Igniting Hope Ministries

Just because we are not fully convinced about God's promises now, it does not mean we are doing something wrong. Join Steve Backlund as he shares how God empowers us to strengthen our beliefs toward the goal of being convinced of our identity, His promises, and our assignments and callings.

Good parents tell their kids every day that they love them. Our Heavenly Father Is a good parent, and He is continually telling us this. If we are not hearing this, we will need to upgrade how we hear from God. This message will help you do so.

God did not give us the imagination to be the devil’s playhouse but to be the womb of faith. Negative worry is imagining your future as if God does not show up. Positive worry is imaging your future as if God fully shows up. In this fun and enlightening message, Steve Backlund shares how to worry with God about your future

God partners with what we give Him to work with. As we release love, prayers, faith, declarations, and other actions, we become catalytic for kingdom advancement. This message will inspire you to be more intentional to influence how much God will do in and around you.
