Seven Mountains, One Lie: The N.A.R.’s False Kingdom Agenda

John and Jed discuss the roots and dangers of Christian dominionism, tracing its evolution from early Pentecostalism to the Latter Rain movement, and finally into the modern New Apostolic Reformation. They explore how apocalyptic beliefs about escaping this world gave way to doctrines of earthly conquest and dominion, influenced by racial politics, Cold War nationalism, and Christian Identity teachings. John details how this transition was not just ideological but deeply political, as movements began targeting media, education, and government to assert control. They draw disturbing parallels between historical white nationalist strategies and today’s Seven Mountains theology, highlighting the repetition of history and its increasingly global impact. The conversation exposes how seemingly spiritual teachings often mask authoritarian and exclusionary goals. Jed reflects on his own upbringing and the use of militaristic language in Christian songs and sermons, arguing that these narratives condition believers to accept conquest-oriented ideologies. Together, they dissect the contradictions between dominionism and the teachings of Jesus, noting how spiritual authority becomes a tool for manipulation and even violence. They reference specific examples—from anti-LGBTQ legislation in Uganda to tragic acts committed under serpent seed doctrines—showing how dangerous rhetoric can turn deadly. The episode ends with a warning: Christian dominionism is incompatible with democracy, and history proves that those who seek total control inevitably turn on each other.  Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR: Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962  Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K
