Backstage With The Simple Church

The Good Stuff with Doug Warner and Robyn Horton

Co-Host Evan Semanco is joined today by Robyn Horton, Do Good Pastor at The Simple Church, as well as Doug Warner, who you might know from his time as an anchor on KSLA in Shreveport / Bossier. Doug is an Emmy winning reporter whose segment, "The Good Stuff", lines up with a lot of what we try to do at Simple Church, and Doug has graciously helped Simple Church with videos for years and lending his talents to #DoingGood with us.

We sit down with Doug to discuss the upcoming Angel Build project, how he first got connected to Katy Build, his first hand experiences doing multiple stories with different families who received homes throughout the years, and how we can continue to #DoGood in 2024.

Apple Intelligence, Ai Beauty Pageant, and More with Blake Lawson

This week host Evan Semanco is joined again by Middle School Pastor Blake Lawson to talk more about how technolgy is rapidly changing the world. On June 11th Apple announced that their operating system is integrating Ai technology including CHATGPT, and if you haven't been using Ai yet it's about to be forced on iPhone users. 

It might not be the world you swim in, but if you have kids or grandkids they're being affected by the technology changes happening faster than ever, and we hope this leads you to have some good discussions!

Would You Rather: Ai Generated Summer Edition

Summer is here and the Backstage with The Simple Church Podcast is ready for a great summer!

LINKS FROM THE EPISODE

Would You Rather Questions:

1. Would you rather have sunscreen that never runs out but smells like fried chicken, or sunscreen that smells like roses but you need to reapply every 30 minutes?
   
   
2. Would you rather have a permanent sunburn on your nose that squeaks like a dog toy when touched, or have your entire body covered in temporary tattoos of beach scenes that come to life and start singing when you're near water?
   
   
3. Would you rather only be able to swim in pools filled with Jell-O or beaches with water that turns into lemonade when you splash it?
   
   
4. Would you rather have a personal fan that follows you everywhere but speaks only in cheesy pickup lines, or sunglasses that make everyone you look at appear as cartoon characters?
   
   
5. Would you rather only be able to wear swim fins everywhere you go or have your hair turn into a different color of the rainbow every time you step outside in the sun?
   
   
6. Would you rather have a magical cooler that always has your favorite cold drink but plays loud mariachi music every time you open it, or a beach umbrella that provides shade but randomly transforms into a giant parasol hat?
   
   
7. Would you rather have a talking seashell that gives questionable fashion advice every time you hold it to your ear, or a beach towel that refuses to lay flat and keeps rolling itself up?
   
   
8. Would you rather have the ability to summon an endless supply of ice cream, but it's always the flavor you like the least, or have a personal cloud that follows you around and rains ice cream toppings?
   
   
9. Would you rather have flip-flops that make farting noises with every step or a swimsuit that changes color based on your mood, but sometimes gets it wrong and turns neon green when you're feeling calm?
   
   
10. Would you rather have a magical beach chair that massages your back but occasionally pinches your toes, or a pair of sunglasses that allow you to see underwater but give you a fish's voice when you speak while wearing them?
