Hi there!
My name is Unoma Nwankwor, the founder of EXPECTANT LIVING.
Years ago, on a long road trip, I was listening to a book by Bishop T.D. Jakes when one line stopped me cold. He posed a question about the pursuit of destiny: were we willing to endure the pain of the process, or would we settle instead for the “mediocrity of the status quo”?
That single question stirred something in my soul.
I’ve always been an encourager. Even as an introvert, I’ve stepped into that gifting whenever the opportunity presented itself. When I scroll through social media, I see people, strangers and family alike, who I’ve spoken life into, stepping past their inhibitions to chase their dreams, or finding their way out of despair because of a word I gave them.
After hearing that question, I became more intentional about being an ambassador of hope for the people using their gifts in service to the Body of Christ. I call them Christianpreneurs. I understood then that being transparent about my own journey would help others avoid being frustrated out of their destiny.
At the time, I wasn’t sure how much of myself I wanted to reveal. But that question was the confirmation that solidified what I already knew I was called to do. It was time to walk fully into my calling and purpose as a Hope Ambassador and Champion.
And so, Expectant Living was born.
