Sarah Jakes Roberts Brings Her Texas-Sized Women’s Conference to the Lone Star State
Picking up the mantle of ministry and empowerment to women passed on from her father T.D. Jakes at last year’s conclusion of the long-running event Woman, Thou Art Loosed!, Sarah Jakes Roberts is bringing her fifth annual women’s conference, Woman Evolve, to Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, Sept. 14-16, 2023. Woman Evolve is shaping up to be an event of Texas-sized proportions with more than 30,000 tickets already sold.
Members of the media may apply for media credentials for Woman Evolve by filling out this form. Pre-registration is required.
While Woman, Thou Art Loosed! built a community of women up, Woman Evolve will pick up the torch and leverage innovation to catapult the community further to help women feel more connected in every aspect of their lives including in mind and body. Ultimately, the movement and event will help women progress toward the lives they desire to live. Jakes Roberts is at the forefront of an intergenerational movement helping women from all socioeconomic backgrounds erase the limits put on women. Her goal for Woman Evolve is to create a space for women to learn and grow together.
“It’s not about what women can build on their own but going further together through Woman Evolve as opposed to doing this fast and alone,” said Jakes Roberts. “I believe the power of connection and community allow us to facilitate a chartering of new paths so that we can go forward deeper and together.”
Woman Evolve will cover topics including courage, loving your body, mental health, finances, a man’s perspective and ministry.
