Episode 23: Just Do Something: Simple Ways to Start in Disability Ministry Artwork

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 23: Just Do Something: Simple Ways to Start in Disability Ministry

August 26, 2025 • Tony & Kristy • Episode 23

🎙️ Episode 23: Just Do Something: Simple Ways to Start in Disability Ministry

What if the call wasn’t to have it all figured out, but simply to start?

God moves most when we stop waiting for perfect conditions.

In this solo episode, Tony shares how disability ministry came crashing into his life through an unexpected video, a sleepless night, and a conviction he couldn’t shake. From that first “yes” to the community partnerships and families now being served, he tells the story of what God can do when we stop overthinking and start obeying.

This episode isn’t a highlight reel—it’s a behind-the-scenes look at the tension, the tears, and the small steps of faith that built something beautiful. Whether you’re a pastor, a parent, or simply someone wondering where to begin, this conversation will remind you that obedience is always enough to start a miracle.

🔶 What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

The altar-stone moment when disability ministry became an undeniable “yes”
Why siblings, parents, and whole families need to be seen, not just the child with a diagnosis
The lesson of jerseys, trophies, and belonging from a four-week soccer league
How “just do something” became the guiding refrain for starting new ministries
The challenge to churches: progress over perfection, presence over polish
