Why Redemptive?

It's not enough to be ethical. Doing good is... well, good. But anyone can choose to run an ethically sound business. Only those that follow Jesus can build a business that transforms lives and reconnects the world to God. 

We're joining the many voices in Christian entrepreneurship that say we're called to something higher than ethical. We're called to be redemptive.

The journey to discovering how starts at the foundation of your business.

The truth is, there are a lot of ways God uses business to expand His Kingdom. Our accelerators help you build a redemptive foundation for your company.

Understanding the who of your team and the what of your organization will lead you to a clear how.
Redemptive Leadership
Redemptive Go-To Market

How can you take the next step to see your business become a Kingdom Outpost?

A place where people see Jesus, and take their next steps on a redemptive journey toward Christ?

It's normal to build a plan to grow your business or launch a new service or location. But most don’t have a way to define and plan for their Kingdom impact.

Brand Disciples solves for how.

Redemptive Go-To-Market Strategy

8-Week Accelerator

Over 8 weeks you will build clear messaging and Biblical concepts into the core of your business, while also using proven strategies to position your business in a competitive market. Built as a key component of our  accelerator, our time together is designed for highly engaged participants.

This 8-week group answers two questions: 1) How can you use the best practices for growth from highly successful companies and nonprofits; and 2) How can you build something that will create a redemptive impact and honor God?

If you are a startup, existing business, social enterprise or nonprofit in the seed or startup phase, this group meets once a week over Zoom.

Costs

Brand Disciples is a program of our nonprofit so that we can keep costs as low as possible.

The cost is $1,500 for the accelerator. We desire for anyone who is ready to be on mission to participate in our group. We have scholarships available, and you can note your desire to apply for that when you fill out our interest form.

We don't want your financial capacity to stop what God wants to do through your business, so let's talk.

FAQs

Still have questions? Hopefully this will help.

Who should participate?
The Accelerator serves startups, seed-stage businesses, nonprofits and social enterprises, and those launching a new product, service, or division from an existing business. It's for leaders who want to build a redemptive business that creates impact with everyone they work with and serve.
What's the time commitment?
Our Go-To-Marketing Accelerator is 90 minutes per week, plus homework. And, in-person meet-ups. This is for a highly committed and engaged leader.
How can my church be involved?

That might seem like a weird question. We're encouraging that someone from your church leadership gets invited to at least one of the meetings.

It's our team's conviction that every entrepreneur needs to be connected to the local body of Christ.

Our team cannot walk beside you in every season, and we know that having someone in your local region to pray for you and call out your purpose is absolutely crucial to any Christian business endeavor.

What's the cost/scholarships?
The cost for the go-to-market accelerator is $1500, which is less than 1/4 of what it costs to do this in a commercial setting. We want the process to be accessible, so we solicit scholarship donations to cover the cost for many of those who participate. Don't let the cost deter you if you're ready to craft a redemptive plan to take your business forward. If you'd like to provide a scholarship for a start-up, please contact us.
