From Creepin 2 Preachin

Thanks so much and let’s keep this conversation going Our journey through Rome and Greece became more than a vacation--it was powerful spiritual journey walking with Jesus.  As we explored these historic, biblical lands, we felt deeply connected to the places where faith was built, disciples were formed, and the Gospel began to spread across the world.Sometimes, God will call you to a place for a divine purpose.  It's not always about travel--it's about transformation.  During our time in Rome and Greece, God revealed things to us that shifted our perspective, strengthened our faith, and guided us toward a new beginning filled with purpose and clarity.  This experience reminded us that when God shows you something, it's meant to elevate your life and align you with His greater plan.Our journey also reinforced the importance of spreading the Gospel and making disciples, just as Jesus taught us.  We are called to share our testimonies, to speak truth, and to help others grow in their faith walk.  This was not just a trip--it was a faith-based transformation, a reminder that when you follow God's lead, He will take you exactly where you need to be.Have you ever felt God calling you to place for a reason? Did it shift our life or strengthen your spiritual walk?

Thanks so much and let’s keep this conversation going Step into a powerful and faith-filled journey as we explore the sacred waters of the Mediterranean Sea--a place where God's miracles were not just written about, but felt, seen, and lived.  In this deeply moving episode, I share how walking in the same regions where Jesus Christ performed miracles transformed the way my husband and I see God's purpose for our lives.From the stories of faith, healing, and obedience that unfolded along these waters, to the quiet moments where we felt God speaking directly to our hearts--this journey wasn't just travel, it was a spiritual awakening.  It shifted our perspective strengthened our faith, and reminded us that God is still calling us to deeper places, both physically and spiritually.This experience opened our eyes to what God has planned for us, and how stepping out in faith can lead to life-changing encounters.Now I want to hear from you: Has God ever placed a destination on your heart? Did you feel called to go somewhere for a reason bigger than yourself? And most importantly--did you answer that call?#MediterraneanSea#FaithJourney#SpiritualAwakening#GodsPlan#ChristianPodcast#WalkByFaith#PurposeDrivenLifeSupport the showwww.creepin2preachin.combuzzsprout.comApple PodcastiHeartSocial Media:Facebook: Renee R White/Creepin2PreachinInstagram: movinginmotionYoutube

Thanks so much and let’s keep this conversation going In this powerful episode of the From Creepin 2 Preachin Podcast, I share a life-changing moment when God interrupted my entire routine and shut everything down so I could finally hear His voice.  If you know me, you know I love to talk and I'm loud--but during this session, God spiritually silenced me.  He closed my mouth so I could sit still, listen, and receive revelation about my present life, my purpose, and my future assignment.During this quiet season, God began to reveal things to me that I could not hear while I was constantly moving and speaking.  At the same time, God was also working on my husband, showing us both that sometimes our spiritual growth requires stillness, patience, obedience, and surrender to God's plan.Sometimes God will interrupt your normal routine, remove distractions, and place you in a quiet season so you can hear Him clearly.  That moment of silence may feel uncomfortable, but it can become one of the most powerful spiritual awakenings of your life.Listeners, has God ever shut everything down in you life so you could hear Him? Have you ever experienced a moment where God forced you to sit still so He could speak into your purpose?I  would love to hear your testimony and your story.#HearingGod#SpiritualAwakening#FaithPodcast#ChristianPodcast#TrustGod#FaithJourney#PurposeDrivenLife#DivineIntervention#Christian Encouragements#FromCreepin2PreachinSupport the showwww.creepin2preachin.combuzzsprout.comApple PodcastiHeartSocial Media:Facebook: Renee R White/Creepin2PreachinInstagram: movinginmotionYoutube

Thanks so much and let’s keep this conversation going In this powerful episode of From Creepin 2 Preachin podcast.  I shared how a life-changing mission trip to Peru transformed my husband's vision on life.  Serving through ministry and using his camera lens as a photojournalist, he captured unforgettable moments of faith, communion, worship, and the daily lives of people who were truly blessed with less.  Later, his journey continued in Ukraine, documenting how the gospel was shared and how communities worshiped God with deep gratitude despite limited resources.Through his photography and personal experiences, God opened his eyes to the emotions, resilience, and faith of people around the world.  Those moments behind the lens didn't just change him-they also changed me.   It reminded us how easy it is to take our blessings for granted here at home.This episode is about faith, gratitude, perspective, and seeking God move through the lives of others across the world.  Sometimes it takes stepping outside of our comfort zone to truly understand how blessed we are.Listeners: Has traveling or witnessing another culture ever changed your perspective on life and gratitude?

Thanks so much and let’s keep this conversation going There was a season when I had to wait on God for my next assignment.  I took class after class, I served faithfully, I showed up--but something still wasn't fulfilled.  My spirit was hungry.  Not for more activity, but for more purpose.One day a minister looked at me and asked, "What are you waiting for?  Why aren't you a minister yet?" I didn't have an answer--but I felt the weight of her words.A few days later, while I was at work, my spiritual teacher walked in and simple said, "Good morning, Minister."That was my confirmation.See, God doesn't always shout.  Sometimes He confirms in whispers.  Sometimes He answers while you're just doing life.  God works in silence--and when the timing is right, everything becomes clear.Have you ever felt like God was preparing you quietly for something you didn't even know you were ready for? Support the showwww.creepin2preachin.combuzzsprout.comApple PodcastiHeartSocial Media:Facebook: Renee R White/Creepin2PreachinInstagram: movinginmotionYoutube

Thanks so much and let’s keep this conversation going Look but Don't Touch is the moment we made a hard but holy decision.  We chose to stop all physical contact and truly serve the Lord with our whole hearts.  It wasn't easy, but it was necessary.  We committed ourselves to walking in obedience, got baptized, and rededicated our lives back to God.  Deep in my spirit, I knew it was the right choice--because I could hear my granny's voice reminding me to do what was right, even when it's hard.  That decision changed us.  It strengthened our faith, our discipline, and our purpose.I want to know-have you ever been in a situation where you had to choose God over your flesh?

Thanks so much and let’s keep this conversation going I had to pump the brakes when it came to intimacy.  For the first time in my life, I chose not to rush, not to fill a void, and not to confuse attention with connection.  I realized I didn't even know the person yet--and more importantly, I was still getting to know me.  So I made a decision to guard my heart, slow my pace, and stop crossing bridges before I understood where they led.  This time, I chose clarity over comfort, patience over impulse, and self-respect over old habits. Listeners questions for you to think about:  "Have you ever had to pump the brakes on intimacy because you realized you didn't really know the person--or yourself yet?" or  "Has there ever been moment in your life when slowing down and guarding your heart became an act of self-love?"Support the showwww.creepin2preachin.combuzzsprout.comApple PodcastiHeartSocial Media:Facebook: Renee R White/Creepin2PreachinInstagram: movinginmotionYoutube

Thanks so much and let’s keep this conversation going In this episode, I open up about one of the hardest financial blows I've ever faced.  After my divorce, he stayed in the very home I purchased with my inheritance--my mother's legacy, my hard work, my stability.  And instead of doing the right thing, he chose not to pay the mortgage, not to pay a single bill, and simply squat while I tried to figure out my next move.  I was left carrying the weight of decisions I didn't make, watching my credit, my peace, and my stability slip through my fingers.  My only option was to file for bankruptcy--something that crushed me, knowing how hard I worked to build myself up.  It hurt.  It changed everything.  And the truth is, he didn't care.  But I had to care...because it was my life on the line.Listeners, have you ever found yourself in a situation where someone else's choices forced you into a corner?

Thanks so much and let’s keep this conversation going My mom loved the open road--North, South, it didn't matter.  She didn't need a map because she was the map.  No GPS, no Google directions, just her instincts and confidence.  She'd always remind me, "Know where you are, because getting lost isn't an option."Her favorite time to drive was at night.  She'd pile all four of us into the car, roll the windows down, and hit the highway.  You'd hear her say, "Let's go before Smokey Bear get out here," talking about the highway patrol, and we'd all laugh.  Those drives weren't just road trips--they were life lessons.  She taught me independence, awareness, and the beauty of the journey itself.Even now, I still prefer driving at night when I travel.  There's something peaceful about the open road, the hum of the tires, and the memories of her voice guiding me.Have you ever traveled like that--without a map, just trusting yourself to find the way?

Thanks so much and let’s keep this conversation going In this heartfelt episode, I share the story of Grey Ghost, our beloved cat, and Sally, our big but lovable Rottweiler.  These two pets were more than animals-they were family.  After a fight with some alley cats, Sally passed away, and just days later, Grey Ghost followed.  Their loss left my mother devastated and taught us all deep lessons about love, loyalty, and grief.Have you ever experienced the heartbreak of losing a pet that felt like family? If so, I'd love to hear from you.Support the showwww.creepin2preachin.combuzzsprout.comApple PodcastiHeartSocial Media:Facebook: Renee R White/Creepin2PreachinInstagram: movinginmotionYoutube

Thanks so much and let’s keep this conversation going We had the fun house on the block--the spot where all the kids loved to gather and hang out.  But the moment Ma came home, the porch cleared in seconds.  Everyone knew to scatter until she had her quiet time to herself.  Once she settled and ready, that's when we could ask her questions and share stories about our day at school--but never before.  Respecting here quiet time was the run we all lived by.Support the showwww.creepin2preachin.combuzzsprout.comApple PodcastiHeartSocial Media:Facebook: Renee R White/Creepin2PreachinInstagram: movinginmotionYoutube

Thanks so much and let’s keep this conversation going By day, I was a cheerleader--full of spirit, routines, and discipline.  By night, I was in love with the GoGo.  That rhythm, that sound, it pulled me in and shaped me in ways I still carry today.  At home, discipline often came with the belt, teaching me tough lessons about choices and consequences.  But I when my sister said we were going to the GoGo, I followed without question--because every word she spoke was law to me.  Those days of cheer and those nights of GoGo molded the woman the woman I am now, blending discipline with rhythm, order with freedom, and lessons that still guide me every single day.Support the showwww.creepin2preachin.combuzzsprout.comApple PodcastiHeartSocial Media:Facebook: Renee R White/Creepin2PreachinInstagram: movinginmotionYoutube

Thanks so much and let’s keep this conversation going Back in the day, almost every little girl I knew--my cousins, friends, everybody--already had their ears pierced.  And let me tell you, this wasn't no trip to Claire's I the mall.  Nope.  It was a needle, some alcohol, and your mama holding you still.  I remember sitting there wanting to look just as cute as everybody else, begging Ma to let me get mine done.  For the longest time, she wouldn't she know I scared I was of needles.  I watched everybody else walk around with their little gold studs in and I was the only one with bare ears.Then one day...Ma finally said, "come on." She pulled out that needle and that alcohol, and I swore she was trying to kill me.  I screamed like somebody was tearing me apart! She got one ear done and then pressed on and did the other.  It was horrifying--but after all that pain, I felt pretty and proud.  To this day though...I only have one piercing.  Support the showwww.creepin2preachin.combuzzsprout.comApple PodcastiHeartSocial Media:Facebook: Renee R White/Creepin2PreachinInstagram: movinginmotionYoutube

Thanks so much and let’s keep this conversation going Let me take y'll back to those Easter mornings...when the straightening comb came out before the church shoes ever did.  I used to hate that hot comb--I'd sit there crying and thinking Ma was burning the back of my neck on purpose.  And if Ma didn't feel like dealing with us, she'd send us straight to Ms. Barbara--the neighborhood hairdresser with that little booster seat and even less patience.  She made sure ever single curl was tight and every kitchen was laid!But as much as I cried back then, I look back now and love those memories.  They taught us confidence, pride in how we showed up, and most of all-they showed us love.Do you remember those hot comb days? Did your mama or neighborhood hairdresser have you crying before church too? And now you look back...do you smile at those memories the same way I do?Support the showwww.creepin2preachin.combuzzsprout.comApple PodcastiHeartSocial Media:Facebook: Renee R White/Creepin2PreachinInstagram: movinginmotionYoutube

Thanks so much and let’s keep this conversation going When she left...it was like somebody took a pair of scissors and cut an invisible umbilical cord that I had been holding me together my whole life.  And just like that...I was out here...in this cold, cold, world...with no one who really knew me, no one who really love me the way she did.You see, when you lose someone like that--someone who was your safe place, your security blanket, your everything--you don't just lost a person..you lost the version of yourself that existed when they were here.  I kept asking myself...how do I go on now? How do I take another step when the one person made this world feel bearable and made it make sense is gone?I want to ask you...when you went through your loss, how did you do it? Did you seek therapy? Did you join a support group? Did you turn to your faith? Or...are you like me sometimes...still walking through the days with that quiet ache, trying to figure it out?Because the truth is...I'm still learning how to live without her.  Some days, I'm strong. Other days, I'm right in that moment...feeling that cold wind hit me...wishing I could just hear her voice one more time.So tell me...how did you go on?

Thanks so much and let’s keep this conversation going You know, after my mom left this world...I unplugged from life.  Completely.  Nothing felt good anymore--not the things that used to make me smile, not the things that used to give me peace.  I didn't know how to be a mom anymore, how to be a wife, or even a good friend.  Everything felt off key...off balance...like my life had lost its rhythm and I couldn't find my way back to the melody.I went through the motions, but my heart wasn't in it.  It was like the light had gone out inside me, and I didn't know how to turn it back on.Have you ever been there? Where life just doesn't make sense anymore? Where the things you used to love don't feel the same? If you have..how did you get over it?

Thanks so much and let’s keep this conversation going These upcoming episodes are deeply personal to me.  They're dedicated to my mom--my rock, my safe place, my security blanket.  When she left me, it felt like the ground beneath my feet was gone.  Life didn't feel the same, and part of me felt lost forever.Have you ever had someone in your life who was your everything--your anchor--and then they were gone?

Thanks so much and let’s keep this conversation going Listeners, let me be honest with you--yes, I went back and married the same man again.  After everything we'd been through the first time, we found ourselves standing in front of that justice of peace again.  My heart was hopeful, thinking maybe this time would be different.  My mom? She didn't want me to do it.  She gave me that look only a mother can give---the one filled with wisdom, concern, and love.  She warned me.  But I didn't listen.I ignored every red flag waving right in front of me.  I silenced the doubts; pushed aside warning signs, and followed what I wanted to feel instead of what I needed to see.  Sometimes, we convince ourselves that love can fix what time, truth, and reality already exposed.Have you ever gone back, hoping things would be different the second time?

Thanks so much and let’s keep this conversation going Let me tell y'all something--going back wasn't easy, but it was familiar.  Comfortable in an uncomfortable kind of way.  We still laughed, we still had fun, and we even moved in together on Colorado Avenue NW.  But to be real, that place was a dump.  I knew deep down it wasn't where we were meant to be.  So I made a move and got us a place down at 325 P Street SW somewhere we could all live together, including my son.  That's when things started to feel a little more like home again.  Listeners, have you ever gone back to something that felt familiar--even if you knew deep down it wasn't right--just because it was easier than starting over?  What did you do when comfort started feeling uncomfortable?  I'd love to hear from you--email me and let's talk about it.Support the showwww.creepin2preachin.combuzzsprout.comApple PodcastiHeartSocial Media:Facebook: Renee R White/Creepin2PreachinInstagram: movinginmotionYoutube

Thanks so much and let’s keep this conversation going Listeners, have you ever ignored your gut, stayed too long, made excuses---only to find out you were right all along?

Thanks so much and let’s keep this conversation going Let me ask y'all something---have you ever put a wrecking ball to your own life?  Because I did.  I shut down my feelings, shut down my affection, and started nitpicking, picking cat fights over nothing.  Just because I didn't understand this peace I had in the relationship.  And honestly, maybe deep down...I was addicted to chaos.Have you ever found yourself there?

Thanks so much and let’s keep this conversation going This week, I'm pulling back the curtain on a chapter of my life that tested every ounce of my strength.  I was deep in the trenches of hard, grueling training---far from home, missing my son, and questioning if I could really make it through.  I wanted to quit.  I wanted to run home where it was safe and familiar.  But my mom gave me some tough love:  "Don't come back without a JOB."  So I had a choice-break down or break through.  Tune in to hear how I learned to suck it up, push past the homesickness, face adversity head-on, and come out the other side with a solid career, good benefits, and a retirement plan that made every tear worth it.  Have you ever wanted to quit but heard that one voice that pushed you to keep going?  Let's talk about it.Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcast, iHeart and YouTube.  Don't forget to subscribe and grab a copy of my book From Creepin 2 Preachin--proceeds go to support our nonprofit for teens in DC!Support the showwww.creepin2preachin.combuzzsprout.comApple PodcastiHeartSocial Media:Facebook: Renee R White/Creepin2PreachinInstagram: movinginmotionYoutube

Thanks so much and let’s keep this conversation going Listeners, I want to take a moment and be real with you about turning 30.  It wasn't just a birthday--it felt like a crossroads.  I didn't want to let go of my twenties.  I wasn't ready.  I had tears not just because another years had passed, but because I felt like I was losing a part of myself--my youth, my wildness, my freedom.  There was so much uncertainly ahead, and I feared.  Fear of what was next.  Fear of making the wrong choices.  Fear that maybe I hadn't accomplished what I thought I should have by now.  My twenties were messy, but they were mine.  And stepping into this new chapter felt like walking into the unknown without a map.  Have you ever felt like that-caught between who you were and who you're becoming?  What did that moment look like for you? Support the showwww.creepin2preachin.combuzzsprout.comApple PodcastiHeartSocial Media:Facebook: Renee R White/Creepin2PreachinInstagram: movinginmotionYoutube
