The Genesis of Uncommen

In the spirit of fostering stronger male leadership, Greg and Amanda Cash founded Uncommen. The organization aims to inspire husbands, fathers, and leaders to become the men they were always meant to be. This journey began with an app designed to challenge men in their daily lives, promoting engagement and commitment. Despite initial hurdles, Uncommen evolved into a globally recognized content delivery ministry, reaching men worldwide with its impactful message.
