🎙️ Episode 11: Your Grandmother’s Prayers Are Still Protecting You – Why Titus 2 Still Matters

There’s a kind of strength that doesn’t get shared on social media. The kind that’s passed from woman to woman—in kitchens, in quiet prayers, in the way you fold a towel or speak a name in intercession.

In this episode, Kristy reflects on the women who shaped her—some family, some chosen—and the legacy they passed on without even realizing it. From Titus 2 wisdom to tear-soaked prayers over future grandchildren, this is a tribute to the kind of spiritual inheritance that shows up in the daily ordinary and still echoes into eternity.

Whether you had a grandmother who prayed for you or you’re becoming that woman now—this one will reach somewhere deep.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

• Why Titus 2 is still essential today—and how Kristy sees it lived out
• What it means to pass down spiritual legacy beyond just motherhood
• The quiet power of aunties, mentors, and sister-friends
• Why it matters to teach kids “all your stuff”—not just the expected roles
• A prayer of covering for generations that haven’t even arrived yet

🎙️ Episode 10: The Power of Yet – Growth Mindset & Grace
Sometimes we get stuck in “I can’t.” We look at our marriage, our kids, our faith—or even our own body—and feel the weight of everything we aren’t. But what if the truth isn’t that we can’t… just that we can’t yet?

In this episode, we unpack what it means to hold a growth mindset that’s rooted in grace—not hustle, not pressure. Just grace. Through stories from our own marriage, parenting, and disability journey, we explore how the smallest shift in language can unlock long-term resilience.

This isn’t about pretending things are easy. It’s about refusing to believe that how things are now is how they’ll always be. You’re not behind. You’re just still growing.

🔥 What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
• Why “I can’t do it yet” changes everything
• How we’ve grown through miscommunication in marriage
• Helping kids develop a growth mindset early
• The difference between perfection and progress
• Why grace is the soil we grow in—not the excuse to stop trying

🎙️ Episode 9: After 22 – The Fight for Dignity Doesn’t Stop

What happens when the services run out, but the needs don’t?

In this episode, Tony sits down with longtime community partner Jackie, founder of Angels Bridging Gaps. Together, they talk about what happens when a young adult with a disability turns 22—and the school support ends. From inaccessible waitlists to broken funding models, Jackie shares hard-earned wisdom on what families actually face, and why it takes more than policy to close the gap. It takes people.

Jackie’s honesty is raw. Her solutions are grassroots. This conversation doesn’t just expose the system’s cracks—it shines a light on the communities that are choosing to stand in them.

🔶 What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

• What families lose when their child ages out of the school system
• Why “caregiver burnout” is more than just exhaustion
• The origin story of Angels Bridging Gaps—and what they’re building now
• How the One Voice Coalition is uniting local organizations to advocate for real change
• Why community-based solutions may be more powerful than state programs

🎙️ 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 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 6: John 9 – Born for More

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.

🔶 What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

• A raw account of Tony’s early life, disability, and search for identity
• The pivotal moment in John 9 that reframed his story
• What the church sometimes gets wrong about disability—and how Jesus gets it right

• The invitation to “come and see” for yourself

🎙️ 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. From invisible burdens and unspoken resentment to practical logistics and shared faith, this episode pulls back the curtain on the real tension—and real tenderness—that shapes their life together.

You’ll hear about stubborn independence, the emotional layers behind asking for help, and why caregiving isn’t always a job—it’s sometimes just love in action. This is for anyone carrying more than they can name, wondering if anyone else gets it.

🎙️ 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
