What is the “Seven Mountains Mandate,” and why does it matter right now?
Join us for a timely and illuminating conversation with Dr. Matthew Boedy as he examines the theological roots, political ambitions, and real-world consequences of one of the most influential movements within contemporary Christian nationalism.
