UNBOXED on Purpose

UNBOXED on Purpose Episode 105 @favoredbythefatherministries 

🎉 2-Year Anniversary Special | UNBOXED on Purpose: THE POWER OF CONSISTENCY

Description: We are emerging from darkness and fluttering freely because of God teaching the power of consistency. 

On January 18, 2023, this podcast began with a single idea—Unboxed. Two years later, UNBOXED on Purpose celebrates a global journey of courage, testimony, and breakthrough.

What started as a platform to share books became a sanctuary for transformation featuring guests who stepped out of comfort zones, dark places, and boxes of confinement to pursue their God-gifted purpose.

In this special anniversary episode, Rev. Dr. Barbara A. F. Brehon reflects on:

✅ The original vision and unexpected shift

✅ How the title changed and why it mattered

✅ The global impact of consecutive weekly releases

✅ The role this podcast played in her own emergence from darkness

✅ What’s next in this new season with the ministry expanding

Featuring a special appearance from the Chief Administrative Officer, Dr. Kimberly Holmes, this episode honors every listener, every guest, every story, and every step of obedience.

If you have ever felt boxed in, this episode is your reminder:

Boxes are temporary. Purpose is permanent.

🎧 Listen. Share. Unbox your purpose.

YouTube: UNBOXED on Purpose | Episode 103 Featuring Ashley Mankanya @favoredbythefatherministries

NOT AS MAN SEES

Host: Barbara A. F. Brehon

Welcome to UNBOXED on Purpose — where faith, life, and leadership meet real conversation. In this New Year’s Day episode, we welcome Ashley Mankanya, a business client specialist in banking from the United Kingdom, originally from Zimbabwe — the “Glorious Land” that hosts one of the seven natural wonders of the world.

Ashley shares a powerful reflection on 1 Samuel 16:7 “For the Lord does not see as man sees.”

He reminds us that while the world is consumed by outward appearance and status, God looks deeper — into the heart.

In this episode, we explore:

✨ Lessons from his grandparents’ faith legacy

⚽ How football (soccer) instilled spiritual discipline

💼 What happens when you bring faith into your work life

🧠 A mindset shift from impressing people to pleasing God

💡 Why true success is measured by internal richness, not material gain

Join us for a heartfelt conversation about identity, purpose, and the quiet transformation that happens when you live for an audience of One.

📖 Scripture Focus: 1 Samuel 16:1–7

🌍 Locations: United Kingdom 🇬🇧 | Virginia, USA 🇺🇸

🎨 Making the Invisible Visible: A Conversation with Prophetic Artist, Deb Brown Maher

This week on UNBOXED on Purpose, I had the privilege of speaking with Deb Brown Maher—Prophetic Artist, perspective illuminator, and author of Sell Like Jesus: 7 Characteristics of Christ for Ethical Sales. Deb’s journey beautifully blends leadership, creativity, and spiritual sensitivity.

From learning technique in a Pennsylvania attic to developing a God-centered sales methodology, Deb now helps individuals discover and release the masterpiece within. Our conversation explores how childhood passions, divine nudges, and courageous self-reflection can guide us toward meaningful, purpose-filled work.

Key leadership insights from this episode:

•Purpose often emerges from what influenced us early in life.

•The gifts that make us effective professionally can also fuel our creative and spiritual impact.

•Innovation requires unlearning limits and removing the “nots” that keep us boxed in.

•Art, like leadership, begins with attentive listening—sometimes with a “third ear.”

If you’re navigating transition, seeking clarity, or exploring your creative identity, Deb’s wisdom will speak to you.

TITLE: Healing and Forgiveness

Host Barbara A. F. Brehon

Featuring Rhonda James Woolard

What does it really take to heal after deep trauma? Author, Certified Master Coach, and Survivor Rhonda James Woolard joins us on this episode of UNBOXED on Purpose to share her journey from pain to freedom through the power of forgiveness.

Raised in Jamesville, NC, Rhonda once thought she’d become a teacher—but God called her to a different kind of classroom: teaching others how to reclaim hope, release shame, and step into healing. A sexual abuse survivor, Rhonda shares how writing her truth in books like A Catalyst Change and A Time to Heal: 7 Steps to Healing and Forgiveness After Sexual Abuse and Assault helped her forgive, release, and grow closer to God.

💡 In this episode, we explore:

• The power of self-forgiveness and how it transforms mental health
• What it means to face the truth of trauma without being defined by it
• The importance of mentorship, love, and community in the healing process
• How God can take childhood passions and align them with ultimate purpose

Failure Isn’t Final | with Jeremy Witherow

In this episode, I sit down with itinerant gospel minister Jeremy Witherow to unpack his powerful journey from brokenness to redemption.

• Childhood passions, setbacks, and resilience
• How God reframes our failures for His purpose
• The role of prophetic ministry in today’s church
