I love how Stephanie Ike asks her questions and then steps back to listen and let her guests speak. She doesn't feel the need to insert herself or her story at every turn of the interview. Lovely interview!
I've never watched an interview that's so amazingly organic, with the host asking such authentic questions and listening to both women speaking openly with substance and wisdom.
Oh my you're so right. I've wanted things so badly to happen and after staving off of it for so long, I've rushed into it for God to still distant that thing or situation from me; as to say; "I'm YOUR FATHER and I've said NO.
I didn’t realize Sarah Jake Roberts was only 31, she extremely wise beyond her years and exudes a high level of maturity and confidence. It’s incredible and she is a huge inspiration to me.
It's amazing how we can listen to the same interview and hear or resonate with different points. Because I didn't even hear this statement during the interview.
That part stood out to me, because I watched this video today. However, yesterday on instagram I used a similar analogy- this had me clapping and saying Amen 🙏
God woke me up at 4:44 am this morning and I couldn’t go back to sleep. Prayed a little and God brought me to this video. I am currently in waiting, pruning, cocooning season. Even when I feel my loneliest he lets me know he is right here.
It's so interesting how this question can lead to deeper conversation. I asked a male friend of mine how he was doing this morning and he said he was doing good. About an hour later, I remembered this question and asked him how his heart was. He then told me that he wasn't doing too well and has been feeling lonely. He lives out of state and has been social distancing alone at home. Glad I was able to provide extra emotional support by asking this question!
My friend- years ago- always started asking me, "How is your soul, darling?" And I was so thankful for the work God did in her that gave her the utterance to ask such a beautiful and intentional question. ♥️
Yes!!! Anointed! She wants people healed. The questions she asked were so good and caused the interviewees to go deep And get to the root of some things- which helped me very much.
Stephanie Ike is gifted to hear the heart of the listener. She is a gifted speaker and an equally gifted moderator. I don't know her, but I want to highlight that she is critically needed as a bridge between the featured speaker and the audience. Her timing, reframing, and connection with the hungry heart in her audience are golden.
In this interview, Essence sounds like she is really going through a tough period, God bless her soul, please give her the strength and wisdom to push through this season in her life. Essence, you are loved by the Almighty, all these worldly struggles are temporary...
I got the sense that Essence is truly becoming more of who God has intended her to be....embracing her true identity in Christ..i heard the sweetness of her love relationship with the Father! Sweet and Powerful!
I would love to have all these women in my circle. Essence lives her name, even in the space/place she is privately in right now - she speaks from a place of peace, calm and eloquence.
And Essence's segment is a blessing in the 2020 documentary, "Behind Her Faith". She is waiting well. I am in the period of waiting myself. I am waiting well. I have done my assessment.
Can we take the time to acknowledge how excellent the interviewer is . She was so engaged and thorough with her questions that she squeezed everything out of them.
@@ceciliaatogembasia8222 I love Red Table Talk. I definitely don't want Jada to stop pouring out her power into us. I know everyone has an opinion but the comment bothered me because it has been hard for black women and now black women have found their voices and I don't want them to lose their voice.
I'm so glad that the world gets to hear and see my friend Essence in this depth. Essence has a pure heart for God. I've watched Sarah evolve from a 13 year old into a giant in the ministry. She is so dope. I've never heard of Stephanie but she will not be forgotten. She is not only a gifted interviewer but an anointed woman of God.
Her story reminds me of the ministry of RC Blakes, Jr. & how God is using his wisdom to bless people all over the world! It's amazing. May God continue to bless y'all.

“Understand that the power of waiting is not about the guaranteed that what you want will be fulfilled rather the guarantee that we will find ourselves. Who we are will be revealed and who God has called us to be will be revealed” 💡 Thank you for blessing us with James 1:4
YOOOOOOO "When we are waiting on something that we believe is gonna give us more worth or value, and we don’t receive it than it takes away from our worth or value!" BOOM! If that is not a word. I loved that sentence. It speaks exactly to the problem. That too often we desire something like a man or relationships because we believe it adds to our value as women and then when we don't get it we compare ourselves to others, thinking we are inferior or a failure. But Sarah is right IF YOU ARE BREATHING, YOU ARE VALUABLE!
God bless you lovely & be lifted up & have answered prayer cause God wants you blessed with truth, wisdom, knowledge, joy, peace, protection & power in your life!!!
“ In order for us to enjoy the glory of the resurrection we have to be prepared to endure the persecution of the cross! “ That is a whole sermon by itself! ✝️🔥
The interviewer did a great job! She obviously did her research - asking insightful questions and nicely transitioning the flow of the conversation from topic to topic. Well done! Such a good mix of classiness and intelligence!
I’m a student and I’ve been praying to God for scholarships for about a year. I’m still waiting and lately it’s been very discouraging and just confusing, especially in the midst of this pandemic where I really need help because my parents won’t be able to help with my tuition. Every time I think that that I’m qualified for something, it seems that someone else receives it. I was scrolling through Instagram and I found a post for this podcast. This is what I need🙌🏾
Hey, know that God is faithful. Everything is in His timing because when you are bless with your scholarship..you will know that it was all God and give Him all the glory. Cast your cares upon Him for he cares for you....1 Perter 5:7
Jemima Janvier, God is definitely using you unceasing prayer to draw you closer to him. And you’re not qualify because God has the greatest and best qualification for you. So take courage that show ears are not deaf and He’s has the best for you. So I encourage you to keep praying and reminding faithful. Because He’s true to His word. Also inquire of Him as to what vocation He’ll have you to take as well. God bless.
Oh sis I've been where you are but the waiting is NOT in vain. I didn't have money for school the first year of school. I had saved up right after highschool half my income from my summer job and had gotten small scholarships from applications i applied to but not enough to cover a full year. Couldn't get the parent plus loan. Ohhhhh but God. One day at my old church the pastor had mentioned someone was in need of financial breakthrough and at first, I was hesitant to go up but then, I went anyway. I was the only one and he prayed over me. Not long After that my cousin let me know that a colleague of his was looking to sponsor another college student Girl He took care of tuition groceries books And place to stay. I am not in deep debt because of that blessing. God was faithful and the back pay of my balance on student loans was paid! All the scholarships I was applying for wasn't coming through my school but God had a ram in the bush. He is faithful, be encouraged.
This is fantastic. The interviewer is one of the best I've see; she really did her research. Sarah is wise; sitting there looking like the perfect balance of both her parents. And Essence--what a smart woman; refreshing to hear an actress of faith speak. God bless all three of you gorgeous women. I am going to watch this with my daughters later.
Woah! The amount of JEWELS just dropped in this video was a blessing! So on time with everything! So looking forward to more content! Anyone that come across this video, I pray you are filled. Your cup will run over. In Jesus Name! ❤️
I'm currently in this season and it's painful but God promised to sustain me and he's been faithful. I realize that God blesses us through some disappointments and would protect us even from ourselves. That's how much he loves us. It's not easy but to any person who is this season, trust God. Trust his process. Trust his plan for you.
I had to pause this video a couple of times and simply relish at their gentle beauty. It reminded me of 1 Peter 3:3-4. There is a quietness to all three of them that invites you to lean in and want to know more at their feet. There is kindness in their eyes and love in their smiles. I thoroughly enjoyed this interview!!!! I felt affirmed, seen, advised, and shown Godly peaceful beauty.
This was such a great interview! 3 intelligent women of God being authentic and raw! I needed to hear this message today. Essence’s prayer at the end was so beautifully prayed. I declare in the name of Jesus that my waiting is not in vain.
Right I cried! Lol this was indeed powerful and for me. I don't have an issue with waiting but my issue is walking in my office/calling of Prophecy. I was bold before but it feels as if I have been stripped. But I feel my help coming on by continuously watching stuff like this that will continue to uplift and empower me so that I may and will arose to the occasion. There is a lost and dieing world out here that needs to hear my voice and what God will have me to say to His people. Pray for me if you believe in Christ Jesus. We all have to bear our cross. And I'm praying for you all as well.

I usually don't do comments but I loved this sisterhood interview. It reminds me of the verse that says "Many are the plans in man's heart but God's purpose prevails." May God bless you.
OMG! This is my word! I can barely hold back the tears in the break room here at work. My husband passed in 2015 when he was living with another woman. Ive been so bitter and so hurt and yet so lonely for him. So much has happened. I NEVER thought about this as a period of waiting and assessment and preparation for better in losing all that I lost. PRAISE BE TO GOD! look at Him work. I see that I need to just be thankful for what he has delivered me from. And what He is going to deliver me into. Thank you ladies. Thank you for your honesty, vulnerability, and for your obedience to God. You inspire and encourage me. I so needed that. My soul needed that. I pray that my first thought is always, “thank you, God!” 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
My dad use to tell me the same thing, to stop looking down I had nothing to be ashamed of, it wasn't that i was ashamed of something, it was that i wasn't confident in myself at all.
Oh my. As soon as Essence started praying, the tears started rolling. It’s almost like it sounds like an angel is praying. Her voice is so soothing but her words are so powerful !
Selfishness during the waiting period. "Everything that we are opportune to experience is about the responsibility of the blessing and not about the satisfaction of receiving it"
I went through a divorce myself. Still healing from that. And also lost my ten year old autistic daughter. She was abducted and murdered. Healing and waiting. I am thankful that I have a relationship with God and thank God for the people who are there for me, through thick and thin. I agree ☝️ with you ladies on sisterhood and woman empowerment
'Work Ethic" was profound to me but I've found that my work ethic is similar to my spiritual growth effort. I've done a little but wanted a lot. Self assessment has become my posture as I learn to do Colossians 3:1-2 - "Set my mind on things above." Thanks and God bless all of you.
Who else was waiting for Pastor Sarah to look directly in the camera and say "I don't know who this is for..but I hear God saying".... lol I'm just throwing jokes...but anyway...I enjoyed this conversation.
I love what Essence said - waiting patiently with ourselves! That’s self love guys. Love is also being patient with ourselves with who we are becoming! & also what Sarah said : waiting forces us to do thorough introspection!
This was absolutely amazing! I pray God blesses me with friends I can just talk to...just like this. None of the surface things...the real life...HEART things 🙏🏾
I didn’t stumble upon this by mistake GOD led me here!..wowww this blessed me sooooooooooooooooo much GOD richly bless you Stephanie, Essence and Sarah❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thank you Ms. Stephanie for inviting this two blessed women to share their challenges, successes and wait in life. They are both godly and intelligent.
This is such a beautiful video. Bringing so much clarity for me and I was thinking the whole time like whew I can't wait to meet women like the three of you because you are just so phenomenal, radiant, blessed and mature but i'm realizing that if I want to meet such people with such qualities, I'd have to attract them and to attract, I'd have to BE them and I'm only 19 but the desire to be this phenomenal and inspirational is huge. You ladies are doing a whole lot and God is using you mightily.. talk about goals!!
I really like you perspective on attracting women that you want around by being that woman!! And at such a young age with that great mindset, if you really put it into action God will take you places with the right women that are aligned with you in HIM! Blessings!
Another comment I’ve watched Essence on different shows, but I didn’t know she was a christian, what a blessing to hear her share her heart and soul, may good things her way.
Tears of hope and love are streaming down my face. BC God just keeps showing up in waves sending messages back to back to me on the issues of my heart. God never leaves me alone and when I submit my heart to him he always comes through to let me know He is meeting me where I am. I am humbled by this word and by the word I received from Dr. Dharius Daniel's today. When God shows up he pours his loving word on me guiding me into truth and helping me release the weight back onto him.
Stephanie you are so beautiful. I loved how humble you are in this interview. Pastor Sarah simply anointed. Thank you 🙏🏾 Essence for your wisdom. May God bless all three of you ladies. In Jesus Name. Amen 🙏🏾.
This was a fantastic interview. The interviewer asked great questions and had a good rapport with the guests. Fantastic guests, eloquent and thoughtful! 💕
I love that I took the time out to listen to these strong women in Christ. This is also one of my desires to have a woman's group where, we as women can share our hearts and build each other up.
I literally stayed strong the whole video until the end when Essence said she would tell herself “i am proud of you” . Being our worst critics can really take a toll and hearing that made me cry, bc i don’t hear it enough, and don’t get me started on that prayer ! This video was amazing and i felt so seen
Powerful chat! I cried half way through 😪😪😪😪😪 reflecting on my personal journey to wanting a child after 4yrs of marriage. I was counting my years of waiting that I totally forgot bout the value of waiting.It now hit me hard to "wait well and to know its purpose." I'm struck by these 3 women of Faith 🙏 Bless your Heart ❤

Yes very nice , not interrupting them .
Yea...she's doing it so beautiful
“God is so for me that he would protect me from myself”🙌🏾 a Word.
Lakiesha Haralson I felt this you said the word I couldn’t find thank you 🙏🏾
This same sentence sync so well with my spirit.
Oh my you're so right. I've wanted things so badly to happen and after staving off of it for so long, I've rushed into it for God to still distant that thing or situation from me; as to say; "I'm YOUR FATHER and I've said NO.
When she said that, man did it hit me to the CORE🙏🏽😭
Yes! I had to pause the video and write that awesome truth down!
I didn’t realize Sarah Jake Roberts was only 31, she extremely wise beyond her years and exudes a high level of maturity and confidence. It’s incredible and she is a huge inspiration to me.
I know right? she is anointed that's what it is..
You won't believe Stephanie as well this 2023 and Stephanie has just turn 30
She's full of the world and looking good on her profile. Bling bling bling
"When we become stagnant, just like water, we start to stink." That was deep. 🙏🏾🙌🏾

God woke me up at 4:44 am this morning and I couldn’t go back to sleep. Prayed a little and God brought me to this video. I am currently in waiting, pruning, cocooning season. Even when I feel my loneliest he lets me know he is right here.

These kinds of conversations are soulful.
Amen! These conversations are so important. Women coming together to build each other up!
You know why? Because women need women. We esteem each other, we protect each other and correct each other. Hhuum....isn’t that what sister’s do.
Why is this not trending? Three powerful women in one room🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Whoo when Essence speaks you can tell it's coming from such a beautiful place. Such wisdom.
She has such a beautiful soul! You can tell when one has spent quality time with Jesus.

“Winning him would have cost me to lose myself”
God I thank you so much for protecting me from what I thought I wanted 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽
I'm currently in this season and it's painful but God promised to sustain me and he's been faithful.
I realize that God blesses us through some disappointments and would protect us even from ourselves. That's how much he loves us. It's not easy but to any person who is this season, trust God. Trust his process. Trust his plan for you.
We are only a heartbreak away from bitterness
I had to pause this video a couple of times and simply relish at their gentle beauty. It reminded me of 1 Peter 3:3-4. There is a quietness to all three of them that invites you to lean in and want to know more at their feet. There is kindness in their eyes and love in their smiles. I thoroughly enjoyed this interview!!!! I felt affirmed, seen, advised, and shown Godly peaceful beauty.
Amen 🙏🏾!!
This was such a great interview! 3 intelligent women of God being authentic and raw! I needed to hear this message today. Essence’s prayer at the end was so beautifully prayed. I declare in the name of Jesus that my waiting is not in vain.
Right I cried! Lol this was indeed powerful and for me. I don't have an issue with waiting but my issue is walking in my office/calling of Prophecy. I was bold before but it feels as if I have been stripped. But I feel my help coming on by continuously watching stuff like this that will continue to uplift and empower me so that I may and will arose to the occasion. There is a lost and dieing world out here that needs to hear my voice and what God will have me to say to His people. Pray for me if you believe in Christ Jesus. We all have to bear our cross. And I'm praying for you all as well.
Amen. It's not in vain. We just need to focus on the unseesn.
Amen! Everything that our Father does is for a purpose.

I usually don't do comments but I loved this sisterhood interview. It reminds me of the verse that says "Many are the plans in man's heart but God's purpose prevails." May God bless you.
Room full of anointed women❤️❤️❤️
Essence you are dropping gems chile!
She is humble
OMG! This is my word! I can barely hold back the tears in the break room here at work. My husband passed in 2015 when he was living with another woman. Ive been so bitter and so hurt and yet so lonely for him. So much has happened. I NEVER thought about this as a period of waiting and assessment and preparation for better in losing all that I lost. PRAISE BE TO GOD! look at Him work. I see that I need to just be thankful for what he has delivered me from. And what He is going to deliver me into. Thank you ladies. Thank you for your honesty, vulnerability, and for your obedience to God. You inspire and encourage me. I so needed that. My soul needed that. I pray that my first thought is always, “thank you, God!” 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘

I love transperancy ... Being a Bahamian, not all but many families sweep things under the rug or just plain ignore them !👑💜😔
My dad use to tell me the same thing, to stop looking down I had nothing to be ashamed of, it wasn't that i was ashamed of something, it was that i wasn't confident in myself at all.
I could listen to Essence all day. Genuine and clearly studious in the Word. Stephanie is superb, loved her introductions❤.
That prayer led by Essence Atkins was beautiful 😍 God bless her
Oh my. As soon as Essence started praying, the tears started rolling. It’s almost like it sounds like an angel is praying. Her voice is so soothing but her words are so powerful !
Waiting makes us feel the pain... 👏🏽
So true
Selfishness during the waiting period.
"Everything that we are opportune to experience is about the responsibility of the blessing and not about the satisfaction of receiving it"
Man, that story Essence told about talking to that little kid at the party....man it gets me every time. So beautiful.
I went through a divorce myself. Still healing from that. And also lost my ten year old autistic daughter. She was abducted and murdered. Healing and waiting. I am thankful that I have a relationship with God and thank God for the people who are there for me, through thick and thin. I agree ☝️ with you ladies on sisterhood and woman empowerment
🤗🤗
God, bless you!!!!
🤗🤗🤗🥂
May the Lord heal your heart ❤
I’m so sorry for your pain. ❤
'Work Ethic" was profound to me but I've found that my work ethic is similar to my spiritual growth effort. I've done a little but wanted a lot. Self assessment has become my posture as I learn to do Colossians 3:1-2 - "Set my mind on things above." Thanks and God bless all of you.
Thanks Essence for highlighting the need to "wait well".
In a gathering of women so powerful, a discussion so simple has become a Whole Word 🔥
You're often as loyal as your options- Essence ⭐⭐⭐
For me it is you're as loyal as your faith in God
Who else was waiting for Pastor Sarah to look directly in the camera and say "I don't know who this is for..but I hear God saying".... lol I'm just throwing jokes...but anyway...I enjoyed this conversation.
😂😂
😂😂😂😂🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Fr😂
😂😂😂
I smiled
Stephanie is truly one of the best hosts I have seen in my 33yrs of age. God bless you! 🙏🏼
I literally felt the presence of God from just watching these women speak!
The wait is on purpose,for your purpose~Essence Definitely a reason why we all saw this video.
I love what Essence said - waiting patiently with ourselves! That’s self love guys. Love is also being patient with ourselves with who we are becoming! & also what Sarah said : waiting forces us to do thorough introspection!
Essence wisdom is fantastic. She articulates, waiting so well!
I love Ms.Stephanie Ike. She is inspirational and KIND!!!
I didn’t want it to end😭 So so good, and so timely, thank you for allowing God to use you all as vessels
This was absolutely amazing! I pray God blesses me with friends I can just talk to...just like this. None of the surface things...the real life...HEART things 🙏🏾
I didn’t stumble upon this by mistake GOD led me here!..wowww this blessed me sooooooooooooooooo much GOD richly bless you Stephanie, Essence and Sarah❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽
My exact feeling
I meannnnnnnnnnn THISSS!!!!! Was INCREDIBLE!!!
Essence is super smart i love her, Sarah is an inspiration too
I love hearing Stephanie speak!
Thank you Ms. Stephanie for inviting this two blessed women to share their challenges, successes and wait in life. They are both godly and intelligent.
I needed this 😭 I am here listening and crying because this is what I needed
Wow, wow, patience is the key to waiting.
"The wait is on purpose for your purpose" wow... So much wisdom from these beautiful ladies, 💕
This is such a beautiful video. Bringing so much clarity for me and I was thinking the whole time like whew I can't wait to meet women like the three of you because you are just so phenomenal, radiant, blessed and mature but i'm realizing that if I want to meet such people with such qualities, I'd have to attract them and to attract, I'd have to BE them and I'm only 19 but the desire to be this phenomenal and inspirational is huge. You ladies are doing a whole lot and God is using you mightily.. talk about goals!!
I really like you perspective on attracting women that you want around by being that woman!! And at such a young age with that great mindset, if you really put it into action God will take you places with the right women that are aligned with you in HIM! Blessings!
@@purpleluvsbestofme8374 Amen!! Thank you x
In my present season of waiting on God, I want to say thank you for this video ❤️
@Deborah Olagunju
YES!! Same here! Your picture is beautiful BTW💙
Same here
Another comment I’ve watched Essence on different shows, but I didn’t know she was a christian, what a blessing to hear her share her heart and soul, may good things her way.
Sarah is awesome no doubt but her husband is the one that helped shape my life so much, Toure speaks to my soul as soon as he opens his mouth
Wow.....Essence. Wow! You can tell when a woman loves God and has spent time with Him.
Part of this conversation has made me cry😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I'm learning to be vulnerable to my sisters as well❤️ Thank you ladies
Me too !
Wow Essence, every time you speak, it grips my heart. Wow I never expected this at all. God bless you all ladies.
Tears of hope and love are streaming down my face. BC God just keeps showing up in waves sending messages back to back to me on the issues of my heart. God never leaves me alone and when I submit my heart to him he always comes through to let me know He is meeting me where I am. I am humbled by this word and by the word I received from Dr. Dharius Daniel's today. When God shows up he pours his loving word on me guiding me into truth and helping me release the weight back onto him.
"God is so for me, that He'll even protect me from myself" wow!
That is so true, everything that is wrong with everyone started when they were a child, I can relate to that.
Stephanie you are so beautiful. I loved how humble you are in this interview. Pastor Sarah simply anointed. Thank you 🙏🏾 Essence for your wisdom. May God bless all three of you ladies. In Jesus Name. Amen 🙏🏾.
This was a fantastic interview. The interviewer asked great questions and had a good rapport with the guests. Fantastic guests, eloquent and thoughtful! 💕
This was amazing! Love from Kenya 🇰🇪
I love that I took the time out to listen to these strong women in Christ. This is also one of my desires to have a woman's group where, we as women can share our hearts and build each other up.
Absolutely beautiful. I want Friends/sisterhoods like this. GOD keep these beautiful souls. ❤️🙏🏾
Me:( shouting that part in every part. )
I loved these. God bless you.
That Sarah Jake's intro... sis... you spoke my heart!!!! Pastor Jakes you are truly what real and realistic spirituality personified looks like....
"Wait Well" 🙌 being pruned is painful 😭😭😭 but thank God for this new perspective 🙏
I literally stayed strong the whole video until the end when Essence said she would tell herself “i am proud of you” . Being our worst critics can really take a toll and hearing that made me cry, bc i don’t hear it enough, and don’t get me started on that prayer ! This video was amazing and i felt so seen
We're not living in deficit...we have what we need! You still have something to give...#lovethis
Powerful chat! I cried half way through 😪😪😪😪😪 reflecting on my personal journey to wanting a child after 4yrs of marriage. I was counting my years of waiting that I totally forgot bout the value of waiting.It now hit me hard to "wait well and to know its purpose."
I'm struck by these 3 women of Faith 🙏 Bless your Heart ❤
I knew I had to bring a notebook, that prayer in the end 🙏🏽🦋
