7. Sarah Jakes Roberts
Daughter of Bishop T.D. Jakes, Sarah Jakes Roberts is blazing a trail for millennial women of faith. She and her husband, Touré Roberts, are co-pastors at The Potter’s House at One LA and The Potter’s House Denver. Roberts is also respected for her testimony. She has openly spoken about getting pregnant at just 14 years old, and the insecurity and depression that followed.
Eventually, she was confronted with a choice: settle or evolve. She chose the latter, and in 2017 launched Woman Evolve. This ministry seeks to transform women to realize their full potential. Now a wife, mother, businesswoman, and author of four books, Roberts is living proof that our fears and insecurities do not define us.
