Episode: 21 Days of Prayer & Fasting – Walking the Journey With Us

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.

On our latest episode of Feathered In Grace & Armor, Gina and I dive into a realization that many parents eventually face…

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.

🎙️ New Episode – This one starts off a little raw, a little unfiltered… and completely real—just the way life is sometimes. But it quickly turns into a powerful reminder about the importance of showing up for your people.

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.
