A NEWSLETTER TO THE FIREBRAND GENERATION
What it means to be a firebrand.
Dear Firebrand Generation,
W
elcome to a brand-new year filled with purpose, opportunities, and divine possibilities! This is not just another year it’s a pivotal moment for us to rise, build, and shine like never before. Together, we are stepping into extraordinary days of influence, impact, and growth. This is the year to dream bigger, believe stronger, and move boldly in the power and purpose of God.
We are the Firebrand Generation those marked by God to ignite transformation in the world. Being a firebrand means embracing a paradigm shift in how we see our purpose and influence.
It’s not just about ministry within the four walls of a church but about dominating in the seven mountains of influence: Family, Religion, Education, Government, Media, Arts & Entertainment, and Business.
This generation is called to be a force of transformation in these arenas, bringing the light of God’s Kingdom into every sphere. We are trailblazers who shine the brilliance of God’s wisdom, power, and love in the places where culture, leadership, and decisions are shaped.
The Paradigm Shift: Firebrands for Transformation
To be a firebrand is to understand that our calling is not confined to religious spaces. The Dominion Mandate given in Genesis 1:28 says:
“Be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion…”
This command is a call to influence, rule, and shape the earth according to God’s will. It means creating, innovating, and leading in every sphere of society. This paradigm shift challenges us to move from the mindset of separating ministry from work, influence, or wealth.
Instead, we see our careers, businesses, and creative ventures as Kingdom platforms, places where God’s power, wisdom, and excellence can shine.
The Firebrand Generation recognizes that dominance in the Seven Mountains of Influence is critical to shaping culture and advancing God’s Kingdom on earth.
Dominance on the Seven Mountains of Influence
God has positioned us as firebrands to dominate and influence these cultural pillars:
1. Family: Building strong families rooted in Kingdom values is foundational. Firebrands shape the next generation through intentional parenting, marriage, and mentorship.
2. Religion: As spiritual leaders and followers of Christ, firebrands restore truth, righteousness, and integrity to the body of Christ and represent His love to the world.
3. Education: In classrooms and institutions, firebrands raise a standard of truth, fostering wisdom and moral leadership for future generations.
4. Government: We need firebrands who bring God’s justice, wisdom, and integrity into policymaking and leadership.
5. Media: Firebrands dominate this sphere by shaping narratives that reflect truth, hope, and inspiration instead of fear and division.
6. Arts & Entertainment: Creativity is a powerful tool for influence. Firebrands use it to tell stories, create art, and produce content that glorifies God and transforms culture.
7. Business: Through wealth creation, innovation, and leadership, firebrands demonstrate excellence, integrity, and generosity, using resources to fund Kingdom initiatives and uplift communities.
Each of these mountains is a platform for dominion and transformation places where firebrands can shine their light and influence society for God’s glory.
Building Kingdom Wealth For Impact
As firebrands, we understand that wealth is a tool for advancing the Kingdom of God. Deuteronomy 8:18 reminds us:
“But remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you the ability to produce wealth…”
Dominance in the business and economic sphere is key to influencing the Seven Mountains. When firebrands build Kingdom wealth, they:
- Fund missions, ministries, and initiatives that expand God’s Kingdom.
- Serve and uplift communities through generosity and resources.
- Create businesses that reflect excellence and godly values, impacting employees, clients, and industries.
Wealth is not an end goal; it is the means by which we create impact, advance the Gospel, and leave a legacy of transformation.
Shinning in Every Sphere
As firebrands, we understand that wealth is a tool for advancing the Kingdom of God. Deuteronomy 8:18 reminds us:
“But remember the Lord your God, for it is He who gives you the ability to produce wealth…”
Dominance in the business and economic sphere is key to influencing the Seven Mountains. When firebrands build Kingdom wealth, they:
- Fund missions, ministries, and initiatives that expand God’s Kingdom.
- Serve and uplift communities through generosity and resources.
- Create businesses that reflect excellence and godly values, impacting employees, clients, and industries.
Wealth is not an end goal; it is the means by which we create impact, advance the Gospel, and leave a legacy of transformation.
