I’m continuing my blog series on the 7 mountains of influence. I interviewed several friends on this week's blog- a pastor, and two entrepreneurs. This headline has appeared all over the news recently: “Economic shutdown worse than the virus.” A month before the pandemic hit in early March and the shut down of the economy, I organized a 7 mountains of influence photo shoot in February. Business and economy happen to be one of the 7 mountains of influence. Anybody else hear the phrase “living in unprecedented times” more often than you would like?

The mountain of family is represented with the color orange, God as the Father/Papa covering the generational bloodline, heritage, and inheritance. The original design for the family mountain is displayed as a covering and a place of refuge, love, and acceptance.

When we partner with and accept these lies of perversion about God and ourselves this creates: - a fatherless generation/broken families - orphan spirit mindset - lo ..read more

Other things competing for the for hea ..read more

The mountain of media is represented with the color red- communicating through love. God’s original intent for the mountain of media: Communicating and proclaiming the truth.

The enemy’s assignment against the mountain of media: To twist the truth and distort the character of God, by bringing confusion and chaos through the platform of media.

My PNW friend, Julia Green wrote this article. Julia is a professor, collaborator, writer, photographer, speaker, and daughter of God. One of the positives of being unmarried is that you’re able to watch and learn from friends who get married before you. One thing I’ve observed is that it’s tough to be a woman and a wife in this culture that teaches you to be egocentric and feminist to the extreme. I’m sure it’s tough to be a man as well, but I’m a woman and I’ve just been noticing some things. Culture says: “It’s all about you! Your career is more important than loving your husband. Your suc ..read more
