“About 6 months ago, I joined the Uncommon Pursuit community and growth group, which has evolved into Friends Following Jesus and The Daily. It's not an instant game changer, but through the consistency of the daily messages and weekly meetings, I am more motivated and consistent in my own Bible study, wanting to learn more, show up and dig deeper. Having the opportunity to discuss and hear other people's knowledge, experience and perspective is so valuable and is helping me grow spiritually. As a fairly new Christian, I had only 1 or 2 existing Christian friends, (with a 12hr time dIfference too!), so I often felt lost and isolated. I am very grateful to be making new friends through this Community. If you are unsure, give it a try, it's worth the risk!”

“Truly grateful for the rare combination of transparency and intimacy mixed with theologically rich reflection that can be found in these daily devotional messages. We need more leaders like Carson in the church!”

“I deeply value my daily time engaging with Friends Following Jesus. The expositional approach to Scripture, combined with Carson’s insights and thought-provoking questions to share with fellow disciples, has been exactly what I need in this season of life. I highly recommend FFJ to anyone looking for a fresh, meaningful way to deepen their personal devotion and spiritual reflection.”

“The studies bless my heart knowing that we can grow together in love for our savior Jesus. The lessons give me a good framework and direction, knowing we are studying biblical sound teaching. I like the availability of shooting a quick text and saying, "have you read this today? What do you think?"”

“I have found the Friends Following Jesus (FFJ) devotionals meaningful and perfect for daily meditation. But, sometimes certain devotionals sound a clarion call to my heart. They resonate deeply and their message is thought-provoking and/or timely. This week (week of March 16) devotionals were like a bouquet of fragrant flowers. I am trying to inhale them in, imprint them in my head and heart. Everyone has been gifts by the Perfect Giver. This is one of Carson’s - writing to inspire, change, reassure, encourage and sustain those on the road of discipleship.”
