    Episode 44: God Goes Ahead of You: Confidence for the Unknown Path

    🎙️ Episode 44: God Goes Ahead of You: Confidence for the Unknown Path What do you do when you care deeply, but you cannot see what is coming next? Tony and Kristy share a fresh confidence they walked away with after PodFest, then anchor it in a steady promise from Deuteronomy 31:8. This is for the person who is trying to be faithful, trying to lead well, and still feels that quiet fear when the road ahead is not clear. You are not stepping into the unknown alone. If the future has felt intimidating lately, this conversation names why. It is not weakness to feel the weight of what you love. But it is also not your job to carry it the way God can. In the middle of uncertainty, the invitation is simple and hard: trust His nearness more than your readiness, and take the next wise step without needing the whole map. 🔶 What You’ll Hear in This Episode: Why Deuteronomy 31:8 is not a pep talk, it is a promiseHow God goes ahead of you, walks beside you, and is already in the place you are afraid to enterWhy the future feels intimidating, and what to ask instead of “What if I fail?”Why looking back is evidence, not nostalgiaWhy obedience is the pathway to clarity, and courage is a learned habit🙏 Need Prayer or Encouragement? 💬 Want to leave a public comment?

    Episode 43: Building Something Beautiful: Learning to Dream With God

    🎙️ Episode 43: Building Something Beautiful: Learning to Dream With God What if this year isn’t about fixing yourself or chasing a list of goals, but about walking closely with God and building something beautiful with Him? God is not asking you to perform. He is inviting you to walk with Him.   Many of us step into a new year already tired, already feeling behind, and already carrying pressure to produce change. In this conversation, Tony and Kristy slow the moment down and invite you to consider what it means to dream, not for God, but with Him.   Anchored in Psalm 37:3–5, this episode explores trust, dwelling, delight, and commitment as relational postures rather than productivity goals. It’s a gentle reframing for anyone who feels worn down by comparison, guilt-driven goals, or the fear of getting it wrong.   🔶 What You’ll Hear in This Episode: Why God isn’t asking you to build a perfect year, but a beautiful oneThe difference between dreaming for God and dreaming with GodHow closeness with God reshapes our desires over timeWhy releasing can be just as holy as buildingA simple framework for the year ahead: one thing to build, one thing to release, one thing to celebrate  🙏 Need Prayer or Encouragement? 💬 Want to leave a public comment?

    Episode 42: Learning to Discern: When to React, and When to Wait

    🎙️ Episode 42: Learning to Discern: When to React, and When to Wait Have you ever walked away from a moment wishing you had responded differently? Or felt the pressure to act immediately when something in you said to wait? Discernment isn’t about having everything figured out. It’s about learning how to respond wisely when life is messy, emotions are loud, and clarity feels just out of reach. Discernment doesn’t grow in perfect conditions. It grows in the middle of real life.   In this episode, Tony and Kristy talk through discernment as a skill that develops slowly over time. They explore the difference between reacting and responding, maturity and discernment, and why survival mode can make everything feel urgent even when it’s not.   This conversation is for anyone who feels stretched thin, emotionally tired, or unsure of the next right step and wants to move forward with steadiness instead of pressure.   🔶 What You’ll Hear in This Episode:  Discernment versus reaction   Maturity and why it’s often misunderstood   How survival mode shapes decision-making   When to speak up and when to wait   How discernment creates emotional safety in families and leadership   🙏 Need Prayer or Encouragement?  💬 Want to leave a public comment?

    Episode 41: Celebrating What’s Right: Creating a Home Where People Can Breathe

    🎙️ Episode 41: Celebrating What’s Right: Creating a Home Where People Can Breathe   What if the tone of your home could change without fixing everything first?   Encouragement doesn’t happen by accident.   Most homes don’t drift toward encouragement. They drift toward efficiency, silence, or criticism, not because people don’t care, but because life is heavy and everyone is tired.   In this episode, Tony and Kristy talk about how the tone of a home is shaped over time and how choosing to notice and name what’s right can create spaces where people feel safe, seen, and strong again.   This conversation is for anyone who wants their home to feel like a place of rest rather than pressure, where effort is noticed, grace is extended, and people can breathe even on imperfect days.   🔶 What You’ll Hear in This Episode:  Why encouragement must be built on purpose   How calling out effort builds confidence and safety   The difference between flattery and true encouragement   Why encouragement strengthens unity in marriage   How homes shaped by encouragement become places of restoration     🙏 Need Prayer or Encouragement?    💬 Want to leave a public comment?

    Episode 40: What If It All Works Out: Kingdom Optimism for Anxious Days

    🎙️ Episode 40: What If It All Works Out?: Kingdom Optimism for Anxious Days What if your first instinct did not have to be, "What if it all goes wrong?" Hope is not denial. It is trust in the God who is already at work. Today, Tony and Kristy talk about what they call kingdom optimism. Not hype. Not toxic positivity. Just a steady decision to believe God is present, active, and capable, even when the outcome is still unknown. There are seasons when fear feels responsible, especially if you have been disappointed, worn down, or blindsided before. In this episode, we slow down and ask a brave question together: What if God shows up again? What if He is already working, even here?   🔶 What You’ll Hear in This Episode: Why "what if it all works out" can be a holy question, even when you feel anxiousKristy’s story about their daughter Elin, and the moment one sentence shifted fear into hopeWhat Romans 8:28 actually promises, and what it does notThree reasons we default to worst-case thinking, and how to recognize themSimple, practical ways to practice hope, including a one-sentence prayer for today 🙏 Need Prayer or Encouragement? 💬 Want to leave a public comment?

    Episode 39: Ready, Not Rushed: Wearing the Armor of God in Busy Seasons

    🎙️ Episode 39: Ready, Not Rushed: Wearing the Armor of God in Busy Seasons What does it look like to stay spiritually grounded when life feels loud, crowded, and nonstop? There are seasons when the calendar fills faster than our hearts can keep up. Expectations stack. Responsibilities pile on. And without meaning to, our relationship with God can start to feel like something we squeeze in instead of something we live from. Busyness doesn’t make you unfaithful. It just makes you tired.   In this solo episode, Tony invites you to reframe the Armor of God not as something we grab in a crisis, but as something we put on before the day ever begins. Drawing from Ephesians 6 and the invitation to abide in Christ, this episode is a gentle, grounding reminder that God doesn’t rush us through life. He meets us in it.   This conversation is especially for anyone walking through a busy season, whether it’s holidays, caregiving, work overload, or simply the weight of everyday life. You’ll be encouraged to slow your inner pace, protect your capacity for gratitude, and stay present with God in the moments that matter.   🔶 What You’ll Hear in This Episode:   • Why the Armor of God is meant to be worn proactively, not reactively • How truth anchors us when comparison and expectations creep in • Why peace is foundational for staying steady in overwhelming seasons • What it really means to abide in Christ when life feels rushed • How the armor protects presence, gratitude, and awareness   🙏 Need Prayer or Encouragement? 💬 Want to leave a public comment?

    Episode 38: Start Small, Trust Deep: How God Grows What We Can’t Yet See

    🎙️ Episode 38: Start Small, Trust Deep: How God Grows What We Can’t Yet See What if the smallest step you take this week ends up opening a door you can’t even imagine today? God often does His deepest work long before we can see any evidence of it. Many of us feel the pull to grow or change, but we hesitate because the beginning feels too small, too quiet, too uncertain. In this conversation, Tony and Kristy talk openly about those early moments of obedience and how God uses the slow work to shape us for things we don’t see coming. This isn’t a message about hustling harder. It’s a reminder that God grows what He plants in ways that are steady and full of purpose. This episode speaks into the spaces where courage feels thin and the future feels foggy. Whether you’re building something new, trying to stay faithful in the mundane, or aching for clarity, this one meets you right there and helps you breathe again. 🔶 What You’ll Hear in This Episode: Why small beginnings matter more than we thinkHow God builds trust in the hidden seasonsWhy slow growth is not wasted growthThe danger of comparison when God is writing a different story for youThe one simple first step you can take this week🙏 Need Prayer or Encouragement? 💬 Want to leave a public comment?

    Episode 37: The Good You Bring: Remembering Who God Says You Are

    🎙️ Episode 37: The Good You Bring: Remembering Who God Says You Are Why is it so easy to name what we don’t like about ourselves, yet so hard to see the good God placed in us? Sometimes the hardest battle is believing what God already says is true. In this episode, Tony and Kristy sit down for a quiet and honest conversation about identity, purpose, and the way God sees His children. We talk about why our minds run so quickly toward flaws, why old wounds still shape how we feel about ourselves, and how easy it is to forget that we were made in the image of a loving God. This isn’t a self-esteem pep talk. It’s a return to Scripture, community, and the steady truth that God made you intentionally and beautifully. As the conversation unfolds, Tony shares how God transformed the way he sees his cerebral palsy. Kristy opens up about the hidden strengths we often overlook in ourselves but easily spot in the people we love. Together, they offer a gentle reminder that humility isn’t self-rejection. God calls us to walk in truth, and part of that truth is recognizing the good He has already placed in us. 🔶 What You’ll Hear in This Episode: Why our default setting is to notice what’s wrong instead of what’s rightHow old wounds and hurtful moments shape the way we see ourselvesWhat Scripture actually says about being made in God’s imageWhy humility is not the same as tearing yourself downHow community helps us remember who we really areTony’s story of learning to see his cerebral palsy as a giftA prayer to help you walk in the truth of who God made you to be🙏 Need Prayer or Encouragement? 💬 Want to leave a public comment?
