Steve Backlund goes deeper into last week's podcast content. He shares how there is a test of our beliefs in each trial we face. Every trial has messages in it that test our beliefs. This podcast will shine a light on that and give inspiration to winning these tests of our faith like never before. 

"My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing" (James 1:2-4). In this message, Steve Backlund releases a key revelation on how to activate transformational joy in challenging circumstances.

Zechariah was muted for nine months because God could not trust him to speak around what He was doing. This message explores what it means to be the exact opposite of Zechariah - being a person that God greatly trusts and sends everywhere to speak life into those who are spiritually pregnant with deliverance and freedom. 

Discover the transformative power of encouragement and its vital role in relationships and leadership. The discussion emphasizes the importance of recognizing admirable qualities in others to foster personal growth and community connection. Experience how gratitude and joy shape resilience, and learn to shift from criticism to recognition. Delve into delightful anticipation of God's promises, encouraging a hopeful mindset during waiting periods. This conversation inspires a culture of affirmation that can create lasting change.

We are all empowered by God to break off losing cultures (defeatist mindsets) from our families, churches, cities, business, schools, and more. In this message, Steve Backlund will equip you with beliefs and strategies to make this happen.
