    UNBOXED: THEN, NOW & STILL BECOMING | Episode 139


    What happens when you go back to where you started and hear yourself with new ears?

    For Episode 139 of UNBOXED on Purpose, Rev. Dr. Barbara A. F. Brehon takes us back to the beginning and invites the audience to reflect on your own journey. This special Throwback Thursday episode revisits Episodes 1 and 20—two pivotal episodes from Season 1 featuring business mentor and social media coach Chad Burmeister. From Episode 1's "Flutter Freely with Authentic Influence" to Episode 20's role-reversal Season 1 finale where Chad interviewed Barbara, this retrospective explores the evolution of the podcast, the lessons learned along the way, and the beauty of recognizing God's faithfulness in the journey.

    This isn't simply a look at old audio files; it's a reflection on growth, learning new production tools, and realizing that arriving at one season doesn't mean the journey is finished. We are still becoming.


    Points to Ponder:



    • Where did you start?
    • Where are you now?
    • What have you learned along the way?
    • What are you still becoming?

    ✨ You are UNBOXED on Purpose.

    Title: Leadership and Presence | Hank Minor | UNBOXED on Purpose Ep 137 @favoredbythefatherministries

    Thursday, August 27, 2026

    Welcome back to UNBOXED on Purpose! In Episode 137, host Barbara A. F. Brehon sits down with Executive Leadership Mentor Hank Minor for a divinely appointed, impromptu conversation on the intersection of faith, leadership, and the power of Presence.

    When Hank reached out following a social media post, neither expected that their very first meeting would take place live on camera. Guided completely by the Holy Spirit, this episode offers a deep unboxing of traditional leadership concepts, helping you unbox your divine assignment and step into authentic presence.


    In this episode, we explore:

    · How divine appointments replace coincidence in our life and work.

    · The difference between worldly executive presence and Spirit-led Presence with a capital "P."

    · Why pastoring, parenting, and corporate leadership share the same core principles.

    · How unboxing your identity unlocks your ability to lead with wisdom and peace.

    If you are ready to stop unboxing tactical fixes and start unboxing your true spiritual alignment, this conversation is for you!
