INTERVIEW: Pastor Touré Roberts Talks New Book ‘Knowing’, Learning To Be Still, Self-Love, Overcoming Trauma + More

Pastor Touré Roberts joins The Breakfast Club to discuss his new book, 'Knowing,' a powerful exploration of self-awareness, spiritual stillness, and healing from trauma. Drawing from personal experiences—including his wife Sarah’s serious neck injury and his own past gunshot wound—Roberts emphasizes that true knowing comes not from certainty, but from the ability to reframe life’s challenges with faith and gratitude. He unpacks how trauma can distort perception, turning fear into false wisdom, and stresses the importance of therapy, metacognition, and relationship-based self-discovery. Roberts also shares profound insights on self-love as a foundation for loving others, the necessity of maintaining individual identity within marriage, and the danger of believing one has 'arrived' in life. Through candid stories about parenting, his son’s calling to return to L.A., and his daughter’s unexpected foreword to the book, he illustrates how children often embody a purer form of knowing. The conversation culminates in a prayer for healing, clarity, and divine purpose, underscoring the book’s mission: to help people ground themselves in truth amid life’s uncertainty.
