Dallas pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts<\/a> said she suffered a fractured neck and spinal injuries in a trampoline accident, calling it a near-paralyzing ordeal as she begins a weeks-long recovery.<\/p>\n

In a social media post on Sunday, Jakes Roberts said she was playing a game with her daughter on the trampoline and landed on her neck.<\/p>\n

“Instantly, I heard several pops in my neck,” Jakes Roberts’ post read<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She said her daughter called her husband, who then called 911. <\/p>\n

Jakes Roberts said she went to two different hospitals and had several scans done, which showed she had fractured her neck, herniated discs and endangered her spine. <\/p>\n

She shared her story, thanking God throughout. <\/p>\n

“One disc up or one disc lower, and this would’ve been a different testimony,” her post read. <\/p>\n

Jakes Roberts said her recovery is expected to take at least four to six weeks. <\/p>\n

“I’m soaking up the presence and kindness of God and in the love of friends and family,” she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Pictured in a hospital bed wearing a neck brace and sunglasses, she jokingly used a phrase that’s going viral on TikTok that said, despite her wearing the brace and moving slowly, “just know that I’m still the birthday.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jakes Roberts, who’s the daughter of Dallas’ Potter’s House founder T.D. Jakes<\/a>, and her husband Toure Roberts, were officially installed as co-senior pastors of Potter’s House in July of 2025.\u00a0<\/p>\n
