Last Chance (and Insider perspectives)

Published almost 2 years ago • 2 min read

Hey Reader,

As we wrap up our launch week for the Academy, I wanted to share the insider perspective with you: what course participants think of the experience.

Here are three reviews I've received about our courses:

I know one thing: these results are not about me. They are about the participants and their openness to God's love.

When I read feedback about the courses, here are four themes I noticed:

  • They engage people's hearts
  • They get people thinking
  • The lessons are clear and accessible
  • But each course invites you into the depths of knowing God, drawing people back to take them multiple times

Of course, everyone's journey is different.

These stories represent just a few of the experiences our members have had. But I hope they give you a glimpse into what's possible when you join the Uncommon Pursuit Academy.

If you're ready to start your own journey of growth and transformation, there's still time to join us. For this final day of our launch week, you can still get $25 off your first year when you sign up for the annual plan:

I can't wait to welcome you into the community and hear your story.

gratefully,

Carson

Our Foundations

We believe God's unconditional love makes us beloved sons and daughters. Secure in our heavenly Father's care, we are free to be curious, honest, and wholehearted in our response to God's grace.

We believe friendship is the essential context for spiritual growth. We intentionally build trustworthy relationships with each other so we can become like Christ together.

We believe following Jesus is a whole-life commitment. Empowered by the Spirit, we aim to live like Christ everywhere, all the time.

Our Vision

Every disciple following Jesus with their friends.

Our Purpose

We equip friends to imitate Christ together through conversational Bible studies.

Our Values

Our rhythm for friends becoming like Jesus is simple, relational, and transformative:

  • Ask → We engage Scripture and life with curious, caring questions.
  • Discuss → We develop mutual, wise vulnerability in trusted friendships.
  • Do → We practice shared, Spirit-empowered obedience.

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......
