"The word of God is living and powerful” (Hebrews 4:12) In this message, Steve Backlund shares how to access this life and power in your Bible reading by receiving God's "now words" for you leading you into inner victory and increased positive influence.

All of us are tempted to feel bad about ourselves when we see others doing what we do, but doing it better. In this message, Steve Backlund draws from King Saul's unhealthy response to David's success to inspire us to celebrate others and to attach faith to what we are doing now (even if it does not seem as successful as others).

In this message, Steve Backlund shares insights into Jesus' instruction to His disciples to look for a "son of peace" as they traveled into different cities and how it applies to us today. This podcast will give you a significant key for increasing your influence toward the people you are called to positively impact.

We don't withhold approval from a toddler who is struggling to walk. No, we celebrate every step or attempt at making a step. Unfortunately, few apply this principle of celebrating progress to their own lives. In this message, Steve Backlund seeks to convince you of the importance of celebrating ourselves. Get ready to be inspired and equipped for a higher way of living.

There is a hero on the inside of each of us waiting to come out to bring freedom and deliverance to people like never before. In this podcast, Steve Backlund reveals an unsuspecting key to unlock our potential. Get ready to be inspired and equipped in this important teaching.

The most important things we need to hear will sound ridiculous when we first hear them. In this message, Steve Backlund gives you biblical reasons and tools to not allow our experiences to dull us from hearing who we really are and hearing the mind-blowing plans God has for us.

"The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds" (2 Corinthians 10:4). The greatest strongholds hindering the promises of God are in the minds of people, but God has given us weapons of divine power to destroy these strongholds of negative thinking resulting from believing lies. In this message, Steve Backlund highlights one of the most significant, supernatural weapons God has given us in the words "Thank you."

The heroes of faith are in the spiritual grandstands cheering us on. “Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses . . ." (Hebrews 12:1). In this message of massive encouragement, Steve Backlund speculates about what some of our favorite Bible characters are saying to us as they cheer us on in our spiritual journeys.
