(Marsha West – Chistian Research Network) Six years ago the Southern Baptist Convention borrowed the Seven Mountain Mandate (7MM) from the New Apostolic Reformation/Dominionism (NAR) to promote the National Day of Prayer. To be clear, the NAR is a theological cult. So those of us involved in online Discernment were gobsmacked when we got wind that the SBC guide contained the same spheres of power as the NAR’s 7MM. Pulpit & Pen (now Protestia) took note and promptly raised a warning flag:
The SBC Executive committee released a guide designed to support members during the upcoming National Day of Prayer. Captioned ‘How to pray the 2020 theme, Pray God’s Glory Across the Earth, into the Seven Centers of Influence in America for the National Day of Prayer, May 7, 2020.‘… (Source)
In summary P&P reported that SBC’s guide was suspiciously like the NAR’s “Seven Mountain Mandate.”
Before I go any further, for those reading this who are asking what exactly is 7MM theology? Back in 2016 I published a piece entitled 7 Mountain Politics and Theology where I wrote: Continue reading

“Regarding the upcoming “Red Summer,” communists point with glee to a 2025 CATO Institute poll which “revealed the extent of this radicalization among the youth,” according to one Marxist group. It found that 62% of 18 to 34-year-olds had a favorable view of socialism – and 34% have favorable views of communism.”

“The Department for Health, however, is supposed to answer to evidence. It now faces a choice: abandon a failing model, or continue an unnecessary experiment on children to placate gender fanatics. The Finnish study must mark the end of the road for Pathways, and for the dangerous fiction of gender-affirming care.”
“When a movement drifts away from Scripture as its anchor and starts orbiting a personality, it doesn’t matter how polished the sermons are or how emotionally charged the worship feels, Christ is no longer the head in any meaningful, governing sense. He’s invoked, sure. Referenced. Sung about. But practically? The gravitational force is the leader.”

“The real story here is how the Democrat Party controls its members through blackmail. It’s got a blackmail file on ALL of its politicians, and it uses them to leverage and control them until it’s time to release it! That is how sick and twisted the Democrat Party is. That’s the next thread we’ve got to pull out here.”

“…Acknowledging that the world would be safer without Iran’s nuclear program would force his colleagues to admit they’ve been wrong for the past 50 days. So instead, they’d rather keep calling it illegal and dumb — and hope Iran just waits them out. That last part is what should disturb every American.”

“Ciaramella cited double or triple hearsay evidence and had no direct knowledge of the phone call but, like a game of telephone, was told about it afterward. Later, the Inspector General, who’s also been referred for prosecution, ignored the hearsay, took his whistleblower complaint form (there’s a suggestion that he swapped it) and never bothered to read the transcript of the actual conversation.”
“I find myself asking—quietly at first, then louder, then not quietly at all: What God? Because the answer to that question is not abstract. It is not philosophical. It is not negotiable. 
“Studies indicate that approximately 35 to 46 percent of pastors identify unrealistic expectations as one of the most challenging dynamics of ministry, with younger pastors reporting the highest levels of strain. Such pressures erode pastoral confidence and can subtly reshape ministry from faithful presence to anxious performance.”
