In this episode of Feathered In Grace & Armor, Gina and Chadd open up about a tough but honest topic: moving in together before marriage—and into a home that carried the weight of a previous relationship.

They share their personal experience of moving into a house that had once been shared with an ex-spouse, how they tried to start fresh by remodeling almost every room, and why—despite their best efforts—it just didn’t work for them.

This episode isn’t about judgment; it’s about discernment. What works for some couples may not work for others. For Gina and Chadd, the emotional and spiritual atmosphere of a home truly mattered.

If you’re thinking about moving in together, merging past and present, or wrestling with the “should we or shouldn’t we?”—this is an honest conversation you don’t want to miss.

In this follow-up to last week’s wedding episode, Gina and Chadd take you on the next chapter of their journey—the honeymoon… that never was. 😅

From how they met (shoutout again to Sleepy Bear and Scott Pressler!), to the surprise proposal, to their beautiful Nashville wedding, the plan was simple: celebrate and take off on a dreamy honeymoon. But, as life often does, another curveball came flying in.

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. Through it all, they kept their faith rooted in God’s plan—even when it looked different than their own.

You’ll laugh, you’ll relate, and you’ll be reminded that sometimes the best chapters come from the unplanned pages.

In this special episode of Feathered In Grace & Armor, Gina and Chadd take a walk down memory lane as they reflect on their unforgettable wedding day in Nashville—just shy of three years ago, this coming August.

With only 50 of their closest friends and family gathered, they share how they intentionally kept the guest list small, meaningful, and centered on love. From planning their dream day in Music City, to the unexpected turbulence that hit even on the wedding day, this episode is filled with laughter, vulnerability, and wisdom about what truly matters.

They give a special shoutout to their dear friend Scott Pressler, the very reason they met—at the Sleepy Bear before a Zac Brown Band concert! Sometimes God uses the most unexpected places to change your life forever.

Gina and Chadd remind us that while no day—or marriage—is ever perfect, keeping faith at the center is what makes it unshakable. Whether you're planning a wedding, reflecting on your own big day, or just love a good love story rooted in grace and grit—this episode is for you.

💬 Don’t forget to like, heart, or leave a review! Your support and encouragement mean the world to us—and we’d love to hear how God is working in your story too.

Set the scene… think Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds. Glamour. Charm. A concert under the stars.

Then — complete stop.

Because this was nothing like that. Or… was it? 🤔

It’s all about perspective. In this episode, we take you inside the night before Gina’s daughter’s bridal shower, a Thomas Rhett concert, a house full of friends, a surprise proposal, and some very real feelings about timing, love, and doing life our way. 💍🎶

In this continuation of Episode 3, we dive deeper into the real-life challenges of loving someone through life’s messiest seasons. From struggling to stay connected during weeks apart, to navigating over a year of long-distance love, we open up about how hard it was — and how worth it it’s been.

We talk about the divorces we both went through, the pain of starting over, and the beauty of finding "your person" when you least expect it. But as most couples know, it’s not always just about you two. There are families, friends, and even relatives who seem to need their stamp of approval on your relationship.

Raw, honest, and real — this episode is for anyone who’s ever had to rebuild, re-learn love, or fight for something they knew was right in their soul.

🕊️ Press play — grace, armor, and all.

How we met...

Join us as we share the not so romantic or warm introduction that brought us together seven years ago. It was not expected, it was not picture perfect, quite the opposite, however it was the start of something neither one of us were anticipating or expecting.
