  Episode 74: What If the Strongest Christian in the Room Needs Help?

  Aug 18, 202631 min

  ️ Episode 74: What If the Strongest Christian in the Room Needs Help? What if the strongest Christian in the room is not the person who needs the least? Tony flies solo for an honest look at how Christians define strength, dependence, weakness, and calling. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 12, 1 Corinthians 1, Mark 10, 2 Corinthians 4, and Hebrews 4, he asks whether our picture of strength has been shaped more by self-sufficiency than by Christ. Christ is not asking you to become invulnerable before his grace can meet you. For Deeper Study: https://unshakenpodcast.org/episodes/what-if-the-strongest-christian-in-the-room-needs-help/ Tony reflects on his own journey with cerebral palsy, unanswered prayer, and receiving visible help, while making an important distinction: grace never asks us to excuse sin, harm, neglect, or growth we are able to pursue. Christian strength is not passivity. It is dependence on Christ, honest limits, service, courage, and faithfulness. What You'll Hear in This Episode: Why self-sufficiency is not the Christian definition of strength What Paul's thorn teaches about grace, calling, and unanswered prayer Why visible dependence does not diminish dignity, competence, or spiritual credibility How to distinguish limitations that call for acceptance from sin, harm, or patterns that require action Why asking for help, receiving care, and serving within limits can be expressions of faithful strength Need Prayer or Encouragement?

  Episode 73: When School Feels Impossible: What Your Child May Be Trying to Tell You

  Aug 11, 202630 min

  ️ Episode 73: When School Feels Impossible: What Your Child May Be Trying to Tell You What if the morning meltdown is not the problem, but a clue to something your child cannot yet explain? Tony and Kristy talk through the mornings when a child is crying, shutting down, bargaining, complaining of a stomachache, or simply saying they cannot go to school. Instead of treating the refusal as the whole problem, they look for what may be underneath it, including bullying, academic overwhelm, sensory stress, health needs, disrupted routines, embarrassment, or a loss of safety. Before you punish the refusal, make sure you understand the story underneath it. For Deeper Study: https://unshakenpodcast.org/episodes/when-school-feels-impossible-what-your-child-may-be-trying-to-tell-you/ School matters, and so does what a child may be experiencing there. This conversation holds compassion and responsibility together, with practical ways to ask better questions, notice repeated patterns, work with the school, build trusted support, consider accommodations, and pray with your child while you keep moving toward a workable path forward. What You'll Hear in This Episode: Why school refusal can be a clue instead of a complete explanation How repeated classes, people, transitions, sounds, symptoms, or fears can reveal patterns Why "I don't know" may be an honest answer when a child cannot name what feels wrong How compassion, responsibility, school partnership, and accommodations can work together Ways to build trusted adults, practical options, prayer, and support before the next hard morning Need Prayer or Encouragement?

  Episode 72: Make Room Without Keeping Score

  Aug 4, 202632 min

  ️ Episode 72: Make Room Without Keeping Score Who do you invite when there is nothing in it for you? Tony and Kristy open Luke 14:12-24 and confront the hidden economy that can turn hospitality into a quiet exchange. They ask what it means to invite people because they belong, especially when disability, age, transportation, food needs, sensory needs, or accessibility make welcome cost more than convenience. Christ does not confuse someone else's inconvenience with what you're actually worth. For Deeper Study: https://unshakenpodcast.org/episodes/make-room-without-keeping-score/ Jesus does not offer a softer version of selective hospitality. He changes the guest list, removes the expectation of repayment, and calls His people to bring near those who are often left outside. This conversation speaks both to the person shaping the table and the person who has learned to wonder whether needing accommodation makes them a burden. What You'll Hear in This Episode: How reciprocity can quietly turn welcome into scorekeeping What Luke 14 reveals about who belongs at the table Why real inclusion changes plans, removes barriers, and costs something A pastoral word for anyone who has felt like an inconvenience Everyday ways to practice hospitality beyond parties and dinner tables Need Prayer or Encouragement?

  Episode 71: Are You Waiting for Wisdom or Holding On to Control?

  Jul 28, 202635 min

  ️ Episode 71: Are You Waiting for Wisdom or Holding On to Control? Are you still gathering wisdom, or has preparation become a safer way to avoid the step God has already made clear? Tony and Kristy talk honestly about procrastination, uncertain outcomes, ADHD initiation, and the temptation to wait for perfect conditions. Grounded in Ecclesiastes 11, they examine the difference between wise planning and using responsibility, research, or readiness to protect ourselves from risk. Faithfulness begins when we stop demanding certainty and take the next step God has already made clear. For Deeper Study: https://unshakenpodcast.org/episodes/are-you-waiting-for-wisdom-or-holding-on-to-control/ Some obstacles are real, and some waiting is wise. But when one more answer will not change the decision, delay can become a quiet attempt to control what belongs to God. Tony and Kristy share practical ways to move forward through smaller steps, drafts, deadlines, support, and honest experimentation while remembering that we can plant faithfully without controlling the harvest. What You'll Hear in This Episode: How Ecclesiastes 11 exposes the trap of waiting for perfect conditions How to tell whether waiting is serving faithfulness or protecting you from risk Why ADHD, perfectionism, and invisible progress can make starting feel impossible Practical ways to move through drafts, smaller steps, support, and helpful deadlines Why the next faithful step is ours, but timing, growth, and the outcome belong to God Need Prayer or Encouragement?

  Unshaken Conversation: Cody Watson: When the Faith You Preach Becomes the Faith You Need

  Jul 25, 202649 min

  ️ Unshaken Conversation: Cody Watson: When the Faith You Preach Becomes the Faith You Need What happens when the truths you have taught for years become the only place left to stand? Tony sits down with pastor, father, and disability advocate Cody Watson to talk about the medical crisis that changed his family, raising two sons with disabilities, and the moment theology stopped being something he studied and became something he had to live. Faith becomes more than a doctrine when it has to hold you through the night. For Deeper Study: https://unshakenpodcast.org/episodes/unshaken-conversation-cody-watson-when-the-faith-you-preach-becomes-the-faith-you-need/ Cody shares how his son Knox's heart condition and Williams syndrome led his family through open-heart surgery, cardiac arrest, months in the hospital, and the steady confession, "Either way, he'll be okay." He and Tony also talk about prayer with ADHD, marriage as a shared load, resisting burnout, the work of the Southern Baptist Disability Ministry Task Force, and why churches of every size can take faithful steps toward real inclusion. What You'll Hear in This Episode: How Cody and Erin held onto God's sovereignty through medical crisis and uncertainty Why the idea that God gives "special kids to special parents" can wound families How short, honest prayer and clear communication can steady a stretched family What the Southern Baptist Disability Ministry Task Force accomplished and what comes next Why even a very small church can change the life of a disability family Visit Cody's Website: https://sovereigntyinmotion.com/ Need Prayer or Encouragement?
