Igniting Hope Ministries

Our hopelessness about a problem is almost always a bigger problem than the problem. Join Steve Backlund as he helps us identify what to prioritize as we seek to overcome problems or enter into a higher level of God's purpose for our life. 

We all have "sticky situations" in our relationships. Whether it is in our family, at work, in our church, with friends, or with someone else, there are things we can do which will increase the likelihood of our having a positive influence on the relationship and situation. Steve Backlund shares six of these in this timely podcast that will help your influence go to another level. 

Do you ever feel like you don't belong in the role you're in or that you are not good enough for job? That's a common feeling, but false humility and hiding our gifts is actually a form of selfishness.

In 1 Samuel 16, Samuel was neutralized by disappointment. The Lord jolted him out of despondency with new hope for the future. In this message, Steve Backlund will inspire and equip you to overcome disappointment and to move forward in purpose in this incredible season of your life. 

In these challenging times, our beliefs are either going to be an anchor to our soul or they are going to create further problems for us. In this podcast, Steve Backlund shares important beliefs for us to have in this hour.

 "I am an atheist." Levi responds, "Oh, really, that is so exciting. God always shows up when I am around an atheist." Join Steve Backlund as he gives you a key to how to flip seemingly difficult moments into opportunities for God to demonstrate His love and power. 

Psalm 34:3 says, "Oh, magnify the Lord with me. Let us exalt His name together." We cannot make God larger, but we can see Him larger. The more we magnify Him, the smaller our challenges will seem. In this podcast, Steve Backlund shares seven things we magnify instead of the Lord (making God seem smaller and our problems seem greater than they really are). 

Our circumstances, feelings, past experiences, and words we hear are constantly trying to lie to us about our identity, relationship with God, and our potential. In this message, Steve Backlund will inspire you to not receive the negative messages these are trying to send us.
