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.
