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.

Grace Through Storms is here to remind you:
You are seen. You are called. And God’s grace is always enough.

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.”

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.
