At the Woman, Thou Art Loosed! annual conference, which concluded on September 24 in Atlanta, Bishop T.D. Jakes handed the reins of the successful women’s-empowerment ministry to his daughter, Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts.Sarah Jakes Roberts, who co-pastors the Los Angeles and Denver branch of the Potter’s House with her husband, Touré Roberts, will lead future women’s conferences under the name “Evolve.”In her 2014 book “Lost and Found,” Jakes Roberts describes overcoming struggles including pregnancy at age 13, a rriage at 19 that ended in divorce, low self-esteem, and more. By dealing with guilt and shame, she was able to transform from insecure and fearful to a “powerhouse” who helps other women “evolve into the best version of themselves.”Meanwhile, Jakes, who led the prominent women’s empowerment ministry and conference for over two decades, will remain senior pastor of the Dallas-based megachurch, The Potter’s Church.“With every drop of oil that falls upon your head, may the strength and power of the Almighty God rest upon your life,” Jakes told his daughter as he anointed her with oil on stage.“After 30 years of Woman, Thou Art Loosed! and 45 years of preaching the Gospel, the time has come that I must decrease, and you must increase,” Jakes continued. “This is not an inheritance; this is a calling. You are not standing on this stage for family legacy. This is not a favour, but a divine assignment that Woman, Thou Art Loosed! must evolve.”
