Unshaken
A community built on faith, strengthened by family, and grounded in resilience, created for people like you.
Welcome to the Unshaken Podcast, where you do not have to navigate life alone. Hosted by Tony and Kristy, this show is about living out Faith, Family, and Resilience when life does not go as planned.
Each week, we have honest, Christ-centered conversations about Christian marriage, family resilience, disability and faith, caregiving, disability ministry, church inclusion, and the everyday challenges families face. Through biblical truth, real stories, and practical encouragement, we explore what it looks like to love well, stand firm, ask for help, make room for others, and keep following Christ through seasons that are harder than expected.
Whether you are an individual, a couple, a parent, a caregiver, a ministry leader, or someone walking through a difficult season, you will find encouragement, practical support, and lasting hope in Christ.
We are building a community where real stories matter, struggles are honored, disability does not disqualify anyone from belonging or leadership, and no one has to feel alone.
This is Faith. Family. Resilience.
This is Unshaken.
