Consumed By Fire is an American Christian rock band formed in 2010 by brothers Caleb, Jordan, and Josh Ward. After starting out independently and then spending time with Inpop Records, the trio signed with Red Street Records and broke into Christian radio with their album First Things First, released in 2023.
Consumed By Fire was born in 2010 around brothers Caleb, Jordan, and Josh Ward, who grew up sharing a common dream of traveling the world to share their faith through music. The band first released music independently, before signing with Inpop Records and releasing the EP Lean On Me in 2015 and then the album Giving Over in 2016, which gave them their first airplay on Christian radio.
The real turning point came with their signing to Red Street Records and the release of the album First Things First in 2023, whose title track climbed to number two on the Mediabase radio chart, followed by Walk With Jesus. Since then, Caleb, Jordan, and Josh Ward have released single after single, including Whole Wide World, Hill To Die On, Higher Places, and What If, a duet with Megan Danielle, while also touring extensively, including a Christmas tour alongside the artist Blanca.

Caleb, Jordan, and Josh Ward grew up sharing the same childhood dream: to travel the world through music and proclaim the Gospel.

After several years spent building their audience on stage, the trio signed with Red Street Records and released the album First Things First in 2023, marking their biggest radio success to date.
What makes Consumed By Fire distinctive?
The band's name, drawn from the biblical image of fire that consumes and purifies, sums up their message well: direct rock songs, carried by the three brothers' harmonies, that speak of surrender and transformation rather than religious perfection. Their sound blends rock with Southern influences, brought to life on stage with an energy the trio has honed through several headlining tours.
Where should you start with Consumed By Fire?
