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.

It might not be comfortable. But it can be complete.

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.
