My Legacy Podcast

Originally aired May 6, 2025
Sarah Jakes Roberts was recently named the successor to one of the most influential churches in the country – stepping into the role held by her father, Bishop T.D. Jakes. But the path wasn’t simple. It was marked with detours and storms she had to survive to get here.
On this episode of the My Legacy podcast, Sarah sits down with her mother, Serita Jakes, and co-hosts Martin Luther King III, Arndrea Waters King, Marc Kielburger, and Craig Kielburger, for a deeply personal conversation about overcoming life’s biggest challenges and the women who shape our lives.
From teenage motherhood and depression, to leading a movement for millions of women, Sarah shares what it means to walk boldly into a calling that once terrified her.
Unforgettable lessons from this conversation include:
How to navigate the “messy middle” without losing your faith or your fire
How to honor where you came from without staying stuck there
Why power doesn’t have to look like control—and how women are redefining it
The one mindset shift that helped Sarah step out of shame and into authority

Together, they reveal how:

Dr. Gabor Maté is one of the world's most transformative voices on trauma, addiction, and healing. He’s a physician, international bestselling author, and the man who has trained more than 4,000 healthcare providers across 110 countries to understand what the medical system too often ignores.
In this extraordinary solo conversation with hosts Martin Luther King III, Arndrea Waters King, Marc Kielburger, and Craig Kielburger, Dr. Maté challenges everything we think we know about why we suffer and how we heal.
Together, they explore how:
Trauma isn't what happened to you — it's the wound you're still carrying
Your body keeps a score your mind tries to ignore
Addiction isn't a moral failure — it's an attempt to escape emotional pain
The people closest to you trigger you most because your deepest wounds live there
You are not broken — you are whole, with something to heal

Dr. James Gordon — Harvard-trained psychiatrist, founder of the Center for Mind-Body Medicine, and author of Transforming Trauma — has spent 50 years healing people in places most of us can't imagine: war zones, school shooting sites, and communities torn apart by violence. He was also there on the Mall in 1963, when Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his I Have a Dream speech — and that sense of what's possible has never left him.
He joins hosts Martin Luther King III, Arndrea Waters King, Marc Kielburger, and Craig Kielburger alongside his godson Matt Lombard — a man whose life Jim helped hold together after losing his mother at age 11.
Together, they reveal how:
Trauma is a wound that can become a doorway to growth
Unresolved trauma changes your DNA and can be passed down three generations
The belief that you can't heal is the only thing standing between you and healing
Forgiveness isn't for the other person — it's how you stop carrying what's not yours
Soft belly breathing and dancing are two science-backed tools you can start today
