🎙️ Episode 12: Stop Planning and Start Doing: Authenticity Over Polish
Are you stuck in planning because it feels safer than actually obeying?
In Episode 12 of Unshaken, Tony goes solo with a simple message for anyone who feels stalled: authenticity beats polish. If God has put something on your heart, this is your nudge to stop overthinking, take one step, and trust Him in the movement.
God can use your yes long before you have it all figured out.

Tony shares a picture from a family retreat that made the point in real time: a spontaneous conga line that brought pure joy, and no one planned it. Then he connects it to the Great Commission. Jesus didn’t say “get ready, then go.” He said go, and as you are going, make disciples. This episode is for the over-planner, the discouraged builder, and the person who keeps waiting to feel prepared. Plan enough to be faithful, then move, and let God fill in the blanks.
🔶 What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
- Why authenticity beats polish, especially in ministry and leadership
- How over-planning can choke the life out of what God is calling you to do
- A real example from a retreat: the unplanned “Christian conga line” and why it mattered
- What Jesus meant by “go” in the Great Commission: as you are going, not after you are finished planning
- A balanced reminder: planning is good, but overthinking, over-administrating, and fear-driven perfection are not
