Revolution of Ordinaries
What is the purpose?
God put us here with a purpose - the purpose to change the world with the good news of Jesus. This must be done in community. We are here to be part of that community - to bring together people who share the vision of disciples who make disciples who plant churches. This is about ordinary people being used by God in extraordinary ways. This is the priesthood of all believers in action!
How will we accomplish that?
Educate biblically - our actions must be grounded in scripture.
Train skills - Hands on training in skills that can change lives.
Connect - through the community tab, the comments, and social media
What will it look like?
Mobilizing everyday Christians.
Learning and being trained here to go out and put it into practice where you live.
The time to activate everyday believers to be world changers through the power of the Spirit is NOW!
Thanks for being here. I love and appreciate each and every one of you.
- Matt

The social media world was already full of fake.
AI is making this exponentially worse...and harder to spot.
This only accentuates the value of the real and authentic. Take some time to talk with real people. Answer the door. Talk to those God puts in your path. Show a real curiosity and interest in others.
The impact of the real will be greater in a world consumed with fake.

I ran across an older version of David Garrison's Church Planting Movements Book free online. It isn't quite as comprehensive as the one you would buy from amazon but still helpful - web.archive.org/web/20071109103611/http://www.imb.…
PS - Archive dot org says it is temporarily offline so the link may not work at the moment. Try back later if it doesn't work for you now.

I made a list of revivals and some of these circumstances surrounding them. There were a few few lessons learned in the process that I shared in this video. We cannot orchestrate revival, but the truth of the matter is the precursor of revival are things we should be doing anyway.
I would love to hear your thoughts?

8 Steps on the Path of a Transformed Life
If you want to live a changed life, be like-minded with your brothers and sisters in Christ.
If you want to live a changed life, seek unity in the body of Christ.
If you want to live a changed life, stop being selfish and conceited.
If you want to live a changed life, it comes through humility.
If you want to live a changed life, it comes through putting others above yourself.
If you want to live a changed life, you have to empty yourself of yourself.
If you want to live a changed life, start seeing yourself as a servant rather than master.
If you want to live a changed life, it comes through obedience to God.
Here is the proof that all of this is true...
"Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:
Who, being in very nature[a] God,
did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
rather, he made himself nothing
by taking the very nature[b] of a servant,
being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to death—
even death on a cross!
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
Philippians 2:1-11

I keep having to remove people from the comments for being rude and obnoxious. If anyone treats you that way, please let me know. That won't be tolerated.

I love to teach...it is something God has blessed me with. What I have discovered in the last 7 years is that transferring information is not the most effective way to teach. Most of us know the basic information and yet many are struggling to be transformed by it.
There is a needed mindset shift.
From teaching to training...from transferring information to pairing that information with actionable skills taught through modeling.
We need more trainers! This is what I am committing more and more of my time to do and I hope you will consider it as well.
What kind of trainer? Which skills? What does this look like?
Here is a start...would love to hear your thoughts!

Church is a spiritual family. You don't hire the dad or mom. Leadership rises up organically and naturally from within the family itself.

Let me be clear about the Community and comments here - I hope you come to add value, be kind, and listen to others. You are more than welcome to do all of that...anytime!
If you are here to talk over everyone, make false accusations against people and stir up trouble then you aren't welcome here.
I did a quick video on this to set some boundaries - youtube.com/shorts/NVA5uvwp0IU
