On any given Sunday, worship leaders spend 30-40% of the time in front of a congregation. They lead the church in song, prayer, and adoration, key elements of the service. How well are these worship leaders prepared? Are they spiritually mature and growing? Are they biblically formed? Asaph's Table is an initiative by Leslianne and Tyler Newberry to address many of these challenges. If you know a worship leader, make sure they hear this.

They occupied unique roles in their day as leaders, patrons, and martyrs in their own right.
