As the clock winds down on 2025, Chadd & Gina sit down for a meaningful New Year’s Eve conversation about reflection, faith, and moving forward with purpose. In this episode of Feathered in Grace & Armor, they introduce the idea of choosing your Word of the Year—what it means, why it matters, and how to actually live it out in your everyday life.

They look back honestly on the rollercoaster that was 2025, sharing lessons learned, growth gained, and what they’re intentionally leaving behind. Gina dives deeper into the importance of quarterly check-ins with your spouse as a way to stay connected, aligned, and grounded through every season.

The episode also takes a thoughtful, God-centered look at the Chinese Calendar meanings for 2025 and 2026—wisdom shared with them by their daughter-in-law Jess—and how those themes can be viewed through a biblical lens.

It’s a reflective, hope-filled conversation designed to help you close one chapter well and step into 2026 lighter, clearer, and more intentional than ever.

✨ Grab your word. Leave the baggage. Step forward in faith.
