***Some sexual content is discussed in this episode. It's not very descriptive, but it would likely fall in the PG-13 category. Viewer and listener discretion is advised.*** Garrett Johnson, also known as "Brother Without Order", is a Catholic speaker and blogger living in the DC area who experiences same-sex attraction (SSA). While some want him to claim that his identity is found in being gay, Garrett has a much different perspective: one that has helped him live a much more fulfilling, truthful, and Catholic lifestyle.

A Simple House is a Catholic ministry that serves project and Section 8 neighborhoods in southeast Washington, DC and Kansas City, MO. Our Catholic missionary work involves meeting people in their neighborhoods and in their homes. Missionaries strive to meet the material and spiritual needs of the poor. While missionaries serve at A Simple House, they live a simple religious life. Each missionary attends daily Mass, says morning and evening prayer from the Catholic Church's Liturgy of the Hours, and makes time for personal prayer and scripture study.
