Bible Studies For Friends Following Jesus
You know that following Jesus is better together.
We create studies that help you and your friends connect with God, understand the Scriptures, and discern what it looks like to be like Christ in real life.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Gather Your Friends
Invite two to five people you trust to start a weekly Bible study.
2. Pick a Study
Choose one of our twelve Bible studies. They’re all designed for you and your friends to connect with God and his purposes.
3. Follow Jesus Together
Leave the prep work to us so you can focus on knowing God, encouraging your friends, and following Jesus together.
WHAT YOU’LL GET
Bible Studies Designed for Friends
Our studies aren’t lectures to study or feel-good vibes. They’re conversations that connect your group to God’s love in your lives.
At each meeting, you’ll…
Read Scripture together
Talk honestly about real struggles
Discern who Jesus is inviting you to be
Support each other in living out your faith
They’re Biblical, relational, and practical guides for imitating Christ together.
WHAT PARTICIPANTS ARE SAYING
The Paradoxes of the Christian Life Bible study provides us with biblical clarity to some of the most challenging thoughts that we all wrestle with. It provides biblical clarity while being relatable to almost anybody. This course provide us with discussion materials for our weekly meeting and also brings structure to our weekly meeting. We are very excited to be taking this course and we are looking forward to taking other courses within The Uncommon Pursuit platform. - Wendell

12 Steps to God has impacted by spiritual growth by providing a personal and insightful roadmap to understand God, the Word, and how the Holy Spirit invites me to respond. The course has helped me to be more aware of how God is moving in my life while highlighting my own failed attempts at self-help. Using 12 Steps to God has also equipped me to serve my church more effectively. - Alison

ABOUT CARSON
Since I was a young kid, I’ve been trying to follow Jesus with my friends. This led me into over twenty years of full-time ministry, from serving Jesus with college students to working for a global nonprofit.
But no matter what environment I was in, I found that God works in the simple, ordinary, and quiet ways. It’s having friends you can call at 2am because you’ve gotten really real with each other, and helped each other do what Jesus says, especially when it’s hard.
I created Uncommon Pursuit to give friends the tools they need to do this well. No celebrity pastors, just solid Bible studies that help you follow Jesus together.
I live in Atlanta with my wife and kids. I facilitate a group at my church, and I'm finishing my Doctorate of Ministry (D.Min.) at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.
FOR THE CHURCH
