From “The Seven Mountains Mandate: Exposing the Dangerous Plan to Christianize America and Destroy Democracy” by Matthew Boedy
What this book will do is lay out the movement’s sweeping plan to Christianize America that now has its champion controlling the levers of government. But the plan long predates Trump. Since the 1970s it has been gaining ground within evangelical churches, schools, and media. And while not secret, advocates of the plan have become so despondent for total cultural power that if they lose one mountain, they revolt. See the 2021 insurrection.
Now that Trump has won again, advocates of the seven mountains mandate have success for all the mountains within reach. But Trump isn’t the only reason for that. Much of the success can be linked to a conservative youth political outreach group started in a small garage in Illinois by a teen more than ten years ago. Now in his thirties and armed with boundless political influence, this man has become the mandate’s heir.
Charlie Kirk, founder and pres ident of Turning Point USA, has continued to inflame the fear of anti-Christian persecution that gave birth to the seven mountains mandate. But he isn’t just repeating decades of talking points that have gained him followers and financial success. He has acted in significant ways to cement the seven mountains mandate as the central organizing element of the Trump era.
