Grow Your Faith, Transform Your LifeÂ
We’re a global community of disciples committed to seeking God daily. We ask honest questions, study our Bibles, and faithfully love our neighbors.Â
We're tired of shallow discussions and easy answers. Rather than formulas or platitudes, we are learning to live our lives with God — even when it is complex, ambiguous, or hard.
Our diverse, caring community stays connected through weekly Zoom calls and active discussion forums. Our comprehensive lessons provide practical insights that help us grow to spiritual maturity. Ultimately, we're relying on God so we can live wholeheartedly for him.Â

Hi, I'm Carson

After 21 years in ministry, I’ve experienced the challenges, failures, pain, and, ultimately, the beauty of a life rooted in God's love. I’ve wrestled with doubt, made progress in recovering from spiritual abuse, and ended up resting in knowing God as God.
My passion is to walk with you and a global community of disciples, responding to God’s care with intellectual honesty, emotional health, and practical service to others.
The Uncommon Pursuit Academy is more than courses—it’s a community. Here, you can ask tough questions, search for satisfying answers, and connect with Christian friends as we journey toward God together.
