Due to power outage complications, we don't have a new episode this week but are re-airing one of our most popular episodes from this year. We are praying for everyone affected by the storms in Shreveport/Bossier and are still without power!
Co-Hosts Scott Odom and Evan Semanco are joined by Greg "The Wolf" Walker and Lead Pastor Justin Haigler for a special Easter episode of Backstage with the Simple Church. Greg helps lead the Simple Church Band, and if you've ever seen him, you might not guess he's a bible nerd but he reached out this week to share some of what God's doing in his life getting ready for Easter.
