shared their own struggles and triumphs in prayer circles and breakout sessions.
Key Speakers Deliver Messages of Surrender and Strength
Speakers like Priscilla Shirer and Nona Jones joined Roberts in delivering messages about faith, resilience, and purpose. Shirer emphasized building a life on the foundation of Christ, while Jones spoke about finding strength in rejection. The conference also featured discussions on financial stewardship, mental health, and fitness, blending biblical themes with practical advice.
A Call to Transformation
Roberts closed the event by urging women to embrace surrender and believe in God’s care, even during hardship. “You have to believe something about God that you’ve never believed before,” she said. Her message echoed the conference’s theme of evolving faith and trusting God to lead through life’s uncertainties.
