In this episode of Unshaken, Tony and Kristy talk honestly about the private shame that can settle over a husband, wife, mom, or dad after a hard moment. Together, they name the difference between conviction and condemnation and offer a deeply biblical path toward repair, humility, and grace. You are not the worst moment you cannot stop replaying. 🔵 Explore this episode:  https://unshakenpodcast.org/when-you-feel-like-youre-failing-your-family-grace-for-regret/ When regret starts feeling like identity, this conversation gently pulls that lie into the light.

    Episode 56: When Screens Feel Like Distance: Fighting for Connection With Your Kids

    🎙️ Episode 56: When Screens Feel Like Distance: Fighting for Connection With Your Kids What if the hardest part of screen time is not the device itself, but the quiet fear that your child is drifting further away from you? In this episode, Tony and Kristy talk honestly about the ache many parents feel when a phone, game, or screen seems to be getting more of their kids' attention than they are. Together, they look past surface frustration and name the deeper issue underneath it: connection, presence, discipleship, and the longing to keep doing life together. Most of the time, we are not asking for less of a screen. We are asking for more of our child. 🔵 Explore this episode: https://unshakenpodcast.org/when-screens-feel-like-distance-fighting-for-connection-with-your-kids/ Anchored in Deuteronomy 6, this conversation reframes screen tension as a discipleship issue, not just a rule issue. Tony and Kristy explore fear, family culture, modeling, balance, and small practical ways to reclaim meaningful time without panic, shame, or control. 🔶 What You’ll Hear in This Episode: Why so much frustration about screens is really fear about losing connection with your kidsHow family culture, not panic, shapes the way screens function in your homeWhy modeling matters if you want your kids to build healthy habits with technologyHow to use everyday moments, even video games and meals, as places for connection and discipleshipSimple ways to protect meaningful family time without turning your home into a battle zone 🙏 Need Prayer or Encouragement? 💬 Want to leave a public comment?

    Episode 55: When It's Hard to Accept Help: Letting Yourself Be Carried

    🎙️ Episode 55: When It's Hard to Accept Help: Letting Yourself Be Carried Why is it so easy to offer help, but so hard to receive it when we are the ones struggling? In this episode, Tony and Kristy talk honestly about pride, shame, control, vulnerability, and the quiet resistance so many of us feel when care is offered. They reflect on why receiving help can feel so exposing, even when we are tired, overwhelmed, and clearly in need of support. Sometimes the hardest part is not needing help, but letting yourself be loved enough to receive it. 🔵 Explore this episode:   https://unshakenpodcast.org/episodes/when-its-hard-to-accept-help-letting-yourself-be-carried/ If you have been carrying too much, saying "I'm fine" when you are not, or apologizing for needs that make you human, this conversation will meet you there. Rooted in scripture and lived experience, this episode is a reminder that receiving help is not weakness. It may be one of the clearest ways we stop performing, tell the truth, and let God care for us through the people He has placed around us. 🔶What You'll Hear in This Episode: Why receiving help can feel more vulnerable than giving itHow pride, shame, fear, and control keep us from saying yes to careWhy old wounds can make safe help feel riskySmall, honest ways to begin accepting help without feeling overwhelmedHow receiving help honors both the giver and the God who sends them🙏 Need Prayer or Encouragement?  💬 Want to leave a public comment?

    🎙️ Episode 54: Mentorship: You Were Never Meant to Figure It Out Alone What if asking for help is not weakness, but wisdom? In this episode, Kristy and Tony talk honestly about mentorship, the people who shaped them, and why so many of us stay stuck longer than we need to because we are afraid to ask for guidance. You do not have to build your life by trial and error when God often sends people to help carry the weight.   🔵 Explore this episode:  https://unshakenpodcast.org/mentorship-you-were-never-meant-to-figure-it-out-alone/ If you have been trying to muscle through a hard season on your own, this conversation is a gentle reminder that humility can open doors pride never will.

    Episode 53: God Has Been Faithful: Don’t Rush Past His Goodness

    🎙️ Episode 53: God Has Been Faithful: Don't Rush Past His Goodness   How often has God answered your prayer, steadied your family, or protected your marriage, and you barely paused long enough to say thank You?   In this episode, Tony and Kristy reflect on a quiet but piercing realization: God has been faithful in ways big and small, and they have been moving so fast that they almost rushed past His goodness. From celebrating one year of Unshaken to seeing God's faithfulness in their daughters, their marriage, and even the podcast itself, this is an honest conversation about gratitude, busyness, and learning to notice what God has already done.   When we forget to notice His faithfulness, we miss the peace that comes from remembering who He has always been. 🔵 Explore this episode:  https://unshakenpodcast.org/episodes/god-has-been-faithful-dont-rush-past-his-goodness/   This conversation is tender, personal, and deeply practical. It is about more than saying thanks. It is about refusing to let hurry dull your wonder, refusing to let pressure define the whole story, and learning again how gratitude steadies your heart for whatever comes next.   🔶 What You'll Hear in This Episode: When gratitude slips because life has been full, fast, and loudHow God's faithfulness showed up in their daughters' growth and maturityWhy remembering God's goodness strengthens peace, confidence, and hopeA candid marriage moment about neglect, repentance, and renewed intentionWhy God's faithfulness does not depend on polish, perfect timing, or ideal conditions  🙏 Need Prayer or Encouragement? 💬 Want to leave a public comment?

    🎙️ Episode 52: Faith When the Outcome Does Not Change What do you do when you have prayed, hoped, waited, and the answer is still no? In this episode, Tony and Kristy reflect on a devastating doctor's appointment, the silence that followed, and the deeper faith God built when the outcome they wanted never came. This is a conversation for anyone carrying disappointment, chronic pain, disability, or the ache of an unanswered prayer. Sometimes faith grows deepest where nothing changes but us. 🔵 Explore this episode:  https://unshakenpodcast.org/episodes/faith-when-the-outcome-does-not-change/ If you are walking through a season that did not resolve the way you begged God for, this episode offers honest companionship.

    Episode 51: Grief, Gratitude, and the Gifts We Did Not Expect.

    🎙️ Episode 51: Grief, Gratitude, and the Gifts We Did Not Expect   What do you do when the road you never would have chosen becomes one of the clearest places God meets you?   In this episode, Tony and Kristy talk through the tension of grief, gratitude, disability, calling, and the slow mercy of looking back on painful roads and realizing God was doing more than they could see in the moment.   Some of God's most tender gifts arrive through the roads we begged Him to remove.   🔵 Explore this episode:  https://unshakenpodcast.org/episodes/grief-gratitude-and-the-gifts-we-did-not-expect/   This conversation makes room for honest sorrow without surrendering hope. It names the cost of hard seasons, pushes back against shallow silver-lining clichés, and points to the kind of faith that can grieve what was lost while still trusting that God is preparing something real on the other side.   🔶 What You’ll Hear in This Episode: Why grieving a hard season is not the same as lacking faithHow silver-lining comments can minimize pain, and what real presence sounds like insteadWhy Tony now sees cerebral palsy not only as a cost, but also as a gift that shaped his callingHow Kristy learned to hold grief for what she lost and gratitude for what God was buildingWhy grief and gratitude can sit at the same table while hope keeps pointing you forward  🙏 Need Prayer or Encouragement? 💬 Want to leave a public comment?
