In a special episode this week we had guests on Backstage with the Simple Church, co-host Evan Semanco was joined by Do Good Pastor Robyn Horton after her message "Love Does", and the Warden of the David Wade Correctional Center in Claiborne Parish, Michele Dauzat. Robyn takes a deeper dive into Matthew 25 and has a longer conversation with the Warden about why they have chosen to partner with The Simple Church, how she became the only female warden of a male facility in Louisiana, and how Michele's faith led her to do the work she does.
