Speak Life Conference
27-29 June 2025 | Brisbane, QLD
BTP Conference & Exhibition Centre
Your words carry power — the power to shape your world, shift atmospheres, and release breakthrough. At the Speak Life Conference, you’ll discover what happens when you align your voice with heaven, declare God’s truth, and fully embrace what He says about you.
Hosted by Glory City Church Brisbane in partnership with Steve Backlund’s Igniting Hope Ministries, this transformative event will help you break free from doubt, silence insecurity, and speak life into every part of your journey — your identity, relationships, circumstances, and calling.
During a weekend of Spirit-led worship, faith-filled declarations, and practical impartation, you’ll gain fresh biblical insight and tools to renew your thinking, strengthen your faith, and activate Spirit-filled words that change lives.

Many believers feel stuck — not because of what they’ve done, but because of what they believe.
As Kris Vallotton writes in his endorsement of Steve Backlund’s book Fully Convinced:
“Our negative belief systems are not resisted but rather cultivated in the dwelling place of our heart and mind. The soil of our decision-making becomes rooted in lies and produces destructive fruit in our lives.”
If you’re ready to break free from discouragement and renew your faith with Spirit-led confidence, this conference will equip you to step into everything God has for your life.
About
The Conference
Speak Life can be a defining moment — a time to realign your words with heaven and see God move in every area of your life.
This conference isn’t just about positive thinking or changing behaviour through words — it’s about transformation through truth. When you renew your mind with God’s promises, you begin to see and speak from His perspective.
Through Spirit-led worship, biblical teaching, and practical tools, you’ll discover how to partner with God’s Word to bring hope, healing, and clarity to your life and the lives of others.
