The ETC Revolution. Read up my friends.

As I drive home from an awesome two days of friends and Jesus in the metroplex, I want to further describe the vision God has laid on my heart for this ministry. You have to understand. This blog, as any, can stand alone. If you enjoy the thoughts God has laid on my heart, then by all means please continue to read on a daily basis!

Yet, the ETC is truly about a movement. We launch on a smaller, state wide scale with 15-20 leaders on Monday the 27th of July. Leaders commit to the memorization of two verses a week, and one extended passage a month found and promoted here on the ETC site. Each leader undergoes a 2 week training period simply commiting themselves to the memorization. Once the two week training period is over, team leaders form, lead, and shepherd family groups of peers and believers in their area whom also commit to the memorization found here on the site. Family groups hold weekly ETC Sessions for accountability, friendship, prayer, and to recite scripture.

I see these family groups being used in youth groups. On football teams. In campus ministries, and families. I see them before school starts, after practice ends, and during band practices.

WHY Every Thought Captive?

"I have hidden your word in my heart that I may not sin against you."

I truly believe that the average daily Christian struggle can be overcome by allowing the words of God to be implanted in our head, and then hit our heart. If we don't know what he says, we can't DO what he says. The ETC Revolution was formed around the heartbeat of the following verses:

Psalms 119:11

Proverbs 23:7

Romans 8:6

2nd Corinthians 10:5- Check them out!

The Revolution is one of thoughts. For as a man thinketh, so is he. We are seeking more team leaders, more family members, and more people to be a part! I'm so excited to see what God does as his people put his word into their hearts. He is changing lives, one family group at a time. Come play a part.

Much love,

Matt Allen

THE 'ETC REVOLUTION' IS DEDICATED TO THE MEMORIZATION OF SCRIPTURE AND BEING ABLE TO USE IT TO NOT ONLY ENRICH OUR WALKS WITH CHRIST, BUT TO FURTHER THE KINGDOM OF GOD BY SHARING HIS LOVE AND WORD TO EVERYONE WITH LOVE, COMPASSION, ENCOURAGEMENT, PRAYER, AND WISDOM. ETC STANDS FOR 'EVERY THOUGHT CAPTIVE,' WHICH IS TAKEN DIRECTLY FROM 2 CORINTHIANS 10:5
