What does it look like to choose God's path over people's expectations?
Sarah Jakes Roberts sits down with media personality and storyteller Natalie Manuel Lee for an honest conversation about purpose, obedience, identity, and the courage to follow God's direction—even when it costs you comfort, approval, or familiarity.
Together, they explore the tension between culture and Kingdom living, overcoming people-pleasing, navigating family expectations, finding your own voice, and trusting God through life's transitions. The conversation also takes a candid turn into motherhood, burnout, boundaries, and the realities of raising strong-willed daughters while continuing to grow and heal yourself.
Filled with wisdom, vulnerability, and plenty of laughter, this episode is a reminder that the road to purpose isn't always easy, but it is always worth following.
