We explored the Mountains (or Spheres) of Influence—the God-created systems that govern how society moves, grows, and is shaped. Every person operates in one or more of these mountains, whether by employment, inheritance (spiritual or natural), proximity, passion, or even simple desire and hobby. God often draws people into a mountain because there is impact, influence, and spiritual responsibility tied to your prayer tools and purpose. Accepted Mountains of Influence - Business (Trade & Finance) - Arts & Entertainment - Media - Government - Family - Education - Religion However, we go deeper. We drill into 12 expanded mountains, because modern society functions with more nuanced systems: 1. Marriage & Family 2. Church (Ecclesia) 3. Government & the Military / Law & Justice 4. Trade & Finance (Business) 5. Religion & Philosophy 6. Education / Editing & Publishing 7. Charity & Not-for-Profit 8. Health & Science / Technology / Mental Health 9. Media & Entertainment / Arts / Travel 10. Sport & Recreation 11. Customer Service / Service / Sales 12. Other (emerging mountains or unique callings) Mountains Panel, bringing practitioners and leaders together to help you discern where and why God has placed you. Why These Mountains Matter Every system—businesses, communities, governments, families, nations—operates inside these mountains. These spheres shape the flow of money, culture, innovation, and influence. When you understand your mountain, you understand: - Your placement - Your authority - Your spiritual assignment - Your influence in the world This is Kingdom strategy, not coincidence. You will learn how to identify your mountain by: - Your employment path - Your natural or spiritual family inheritance - Your proximity and environment - Your passions and desires - Your intercessory burdens - Your hobbies or emerging curiosities that signal God’s pull Because God positions you where He needs influence.
