Kari Jobe grew up knowing God was drawing her toward worship. “I remember hearing a worship song that applied perfectly to a family that I knew, and I knew that I wanted to write songs like that, for people who are hurting, songs that people make their own prayer to the Lord when they can’t find words of their own.”
Throughout high school and college, Kari watched God set her path before her as she began leading worship in various places. When Gateway Church in Southlake Texas, her church of 6 years at the time, hired her as a worship pastor after she graduated, Kari was caught off guard. She thought, “Are you sure? Me be a pastor?” But God was right on. She realized how God had purposed her life, giving her the tools to be not only a worship
leader but a pastor.
A featured worship leader on Gateway Worship projects, Living for You and Wake Up the World, Kari released her first self-titled debut CD through Gateway Create Publishing and Integrity Music on February 10, 2009. Early in 2011 Kari signed with EMI Christian Music Group and will release her sophomore project early in 2012. Produced by Ed Cash and Matt Bronleewe the CD contains a collection of new worship songs written by Kari Jobe as well as co-writes with some of today’s greatest worship leaders/songwriters. Leading worship at Gateway and around the country, Kari’s focus for the work of ministry always comes back to people. As she says, “I am moved by people’s lives and stories, and I am amazed by who God is and who He says that we are. Music becomes a way to minister to people in times of trouble, to lead them to the feet of Jesus, who can bring peace, life, hope and healing.”

From the writer of the beloved worship songs Alabaster Jar &, The More I Seek You, comes the book at the heart of this message, How to Worship a King, by Pastor Zach Neese. Zach Neese is the Pastor of Worship Development at Gateway Church in Southlake, Texas, and oversees worship development, discipleship, training and equipping classes. Written in an effort to help define and understand true worship for every believer, this book captures the intimate relationship between a worshipper and God, and reveals truth and teachings of worship communicated in the pages of the Bible. In How to Worship a King, Zach unveils the power and beauty of true worship beyond any known song or melody, and carefully builds understanding and compelling evidence into the intended purpose of worship as a powerful weapon designed by God for the advancement and building of His Kingdom, here on earth.
Embark on this amazing journey of understanding, and be changed by the revelation gained as you allow your mind to see what only your heart has had the capacity to understand: that the power of worship has been deliberately given to change your relationship with God and to effect the way you live your life as a true worshipper and high priest.
"How To Worship A King" will release in February of 2012
