Unshaken
A community built on faith, strengthened by family, and grounded in resilience—created for people like you.
Welcome to the Unshaken Podcast, where you don’t have to navigate life alone. Hosted by Tony and Kristy, this show is all about living out Faith, Family, and Resilience—not just as a motto, but as a way of life.
Each week, we explore the real joys and challenges of marriage, family life, and disability through the lens of biblical truth. Whether you're an individual, a couple, or a caregiver, you’ll find encouragement, practical support, and unshakable hope in Christ.
We’re here to build a Christ-centered community where real stories matter, struggles are honored, and no one has to feel alone. If you’ve ever felt unseen, unheard, or unsure how to keep going—we want to hear your story, your questions, and your prayers. Because they matter.
This is Faith. Family. Resilience.
This is Unshaken.

Episode 6: John 9 – Born for More
🎙️ Episode 6: John 9 – Born for More
What if the very things you see as mistakes, accidents, or disadvantages… are the very things God crafted on purpose?
In this deeply personal solo episode, Tony shares his testimony of being born prematurely, growing up with cerebral palsy, and battling feelings of being an accident. Through his encounter with John 9, everything changed. What started as pain, anger, and misunderstanding was reframed as purpose.
This episode is for anyone who’s ever asked, “Why me?” or felt defined by things they can’t control. Through real-life experience and a powerful look at Scripture, Tony invites listeners to see that you were not made of spare parts. You were born on purpose—for a purpose.
🔶 What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
- A raw account of Tony’s early life, disability, and search for identity
- The pivotal moment in John 9 that reframed his story
- What the church sometimes gets wrong about disability—and how Jesus gets it right
- Why being overlooked doesn’t mean you're forgotten
- The invitation to “come and see” for yourself
- A gospel-centered prayer for salvation, recommitment, or boldness in your journey
