The Clark Report...with John and Val Clark
by John Clark
Have you ever looked around at the state of things to try to make sense of it all — but couldn’t? Maybe you’re just looking through the wrong lenses! At the Clark Report podcast, we seek to look at the world through biblical lenses. Culture. Finances. Marriage & family. Relationships. We believe the timeless truths in the Bible speak clearly to these issues and more. We're John & Val Clark. We're not pastors or ministers -- just committed Christians who love the Lord and love telling others about Him. We'll post a new episode each Wednesday!
