Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts delivered a powerful message today and in the midst of it she removed her wig.
The moment went viral everywhere and she explained on Instagram why she did it.
She said:
I’ve always enjoyed getting dressed up and looking my best.
I also have worked really hard to separate my worth and identity from my appearance. I can be full glam one day and fresh hyperpigmented face the next.
Today I was preaching and I could feel my wig slipping.
My message was more important to me than maintaining my appearance so I took it off, locked in, and kept preaching.
What moved me the most was seeing how many women joined me in getting courageously vulnerable, real, and free. Literally, wigs coming off everywhere.
I can’t even imagine what God is going to do in September when we gather for Woman Evolve.
The message will be up soon and I’m sure the video will circulate a bit but the wigs, beat face, clothes, and shoes are just another way of showing that you can love Jesus and still be fly, but if I didn’t have any of it and still was chosen to preach the gospel, I would. And I did. And I am. As long as you get the message and God gets the glory, my job is done.
