Clark and Laura share stories and insights from their time spent serving with one of the most formative ministries for both A Simple House and for themselves personally, Exodus Youth Services. Exodus was based in Washington, DC and focused on leading Bible studies for kids in project neighborhoods. Clark and Laura discuss the impact of meeting those families and how Exodus influenced the starting of A Simple House. (At the end of the episode, Clark mentions an upcoming episode focused on the Catholic Worker Movement. We flipped around the order of our first few episodes, and Ep. #1 of The Simpleton Podcast is now the one Clark is referring to. Go check it out!)
