Today's conversation on Your True Identity is with Steve Backlund. Steve is an encourager, leader developer, joy activist, and a revivalist teacher. He is the associate director of the Bethel Leaders Network, and together with his wife, is the founder of Igniting Hope Ministries. He has authored numerous books including Declarations, Igniting Faith in 40 Days, and The Culture of Empowerment. Join in with Ray as we hear about Steve's desert experience of lack of hope and joy that brought him to repentance and launched his ministry. Listen as Steve shares his transformation from performing for love and approval that led him on a journey of seeking for inner victory and how his passion and hunger for more drew him into an encounter with a rhema word from the Lord. Be blessed and may you experience your rhema word (see Matthew 4:4) from the Lord for your life and have success in your state of being with God.
