Our special guest on this episode was Beau Hayes, partner in Beauxjax Crafthouse and the Eastbank District in Bossier City and Simple Church Partner. Co-Hosts Evan Semanco and Scott Odom talk to Beau about how he got started with a food truck, barely making it and stories from getting started, how Beauxjax actually happened, and his struggle with alcohol and hitting rock bottom. It's a great story of God working in Beau's life and his family, becoming an entrepreneur, and now using the music venue at Hurricane Alley to help The Simple Church by hosting our Worship Night on October 30th.

Today on the Backstage with the Simple Church Podcast co-hosts Evan Semanco and Scott Odom did something a little bit different! Sunday, August 21st was a Do Good Day, when Simple Church shuts the doors and goes out into the community to Be the Church. August 14th Justin's message challenged everyone to "Get Off Their Donkey" and do good (check out the message below).
This time we focused on schools and projects for teachers and staff that serve schools, and we had hundreds of people go out and #dogood! Scott and Evan talk about the day, then share interviews from people in the Simple Church serving at the different locations and what they were doing that day.
