It's Finally Here: Introducing The Uncommon Pursuit Academy


It's Finally Here!

Hi Reader,

(Read to the end for a nice surprise).

Are you zig-zagging through life?

You hear a sermon and go in one direction. Then you talk to a friend and go in another direction.

As a campus minister, I often saw students go on a weekend retreat and make monumental decisions to live for God.

Three weeks later, they might confess they’d started dating someone, and things weren’t aligning with Biblical ethics.

James talks about how Christians can be blown and tossed by the wind (James 1:5-8).

We become reactive to our circumstances, the opinions of our community, and whatever our heart tells us to do. It’s an unstable, unfulfilling way to live.

So, how do we get grounded in God - for the long term - for the rest of our lives?

First, we need to study the Bible consistently - so we understand who God is and what it means to live as his disciple.

Second, we’ve got to have a supportive community to help us through the hard times.

Third, it’s critical that we personally evaluate our lives and decide that we want spiritual growth.

I’ve baked all these elements into the Uncommon Pursuit Academy.

It’s a step-by-step pathway for wholehearted Christians to study, connect, and grow.

It’s a learning environment where you will get personal attention from me and trained moderators.

It’s an encouraging community where you will meet like-minded Christians from all around the world.

I provide inspiring prompts so you’ll remember why it’s so important to know and follow God.

In the Academy, I’m sharing with you what I’ve personally taught hundreds of college students about walking with Jesus.

It’s the distillation of the best insights from my M.Div. and D.Min. degree programs.

It’s the foundational approach to life that helps me create the weekly essays and videos.

After registering, you’ll get unlimited access to eleven courses and three hundred lessons in an interactive community of wholehearted Christians.

Do you want to invest in a growing relationship with God?

Gratefully,

Carson

Hi Reader, On Tuesday, I gathered with Uncommon Pursuit's Community Partners to discern how we would respond to God's love this year. To my delight, we felt prompted to focus on how God transforms us into Christlikeness This is particularly gratifying because I decided not to suggest any agenda items. Yet, what the group wanted to do is 100% aligned with the focus of my Major Project that I am working on for my Doctor of Ministry degree! So here's what it looks like... Drumroll, please......

Hey, On Friday, November 12, 2021, I launched Uncommon Pursuit with a mix of hope and hesitation. I was still recovering from the RZIM debacle, and I wondered: Can I invest my heart into loving and serving people again? It felt uncomfortable, but I knew it would be better to risk having my heart broken again than to give up on telling people about Jesus. Three years later, I'm amazed by what God has done through our community: 12,000+ posts on 1,700 different topics 6,000+ free copies of "12...

Hey, Have you ever tried to cram for Christmas? It's December 23rd and you realize you haven't really thought about what it means that God became a human being. Or, worse, you have, but it just seems like old news. Why do we have to pretend like Jesus being born is new information? Yea, I heard about the Christmas story before. About five dozen times. I've heard how it ends. I got it already. Here's what I've found. I have to intentionally choose to go the other direction. Instead of thinking...
