    This week post Easter Sunday host Evan Semanco sat down with podcast producer Jordan Phillips who also happens to the audio director at the Simple Church and helped design the setup at Easter. If you were able to attend the service or watch online you saw the LED screens and experienced the band, but on today's episode we take a peek behind the curtain of how a relatively small team of staff and volunteers pull off such an impressive set in a weekend. 
    We also recap all the highlights of a great Easter including our guests The Smallbones, Rebecca St. James, and Garrett Jacobs, and talk about what's coming up at The Simple Church.
