When something gets in the way of your relationship with God — it's gotta go. In "Everything Must Go," Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts teaches us to clear away what's holding us back from being who God created us to be. The things that keep us from God –– bitterness, anger, old mindsets, toxic relationships –– it's time for them to go. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There is nothing more powerful than showing our children our flaws. What may be even more powerful is showing how we show up in spite of our flaws. Join Pastor Sarah, our new homegirl and honorary doctor - Dr. Jill Waggoneer and her daughter Jillian for our final episode of the "My Mother, My Sister" series. You may want to grab some tissues!

It can be difficult to hold onto hope, especially when things seem bleak. However, it's important to remember that hope is always the answer.
