Hey, I’m Carson
I feel like I’ve made every mistake you can with God: I’ve been legalistic, passive, skeptical, sinful, and burnt out. And I’ve endured spiritual abuse and disillusionment.
Yet somehow, I’ve continued to experience that God loves me.
I’ve earned an M.Div. degree at Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary and am studying for a D.Min. degree at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School.
I served hundreds of students in campus ministry for ten years, including seven years at Harvard College.
When I worked at RZIM, I founded and developed an online community that hundreds of thousands of people visited to find answers to their questions about Jesus. In January 2021, I resigned to advocate for survivors.
Since launching Uncommon Pursuit in November 2021, thousands of struggling Christians — from around the world — have taken our courses and downloaded our books to grow into strong Christians.
Do you want to become a strong Christian? Connect with God and a friend by signing up for our free daily Bible study.
“I have every confidence that Uncommon Pursuit will be a blessing to people who are seeking to understand Christian faith more deeply and desiring to live it out more fully.”

It’s a detailed series of lessons that will teach you how to develop your plan for lifelong spiritual growth.
A lack of understanding about true spiritual maturity can set even the most sincere follower of Christ on a path of failure and discouragement. Spiritual maturity can sometimes seem hopelessly unattainable. 12 Steps to God has led me to a renewed hope of growing in spiritual maturity by highlighting some of the most significant and actionable steps I could take for a lifelong pursuit of God. It is deeply convicting and has helped me develop a sound biblical perspective about Christian spiritual growth. 12 Steps to God offers a fresh start for those feeling disillusioned with modern Christianity.
12 Steps to God has impacted my 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 whilst highlighting my own failed attempts at self-help. Using 12 Steps in my personal study times and the online community has also equipped me to serve the local church more effectively.
I loved this course. I just happened on it while searching for something to study. The questions that were given to me in the 12 Steps were difficult. They were not simple yes or no questions. They required me to be honest with myself, to reflect and to dig more deeply into my walk with Christ. I realized some things that I need to work on. I am grateful, this course has really helped my faith to grow. Thank you.
12 Steps to God was amazing! So much so I decided to teach it to my Bible class. It shows the practicality of the search for God and it shows that the author did due diligence to his topic.
