It is no secret that Bishop TD Jakes daughter Sarah, became pregnant at the age of 14. Barely a teenager, she had to find her way under the scrutiny of the black church and the world, facing the judgement of outsiders wondering how a “preacher's kid” ends up a teen mom. Teenage pregnancy is hard enough to manage in an average home, but Sarah had to navigate in a home with a dad who’s the pastor of a mega church.
However, Bishop Jakes and his wife Serita Jakes supported their daughter through everything. Most recently, Sarah, now 25, she shared her testimony in front of her father’s massive congregation while introducing her new book “Lost and Found: Finding Hope in the Detours of Life. The book takes us inside Sarah’s growth period and finding God as she embraced her new role in life, motherhood.
Sarah made an appearance on the red carpet for the premiere of her father’s film “Black Nativity”, directed by Kasi Lemmons. We stopped the mother, activist and author to talk about her book. Even her dad Bishop Jakes chimed in!
Sarah is currently head of the Women’s Ministry at “The Potter’s House” and a personality for inspirational show “The Potter’s Touch” For more information on Sarah’s book “Lost and Found” you can find details on her website www.sarahjakes.com
