The 7 Mountains of Influence

This concept is a framework for Christians to look at the areas of culture over which God wants us to have influence: Church/Faith; Family; Education; Government; Media; Business; and Arts and Entertainment, using a biblical worldview.* Several prominent Christians in the latter half of the 20th century received this revelation of the seven mountains or “spheres” of influence from God, including Bill Bright, the founder of Campus Crusade for Christ; Loren Cunningham, the founder of Y.W.A.M., Youth with a Mission; Francis Schaeffer, a theologian and founder of the L’Abri community in Switzerland; and Senator Michael Crotts, a Georgia State Senator. In the second decade of the 21st century, the Seven Mountains concept was popularized by two pastors, Dr. Lance Wallnau and Bill Johnson in a book which they co-wrote entitled “Invading Babylon: The Seven Mountain Mandate.” For further information on this concept, please see Dr. Lance Wallau’s 45 page pdf document entitled THE SEVEN MOUNTAIN STRATEGY-God is Calling You to Change the World. 

What is your mountain or mountain(s) of influence? Where can you make an impact on the abhorrent anti-Biblical issues prevalent in our culture ?

“The Holy Spirit gives us the authority and power to accomplish God’s will on the earth. The Holy Spirit is an activist, for outside the walls of the church. He reveals the need and brings the solution. As John 16:13 says, He is the spirit of truth and will guide you into all truth.”
