Description

Welcome to The Simpleton Podcast with Clark Massey and Laura Hehman! Clark is the founder of A Simple House of Sts. Francis and Alphonsus, a Catholic inner-city outreach ministry in Washington, DC and Kansas City, MO. Laura was one of the first missionaries to join the ministry, and is still involved today. The vision of The Simpleton Podcast is to discuss Catholic culture, mission, and politics through the lens of the Catholic laity. New episodes (almost) every Thursday!
