Seven Mountains and the Business of Missions: How Land Became the Strategy | Jenny McGrath | 554
John and Jenny examine how the Seven Mountains Mandate reshapes modern missions, shifting the focus from serving communities to acquiring land, assets, and long-term institutional power. Drawing from firsthand experiences and historical context, they explore how missionary organizations build self-contained bases, create dependency, and reshape local economies under the language of discipleship.
The conversation traces how business models, donor funding, short-term mission programs, and global networks intersect with dominion theology, raising hard questions about exploitation, transparency, and the real cost to communities on the ground. Rather than abstract theology, the discussion exposes how ideas translate into property, influence, and control across nations.
