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 don’t have to navigate life alone. Hosted by Tony and Kristy, this show is all about living out Faith, Family, and Resilience, not just as a motto, but as a way of life.

Each week, we explore the real joys and challenges of marriage, family life, and disability through the lens of biblical truth. Whether you're an individual, a couple, or a caregiver, you’ll find encouragement, practical support, and unshakable hope in Christ.

We’re here to build a Christ-centered community where real stories matter, struggles are honored, and no one has to feel alone. If you’ve ever felt unseen, unheard, or unsure how to keep going, we want to hear your story, your questions, and your prayers. Because they matter.

This is Faith. Family. Resilience.
This is Unshaken.

🎙️ 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 anxious
Kristy’s story about their daughter Elin, and the moment one sentence shifted fear into hope
What Romans 8:28 actually promises, and what it does not
Three reasons we default to worst-case thinking, and how to recognize them
Simple, practical ways to practice hope, including a one-sentence prayer for today
