About This Episode We are back, and on video again! In this episode we share why the podcast went quiet and what the start of 2024 held for our family: Aaron's dad in the hospital, the death of Aaron's brother just days after a long phone call about the gospel, and over a month in California grieving with family. We talk about learning to simply be present for those who are grieving, without having all the answers, and about celebrating Jennifer's birthday and our 17th anniversary in the middle of it. Then we introduce our new eight-week series on the power of words. From Genesis to John, the Bible is full of words that create, encourage, transform and heal, and we want to study Scripture on the tongue and learn to steward our words well.

About Aaron & Jennifer Smith Aaron and Jennifer Smith are the founders of Marriage After God and authors of Husband After God, Wife After God, and Marriage After God. Married since 2007 and raising six children in Bend, Oregon, they started Husband Revolution and Unveiled Wife to share what God was teaching them, not from a place of having it figured out, but as fellow travelers pointing couples back to Jesus.
