Sons of Asaph - A Worship Podcast

In this episode, we dive into the heart of worship leadership with a lighthearted yet meaningful discussion on Leading Like a Big Softie . We explore what it means to be an effective leader, offering practical tips on communication, consistency, and caring for your team. Through fun examples—like trying to direct a worship team that’s as unpredictable as a group of cats—we illustrate the importanc...

I'm continuing a fantastic conversation with Prentice as we dive deeper into the wide world of worship in the Philippines, in the arid desert of Utah County, and his work as a youth leader helping teens develop a passion for worship music. getting back to the Heart of Worship is a real theme throughout our discussion. There is never a dull moment when it comes to hearing Prentice talk about h...

A  little different than the last episode, at least the room wasn't stuffed full of a bunch of hot bodies. I got a chance to sit down with my good friend Prentice and get his take on all things worship. We find out that our stories have some similarities. But I think one of the biggest parts is....... you'll have to listen to part two to find out. Thanks and Blessings Support the show

As Promised here's the rest of the interview with our friend Jonathan Blair. It was such a great conversation full of so many wisdom nuggets that we couldn't fit it into just one episode. So in this continuation we wrap up our conversation with Jonathan and then the three of us podbods stick around for some reaction time to our conversation. I was truly amazing. As always, thanks for joi...

Been a long time coming. Here is the first installment of the audio from our interview with Jonathan Blair.  It gets into the weeds with stories of Hurricanes and Fleas, but don't worry, we're still the same old hosts filled with donuts holes and little golden nuggets of mostly useful wisdom.  Thanks for joining in on the conversation. We hope you find some form of life in this muddy mes...

After many piles of hate mail and angry emails, we are finally going to start doing what we've always done......continue to post randomly timed episodes that have no real rhythm about them. This way we never have a consistent way of growing our listener. For reals tho, We are shifting gears and planning for the future. This is not farewell for the Sons of Asaph, this is "see you soon&quo...

Today on this episode we delve deep into the heart of worship leadership, exploring the transformative journey from imitation to authenticity. Eric and Adam don't tread lightly as they have a thoughtful conversation about the significance of being original and genuine in the worship, free from the constraints of mimicking or copying others. We don't claim to be seasoned worship leaders b...

I Double Dog Dare You Not To Smile While Listening To This Episode If you are used to the stuff from our regular episodes then this probably won't surprise you. If you're new here, might I suggest starting out with a different episode to get to know us better before we completely ruin our chances. We really put our trust in the wrong thing and ended up answering some wild questions. You...

As my kids would say "remember back in the old'en days." and then I would proceed to ground them from something for swearing like that. For reals tho, it's like the old days when Sean and I would spend an hour picking on each other. We really do need Eric to keep the peace. This one we take a good look at ourselves and what we bring to the alter in worship. Is it our most preci...

I'm sure that even just reading that title makes your skin crawl. We are confident that we're going to get a mixed bag of reactions. But don't worry, we pick on ourselves and our own experiences in charging for serving (cringe). As leaders, whether you are just serving in your home church or helping out somewhere else, it's important to keep the right kind of heart about servin...

It's not too uncommon for something to come out of left field when it comes to planning for the best Sunday ever (or whatever day cuz Jesus is every day).  How do you overcome the challenges?  If you're down a leader or maybe some equipment isn't working, someone got a creative bug and wants it today, or just not feeling it today?  The enemy loves to make things difficult. But we wo...

Philippians 2:2 "One Heart and Mind" We wrapped our vision topic this week. And got a chance to really dive deep into the need for VISION in every sort of organization whether that's a church, or business, or cause, without a VISION you are just Blind leading the Blind. But it's also not quite that serious because we're a bunch of immature dudes hosting. Not only do we dis...

Being that we recently brought in a new voice (Eric Munoz) to the podcast, we decided while he was away that we would do a little Worship Team Draft.  Don't worry, you're not getting replaced. This was a fun talk about how we each would build up our worship teams, who would be our draft picks, and how our team culture would create a winning season and possibly take us to the super bowl o...

Happy Belated 50th Episodiversary! I know, I know..... it's on the 51st episode but we missed mentioning it in the last one. We start falling off the rails right at the front of this episode but it's okay cuz we have Eric back again and he seems to help ......... perpetuate the problem. We really should get someone in here to keep us in line. Habakkuk 2:2 is our bible verse. We talk abou...

Psalm 100:1-5 was the text we used now for the last few episodes. We actually didn't do this on purpose but it worked out this way. Or we lack any sense of creativity and variety with our bible verse usage. But this episode was full of fun. We are wrapping up our Sound Tech Series with an interview turned audition with our good friend Eric Munoz . If you want to feel like you know absolutely...

Psalm 98:4-6 Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth; Sing praises to the Lord with the lyre, with the lyre and the sound of melody! With trumpets and the sound of the horn make a joyful noise before the King, the Lord! I think these verses were talking to the sound team cuz without them there is no joy in worship. They make sure that the song is heard by everyone (sometimes loudly). The so...

 I better get this episode out pretty quick. Since I released Ep49 the other day. But who's counting anyways.  This is actually the first of three episodes about Sound Team, Sound Techs, Soundboard life, being Sound Bored ;) Our verse is Psalm 100 and Romans 12:1&2 talking about a Joyful noise with gladness, thanksgiving, and praise. While presenting ourselves and how we serve as a living...

Have you ever wondered how to apply God's word in the work place? What about when times get difficult; how does the Bible address our hard work? We talk about doing all things for the glory of God. 1 Cor. 10:31 - 33 and Col. 3:23 Don't worry my friends, the rest of the episode just comes off the rails. We wanted to talk about soundboard problems (kinda like troubleshooting) but ended up...

So I need to start off this episode with an apology. Not because I am extremely unreliable when it comes to releasing these episodes; I'll own that problem some day. But today I have an apology that has some pretty important context. I'M SORRY ZZ Top FOR COMPLETELY FORGETTING THE SONG I WAS HUMMING (La Grange). Now that that is out of the way let's get into this episode. This one is...

These episodes are so spaced out right now that there really is no rhyme or reason to our topics. Except for this one was waaaaaaaayyyyy longer than other past episodes. Pretty sure this one beats the record.  Um, it's also way worth the listen.  Listen in as we talk about pre-recording recording, flat-earthers in space, Oprah's pastoral giveaways (maybe even a new denomination), and how...

Admit it, you sang our title line didn't you? In a perfect world you were hoping you had heard the last of us. But don't you worry little fella... (in menacing voice) We're just getting started.....Mwa hahahaha! We are BACK! We had to take a break for a few months but now we are back at it. We've made a couple changes but it's still the same old dorky podbods from before....

Oh my goodness it's been a while since we've posted an episode. And there is really no good excuse as to why. But this episode was on the heels of our last episode where we turned our attention to pick on the congregation. Hopefully we don't hurt too many feelings. We also talk about Sundays, a good pod hack, where there's people there's poop, church planting, worship team...

Over the last few 40 or so episodes we have covered an array of topics but never have we ever turned our attention to the people we are called to lead. That's right everyone, we're picking on you today! Okay, not really picking on you.  What we wanted to do for the next few episodes is cover the idea of being a worshipper. What is it like from the pews, seats, bleachers, or lawn chairs? ...

Clothes have this amazing ability to ignite the hearts of many but unfortunately for all the wrong reasons. Yep! You heard that right, we're stripping down (NO), we're taking it all off (still NO), we're getting down to the Nitty Gritty (that works) on all things worship clothing.  It seems there is a wide variety of opinions when it comes to proper worshippy wear. From full suits,...

Ever had one of those moments when you have an amazing plan in place, ready to get going and then you don't accomplish one bit of it. We totally had something else we were going to talk about in this episode but fortunately we redirected to talk about all our feels about Christmas. Not to mention our thoughts about certain Christmas stuffs that should be canceled. We also talk about trouble s...
