Igniting Hope Ministries

Transformation does not come from surrendering our heart, but from surrendering our beliefs. In this podcast, Steve Backlund shares his own story of going to the desert to learn to repent (change the way we think).

In Jesus' Matthew 20 parable, the owner of the vineyard paid the workers who started later in the day the same as those who started early in the morning. Drawing from this and his own experience, Steve Backlund gives insight and hope for those who feel behind in life. 

This is a message to equip and inspire us to believe we are a son or daughter of God. As we believe that everything changes.

“The Lord blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake” (Genesis 39:5). Joseph was a slave in Potiphar’s house, yet he was the most influential person there. We don’t need the most important title in the room to be the most influential person in the room. In this podcast, Steve Backlund shares four keys to increasing our Joseph-like influence, so that our families, workplaces, churches, and cities are blessed because of us.

Hope looks for evidence that God is at work. Pessimism looks for evidence that the obstacles are too great. In this podcast, Steve Backlund shares that our circumstances are almost never as important as the conclusion we place on them.
