When you're a teenager - How do you determine what being a Christian looks like, if you're not willing to be as transparent as the realty TV world we live in? If we are to make it easy for others to find God, we must be more diligent about sharing our stories, openly and honestly.

Sarah Jakes Roberts

Sarah Jakes Roberts (* 1988) ist eine US-amerikanische Pastorin, Bestsellerautorin und Leiterin der Bewegung „Woman Evolve“, die im charismatisch-evangelikalen Umfeld US-amerikanischer Großkirchen wirkt. Sie steht für Themen wie emotionale Heilung, das Überwinden von Scham und Neuanfänge nach persönlichen Krisen, sieht sich jedoch auch theologischer Kritik an einem stark motivationalen, auf Selbsthilfe ausgerichteten Predigtstil ausgesetzt. Für Bibelleser bieten ihre Impulse lebensnahe Anknüpfungspunkte bei Versagensängsten und Alltagskrisen, werfen aber zugleich die Frage nach der Grenze zwischen biblischer Auslegung und psychologischer Ermutigung auf.
