   What It Means to Be Mothered: Faith, Generational Wisdom, Breaking Cycles & Building Strong Families

   In this powerful and deeply personal episode of Grace Two Stones Podcast, host Jessica Webb welcomes back returning guest Rasohna Elder for a conversation that moves beyond professional accomplishments and into the heart of motherhood, mentorship, faith, healing, and legacy. Known for her decades of work as a social worker, nonprofit leader, mentor, and advocate for children and families, Rasohna returns to share the inspiration behind her upcoming book, Mothered. Drawing from more than thirty years of experience serving families and communities, the book blends professional insight with deeply personal reflections honoring her late mother and grandmother and the women who helped shape her life. Throughout this conversation, Jessica and Rasohna explore what it truly means to raise children with intention and how being mothered well impacts generations. They discuss the importance of community support, healthy mentorship, and the reality that parenting was never meant to happen in isolation. Together they challenge modern ideas that suggest families should do everything alone and instead highlight the value of building trusted circles of support. The episode also dives into difficult but necessary conversations about parenting patterns, generational cycles, and the responsibility adults have to examine what they pass down to their children. Rasohna shares lessons learned through years of serving families and supporting children in challenging situations, emphasizing that growth requires humility, wisdom, and intentional choices. One of the most moving parts of the conversation centers on faith and decision-making. Rasohna speaks openly about learning to seek God’s direction through life’s transitions, closed doors, difficult seasons, and parenting decisions. Through personal stories and testimony, she explains how prayer, obedience, and spiritual discernment shaped major moments in her family’s life and influenced how she approaches leadership, motherhood, and mentorship. Jessica also brings her perspective as a therapist and educator, offering reflections on emotional healing, safe relationships, and why so many adults are still learning how to give the love they may not have received themselves. Together they unpack the importance of creating environments where children can thrive emotionally, spiritually, and relationally. This episode is also a conversation about legacy. Not simply leaving financial resources behind, but building a family culture rooted in character, integrity, compassion, and faith. Rasohna shares why she believes children benefit from seeing kindness modeled consistently and why mentorship should always begin with personal responsibility and authentic leadership. Topics discussed in this episode include: Rasohna Elder’s upcoming book Mothered Motherhood, mentorship, and generational influence Parenting with faith and intentionality Breaking unhealthy family cycles The role of community and village support Spiritual guidance and hearing God’s direction Character development and leadership Healing family relationships Raising children with values and purpose Building a lasting family legacy As the conversation closes, Rasohna shares details about her upcoming East Coast book tour and reflects on the continued mission behind her nonprofit work.

   Self-Care Is Not Selfish: Dr. Shakira Miller on Faith, Leadership, and Letting Go

   In this powerful episode of Grace Through Storms, host Jessica Webb, licensed clinical mental health therapist, sits down with educator, executive coach, and woman of unwavering faith, Dr. Shakira Miller. What unfolds is not just a conversation about career success, but a deeply personal journey through loss, leadership, obedience, self-care, and radical trust in God. Dr. Miller shares how her path began far from boardrooms and doctorates. Raised in three different housing projects and navigating the devastating loss of her father at a young age, her story is rooted in resilience. From earning a scholarship to boarding school to completing her doctorate in Educational Leadership at Columbia University, her rise was not accidental. It was intentional, prayerful, and marked by divine direction. Listeners will hear how Dr. Miller transitioned from teacher to principal, then to assistant superintendent, eventually making the bold and faith-filled decision to retire after 25 years in education. Her retirement was not an escape; it was an act of obedience. Through fasting, prayer, and spiritual discernment, she stepped away from security and status to pursue what God was calling her into next. Now the founder of JJMP Coaching and Consulting—short for Jehovah Jireh, My Provider—Dr. Miller is helping leaders prioritize what many neglect: themselves. Her new book, Leading with Balance: Self-Care Is Not Selfish, challenges educators, executives, and entrepreneurs to rethink burnout culture and embrace sustainable leadership. In this episode, you’ll discover: How faith guided Dr. Miller through infertility, health scares, and professional opposition Why retirement became her greatest act of self-care The real meaning of “letting go and letting God” in business and leadership How to say no without guilt and create healthy boundaries Practical insight into executive coaching, leadership in the gray areas, and emotional regulation This conversation dives into Christian leadership, obedience, fasting, executive presence, and personal growth. Dr. Miller explains how trusting God is not passive. It requires action, discernment, and sometimes walking away from what looks good on paper. She speaks candidly about opposition, favor, and the reality that being called often comes with resistance. You’ll also hear about her passion for developing leaders beyond theory. Through her Above and Beyond Leadership Series, Dr. Miller teaches aspiring and seasoned administrators how to navigate real-world scenarios not covered in graduate programs. From crisis management to team coaching, she focuses on what happens in the gray areas of leadership where character and discernment matter most. At its heart, this episode is about legacy, alignment, and surrender. It’s about understanding that self-care is not selfish, obedience is not weakness, and favor is not luck. It’s the result of consistency, prayer, and trust in God’s timing. If you are an educator, leader, entrepreneur, or believer navigating transition, burnout, or uncertainty, this episode will both challenge and encourage you. Dr. Miller’s testimony is a reminder that storms do not disqualify you; they prepare you.

   When Tragedy Meets Trust: A Powerful Testimony of Letting Go, Being Still, and Walking With God

   In this deeply moving episode of Grace Through Storms, host Jessica Webb sits down with Marcus Turner for a raw, faith-filled conversation about what it truly means to trust God when life delivers unimaginable pain. This episode is not about surface-level inspiration or quick encouragement. It is about walking through the fire, carrying grief, responsibility, and unanswered questions, and still choosing obedience, surrender, and faith. Marcus shares his powerful testimony, beginning with his early life in the Bronx and the moments when God’s protection became undeniable. From near-death encounters to life-altering decisions, his story unfolds as a reminder that God’s presence often reveals itself most clearly in chaos. The conversation moves into fatherhood, identity, and learning to see God not as a distant figure, but as an active guide in everyday decisions. One of the most emotional moments of the episode centers on the loss of Marcus’s daughter, an active-duty service member whose sudden passing reshaped his entire world. Rather than turning away from God in anger or despair, Marcus explains how grief drew him closer to Him. He speaks candidly about choosing strength over bitterness, leadership over collapse, and faith over fear for the sake of his family, including raising his grandson and navigating autism, education systems, and generational healing. Throughout the episode, Jessica Webb, a licensed clinical mental health therapist, adds thoughtful insight on grief, obedience, discernment, and the intersection of faith and mental health. Together, they explore how stillness, surrender, and spiritual maturity often contradict cultural expectations of control and self-reliance. This conversation challenges listeners to rethink what blessings look like, how God removes people and situations for protection, and why obedience sometimes requires letting go of what feels familiar. This episode speaks directly to anyone who has ever asked God “why,” felt misunderstood in their faith walk, or struggled to trust Him in seasons of loss, transition, or uncertainty. It is a testimony of resilience, generational transformation, and the quiet power of being still. In this episode, you’ll hear about: Faith forged through tragedy and loss Choosing obedience instead of resentment Grief, fatherhood, and spiritual leadership Autism, advocacy, and God’s provision The danger of false blessings and spiritual distractions Why stillness is often where God speaks the loudest Letting go of relationships God has outgrown Building generational faith instead of generational cycles This is an episode for believers and seekers alike, offering hope without minimizing pain and faith without denying reality. It reminds us that God does not promise a life without storms, but He does promise to walk with us through them.

   What do you do when your body is breaking down, doctors don’t have answers, and the pain won’t stop? On this powerful episode of Grace Through Storms, host Jessica Webb, a licensed clinical mental health therapist, sits down once again with returning guest Ron Faison—a musician, community leader, and survivor of a rare form of blood cancer—for one of the most gripping testimonies we’ve ever shared. In his second appearance on the show, Ron opens up about a years-long battle with a rare blood cancer called mycosis fungoides, a condition so uncommon that most doctors initially dismissed his worsening symptoms as eczema or psoriasis. For years, he endured misdiagnoses, ineffective treatments, and physical and emotional deterioration—all while trying to hold onto his faith and sanity. But Ron’s story isn’t just about illness. It’s about persistence, divine timing, and the grace that shows up in our darkest hours. From being covered in open sores to undergoing radiation, chemotherapy, and isolation during the height of COVID, Ron recounts every detail with transparency and humility. And through it all, he maintained an unwavering belief that God had a purpose for his pain. In this episode, you’ll hear about: The early warning signs Ron experienced and how multiple doctors failed to give him an accurate diagnosis The emotional moment he was told—alone in a doctor’s office—that he had cancer Why he believes faith played a crucial role in his survival and recovery The physical toll of chemotherapy and what it felt like to have his strength—and dignity—stripped away How COVID added a new layer of fear and vulnerability to an already devastating health crisis The incredible support of his family, especially his sister DeeDee, who became a pivotal advocate in his care The role of his music community in organizing a benefit concert that reminded him he wasn’t alone His reflections on Job-like suffering, humility, and how he sees God’s hand even in delayed healing Beyond the pain and process, this conversation dives deep into the spiritual insights and mental resilience that helped Ron endure such a difficult season. He shares the profound lessons he’s learned about gratitude, perspective, and trusting God’s timeline—even when you feel forgotten. Today, Ron is back to work, active in his community, and finding new purpose in both his career and his calling. Whether it's producing concerts like Summer Jam, serving as production coordinator for The Boy Is Mine Tour, or launching events that honor Black excellence, Ron is using his second chance at life to give back in meaningful ways. Why This Episode Matters: If you or someone you love is dealing with a chronic illness, rare disease, or spiritual exhaustion, this episode is a must-listen. Ron’s story is a raw, real-life reminder that God can still move when the system fails you—and that healing doesn’t always look the way we expect. It might not be immediate. It might not be comfortable. But it can be complete. About the Host: Jessica Webb brings clinical insight and spiritual grounding to every episode.

   From Sales to Service: Myrna’s Story of Grief, Grace, and a Purpose-Driven Nursing Journey

   In this heartfelt episode of Grace Through Storms, host Jessica Webb welcomes Myrna Datilus—a dynamic woman whose story is a profound testimony of resilience, transformation, and God’s unwavering grace. From her early days in high-pressure sales to becoming a dedicated nurse and clinical unit manager, Myrna shares how grief, prayer, and purpose shaped her path and strengthened her faith. Myrna’s journey wasn’t just a career pivot—it was a divine calling. Her vibrant personality once thrived in the world of tech sales, but the lack of human connection left her unfulfilled. After a season of loss, layoffs, and soul-searching during the pandemic, Myrna surrendered her plans to God. She prayed for direction, and doors opened for her to pursue nursing—an unexpected, yet clearly ordained, next step. But the heart of this episode lies in the deeply personal story of Myrna’s beloved sister, Chelsea, who passed away at just 35 years old after a long battle with neurosarcoidosis. Myrna opens up about the guilt, grace, and spiritual revelations she experienced as she navigated grief and discovered a new layer of compassion in her professional and personal life. Chelsea, who suffered in silence yet radiated joy, was not only her sister but her inspiration—leaving behind a legacy of faith, kindness, and supernatural light. Listeners will be moved by Myrna’s candid reflections on family, trauma, purpose, and how God uses even our most painful losses to draw us into deeper calling. From tearful hospital visits to dreams that brought heavenly reassurance, Myrna’s testimony highlights the beauty of a God who sees, who heals in ways we don’t expect, and who brings light out of mourning. Myrna also shares how baking—specifically her now locally famous honey corn cake—has become a creative outlet for healing and a tribute to her sister’s memory. This act of love has blossomed into a small business and potential foundation work in Chelsea’s name, aimed at raising awareness about sarcoidosis in the Black community. If you’ve ever experienced the heaviness of grief, struggled to understand your purpose, or needed a reminder that God still speaks and heals—this episode is for you. Myrna’s story will encourage you to trust God in the unknown, embrace your calling even when it’s scary, and find grace even in your storm. In this episode, you’ll hear: How Myrna transitioned from sales to nursing through prayer and faith The impact of her sister Chelsea’s battle with neurosarcoidosis Honest conversations about grief, guilt, and healing How dreams and divine signs confirmed her sister’s peace The power of compassion in addiction care and nursing leadership Why Myrna’s grief birthed a new mission to honor her sister's legacy Mentioned in this episode: Sarcoidosis awareness in the Black community Myrna’s blog: A Colorful Dreamer Instagram: @beloved_dimples Honey Corn Cake and future plans for a grief-centered foundation We hope you’ll be encouraged, inspired, and reminded that God’s grace truly carries us through the storm.

   Unparalyzed: Nicole DuBois Shares Her Journey Through MS, Faith, and Finding Healing in God’s Grace

   In this episode of Grace Through Storms, we’re joined by the courageous and inspiring Nicole DuBois — a mother, wife, HR executive, and author of the memoir Unparalyzed, written under the pseudonym Danielle Bryan. Nicole shares her extraordinary journey through the diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis (MS), the unraveling of her marriage, and the profound spiritual awakening that helped her rediscover hope, joy, and healing through God’s grace. At the age of 35, Nicole’s life appeared picture-perfect: a thriving career, a beautiful home on City Island, and a loving son. But beneath the surface, her marriage was crumbling, and her health began to fail. What started as a strange numbness in her fingertips eventually led to a shocking diagnosis of relapsing-remitting MS. In this heartfelt conversation, Nicole walks us through the emotional rollercoaster of navigating life-altering news, her battle with fear and uncertainty, and how her faith was challenged — and ultimately strengthened. Nicole explains her decision to publish her memoir under a pseudonym, rooted in her cultural background and the value of privacy in Caribbean households. Over time, however, she’s emerged from behind the pen name, ready to own her story and share it openly in the hope of encouraging others. Unparalyzed is more than a medical journey — it’s a testimony of resilience, transformation, and the sustaining power of God’s grace. We talk about the physical symptoms of MS, including loss of sensation, hospitalizations, relapses, and ongoing treatments. Nicole discusses how she found a life-giving support system, including a neurologist who introduced her to infusion therapy, which has helped her maintain remission for several years. She also opens up about the emotional weight of being unsupported by her spouse during her illness and the healing she’s found in remarriage and motherhood. Nicole’s healing journey wasn’t just physical. Through therapy, solo travel adventures, and ultimately writing her book, she began to process deep emotional wounds and reclaim her sense of purpose. From a powerful trip to Greece to long-distance biking on her Peloton, she shares how she found balance, strength, and joy again. This episode is a testament to the truth that even in the darkest seasons, God is present. Nicole reminds us that MS — or any diagnosis — does not have to be a death sentence. Instead, it can become a call to transformation. Her story will encourage anyone facing chronic illness, personal loss, or simply needing a reminder that they are not alone. What You’ll Hear in This Episode: Nicole’s early signs and eventual diagnosis of MS The emotional impact of managing illness during a marital breakdown Why she chose to write under a pseudonym and what it meant to step out from behind it The day-to-day realities of living with MS, including flare-ups and treatment How travel, writing, and movement became part of her healing Rediscovering faith, joy, and purpose through her storm Nicole is now embracing public speaking and recently gave her first paid talk — proof that God is using her story to impact lives far beyond what she imagined.

   Faith Over Fame: Alexandria Robinson’s Journey from Scoring Points to Living with Purpose

   In this soul-stirring episode of Grace Through Storms, host Jessica Webb welcomes athlete, coach, teacher, and woman of faith Alexandria Robinson, whose journey from the basketball court to a Christ-centered life will inspire anyone navigating uncertainty, identity shifts, or spiritual surrender. Alexandria’s story begins with a childhood love for sports — from soccer to basketball — and the community that uplifted her. After her parents’ divorce and a tough move to a new town, she was cut from her school team. But a local church league welcomed her. That moment, she says, was a divine turning point: “By the grace of God,” she found her passion for basketball — and unknowingly, a foundation of grace that would carry her through years of transformation. From captaining her varsity teams at Fair Lawn and Montclair High to earning full college offers after a tough position switch from small forward to shooting guard, Alexandria reflects on the power of mentorship, preparation, and obedience. But her real story begins after graduation. While fast-tracking her master’s in taxation at the University of New Haven, she landed a prestigious internship at Deloitte — a dream job for many. But deep down, something felt off. “It was too serious. I was still playful. Still in love with basketball.” She made a bold decision: to pursue a pro basketball career overseas, not for fame, but for purpose. Her first stop? Melilla, Spain, a territory off Morocco’s coast. There, she played the game she loved, learned Spanish, endured cultural isolation, and began hearing God’s whisper more clearly. Then, everything stopped. COVID-19 hit, and Alexandria returned to the U.S. with no job, no car, and no place of her own — her dream in ruins. Emotionally and financially drained, she hit rock bottom… and that’s when God moved. In one miraculous day, she was given both a car and a job interview. It was a divine lifeline. But more importantly, it was a surrender point. “I told God, if basketball isn’t for me, I surrender. I’ll walk whatever path You have for me.” That surrender became her catalyst. Shortly after her baptism in 2021, Alexandria’s inbox lit up with overseas offers. The next day, she was offered a coaching job at a gym where she only planned to train. Within a week, she was back in the game — as both player and coach — with God’s favor unfolding in every detail. This episode dives into the tensions of surrender, the beauty of obedience, and the power of divine timing. Alexandria shares: How she navigated position changes in basketball — and life Why surrendering her relationship to God led to a godly marriage The challenge of abstaining from sex in a committed relationship — and the blessings that followed Her battle with daily weed addiction — and how God delivered her Living in a spiritual haze — and how faith brought clarity Facing a devastating Achilles tear — and knowing it was God’s call to move on Turning down 2.5x more money overseas — choosing obedience over opportunity Her work now in youth ministry, teaching, and FCA at a New Jersey middle school Alexandria’s story is one of redemption, clarity, and calling. Her faith didn’t just change her — it realigned her purpose. What began as a pursuit of scholarships and stats became a divine mission to uplift youth, speak truth, and model what it means to live surrendered and favored. Through raw honesty, heartfelt moments, and a powerful testimony, Alexandria reminds us: God doesn’t waste any part of our story — not the wins, not the losses, not the waiting. Everything is a setup for something greater. If you’ve ever struggled to let go, questioned your identity after a life change, or needed the courage to surrender your dreams, this episode is your reminder: God’s plan is always better. 👉 Don’t forget to like, share, comment, and subscribe to Grace Through Storms for more stories of transformation, resilience, and divine restoration.

    Grace in the Grind: Ankur Garg’s Unfiltered Journey Through Wealth, Loss & Leadership

    In this raw and inspiring episode of Grace Through Storms, host Jessica Webb welcomes Ankur K. Garg — a creative strategist, entrepreneur, and founder of Youngry and FlexWork Studios — for a rare, transparent conversation on the rise, fall, and redemption that shaped his life and leadership. Ankur was once riding high, co-leading a supplement company valued in the nine figures. His brand, Shredz, documented over 150,000 weight loss transformations and disrupted the health and fitness space. With equity in a booming business and confidence in spades, it seemed like nothing could go wrong. Then everything did. Ankur shares how business success slowly unraveled — trust broke down, culture turned toxic, and he made the painful decision to walk away. That moment left him not just financially bankrupt, but emotionally and spiritually shattered. Once worth over $100 million on paper, he was now in debt and questioning his worth as a man, leader, and human being. What follows is an unflinching look at the emotional terrain few talk about — grief, guilt, shame, and suicidal ideation. He describes a chilling moment when he drafted a will and calculated payouts that could “make everyone whole.” But instead of ending his story, he chose to rewrite it. Jessica and Ankur dive into themes like: The illusion of success and the danger of tying identity to achievement How early experiences — from sports to setbacks — shape future resilience The difference between being punished and being positioned by God Why self-forgiveness is the hardest grace to extend The spiritual truth that faith without works is dead — and how action can be worship Leading with compassion and using failure as a tool to uplift others Ankur shares how he created his "Z to A" method — a reverse roadmapping strategy that became more than a business tool; it became a mindset that saved his life. Through faith, discipline, and deep introspection, he began to rebuild with purpose and clarity. Despite the trauma, his entrepreneurial fire still burns. He discusses launching Grill Party BBQ, returning to the protein space, and building a new creative agency. He doesn’t sugarcoat the grind — from bootstrapping to facing past wounds — but he’s clear: his mission now is to help others avoid the pitfalls that nearly destroyed him. There’s also levity, laughter, and quirks — pink blazers, fish pedicures, and the power of storytelling. Jessica draws beautiful parallels to King David, reminding us that even those anointed for greatness endure seasons of hiddenness, heartbreak, and humble service. If you’ve ever felt broken, lost, or unsure how to begin again, this episode is your roadmap. It’s about what happens when grace meets grind, when failure becomes fuel, and when someone who lost everything finds a deeper, more lasting kind of wealth. 🎧 Listen as Ankur K. Garg shares not just what he’s been through — but who he became because of it. 👉 Don’t forget to like, comment, share, and subscribe to Grace Through Storms for more powerful stories of faith, perseverance, and purpose.

    “Lupus Didn’t Kill Me… It Brought Me Back to God.” These powerful words from today’s guest, Christa Syreeta, encapsulate a story of resilience, divine healing, and spiritual transformation. In this deeply moving episode of Grace Through Storms, host Jessica Webb, a licensed mental health therapist, welcomes her longtime friend and fellow educator to share her remarkable testimony of surviving Lupus, overcoming domestic abuse, and discovering purpose through pain. From classrooms to fitness studios, hospital beds to healing altars, Christa’s story is one of struggle and supernatural breakthrough. Diagnosed with Lupus during an emotionally and physically taxing season, Christa explains how stress, trauma, and life’s battles activated an autoimmune disorder that would change her—but not destroy her. “It was the perfect storm,” Christa shares. Years of unrecognized symptoms—fatigue, hair loss, joint pain—led to a breaking point. Emotionally drained and spiritually dry, she literally ran from everything, seeking peace, only to walk straight into a diagnosis that became her deliverance. But God. Through faith, Christa reveals that God didn’t just heal her body—He healed her soul. She opens up about the emotional toll of domestic violence, the agonizing pain of Lupus flares, and the long road to forgiveness. Each moment, though painful, pulled her closer to God. Jessica and Christa dive into faith and medicine, mental health and divine healing. They explore the importance of speaking life over your body, trusting God through suffering, and learning to listen—both to your body and to His voice. Christa’s testimony of rocking herself to sleep, crying through the night, and battling suicidal thoughts is raw and vulnerable. And yet, she heard God whisper: “Mercy said no.” This episode goes beyond Lupus—it’s about reclamation. Reclaiming identity, faith, health, and hope. Christa shares how God used her pain to turn her into an advocate, a motivator, and a voice for others. Her extreme step aerobics journey became both spiritual warfare and inspiration for others living with chronic illness. Through tears, Scripture, laughter, and even song, Christa and Jessica remind us that God has not abandoned us in the storm. In fact, the storm may be the rescue. Highlights from this episode: How stress activated Christa’s Lupus—and how she found out The emotional and spiritual impact of abuse, illness, and isolation Why surrendering to God was key to her restoration Her physical and spiritual transformation through therapy, prayer, fitness, and faith The power of speaking Scripture over your body and rejecting limitations Her upcoming “Stepping for Lupus” event with the Lupus Research Alliance A reminder that your pain can be a platform for God’s glory “I don’t look like what I’ve been through.” – Christa Sherita “God uses little people to do amazing things.” – Jessica Webb If you’re battling chronic illness, emotional trauma, or questioning where God is in your pain—this episode is for you. Christa’s story will challenge your faith, stir your soul, and remind you that healing is possible—even if the storm never fully passes.

    From Trauma to Testimony: My Son’s Motorcycle Crash, Miraculous Survival, and Journey Back to God

    In this deeply moving episode of Grace Through Storms, host Jessica Webb welcomes not just any guest—but someone closest to her heart: her eldest son, Jayden. With raw honesty and vulnerability, this mother-son duo shares a life-altering story of pain, grace, and the miraculous hand of God. From a young age, Jayden was drawn to motorcycles, nurturing a passion that began with dirt bikes and, at 19, led him to buy his first crotch rocket. Despite Jessica’s prayers and warnings, Jayden pursued what he believed was freedom and independence. But that dream soon turned into a nightmare. In a heart-stopping moment, Jayden was struck by a large truck while riding. The crash was so severe, police initially believed he had died. With both arms shattered, a metal rod driven through his knee, and multiple surgeries ahead, his physical injuries were only part of the story. What unfolded next was nothing short of miraculous. Jessica recalls being prompted by the Holy Spirit to pray specifically for her children just hours before the accident. It’s a moment she reflects on with tears—a chilling but faith-affirming confirmation of divine intervention. Meanwhile, Jayden, who had become distant from his faith, shares how the accident became a pivotal spiritual awakening. As his body lay broken, his spirit began to awaken. Jayden opens up about the mental and emotional toll of recovery—months of depression, pain, and isolation—and the quiet but powerful ways God began speaking to him. He describes how God’s voice, once silent to him, became clearer and transformational. From being unable to do a single push-up due to plates and screws in his arms to miraculously passing the correctional officer physical exam after prayer and anointing, Jayden’s story is a living testimony of God’s healing and purpose. Together, Jessica and Jayden talk about divine warnings, obedience, physical rehabilitation, and the gritty moments of healing—including Jessica bathing her adult son when he was completely incapacitated. Through it all, Jayden never lost his humor or his faith. In fact, it was in the midst of suffering that his purpose was revealed. The episode also emphasizes the importance of cultivating a relationship with God before the storm hits. Jayden admits that if he had been in tune with God sooner, he may have heard the many warning signs—friends in accidents, tragic losses, near-misses. But God, in His mercy, used what was meant for harm to align, correct, and restore him. Jessica’s unwavering faith and transparency shine as she recounts how she prayed, cried, doubted, and surrendered. Her journey as a praying mother is one of fierce love and humble trust in God’s perfect timing—even through trauma. If you’ve ever questioned why God allows storms… wondered whether prayer really works… or if you’re a parent watching your child make dangerous choices… this episode is for you. It’s a raw, faith-filled conversation about redemption, resilience, and the radical grace of God. Through tears, laughter, and testimony, Jessica and Jayden remind us that God is near—even in the valley. He still speaks. He still heals. And sometimes, the very storm we fear is the one that brings us home to Him. Key Themes Explored: The emotional and physical toll of traumatic injury Hearing God’s voice before, during, and after crisis A young man’s spiritual awakening A mother’s intercession and persistent faith Recovery, resilience, and divine purpose The power of prayer and anointing Encouragement for families navigating hard seasons How God redeems broken paths If this episode blessed you, we invite you to like, share, and subscribe to Grace Through Storms.

    Show Up Before You Show Up: Becoming Whole in God Before Marriage, Love, and Lifelong Partnership

    In this deeply moving and revelatory episode of Grace Through Storms, host Jessica Webb welcomes Angelica Eason White—a licensed professional counselor, relationship coach, and dynamic woman of faith—who shares how God planted the seed for her powerful ministry: Navigating Your Divine Waiting Season. Born from a Holy Spirit encounter during worship, Angelica’s ministry is rooted in her personal journey as a woman once unsure of her worth, marriage potential, and divine identity. She didn’t grow up with the best examples of love—and God used that gap to build a vision. This episode dives into identity, discernment, and spiritual preparation for women seeking marriage—and why your relationship with God must come first. Jessica and Angelica explore how many women chase relationships for validation, often placing romance on a pedestal, only to end up disconnected from themselves and from God. "When you are desiring to be in a relationship, sometimes that person becomes your idol.” – Jessica Webb They unpack how to break that cycle through intimacy with the Father, solitude, and surrendering to God’s process—even when it’s uncomfortable. From group sessions to real-life testimonies, Angelica explains the mission of her ministry: to help women know their “why” before stepping into covenant. She emphasizes that God does not call women to wait in vain, but to wait with purpose—ensuring they’re not attaching prematurely to someone who isn’t spiritually aligned. "God didn’t just create marriage—He created you first, with purpose.” They tackle timely topics like: Love bombing, narcissism and emotional manipulation in dating How discernment flows from communion with God The deception of people who “look the part” but aren’t sent by God Fasting, prayer and intercession as tools of spiritual warfare Why healing and self-knowledge matter more than “finding the one” Angelica shares how obedience led her to offer this ministry pro bono—starting as a way to serve and spiritually blueprint the work—while preparing to expand into deeper levels of coaching. Jessica recalls her first session, when she didn’t even desire marriage, and how the spiritual environment changed her mindset. They also discuss Angelica’s marriage to a Muslim man and how love, respect, and unapologetic Christian identity allow them to thrive without compromise. "It’s not about forcing someone into your faith—it’s about them seeing the God in you.” Through transparency and humility, Angelica explains how her faith guides her role as a wife—anchored in prayer, fasting, and accountability to God first. Throughout the episode, both women offer gems of wisdom—from redefining self-care beyond the salon to viewing solitude as sacred time with God. Jessica shares a metaphor about a damaged tree with deep roots, reminding us that what appears broken can still thrive if rooted in Him. Key Takeaways: Wait with purpose, not pressure Your love cannot fix someone—only God’s love transforms You don’t need a title to intercede—just surrender Discernment is a fruit of intimacy with God The love of God must come before any romantic love Whether you’re a woman in waiting, a wife seeking spiritual renewal, or healing from relational wounds, this episode will bless and challenge you. Angelica’s ministry isn’t about promoting marriage as the goal—it’s about becoming whole and aligned with God’s will. Ready to step into your divine waiting season—or redefine it with God at the center? This episode will stir your spirit and shift your mindset.

    Called, Covered, and Commissioned: Walking Boldly in God’s Purpose with Pastor Willie Washington

    In this heartfelt and prophetic episode of Grace Through Storms, host Jessica Webb welcomes her longtime spiritual mentor, Pastor Willie Washington Jr., for a deeply moving conversation about surrender, calling, and walking boldly in the divine path God has laid before you. Pastor Washington, Senior Pastor and Founder of Word of Life Christian Fellowship International, shares his journey of faith—from his humble beginnings in the rural South, to an unexpected move to New Jersey, and ultimately, to becoming a spiritual leader and prophet. He tells the story of how God called him, trained him through the Holy Spirit (without formal theological education), and tested his obedience at every step. From the burning of his first church building just two weeks after launching, to miraculous relocations and divine provisions, Pastor Washington’s testimony is a masterclass in trusting God’s voice over everything else. This episode is for anyone who has ever asked, “Am I really called?” or “Can God still use me despite where I’ve been?” Jessica and Pastor Washington explore themes of spiritual identity, overcoming the noise of doubt and criticism, and learning how to follow God’s promptings with confidence. Jessica opens up about her own season of hiding, spiritual isolation, and the internal wrestle with stepping fully into her purpose—ultimately revealing that she, too, has been called to walk in the prophetic. Key highlights include: Pastor Washington’s revelation that you don’t need credentials to be qualified—only God’s anointing How to discern God’s call through dreams, divine encounters, and inner confirmation What to do when others dismiss your calling or question your faith Why obedience opens doors that education, titles, or effort never could The power of speaking God’s Word out loud over your life Letting go of fear, shame, and the past to embrace your God-ordained future In a powerful and emotional exchange, Pastor Washington prophetically affirms Jessica’s identity and calling, offering both comfort and challenge. “When God says step, start stepping,” he says—echoing the episode’s central truth: you may not feel ready, but obedience is what unlocks the next move. Jessica shares her own war-room moment in prayer, testifying to the immediate breakthrough that followed. The message is clear: God is still speaking, still moving, and still calling people—right now—to step out of hiding and into purpose. This episode isn’t just encouragement—it’s activation. Whether you’re navigating uncertainty, battling imposter syndrome, or questioning whether God can still use you, this conversation will stir your spirit, settle your doubts, and shift your perspective. You don’t need a title to be chosen. You don’t need a stage to be anointed. You just need to say “yes.” Subscribe to Grace Through Storms and share this episode with someone who’s been waiting on a sign to move forward. This might be the word they’ve been praying for.

    Breaking Cycles: From Abandonment to Healing, Faith & Fitness with Luis Guzman

    Breaking Cycles – Luis Guzman’s Journey from Abandonment to Healing and Redemption In this powerful premiere episode of Grace Through Storms, host Jessica Webb welcomes entrepreneur, podcaster, and speaker Luis Guzman for a raw, deeply personal conversation about father wounds, addiction, trauma, and the long road to emotional and spiritual healing. Luis, host of I’m an Artist, Not a Salesman, opens up about his childhood growing up in Newark, New Jersey, in a single-parent home after being abandoned by his father at a young age. He paints a vivid picture of the day his father walked out—a moment that became the root of years of unprocessed pain, masked by achievement, addiction, and toxic relationships. Raised by a fiercely loving but overwhelmed Puerto Rican mother, Luis internalized the trauma of being left behind, carrying emotional wounds that influenced every area of his adult life. Throughout the episode, Luis and Jessica dig deep into the legacy of generational trauma. Luis shares how the same abandonment he experienced had also shaped his father—who was rejected by his father in an eerily similar way. It’s a cycle that, for decades, defined the men in his family. But Luis made a courageous decision: to be the one who breaks it. This episode unpacks the many ways unresolved trauma can show up—through addictions to alcohol, marijuana, toxic romantic patterns, and even food. Luis speaks candidly about reaching 330 pounds, using overeating as emotional comfort, and falling into a spiral of unhealthy habits masked by outward success. Despite working hard and appearing put-together, Luis confesses that inside, he was broken and hurting, operating from ego, fear, and deep insecurity. But grace found him. Luis shares how therapy—especially one rainy, life-altering session—opened the door to healing. With honesty and humility, he recalls the moment he realized his need to grieve, forgive, and face the emotional wounds he had carried since childhood. He breaks down the tools that helped him transform his life: therapy, accountability, spiritual growth, and discipline. He talks about losing over 100 pounds through fasting, prayer, early morning workouts, and completely restructuring his approach to health and wellness—physically and spiritually. Jessica and Luis also examine the role of faith in healing trauma. They talk about God’s pruning process, the power of isolation, and how grace often meets us when we feel the most discarded. Luis reflects on how God used his wife, his therapist, and his own inner resolve to guide him from survival into wholeness. This isn’t just a story of personal transformation—it’s a blueprint for anyone who’s felt stuck, abandoned, or ashamed of their past. It’s a call to examine what you’ve inherited, challenge what you’ve normalized, and trust that healing is not only possible—it’s promised. By the end of the conversation, Luis reminds listeners that cycles can be broken, lives can be rewritten, and God can turn even the most painful stories into testimonies of strength and redemption. His journey is a testament to the truth that we are not bound by where we come from—but rather, empowered by where God is taking us. If you’ve struggled with parental wounds, addiction, or emotional numbness, this episode will meet you right where you are. It’s a deeply moving, grace-filled invitation to begin your own healing journey—one step, one prayer, one honest moment at a time. Don’t forget to subscribe to Grace Through Storms and share this episode with someone who needs a reminder that healing is real, and grace is always within reach.
