Rising Stars: Meet Stephen Brewster

Today we’d like to introduce you to Stephen Brewster.

Stephen, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I moved to Nashville in 1996 as a senior in college hoping to find my way in the Christian Music business. God was very kind to me and I enjoyed a fun career in music. My last job in music was as a Sr Marketing Director for a record label. I left the music business to work at a church in Nashville as the creative director. Over the next 7 years, our church grew and I was asked to be part of the executive team leading creative and communications.

In 2018, after a difficult season of life, my wife and I started our company with the intent to help people overcome being overwhelmed. Over the last 5 years, our company has grown and I now help churches all over the country release music, Jackie, is a life coach and experiential specialist, author, and speaker helping people using the Enneagram as a tool.

Can you talk to us about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
I don’t think anyone who starts something new from scratch has a “smooth road”. Beyond the complexities that all new business experience, like everyone else, we had to navigate a global pandemic.

Further, as a creative who operates in a field of business dominated by other creative people, there is always the mental and emotional strain of overcoming doubt and imposter syndrome. Add to that the last two years before we started our business were littered with traumatic experiences we were still attempting to heal and overcome. It’s been a crazy journey.

Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I help churches release music and get their songs as far away from their church communities as possible.

We specialize in helping keep pastors and worship leaders focused on leading their churches and teams and not trying to figure out how to be music business specialists.

With my background as an executive in the music business and an executive pastor in a church, I have a unique toolbox that allows me to connect and serve with teams in a special way.

I’m really proud of the growth that we have seen in some of the teams we are working with. How they are growing, becoming better at their craft, and increasing the influence given to them in order to help create life change.

So maybe we end by discussing what matters most to you and why?
I think what matters most to me is that we always operate in a way that is honest and respectable. We are responsible to help steward the seasons of influence given to different teams and that’s a big responsibility.

We look at what we do more as a ministry than we do as a business. But, at the same time, we do have to run a business and be wise in how we grow, scale, and develop as a team.
