🎙️ 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
• Why being overlooked doesn’t mean you're forgotten
• The invitation to “come and see” for yourself
• A gospel-centered prayer for salvation, recommitment, or boldness in your journey
