Episode 8: Presume Competence – A Word for Anyone Who’s Ever Been Underestimated

🎙️ Episode 8: Presume Competence – A Word for Anyone Who’s Ever Been Underestimated

What if the person you thought didn’t understand—actually did?
What if they were listening the whole time, just waiting for you to believe they could?

In this deeply personal solo episode, Kristy shares what it means to truly presume competence—especially in students who don’t speak the way we expect. As the director of her school, she could have stayed behind the scenes. But from day one, she chose presence over position—jumping into classrooms, building relationships, and discovering firsthand how easy it is to underestimate someone who doesn’t communicate in typical ways.

This episode isn’t just about disability—it’s about dignity. About refusing to assume limits. About honoring the brilliance hidden behind silence, stimming, or overload. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, leader, or someone learning to see differently, this conversation will reframe how you show up for others.

🔶 What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

Why “non-verbal” is a misleading label—and what it overlooks
The difference between apraxia, regulation, and behavior
A transformative story from the short film Loop
How presuming competence reshaped Kristy’s leadership, advocacy, and faith
A gentle call to slow down and really see the people around you

🎙️ Episode 1: Welcome to Unshaken – Our Story & Mission

What if the messiest parts of your life are the very places God wants to meet you?
What if you didn’t have to have it all together to stand firm in your faith?

In this very first episode of Unshaken, Tony and Kristy open the door to their story—and invite you into something real. From blended family life to living with disability, from long-distance marriage to full-time ministry, this episode lays the foundation for what this podcast is all about: honesty, resilience, and faith that refuses to be shaken.

You’ll hear how Cerebral Palsy, ADHD, and unexpected callings shaped their journey—and why “Unshaken” isn’t a claim of perfection, but a declaration of trust. Whether you’re navigating marriage, parenting, disability, or just trying to keep going when life doesn’t look the way you expected... this is for you.

🔶 What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

Why “Unshaken” became the name—and the heartbeat—of this podcast
How Tony and Kristy’s stories, ministries, and marriage led to this moment
What to expect in future episodes: marriage, faith, disability, church, resilience

A prayer of blessing and courage for your journey ahead

🎙️ Episode 3: Finding Hope When You Feel Overlooked

What if the thing you’ve been begging someone to notice... has already been seen by God?

In this episode, Tony and Kristy open up about what it feels like to be overlooked—at school, at work, in relationships, even in the church. From Tony’s story of walking into a job interview and being dismissed on sight, to Kristy’s reflections on invisible disability and daily rejection, this conversation is honest, emotional, and real.

But it doesn’t stop there. Through Scripture and lived experience, they remind us that God sees what the world misses. From the woman who touched Jesus’ cloak to David being left in the field, this episode holds space for the overlooked—and calls us to be the kind of people who see others, too.

If you’ve ever felt unseen, passed over, or dismissed... this one is for you.

🔶 What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

Why being “easy to overlook” doesn’t mean you don’t matter
Personal stories of rejection in medicine, dating, and job interviews
The pain of being spoken about but not to
A beautiful reflection on the woman in Luke 8 and the God who stops for her
How to re-engage when you feel invisible (including the “8-minute rule”)
Small, practical ways to help others feel seen—starting today
A prayer for the ones waiting to be noticed

🎙️ Episode 5: Marriage, Disability & the Weight We Carry – Real Talk on Burnout, Support, and Love That Holds

What does love look like when life gets heavy?

In this honest and deeply relatable conversation, Tony and Kristy open up about caregiver burnout, emotional strain, and what it means to support one another in a marriage where disability is part of daily life.

🎙️ Episode 7: Are You Worthy of the One You’re Praying For?

What if the question isn’t just who you’re praying for—but who you’re becoming in the process?

In this raw and reflective solo episode, Tony opens up about the hard lessons he’s learned as a husband, a leader, and a man called to love with Christ-like care. From dating mistakes to spiritual growth, he unpacks Ephesians 5:21–33—not as a lecture, but as a confession and a challenge.

This isn’t about perfection—it’s about posture. About choosing service over status, humility over pride, and submission not as control, but as Christ-centered protection. Whether you're married, dating, or still praying for your future spouse, this episode offers an honest look at how God shapes us into someone worth trusting with another’s heart.

🔶 What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

Why Ephesians 5 is one of the most misused—and misunderstood—passages on marriage
How spiritual leadership starts with sacrifice, not control
The turning point that nearly ended Tony and Kristy’s relationship
The unseen power of prayer, protection, and public honor
What “assuming positive intent” looks like in real life
A warning about spiritual abuse—and a clear reminder to seek help if needed
A prayer for husbands, wives, and those still waiting

Episode 4: Resilience – Pushing Past the Fear

Unshaken

04/15/25 • 33 min

🎙️ Episode 4: Resilience – Pushing Past the Fear

What if the only thing standing between you and what God is calling you to do... is fear?

In this solo episode, Tony shares the behind-the-scenes story of launching Unshaken—not out of hype, but out of quiet obedience. From a challenge to write 50 episode topics (that turned into 100) to late nights, research, and the decision to stay audio-only, this episode offers a raw look at what resilience really means when the newness wears off.

Through Hebrews 11 and 12, Tony explores how faith fuels perseverance—not just in moments of clarity, but especially in the mess. This is what perseverance looks like—resilience in action when the hype wears off. If you’re wrestling with fear, hesitation, or self-doubt about what God is asking you to do, this episode will meet you right where you are.

You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to run the race He marked out for you.

🔶 What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

The moment Kristy said “only if you can write 50 topics”
Why the podcast stayed audio-only—and why that matters
How comparison can kill resilience (and what Hebrews says about it)
The role of prayer and spousal unity in stepping into your calling
Why “burn the ships” became their rallying cry
A challenge to name what God is stirring in you—and say it out loud
A prayer for boldness, clarity, and obedience

What if the very things you see as mistakes, accidents, or disadvantages... are the very things God crafted on purpose?

In this deeply personal solo episode, Tony shares his testimony of being born prematurely, growing up with cerebral palsy, and battling feelings of being an accident. Through his encounter with John 9, everything changed. What started as pain, anger, and misunderstanding was reframed as purpose.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever asked, “Why me?” or felt defined by things they can’t control. Through real-life experience and a powerful look at Scripture, Tony invites listeners to see that you were not made of spare parts. You were born on purpose—for a purpose.
