Episode 40 Feathered In Grace & Armor: Stop Carrying Their Burdens

Episode 45 Feathered In Grace & Armor: His Timing vs. Our Timeline

In this powerful follow-up to our Pray & Releasing episode, Chadd & Gina dive deep into one of the biggest struggles we all wrestle with… TIME. ⏳ How do we actually think about and use our time? Why does it always feel like there’s never enough of it? And how many times have we caught ourselves saying: * “Where did the time go?” * “I wasted so many years…” * “There’s not enough time…” This conversation challenges listeners to take a deeper look at how time has shaped their marriages, relationships, faith, and spiritual walk. Gina shares a powerful moment from a recent coaching conversation with a client that caused her to stop and completely rethink how we view time and urgency in our lives. Together, they unpack the tension between our timeline and God’s timing, reflecting on the truth found in: 📖 2 Peter 3:8 > “With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day.” God does not experience time the way we do.  He is never late. He is always on time. 💭 A question they challenge every listener with: > Where in your own life have you felt the most pressure around time recently? ✨ Gina also shares how she now has 5 amazing coaching tools available to help guide people through their personal journey, relationships, faith walk, and emotional growth. This episode is thoughtful, honest, faith-filled, and a reminder that maybe the answer isn’t getting more time… but learning to trust God more deeply with the time we’ve been given.
