UPPERROOM is a community that gathers morning, noon, and night to minister to the Lord. They exist to minister to the Lord by giving Him our thanksgiving and praise, to worship Him by agreeing with who He is, and intercede by agreeing with what He desires to do in our lives, city, and earth.

We spoke with their Worship Director, Jonathan Lewis, and Oscar Gamboa: writer, producer, and MD of UPPERROOM. We speak on organizing and pouring into a large group of volunteers, their latest release 1350 (and how these album releases differentiate between their Moments releases), and the importance of returning to the place where God first met us.

At the heart of Red Rocks Worship is a singular vision shared by the entire church: to make Heaven more crowded. This is the driving purpose behind everything; from crafting songs that magnify a holy God, to creating spaces where people can encounter Jesus in a real and personal way.

We speak with Tyler Christian Roberts and Kory Miller today about their new album The King is Coming, hear some of the stories that only God can write with our music, and talk about how living as if Jesus is coming back affects every aspect of our lives.

Aaron Williams is a Franklin, Tennessee-based artist and songwriter who is passionate about helping people discover and develop an abiding relationship with Jesus. We discuss his desire for investing in worship leaders through his ministry The Way of Worship, leading in the midst of anxiety, and how his song “Resurrection Hope” emphasizes both the grief and hope we experience each year looking toward Easter Sunday.

“Broken things can become blessed things when we let God do the mending.” We speak with our friends at Watoto in Uganda this week!

Watoto brings hope and healing to vulnerable women and children in Uganda and South Sudan. Their ministry is inherently transformative and their choir has been able to show what God can do: His presence empowering the least of these to not only worship locally, but to sing in places like The White House, The Queen’s Jubilee and more.

We also speak on Brad & Rebekah’s role in this ministry, how they helped start the camp where the songs from their upcoming record were written, how Playback has allowed Watoto to “set the table and then get out of the way” in worship, and their role in the global, redemptive story of Jesus.

Check out their new album, coming May 23rd, and stay tuned until the end to hear how you can support the mission at Watoto!

It is Seph Schlueter's deep passion to awaken people's hearts, help lead others into an encounter with Jesus, and give language to a relationship with God through his music. In 2024, Seph released his debut major label EP, Counting My Blessings, which offers organic pop sensibilities and relatable lyrics that speak to his all-consuming love for Jesus.

We chat with him about caring for our relationship with Jesus amongst changing seasons, and investing in and empowering the next generation of church leaders to be all God has made them to be.

Fred Hammond is one of the most respected names in the music industry. He is a Grammy Award-winning vocalist, songwriter, musician, producer and arranger, and the architect behind the genre of Urban Praise & Worship—a genre of gospel music that did not exist prior.

Fred speaks on the instruments he fell in love with at an early age, the influence of the R&B scene on his work (and how using that influence got him out of his own way in trying to write traditional gospel music), and the role that Christ-centered humility has played in his life and career.

We were honored to host this legend and discuss not only his significant contributions to gospel music, but the aspirations he has for his ongoing legacy.
