In this incredibly powerful episode of Feathered In Grace & Armor, we are honored to welcome Aric & Angie from their podcast, Blended Blessed & Always a Mess.

They open their hearts and share their journey into their second act—a story filled with love, blending families, and deep faith… but also unimaginable loss.

Just a year and a half into their marriage, they faced the heartbreaking loss of their daughter, Hallie. In this episode, they speak candidly about how grief changes everything—for better and for worse—and how they had to make a choice to fight together, not apart, through one of life’s most difficult seasons.

Aric shares the personal changes he made to become a better husband for Angie—including quitting drinking and surrounding himself with other men to grow in faith and purpose. Together, they talk about what it really looks like to build a marriage the second time around—both before and after loss.

They also share real, heartfelt moments about blending their families, the challenges and the blessings, and how God truly connects people for a reason.

This episode is about resilience, faith, and commitment to the journey—because as they say…

👉 “We’re playing the long game.”
