Many years ago, AAMCO Transmissions had a memorable slogan: "Pay now or pay later." Their message was simple. Spend a little money on maintenance today or spend much more repairing major problems later. In this podcast, Steve Backlund unpacks his leadership pillar of intentionality to inspire and equip us to have an investment mindset, not a debt mindset.

One of the greatest areas where we are tempted to be frustrated in our Christian life is believing for something that hasn’t happened yet. In this podcast, Steve Backlund shares one of his most important life habits to navigate these situations with victory.

Melinda and Pieter Lagaay join Steve Backlund to share their incredible marriage restoration and to give a key for breakthrough and growth in marriages.

If we always wait for provision before deciding to do something, we will limit what our lives can become. In this message, Steve Backlund extracts from his book, Fully Convinced: The Art of Decision Making to inspire us to think big in our decision making.

We are all tempted to be ”small” on the inside of ourselves (offended, jealous, envious, selfish, entitled, etc) like the Bible characters of Cain, Joseph’s brothers, King Saul, and the Pharisees during Jesus’ ministry. In this message, Steve Backlund inspires us to go higher in our beliefs when others are experiencing what we want.

Jesus said, ”Do you not say, ’Four months and then the harvest,’ but I say to you, ’Look up and see; the fields are white for harvest” (John 4:35). The belief that it is already happening (in our lives, families, cities, job, schools, etc.) will cause us to see what was missed when we were not hope-filled.

Jesus made a startling statement in John 4:35: “Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest.” Hope people see what is happening that others are missing. Indeed, there is something to partner with that God is already doing in our lives, families, neighborhoods, workplace, school, church, and nation. Join Steve Backlund as he expounds on an important truth for our personal victory and increased influence.

”Then the manna ceased . . . ” (Joshua 5:12). The Israelites faced a major shift in their relationship with God (and in how provision was going to be experienced). It was unsettling, but it launched them into greater maturity and influence. Join Steve Backlund as he gives wisdom and inspiration for when the ”manna” seems to cease in our own lives.

Our brains are wired to change. Modern neuroscience calls this neuroplasticity, which is the brain’s ability to rewire itself through repeated input, focus, and experience. Declarations are a big part of this. Join Steve Backlund in this inspiring message.

Many believers lack victory, not because they do not fast enough, but because they do not ”feast” on hope, truth, testimonies, worship, teachings, biblical meditation, declarations, and the promises of God. Join Steve Backlund as he unpacks this life-launching truth in this podcast.
