Ian Yates Releases “My World Is On Fire” From Upcoming Project
“My World is on Fire” is the second single from Ian Yates’ seventh album ‘Kingdom.’ Yates shares, “this song is about looking at life and some of the things I’ve put on a pedestal or put my trust in that are now on fire. It’s about looking at things I thought were holy, untouchable, or of significant meaning and being disappointed.”

When working on this project 3 thoughts from Henri Nouwen’s book ‘In the name of Jesus’ struck me deeply. They were:
- The temptation to be relevant
- The temptation to be spectacular
- The temptation to be powerful
As I pondered and sat with these for the last 3 years, I am aware of how many times I and others around me have fallen for these temptations. A lot of the songs on the project ask questions about this. This song asks 27.
