Enduring Fire brings together a remarkable collection of 21 writers in a groundbreaking contribution to the conversation surrounding Pentecostal and Spirit-led worship environments.
This book begins with a practical challenge to the reader to examine his or her preparation process before stepping onto the platform. Are we consumed with insecurity? Do we constantly compare our gift to others? How do we bring a healthy version of ourselves to church ministry? Part two examines rehearsal culture and explores ways that the worship team can come together to meet a vital need for community in the 21st century. The conversation continues with an honest look into the often-unexplored concept of how we engage the voice of God while leading the room effectively. The final part of the book is a challenge to endure through disappointment and ministry challenges.
Writers include Kevin Howard, Choral Director and gospel influencer at Urshan College; Elenee Young, songwriter and Canadian Selah Music award nominee for Female Artist of the Year; Mark Condon, Pastor and church planter who established his early ministry as a songwriter and artist serving churches across many denominations; Laura Payne, the Heart of Worship Ministries founder, and professor of Music at Urshan College; Gene Holley and Dr. Tom Trimble are both lead pastors who are creatives themselves. The other 15 contributors brings years of investment in the ministry as artists, songwriters, worship leaders, leaders and pastoral-team members.

ENDURING FIRE: CONVERSATIONS FOR SPIRIT-LED CREATIVES AND WORSHIP TEAMS
In 2023, a group of songwriters from across the United States and Canada gathered in Columbus, Ohio for a collaborative writing session with Infinite Church, pastored by Mark Condon. Over the course of a week, these writers came together with a shared vision—to create new songs for the church.
Since the album’s release, several of these songs have been picked up by other artists and ministries. Lee University, under the label of Daywind Music, has recorded Our Cornerstone. Forever We Will Sing is featured on Brooklyn Tabernacle’s Grammy Award–winning album, I Will Not Be Moved.
