🎙️ Episode 76: When Your Parents Start Needing You

What happens when the people who have always been your touchstone begin needing you in new ways?

Tony and Kristy talk about the slow, sometimes surprising shift that happens as parents age and adult children begin carrying more responsibility. They explore how to offer practical help while still honoring a parent's dignity, agency, privacy, wisdom, and right to participate in decisions about their own life.

Love does not have to erase dignity just because the roles are changing.

🔵 For Deeper Study:
https://unshakenpodcast.org/episodes/when-your-parents-start-needing-you/

This season can hold grief and gratitude at the same time. It can bring hard conversations, sibling tension, changing schedules, outside care, and the temptation to turn a parent into a list of problems to solve. Tony and Kristy make room for all of that while returning to a steadier posture: tell the truth with tenderness, ask before taking over, share the load when possible, receive help when you need it, and keep looking for the person beneath the needs.

🔶 What You'll Hear in This Episode:
How honoring your parents can change as family roles change without ignoring reality or taking over unnecessarily
Why help should support dignity and participation rather than make an aging parent feel smaller
How efficiency can quietly work against love when a parent can still choose, contribute, and enjoy familiar traditions
Why caregiver capacity, sibling responsibility, respite, and outside support are matters of stewardship, not failure
How to protect ordinary moments, memories, and the parent-child relationship while practical needs keep increasing

🎙️ Unshaken Conversation: Gary Steffes: When Trying Harder Is Not the Answer

What if the harder you try to live the Christian life, the more exhausted you become?

In this Unshaken Conversation, Tony sits down with his friend Gary Steffes, who leads Pure Encouragement. Gary shares how God met him in the anxiety and performance pressure of his hockey career, transformed the way he understood confidence, and taught him that spiritual strength does not come from trying to become the power source.

The branch was never meant to become the power source.

🔵 For Deeper Study:
https://unshakenpodcast.org/unshaken-conversation-gary-steffes-when-trying-harder-is-not-the-answer/

From pre-deciding to stand firm, to "going vertical" in marriage and parenting, to building trusted brotherhood and making prayer a non-negotiable part of life, Gary keeps returning to John 15:4. This conversation is for believers who are tired of trying to muscle fruit into their lives and want to learn what it means to stay close to Jesus and let Him produce what effort alone cannot.

🔶 What You'll Hear in This Episode:
How Gary moved from performance-driven anxiety to finding his identity and confidence in Christ
Why resilience often begins with a heart-level decision made before the pressure comes
How John 15:4 shifted Gary from trying harder to abiding more deeply in Jesus
What "go vertical" looks like in real moments of marriage, parenting, and emotional pressure
Why trusted community and prayer matter when you want to live with spiritual strength

🎙️ Episode 75: When Your Story Is Not Public Property

What happens when a question that seems harmless starts to feel exhausting? How do we balance grace for people who are trying to learn with the right to protect our own story?

In this episode of Unshaken Podcast, Tony and Kristy talk about questions, privacy, agency, and dignity through the lens of faith, family, resilience, disability, and real life.

They share what it is like to repeatedly answer questions about disability, how intent and impact can be different, and why being visible does not mean every detail of your life is public information.

Your story is still your own, and you get to decide who receives access to it.

🔵 For Deeper Study:
https://unshakenpodcast.org/episodes/when-your-story-is-not-public-property/

This conversation explores how Christians can ask better questions, answer with grace, and protect the dignity of others. Tony and Kristy discuss agency, caregiving, family conversations, and the responsibility we have when sharing someone else's story.

🔶 What You'll Hear in This Episode:
The difference between genuine curiosity and questions that cross personal boundaries.
Why repeated questions can create fatigue even when they are asked with good intentions.
How visible does not mean public, and why agency matters.
How spouses, caregivers, and families can protect someone's dignity and story.
Why grace and boundaries can exist together.

🎙️ Episode 74: What If the Strongest Christian in the Room Needs Help?

What if the strongest Christian in the room is not the person who needs the least?

Tony flies solo for an honest look at how Christians define strength, dependence, weakness, and calling. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 12, 1 Corinthians 1, Mark 10, 2 Corinthians 4, and Hebrews 4, he asks whether our picture of strength has been shaped more by self-sufficiency than by Christ.

Christ is not asking you to become invulnerable before his grace can meet you.

🔵 For Deeper Study:
https://unshakenpodcast.org/episodes/what-if-the-strongest-christian-in-the-room-needs-help/

Tony reflects on his own journey with cerebral palsy, unanswered prayer, and receiving visible help, while making an important distinction: grace never asks us to excuse sin, harm, neglect, or growth we are able to pursue. Christian strength is not passivity. It is dependence on Christ, honest limits, service, courage, and faithfulness.

🔶 What You'll Hear in This Episode:
Why self-sufficiency is not the Christian definition of strength
What Paul's thorn teaches about grace, calling, and unanswered prayer
Why visible dependence does not diminish dignity, competence, or spiritual credibility
How to distinguish limitations that call for acceptance from sin, harm, or patterns that require action
Why asking for help, receiving care, and serving within limits can be expressions of faithful strength

🎙️ Episode 73: When School Feels Impossible: What Your Child May Be Trying to Tell You

What if the morning meltdown is not the problem, but a clue to something your child cannot yet explain?

Tony and Kristy talk through the mornings when a child is crying, shutting down, bargaining, complaining of a stomachache, or simply saying they cannot go to school. Instead of treating the refusal as the whole problem, they look for what may be underneath it, including bullying, academic overwhelm, sensory stress, health needs, disrupted routines, embarrassment, or a loss of safety. 

Before you punish the refusal, make sure you understand the story underneath it.

🔵 For Deeper Study:
https://unshakenpodcast.org/episodes/when-school-feels-impossible-what-your-child-may-be-trying-to-tell-you/

School matters, and so does what a child may be experiencing there. This conversation holds compassion and responsibility together, with practical ways to ask better questions, notice repeated patterns, work with the school, build trusted support, consider accommodations, and pray with your child while you keep moving toward a workable path forward.

🔶 What You'll Hear in This Episode:
Why school refusal can be a clue instead of a complete explanation
How repeated classes, people, transitions, sounds, symptoms, or fears can reveal patterns
Why "I don't know" may be an honest answer when a child cannot name what feels wrong
How compassion, responsibility, school partnership, and accommodations can work together
Ways to build trusted adults, practical options, prayer, and support before the next hard morning

🎙️ Episode 72: Make Room Without Keeping Score

Who do you invite when there is nothing in it for you?

Tony and Kristy open Luke 14:12-24 and confront the hidden economy that can turn hospitality into a quiet exchange. They ask what it means to invite people because they belong, especially when disability, age, transportation, food needs, sensory needs, or accessibility make welcome cost more than convenience.

Christ does not confuse someone else's inconvenience with what you're actually worth.

🔵 For Deeper Study:
https://unshakenpodcast.org/episodes/make-room-without-keeping-score/

Jesus does not offer a softer version of selective hospitality. He changes the guest list, removes the expectation of repayment, and calls His people to bring near those who are often left outside. This conversation speaks both to the person shaping the table and the person who has learned to wonder whether needing accommodation makes them a burden.

🔶 What You'll Hear in This Episode:
How reciprocity can quietly turn welcome into scorekeeping
What Luke 14 reveals about who belongs at the table
Why real inclusion changes plans, removes barriers, and costs something
A pastoral word for anyone who has felt like an inconvenience
Everyday ways to practice hospitality beyond parties and dinner tables

🎙️ Episode 71: Are You Waiting for Wisdom or Holding On to Control? 

Are you still gathering wisdom, or has preparation become a safer way to avoid the step God has already made clear?

Tony and Kristy talk honestly about procrastination, uncertain outcomes, ADHD initiation, and the temptation to wait for perfect conditions. Grounded in Ecclesiastes 11, they examine the difference between wise planning and using responsibility, research, or readiness to protect ourselves from risk. 

Faithfulness begins when we stop demanding certainty and take the next step God has already made clear.

🔵 For Deeper Study:
https://unshakenpodcast.org/episodes/are-you-waiting-for-wisdom-or-holding-on-to-control/

Some obstacles are real, and some waiting is wise. But when one more answer will not change the decision, delay can become a quiet attempt to control what belongs to God. Tony and Kristy share practical ways to move forward through smaller steps, drafts, deadlines, support, and honest experimentation while remembering that we can plant faithfully without controlling the harvest.

🔶 What You'll Hear in This Episode:
How Ecclesiastes 11 exposes the trap of waiting for perfect conditions
How to tell whether waiting is serving faithfulness or protecting you from risk
Why ADHD, perfectionism, and invisible progress can make starting feel impossible
Practical ways to move through drafts, smaller steps, support, and helpful deadlines
Why the next faithful step is ours, but timing, growth, and the outcome belong to God

🎙️ Unshaken Conversation: Cody Watson: When the Faith You Preach Becomes the Faith You Need 

What happens when the truths you have taught for years become the only place left to stand?

Tony sits down with pastor, father, and disability advocate Cody Watson to talk about the medical crisis that changed his family, raising two sons with disabilities, and the moment theology stopped being something he studied and became something he had to live.

Faith becomes more than a doctrine when it has to hold you through the night.

🔵 For Deeper Study:
https://unshakenpodcast.org/episodes/unshaken-conversation-cody-watson-when-the-faith-you-preach-becomes-the-faith-you-need/

Cody shares how his son Knox's heart condition and Williams syndrome led his family through open-heart surgery, cardiac arrest, months in the hospital, and the steady confession, "Either way, he'll be okay." He and Tony also talk about prayer with ADHD, marriage as a shared load, resisting burnout, the work of the Southern Baptist Disability Ministry Task Force, and why churches of every size can take faithful steps toward real inclusion.

🔶 What You'll Hear in This Episode:
How Cody and Erin held onto God's sovereignty through medical crisis and uncertainty
Why the idea that God gives "special kids to special parents" can wound families
How short, honest prayer and clear communication can steady a stretched family
What the Southern Baptist Disability Ministry Task Force accomplished and what comes next
Why even a very small church can change the life of a disability family

🎙️ Episode 70: Can I Fall Apart Here? What Love Requires When Someone Is Hurting

What does someone need from us when their pain cannot be explained, fixed, or hurried away?

Tony and Kristy talk about the pressure to say something useful when someone is hurting, how well-meant words can protect us from discomfort instead of caring for them, and what it looks like to offer steady, trustworthy presence.

Sometimes the safest place love can create is one where a hurting person no longer has to hold themselves together.

🔵 For Deeper Study:
https://unshakenpodcast.org/episodes/can-i-fall-apart-here-what-love-requires-when-someone-is-hurting/

Drawing from Romans 12:15, James 1:19, Job's friends, and Jesus weeping at Lazarus's tomb, Tony and Kristy explore why grief is not a failure of faith, why hope should not be used as a bandage, and how practical care can tell someone, "I see you. I am still here." This conversation invites us to stop chasing perfect words and become people others can trust with their unpolished pain.

🔶 What You'll Hear in This Episode:
Why the urge to explain or reassure may be about easing our own discomfort
The hidden questions beneath "I do not know how we are going to get through this"
What Romans 12:15 and Jesus at Lazarus's tomb teach about mourning with people
Practical phrases, follow-up, meals, texts, and listening that make care dependable
How to become a person someone can safely fall apart around

🎙️ Episode 69: Your Child Doesn't Have to Fit In to Belong

Has your child ever wanted friendship but seemed unable to find a place where they truly fit?

In this episode, Tony and Kristy talk honestly about children who feel left out, struggle to make friends, or experience belonging differently because of disability, personality, communication, fear of rejection, or simply not having found the right room yet. They share what they learned from their own children, Tony's experience growing up with a disability, and Kristy's work with non-speaking students whose friendships do not always look typical but are deeply real.

A child does not have to become easier, more typical, or more like everyone else to be worthy of belonging.

🔵 For Deeper Study:
https://unshakenpodcast.org/your-child-doesnt-have-to-fit-in-to-belong/

This conversation helps parents hold courage and comfort together, strengthen a child's identity at home, recognize real barriers without treating the child as the problem, teach friendship skills without shame, and look for meaningful connection in forms others might overlook. Tony and Kristy also challenge churches, families, coaches, and children who make friends easily to become people who notice and make room, following Jesus, who gave dignity before instruction.

🔶 What You'll Hear in This Episode:
Why different kinds of loneliness require different kinds of love
How to offer courage and comfort without dismissing fear or rejection
Why disability can change the friendship landscape without diminishing a child's worth
Practical ways to build identity, teach friendship skills, and find natural communities
How Jesus' example calls families, churches, and communities to notice people and make room
