What does it look like to walk by faith, not by sight, in the middle of law school, career setbacks, and unexpected blessings? In this episode of Grace Through Storms, Jessica Webb sits down with Tobi Adedokun—a young African-American attorney and licensed NBA agent—for an honest, grounded, and deeply inspiring conversation about calling, identity, and grit.

From nearly getting kicked out of law school to failing the bar exam by one point, Tobi’s journey is a powerful testimony about how faith, discipline, and perseverance can move mountains. He walks us through the pivotal moments that shaped him—not just as a lawyer, but as a man of God—offering a perspective that’s both relatable and rare.

Whether you’re in law school, chasing a career that feels bigger than you, or just wondering how to hold onto purpose through disappointment, this episode is for you.

Tobi opens up about:

• Why he originally pursued law for the wrong reasons—and how purpose found him anyway

• Almost flunking out of school and how that wake-up call changed everything

• Failing the bar by a single point and the spiritual lessons that followed

• Navigating courtrooms as a young Black attorney and breaking stereotypes daily

• Losing a job right before Christmas and the unexpected doors that opened afterward

• Why becoming an NBA agent wasn’t just a career move—it was a faith walk

• How fasting, prayer, and mentorship played critical roles in each chapter

Throughout the episode, Jessica and Tobi reflect on the difference between a career path and a calling, diving into how our lowest moments often become our greatest testimonies. Tobi shares stories of networking without connections, investing in himself when nothing was guaranteed, and staying planted in faith even when the outcome looked uncertain.

We also explore what it’s like to build a professional identity in industries that don’t always make room for you—and how mentorship, persistence, and God’s timing create a path even when there seems to be none. Tobi's experience as both a legal professional and a certified NBA agent gives this conversation a unique, refreshing edge you won't hear anywhere else.

Key moments include:

• The impact of mentorship from Black judges and the pressure of representation in court

• How his mother's faith and wisdom helped him see failure differently

• The divine encounter that led to meeting NBA champion Mike Miller and getting his foot in the door as an agent

• Learning to lean on God and put in the hard work, even when the odds don’t make sense

• The importance of showing up—whether it’s at court, summer league, or a Bible study with potential clients

If you've ever questioned your calling, felt delayed in your purpose, or needed a reminder that faith and work go hand in hand, this is the story you need to hear.

Meet the Host:
Jessica Webb is a licensed clinical mental health therapist and the voice behind Grace Through Storms, a podcast centered on real testimonies of faith, growth, and breakthrough. Her approach is warm, honest, and rooted in a desire to amplify stories that remind us of God's power in everyday life.

Listen to this episode if you're:

• A law student or new attorney looking for inspiration

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

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.

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.

“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.

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.

• The emotional and physical toll of traumatic injury

"Your storm might not destroy you—it might just save you."

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. Jessica and Angelica deliver truth with compassion and lived experience.
