Seven Mountain Mandate teachers argue that Christians must reclaim schools, universities, and educational institutions to advance God's kingdom. Although education profoundly shapes people and cultures, Scripture never defines institutional conquest as the church's mission. Dave Jenkins examines the educational mountain through Deuteronomy 6, Proverbs, Matthew 28, Acts 2, Ephesians 4, and 2 Timothy 3. He explains how God shapes the next generation through faithful parents, biblical wisdom, sound churches, gospel proclamation, and ordinary discipleship. Christians should serve faithfully in education, but influence is not dominion, vocation is not ecclesiology, and institutional control cannot regenerate the human heart. Christ commissioned His church to make disciples, not conquer cultural mountains. For more from Contending for the Word, please visit: https://servantsofgrace.org/contending-for-the-word-podcast/
