Meredith and Autumn of UPPERROOM discuss stewarding worship music - how a house of prayer navigates the music industry, legal agreements, and financial realities while keeping ministry at the center.

They share practical guidance on songwriting, release strategy (singles vs projects), fair song splits, and the behind‑the‑scenes work that artists often don’t see.

The episode emphasizes heart posture, humility, obedience, and partnering well so songs can be offerings to God and blessings to others.

Brian McCleary joins SongLab to share his worship journey from writing songs alone to leading and mentoring a generation of worship leaders, highlighting the heart of shepherding over the stage.

They tackle the struggle of comparison - overthinking, fear, and seeking approval - offering practical encouragement to choose authenticity, celebrate others, and trust God’s timing and provision.
