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.”
