🎙️ Episode 56: When Screens Feel Like Distance: Fighting for Connection With Your Kids
What if the hardest part of screen time is not the device itself, but the quiet fear that your child is drifting further away from you?
In this episode, Tony and Kristy talk honestly about the ache many parents feel when a phone, game, or screen seems to be getting more of their kids' attention than they are. Together, they look past surface frustration and name the deeper issue underneath it: connection, presence, discipleship, and the longing to keep doing life together.
Most of the time, we are not asking for less of a screen. We are asking for more of our child.

Anchored in Deuteronomy 6, this conversation reframes screen tension as a discipleship issue, not just a rule issue. Tony and Kristy explore fear, family culture, modeling, balance, and small practical ways to reclaim meaningful time without panic, shame, or control.

🎙️ Episode 55: When It's Hard to Accept Help: Letting Yourself Be Carried
Why is it so easy to offer help, but so hard to receive it when we are the ones struggling?
In this episode, Tony and Kristy talk honestly about pride, shame, control, vulnerability, and the quiet resistance so many of us feel when care is offered. They reflect on why receiving help can feel so exposing, even when we are tired, overwhelmed, and clearly in need of support.
Sometimes the hardest part is not needing help, but letting yourself be loved enough to receive it.

If you have been carrying too much, saying "I'm fine" when you are not, or apologizing for needs that make you human, this conversation will meet you there. Rooted in scripture and lived experience, this episode is a reminder that receiving help is not weakness. It may be one of the clearest ways we stop performing, tell the truth, and let God care for us through the people He has placed around us.

What if asking for help is not weakness, but wisdom?
In this episode, Kristy and Tony talk honestly about mentorship, the people who shaped them, and why so many of us stay stuck longer than we need to because we are afraid to ask for guidance.
You do not have to build your life by trial and error when God often sends people to help carry the weight.

When your thoughts feel relentless, how do you hold onto faith without mistaking fear for the voice of God?
In this first Unshaken Conversation, Kristy sits down with licensed professional counselor Carrie Bock to talk honestly about OCD, scrupulosity, intrusive thoughts, shame, and what real help can look like for Christians who are suffering quietly.
You are not failing God because your mind is loud.

🎙️ Episode 53: God Has Been Faithful: Don't Rush Past His Goodness
How often has God answered your prayer, steadied your family, or protected your marriage, and you barely paused long enough to say thank You?
In this episode, Tony and Kristy reflect on a quiet but piercing realization: God has been faithful in ways big and small, and they have been moving so fast that they almost rushed past His goodness. From celebrating one year of Unshaken to seeing God's faithfulness in their daughters, their marriage, and even the podcast itself, this is an honest conversation about gratitude, busyness, and learning to notice what God has already done.
When we forget to notice His faithfulness, we miss the peace that comes from remembering who He has always been.
🔵 Explore this episode:
https://unshakenpodcast.org/episodes/god-has-been-faithful-dont-rush-past-his-goodness/
This conversation is tender, personal, and deeply practical. It is about more than saying thanks. It is about refusing to let hurry dull your wonder, refusing to let pressure define the whole story, and learning again how gratitude steadies your heart for whatever comes next.

🎙️ Episode 52: Faith When the Outcome Does Not Change
What do you do when you have prayed, hoped, waited, and the answer is still no?
In this episode, Tony and Kristy reflect on a devastating doctor's appointment, the silence that followed, and the deeper faith God built when the outcome they wanted never came. This is a conversation for anyone carrying disappointment, chronic pain, disability, or the ache of an unanswered prayer.
Sometimes faith grows deepest where nothing changes but us.

🎙️ Episode 51: Grief, Gratitude, and the Gifts We Did Not Expect
What do you do when the road you never would have chosen becomes one of the clearest places God meets you?
In this episode, Tony and Kristy talk through the tension of grief, gratitude, disability, calling, and the slow mercy of looking back on painful roads and realizing God was doing more than they could see in the moment.
Some of God's most tender gifts arrive through the roads we begged Him to remove.

This conversation makes room for honest sorrow without surrendering hope. It names the cost of hard seasons, pushes back against shallow silver-lining clichés, and points to the kind of faith that can grieve what was lost while still trusting that God is preparing something real on the other side.

🎙️ Episode 50: Better Together: ADHD and Body Doubling in Marriage
What if the thing you call laziness is actually a brain that needs a different kind of support?
In this episode, Tony and Kristy talk candidly about adult ADHD, how it showed up in their marriage, and the quiet tool that has helped them more than they realized: body doubling. If you have ever felt stuck, ashamed, or misunderstood, this is an invitation to name what is real and learn how to carry it together.
You do not have to carry this alone, not in your mind, not in your marriage.
🔵 Explore this episode:

ADHD can carry a lot of stigma, but naming it can bring real relief. We talk about the grace that shows up in ordinary places like a dining room table, why opposite strengths can become an asset instead of a conflict, and how Scripture calls us to bear one another’s burdens. If your home has felt heavy lately, this episode is a reminder that God meets you in the practical and strengthens what feels fragile.

🎙️ Episode 49: A Sturdy Kind of Joy: Finding Strength in the Ordinary
Have you ever felt like joy is for later, after life calms down?
In this solo episode of Unshaken, Kristy talks about the kind of joy that lives in real life. Not shiny, not loud, not dependent on perfect circumstances, but sturdy enough to hold you up when marriage is messy, bodies are tired, money feels tight, or prayers are still unanswered.
Joy is not a denial of the hard parts. It is how we keep breathing inside them.
🔵 Explore this episode:
https://unshakenpodcast.org/a-sturdy-kind-of-joy-finding-strength-in-the-ordinary/
Anchored in Nehemiah 8, Kristy explores why joy is not the opposite of grief, and why practicing joy can be an act of resistance against despair. If you have been carrying something heavy, this episode is an invitation to notice the small mercies of God and let them strengthen you for the next step.

🎙️ Episode 48: From Awareness to Action: Churches Where Everyone Belongs
What would change in your church if compassion finally became structure?
In Episode 48 of Unshaken, Tony and Kristy move from awareness to action in this disability-in-the-church series. They talk about what it looks like to build real pathways for families to belong, not just visit, and they offer simple starting points that can grow into a lasting culture of inclusion.
Compassion that never becomes structure still leaves families carrying it alone.

Inclusion is not a nice add-on. It reflects the heart of Christ and it is part of discipleship. This conversation is for pastors, leaders, volunteers, and families who are willing to take one faithful step, then another, until the church feels like home for every kind of body and mind.

A community built on faith, strengthened by family, and grounded in resilience, created for people like you.
Welcome to the Unshaken Podcast, where you do not have to…
Each week, we have honest, Christ-centered conversations about Christian marriage, family resilience, disability and faith, caregiving, disability ministry, church inclusion, and the everyday challenges families face. Through biblical truth, real stories, and practical encouragement, we explore what it looks like to love well, stand firm, ask for help, make room for others, and keep following Christ through seasons that are harder than expected.
Whether you are an individual, a couple, a parent, a caregiver, a ministry leader, or someone walking through a difficult season, you will find encouragement, practical support, and lasting hope in Christ.
We are building a community where real stories matter, struggles are honored, disability does not disqualify anyone from belonging or leadership, and no one has to feel alone.
This is Faith. Family. Resilience.
This is Unshaken.
