Romans 12:2 says, “Be transformed by the renewing of the mind.” Our current mind renewal creates our future experience. The key to biblical mind renewal is choosing to think and speak at a higher level than what we’re experiencing. In this teaching, Steve Backlund shares powerful, practical steps on how to renew your mind with biblical truth, to change your life.

This is our 100th podcast! We’re celebrating by sharing about our upcoming 30 Day Declarations Experiment, an annual event in which we challenge believers to speak 100 declarations a day for a month. Over 3,000 people joined us last year for this experiment on speaking life. Learn more about this upcoming event, the power of declarations, and receive new encouragements from Steve on this podcast.

Steve Backlund reads the “It Will Get Easier” devotional from his book Victorious Mindsets. It is a revelation he received during a season when he was frequently riding his bike. You will be inspired to overcome “it will always be hard for me” lie.

Paul Manwaring from www.paulmanwaring.com often says, “We are not to build a structure and ask God to fill it, but we are to find out what God is doing and build a structure around that.” Whether in our personal lives, our families, or in our ministries & organizations, the key for us to see what God is already doing and partner with it.  In this message, Steve Backlund will inspire you about this truth and give practical ideas for advancing in it.

Shame is a painful consciousness of guilt or shortcomings. We all experience it. In this message, Steve shares about some of his own battles with shame. You will laugh, be able to relate to him, and you will get inspired to courageously overcome your own shame battles.

Steve speaks to those who are feeling like speaking life is not working for them. The four truths he shares for them will also be helpful for all those who are using declarations as part of their life journey.

We cannot change what we experience without changing what we believe, and we cannot change what we believe unless we are hearing something higher than what we are experiencing. “God gives life to the dead by calling those things that are not as though they are” (Romans 4:17). One of the greatest purposes of making declarations and for prophetic ministry is to hear truths higher than the facts of our experience. This message will inspire you to value this hearing like never before.
