Why Uncommon
A life worth following
There's a significant difference between having a following and living a life worth following. Uncommon is for anyone who's tired of settling for “just enough” in their work, relationships and walk with Jesus.
Over seven weeks you'll look honestly at your story, discover how God has uniquely wired you, and build a plan to become the kind of person whose life looks, sounds, and even smells like Christ.
Ethos /ˈē-ˌthäs/
A spontaneous, recurrent pattern that is the fundamental character of a person or group. It is what drives them. By the power of the Holy Spirit, ethos is what makes a person contagious. It is the “fire in the belly” where someone takes on the aroma of Christ.

Sweat, Laugh, Cry, Dream
Four practices that cultivate intentional, present relationships. One of the greatest presents you can give is your presence.

You won't do it alone
Everyone has a guide
A guide is a friend for the journey: a safe space to ask questions, voice concerns and work out how to put what you're learning into practice.
Guides check in with you each week, lead your table's discussion, and meet up with you a couple of times over coffee, a meal or a hike.

“I wish for you a magnificent obsession that will give you reason for living and purpose and direction and life. I wish for you the life of the Uncommon.”
Adapted from Earl Reum, “A Wish for a Leader”
