The idea of defining society by Seven Mountains of Influence was first suggested by Bill Bright and Loren Cunningham. They created a Seven Mountain construct as a way to guide prayer for nations and as a blueprint from which to disciple. Commissioning a Lifestyle of Integrity has borrowed their construct, but adapted it to fit our specific purposes.

CLI considers the Seven Mountains of Influence as the core sectors of society where integrity must be established. We train people of integrity to “take their mountain”. What kind of outcome can be expected if corruption dominates a mountain of influence? And what kind of outcome can be expected if integrity guides a mountain of influence?
