What is the 'Seven Mountains Mandate' and how is it linked to political extremism in the US?
Briefly

Vance Boelter, who allegedly shot Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, studied at Christ for the Nations Institute, a school linked to the New Apostolic Reformation. This movement emphasizes modern apostles and prophets as leaders in society, advocating for a cultural transformation through the Seven Mountain Mandate. This mandate encourages Christians to influence seven cultural sectors, including government and media. Following the shooting incident, the Institute condemned violence and reiterated its mission to promote the Gospel through compassion and love, drawing scrutiny to the broader movement and its teachings.
The NAR emphasizes the role of modern-day apostles and prophets as authoritative leaders, tasked with transforming society and ushering in God's kingdom on Earth.
After the shooting, Christ for the Nations Institute denounced any forms of violence and extremism, stating that their mission is to educate and equip students to spread the Gospel through compassion and human value.
The Seven Mountain Mandate calls on Christians to gain influence over seven key areas: religion, family, education, government, media, business, and the arts.
The Seven Mountains concept was originally proposed by Bill Bright in 1975, aiming to enable Christians to take dominion in various cultural spheres.
