Why are we building Uncommon Collective?

Online communities have tried to bridge this gap, but they usually fall short. ..

While they connect us to others with similar interests, the relationships remain distant, lacking the depth, accountability, and richness that come from real-life interactions. There’s still a hole—a longing for genuine friendship, shared faith, and face-to-face encouragement.

Uncommon Collective was created to meet that need. It’s a place where young Christian entrepreneurs can find connection, belonging, and inspiration as they walk the narrow road.

Jesus said in John 15:19, “If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world.”

This calling may set us apart, but it also brings us together. By surrounding ourselves with like-minded believers, we can grow in faith, push each other toward excellence, and walk boldly into the calling God has placed on our lives.

Ephesians 4:1 encourages us to “live a life worthy of the calling you have received.” At Uncommon Collective, that’s exactly what we aim to do—together. Because being uncommon doesn’t have to mean being alone.

Entrepreneurial culture is often filled with people chasing money, status, and worldly success. And all that stuff is cool and has it's purposes but as followers of Christ, we’re called to something greater.

We build not just for ourselves, but for God’s Kingdom. Yet even within the church, entrepreneurship is rare. Few people understand the unique pressures of balancing faith, ambition, and calling.

This tension leaves some of us feeling torn between two worlds…

As Matthew 7:13–14 puts it, “Small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.”

Over time, this journey can cause us to outgrow old friendships. While others may choose the wide, familiar road, we find ourselves navigating a different one…

Our lives and visions diverge until it feels like we’re speaking different languages. It’s no one’s fault, but it leaves us searching for connection with those who understand what it means to be set apart.

We live in a world where connection has never been easier, yet loneliness is at an all-time high. Studies show nearly a third of Americans aged 18–34 feel isolated on a weekly basis. The US Surgeon General has even called loneliness an epidemic, comparing its effects on health to smoking 15 cigarettes a day.

For many young Christian entrepreneurs, this isolation feels even deeper. We’ve been chosen to walk a different path—one that doesn’t conform to the patterns of the world.

As Romans 12:2 reminds us, “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” This transformation sets us apart, but it can also leave us feeling like we don’t belong. It's what makes us "uncommon"
