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 14: The Courage to Try New Things – Trusting God When Obedience Feels Risky
🎙️ Episode 14: The Courage to Try New Things – Trusting God When Obedience Feels Risky
Trusting God sounds simple—until obedience asks for something that feels impossible to let go.
In this episode, Kristy shares a powerful story from her sociology classroom about farmers who refuse life-changing improvements—not because they don’t want better, but because the risk feels too dangerous. That story becomes the foundation for a conversation about doubt, control, and the way fear shapes our decisions more than we realize.
We look at the story of Doubting Thomas through a new lens, explore how disability and caregiving often lead to a “bunker mentality,” and unpack the ways we quietly resist the very changes we pray for. From paper towels to missionary callings, we name the spectrum of risk—and what it means to trust God enough to move.
🔶 What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
• Why we often choose survival over growth
• The surprising root of Thomas’s doubt
• What Gideon teaches us about asking for confirmation
• Why control is so hard to release—and what trust really means
• How to pray when you’re not sure if you can risk the next step
