In this powerful solo episode, Gina takes the mic and brings you right into a beautiful Indiana wedding with her beloved “Turtle Tribe.” 🌿 She reflects on the faith, love, and authenticity she witnessed in the young men and women there—and why it’s so vital for adults to continue modeling godly living for the next generation.

One moment that struck her deeply? When the groom’s father said he wasn’t concerned about how the day went—but about how his son and new daughter-in-law would live out their marriage in the real world. 💍 Because weddings are just the beginning—what comes after is where faith, commitment, and community truly matter.

Gina dives into why marriage is sacred, how asking for help from wise mentors can strengthen your union, and why silence in the face of a struggling marriage may be one of the biggest disservices we can do to one another.

✨ This episode is a reminder that marriage is not just about two people, but about a faith-filled community lifting each other up, holding one another accountable, and walking together in grace.

Why is it that as parents, we’re so quick to make our kids say “sorry”… even when they don’t understand why? In this episode of Feathered in Grace & Armor, Chadd & Gina dive into the heart of what a real, authentic apology looks like—whether in parenting, marriage, or everyday life.

They unpack why a forced “sorry” misses the point, how we can guide our children to understand empathy and accountability, and why in marriage, the difference between a quick “sorry” and a true apology can make or break trust.

💡 If you’ve ever wondered how to move past pride, take ownership, and build deeper connections with the people you love—this conversation is for you.

It’s a real, honest conversation about slowing down, reconnecting, and remembering what truly matters.
