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 28: Your Story Matters: Ordinary, Messy, and Still Unfinished

Have you ever wondered if your story is too ordinary—or maybe too messy, to matter?

God doesn’t waste chapters, He redeems them.

In this heartfelt conversation, Tony and Kristy open up about why every story carries weight, even when it feels small, broken, or unfinished. From classroom moments and invisible friendships to their own “dark ages” of dating, they share how God uses ordinary lives to build extraordinary connection and hope.

This isn’t about polished testimonies or picture-perfect outcomes. It’s about vulnerability, grace, and the kind of honesty that helps others feel safe to do the same. Whether you’re proud of your story or still healing from it, this episode reminds you: your story still matters because your Author isn’t finished yet.

🔶 What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

Why your story matters, even when it feels ordinary or incomplete
How vulnerability creates safety and opens hearts
Stories from the classroom, parenting, and marriage that show God’s faithfulness
The lies we believe about our stories—and how to replace them with truth
An invitation to see your story as ministry, not just memory
