In the second installment of our devotional series, SJR continues the conversation on what it means to go rogue. And at the end of the day, it's conviction over consensus, sis. Romans 12 sets the tone, reminding us that real change doesn't happen overnight. So if evolving feels like a lot, remember that Jesus clocked every flaw and still chose you. Matthew 5 is assigned as homework because living set apart is not for the faint of heart, especially when them old ways try to spin the block. Don't try to dip out early now!

Listennnn… welcome to 2026, sis. We are starting this year a little different, on purpose. No performing, no pretending, no "I'm fine" faith. Just real. In this episode, Sarah opens up about what it actually means to go rogue. Not rebellion for attention, but breaking up with the patterns, the fears, and the "truths" you picked up in the air that are keeping you stuck. We're talking identity, confidence, and the sneaky way old labels try to follow you into a new season. If you've ever been quicker to believe the negative than receive the good, if one comment can disconnect you from feeling loved by God, or if you can tell your heart has gotten a little guarded… pull up. We're getting in Ezekiel 36:26 and asking God for the kind of renewal that doesn't just sound good, but changes you from the inside out. By the end, you'll be ready to write your own Go Rogue statement, challenge what fear has been "authorized" to say over you, and start breathing fresh again. Learn more about your ad choices.

Sis, this one goes straight to the heart. A Mind Your Business question about career rejection sends Sarah into a real talk moment about how we handle the "no" we didn't see coming. Because yes, rejection can be redirection… but that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt. SJR gets honest about waiting on God when He feels quiet, the pressure to have it all figured out, and how easily we turn our relationship with God into a performance review instead of a place of refuge. In true Woman Evolve fashion, Sarah brings scripture, life, laughter, and love into a reminder we all need: before you get the next command, God wants you in His presence. Not rushed. Not perfect. Not pretending. Just present. This episode is for every woman navigating transition, healing from disappointment, or learning to trust God in the in-between.
