Together, they explore the tension between surrender and control, why we so often “take it back,” and the emotional weight of carrying burdens we were never meant to hold alone. Through personal stories, vulnerable moments, and practical tools, they talk about fear, timelines, relationships, parenting, and the exhausting cycle of trying to fix everything ourselves.

This episode is for anyone who has ever:
 🙏 Prayed for peace

 🛑 Tried to release something… only to pick it right back up again

They open their hearts and share their journey into their second act—a story filled with love, blending families, and deep faith… but also unimaginable loss.

Just a year and a half into their marriage, they faced the heartbreaking loss of their daughter, Hallie. In this episode, they speak candidly about how grief changes everything—for better and for worse—and how they had to make a choice to fight together, not apart, through one of life’s most difficult seasons.

Aric shares the personal changes he made to become a better husband for Angie—including quitting drinking and surrounding himself with other men to grow in faith and purpose. Together, they talk about what it really looks like to build a marriage the second time around—both before and after loss.

They also share real, heartfelt moments about blending their families, the challenges and the blessings, and how God truly connects people for a reason.

Chadd headed back to Indiana, Drew & Jess were off to North Carolina for a wedding, Rachael came into town—and somehow, Gina found herself holding it all together, helping with the girls alongside three other grandmothers. 😅

Let’s just say… when everyone finally came back together, it was a lot of love… and a lot of togetherness.

They open up about what it’s like being in each other’s space, why 10 days apart might be okay… but 10 days back together can feel like a lot, and how important it is to find balance in marriage and family life.

🌮 Then comes taco night…
 where a simple dinner turns into a powerful and unexpected moment after they ask their server if they can pray for him—and his response? You won’t see it coming.

In this powerful episode of Feathered In Grace & Armor, Gina and Chadd reflect on a meaningful and full week—Holy Week, Easter, and Gina’s birthday—while looking back on their journey through 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting.

They open up about what they fasted from, what they learned, and how this intentional time with God shifted their hearts, their mindset, and their marriage.

Gina shares a heartfelt moment from her birthday, reflecting on the past year, growth, and gratitude. She also tells a touching story connected to Ava’s Backpack—a reminder of how small acts can carry big impact.

But at the core of this episode is a message many of us need to hear:

👉 Stop carrying burdens that were never yours to carry.

Gina and Chadd dive deep into the idea of “over-functioning”—trying to fix, control, and carry things for others that ultimately belong in God’s hands. Gina vulnerably shares how she’s often been the “over-functioner” in their relationship, and together they unpack how this can affect marriage, communication, and emotional health.

This episode is about letting go, trusting God, and finding freedom—for yourself and for those you love.

After thinking we had recorded 30 minutes—only to realize our equipment had other plans—we were forced to start over. And in many ways, that mirrors what marriage often requires…

Starting over. Adjusting. Growing. Becoming.

In this episode of Feathered In Grace & Armor, Gina and Chadd dive deep into one of the most important—and often overlooked—truths about marriage:

👉 You are not the same person you were when you said “I do.”

And neither is your spouse.

The question is…
 Are you growing together—or growing apart?

From the emotional and physical seasons a woman walks through, to the shifting roles, expectations, and needs within a marriage—this conversation is raw, real, and necessary.

Gina opens up about this stage of her life and the need for more gentleness, understanding, and emotional connection, while also sharing a powerful story about her grandfather—someone who showed her what it looks like to evolve in love over time.

Chadd and Gina also confront a hard truth many couples face:
 👉 Do we sometimes try to “fix” or even parent our spouse… instead of loving them as a partner?

Because marriage isn’t about control.
 It’s about connection.

This episode is a reminder that love isn’t static—it’s seasonal, stretching, and sacred.

❤️ It requires grace in one season…
 🛡️ Strength in another…
 🙏 And faith through all of it.

If you’ve ever felt like your marriage is changing… this conversation will meet you right where you are.

💬 Like, share, or leave a review—and tell us:
 How are YOU growing in your marriage right now?

What happens when you intentionally slow down and invite God into your daily life for 21 days?

In this episode, Chadd and Gina share the personal commitments they’re making during their 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting, and why this journey matters to them right now.

Gina opens up about why she’s fasting television and how removing that nightly distraction is helping her create more space for reflection, quiet time, and deeper connection with God.

Chadd gets real about something many people can relate to — fasting from cussing. He shares why he wants to clean up his vocabulary and how words have more power than we sometimes realize.

Together, they break down three simple steps anyone can use to pray, even if you’ve never felt comfortable praying before:

• Gratitude – Thank God for something in your life
• Guidance – Ask for wisdom for your day
• People – Pray for someone else who may need it

The goal of this episode isn’t perfection — it’s progress, intention, and walking the journey together.

Chadd and Gina also challenge listeners to join them for the 21 days, connect with them on social media, and share what they might be fasting or praying for.

The episode closes with Chadd leading a heartfelt prayer for listeners beginning this journey.

Whether you’re new to prayer, curious about fasting, or simply looking for a reset in life, marriage, or mindset… this episode is an invitation to walk alongside us.

You’re not doing it alone.

It might be time to stop criticizing, judging, and inserting our opinions into our kids’ lives.

When our children become adults, something has to change in us as parents. What we often think is “helpful advice” can actually come across as criticism, and before we know it, that criticism begins to close the door on communication.

The truth is… letting go is hard.

As parents, we simply don’t want them to make the same mistakes we made. We want to protect them. Guide them. Help them avoid pain. But sometimes our good intentions send the wrong message.

In this episode we talk about how our role as parents eventually needs to shift:

👉 From Director… to Advisor.
And even then… only when they ask.

One verse that really hit home for me is James 1:19:

"Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry."

Maybe that wisdom applies not just to strangers… but to our own kids too.

We also talk about something bigger—how easy it is to become critical and judgmental of the people around us. Instead of trying to fix everyone else, maybe the better path is to get our own house right with God and strive to live more godly ourselves.

Chadd even shares a moment where a non-believer said something that stuck with him:

"If people would just read the Bible more and actually live by it, this world would be a better place."

Hard to argue with that.

If you're a parent of young adults, or someone who has struggled with knowing when to speak and when to listen, this episode may really resonate with you.

Feathered In Grace & Armor

In this episode of Feathered in Grace & Armor, Chadd & Gina share stories from their recent trip back to Indy, including pulling off a surprise for Rachael’s 30th birthday that she never saw coming. 🎉 They also talk about the joy of reconnecting over dinner and laughter with close friends Taya & Michael, and spending meaningful time with Rick & Mandy, and Matt & Shannon.

Chadd reflects on the importance of checking in on your friends, even when life gets busy—because sometimes a simple call, text, or showing up in person means more than you realize.

This episode is fun, heartfelt, and a challenge to all of us:
 Who are your people… and how are you showing up for them?

Because at the end of the day, life isn’t about convenience.
 It’s about connection.

Is it enough to simply say “I love you”… or is love something that must be lived out through action every single day?

Together, they challenge listeners to take an honest look at their own relationships and ask: How am I making love visible? How am I making love felt? Especially within the complexity of a blended family, where love isn’t always automatic, they explore what it means to choose love intentionally—for your spouse, your children, and even the relationships that require extra grace.

Grounded in Scripture, Gina reflects on biblical truths that remind us love is more than words—it’s patience, sacrifice, forgiveness, and commitment in motion.

This episode is an invitation to move beyond saying love… and start demonstrating it.

Because in the end, love isn’t just something you feel.
 Love is something you do.

Monica shares how the book began as a heartfelt note to her oldest son as he prepared for marriage, and why love alone isn’t enough — marriage requires skills, intentional effort, and practice. The conversation explores how learning your partner’s love language, understanding emotional drivers like the Primal Question, and building real relationship habits can transform a marriage.

They also talk about Monica’s podcast, including her recent conversation with Gary Chapman about his new book, The Love Language That Matters Most, and how those insights apply to couples at every stage. Monica reflects on her son’s reaction to receiving a book written just for him and his bride — and she reveals what she calls the “cheat code” of marriage advice, so be sure to listen all the way to the end.

And we’ll just say this — Monica is absolutely TED Talk ready this year.

This episode is a refreshing reminder that strong marriages aren’t accidental… they’re built with intention, skill, and heart.

Chadd & Gina share an update on the family compound addition, including finding a builder to help bring the vision to life. Gina also opens up about being under the weather the past couple of weeks and the reminder that slowing down is sometimes part of the journey.

The heart of this episode centers around community—why surrounding yourself with people who lift you up matters so much. They talk about taking intentional steps to get more connected at church, stepping into service, and joining men’s and women’s groups at Grace Family Church. Gina also shares her excitement about becoming a co-leader in a women’s group, leaning into purpose and connection.

To top it off, they introduce a special Primal Question Valentine’s Reset for Couples—a guided Zoom experience designed to strengthen communication and connection.

This episode is about growth, faith, service, and doing life together—with honesty, humor, and heart.

They also touch on the power of understanding your Primal Question, and how knowing your emotional drivers can change the way you hear—and react to—others. With authenticity and vulnerability, they talk about why hard conversations are necessary in a healthy marriage. Communicating your needs clearly is not wrong—and if someone chooses to be offended by honesty, that’s something they have to work through.

One truth they reinforce—echoing wisdom from their recent conversation with Dr. Lee—is simple but powerful:
 👉 Marriages take effort. Daily, intentional effort.

This episode is raw, relatable, and a reminder that strong relationships aren’t built on avoiding conflict—but on working through it with grace, honesty, and commitment.

Because real love isn’t perfect—it’s intentional.

They talk candidly about how blending can work beautifully—and how sometimes, despite best intentions, it doesn’t. Different dynamics, different parenting approaches, and unresolved wounds can create tension that runs much deeper than what’s seen on the surface. With empathy and grace, they remind listeners that there’s always more to the story.

This episode isn’t about judgment—it’s about understanding, communication, and support for families navigating complex relationships.

This jam-packed episode of Feathered in Grace & Armor is a special one—Chadd & Gina are thrilled to welcome their first-ever guest: Dr. Lee Baucom, author, speaker, and nationally recognized marriage counselor. 🙌

Together, they dive into why pre-marriage counseling doesn’t always work the way couples expect—and what actually does make a marriage thrive long-term. Dr. Lee brings decades of experience and wisdom as he breaks down his three foundational keys to a successful marriage:

1️⃣ Connect – building real emotional and relational connection
2️⃣ Change – understanding that growth is required, individually and together
3️⃣ Create – intentionally creating the marriage and life you want

This episode is insightful, practical, and packed with “aha” moments whether you’re newly married, in your second act, or simply wanting to strengthen your relationship. It’s one of those conversations you’ll want to listen to more than once.

In this deeply personal episode of Feathered in Grace & Armor, Gina is joined by her daughter, Rachael, for a raw and honest conversation about family, faith, and resilience.

Together they look back at the hard seasons—navigating Gina’s divorce, the things Rachael saw and heard as a child, and how she processed it all in her own way. Rachael shares her unique perspective on what it was like watching her mom step out of her comfort zone, move from singleness into dating Chadd, and how that transition wasn’t always easy for her compared to her older brother, Drew.

They also open up about the realities of blending two families. From starting a group text that never quite clicked, to facing age gaps, distance, and different personalities—the journey hasn’t been picture-perfect. But through it all, there’s been love, grace, and lessons that continue to shape them today.

It’s an unfiltered, emotional conversation that anyone navigating divorce, parenting, or blended family life will connect with.

In this episode, they open up about the post-wedding turbulence that kept their feet planted, and how that unexpected detour ultimately led them to Clearwater, Florida—a place that’s become home, full of sunshine, grandkids, and fresh opportunities.
