Bring After the Storm to Your Church
A biblically grounded marriage initiative designed to help couples heal, rebuild trust, and grow together—without overwhelming your pastoral team.
Marriage care is sacred work.
After the Storm was created to help churches walk with couples through real pain—without replacing pastoral authority or clinical care.
In this brief message, I share the heart behind the initiative and how churches can steward it well.
— Dr. Derrick L. Smith
