Our featured guests share how they stepped out of dark places in life or made simple pivots toward purpose to become UNBOXED. We explore experiences that lead to the fulfillment of God-gifted purpose. My prayer is that each episode will help you access your authentic destiny.

Today’s guest is Pastor Henry Nwaneri—pastor, businessman, prophetic teacher, itinerant preacher, author, entrepreneur, and spiritual mentor. Currently residing in Canada, he is dedicated to empowering believers to achieve spiritual victory, emotional wholeness, and divine purpose.

In this episode, Pastor Henry opens up about his early years, from breakdancing competitions to giving his life to Christ at age 10, and how his journey of setbacks, pivots, and faith led him to his calling. He reminds us that procrastination keeps us caged in excuses, while God’s timing and guidance will always lead us to breakthrough.

🔥 Key Themes in this Episode:

• Stepping out of the “comfortable box” of procrastination
• Learning from failure and trusting God’s timing
• Balancing pastoral ministry and business with purpose
• Dreams that inspire divine action
• Wisdom for future generations: “No more postponements—step up now!”

📖 Pastor Henry encourages us to stop procrastinating, embrace God’s process, and allow Him to explode us into purpose.

✨ Let the rod and staff of God bring you joy in your situation. Stop procrastination and be marinated for holy juiciness—God will break protocol for your breakthrough!

🎙 UNBOXED on Purpose – From Blunder to Blessing with Jan D. Thomas

In this inspiring episode, we welcome Jan D. Thomas from Las Cruces, New Mexico — a retired prison warden, pastor, published author, poet, and artist whose 85 years of life are filled with remarkable service and creativity.

Jan shares his journey From Blunder to Blessing, drawing from decades of experience in prison ministry, Celebrate Recovery programs, and outreach to the homeless and migrants. He’s the author of multiple books, including From Blunder to Blessing, How to Say What You Mean Without Being Mean, and the Mesilla Traveler series, and co-author of Suppose Trees Could Talk. His writing is rooted in honesty, lessons learned from mistakes, and a deep commitment to valuing people.

From working his way up in the penitentiary system to leading with compassion, Jan reminds us that if people don’t matter, then God doesn’t matter. He reflects on how God uses both our failures and successes to reach others — and how our creative gifts can serve as tools for ministry.

💡 Key Takeaway: Life’s blunders can become blessings when we let God use them for His glory.

🚖 Backseat Blessings | UNBOXED on Purpose Episode 89 Featuring Holly Moore  

In this powerful episode of UNBOXED on Purpose, Holly Moore shares her remarkable journey from childhood dreams in Pennsylvania to finding her purpose behind the wheel of a taxi in Florida. Once aspiring to be a lawyer and always passionate about writing, Holly's path took unexpected turns—leaving behind a prestigious career and stepping out on a blind faith journey that led her straight into divine alignment.

Raised by a values-driven grandmother and inspired by her Uncle Dave’s call to surrender to Jesus, Holly opens up about her transformation from religious routine to Kingdom revelation. Today, she sees miracles, signs, and wonders unfold in the backseat of her taxi—where passengers become divine appointments.

Holly reflects on identity, boundaries, and her God-given mission to help others, including those reentering society from prison. She shares how her childhood passions for justice and programming evolved into a calling that merges transportation, ministry, and restoration.

🔥 Key Highlights:

·    Discovering identity in God, not in titles

·    Walking away from comfort into calling

·    Ministering in motion—faith on four wheels

·    Setting healthy boundaries and knowing your worth

·    Seeing life through the lens of Deborah and Ruth

·    Helping others rebuild life after incarceration

💡 “Don't let the opinions of others keep you stuck in a box.” — Holly Moore

🎧 Tune in to hear how this modern-day Deborah turned her taxi into a mobile ministry—and why trusting God’s timing changes everything.
