🎙️ Episode 14: Courage to Try New Things: Trusting God When Obedience Feels Risky
Where are you holding back because the risk feels too high to hope?
In Episode 14 of Unshaken, Tony and Kristy talk about courage when obedience feels risky. Kristy opens with a story about farmers who cannot afford to take a chance, then connects it to Doubting Thomas and the way fear can keep us clinging to what feels safe.
Fear keeps us in control, but faith moves us forward.

They walk through Gideon, the bunker mentality that shows up in disability families, and the quiet ways we settle for crumbs when God is inviting us to more. This is not a hype episode. It’s a steady invitation to pray, release control, and take the next faithful step, even if you cannot see the whole path yet.
🔶 What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
- Why courage often feels risky, especially when the stakes are high and you feel responsible for others
- Doubting Thomas reframed: not just skepticism, but fear of hoping for something too good to be true
- Gideon’s repeated requests for proof, and how we repeat that pattern with God
- 2 Timothy 1:7 and the part we tend to resist: self-discipline in the unseen work
- A practical pathway: pray it through, seek confirmation wisely, release control, and sow anyway (Ecclesiastes 11:6)
