Welcome to The Deacon's Table with Benjamin Schultz. In this episode we define the office of deacon, explain why the church needs this role using Acts 6, and outline the two primary lanes of diaconal ministry: support and mercy. Learn how deacons lead the church in practical care, enable elders to focus on the word, and help the church demonstrate the gospel through organized, wise service.
