Redemptive Design Labs
MODULE 1: INTRO
This module gives an introduction to Redemptive Design and a taster activity for participants to immediately experience a design tool and process.
MODULE 2: STORY
This module explores God’s story as told in Ephesians 1-3. These chapters offer a snapshot into God’s story and provides a foundation to then frame our own story within the larger narrative of God’s purposes. After the study section, the first Redemptive Design tool is introduced: The Purpose Storyboard.
MODULE 3: IDENTITY
This module presents a process for aligning our identity with the identity that we see in Scripture. It starts with an awareness of God’s story and grace, an awareness of the other stories that are forming us and then putting in place rhythms that help us to align more fully with God’s story.
MODULE 4: CONTEXT
The key question addressed here is, where has God placed you? This is initially explored using the Scoping Context tool, before moving onto the first step of Seed’s Theory of Change Canvas, Imagined Future. The module concludes by combining elements of our identity with elements of our participation in God’s Story to craft a Purpose Statement.
MODULE 5: PARTICIPATE
Moving beyond discovery, this module begins engaging with the question of alignment. How do we align our context with God’s design? This issue is unpacked by continuing to work through the Theory of Change Canvas. Working through the top line of the Theory of Change Canvas, the goal is to articulate a Story of Change.
MODULE 6: DISCERN
This module focuses on becoming who God made us to be through the lens of discerning our thinking and longings. This module introduces the Personal Development Planner and provides participants with the opportunity to deeply think through their spiritual rhythms and practices as they understand more deeply how they are becoming.
MODULE 7: CREATE
This module combines human-centered design elements with leadership skills. Beginning with
a Stakeholder Map, participants connect their Plan for change with their communities before
moving on to Identify and Test Assumptions. This module paves the way for participants
to confidently refine their project plans.
MODULE 8: SHARE
In this module we revisit our tools and learnings. This module has a component of leadership development where we unpack the role of prayerful discernment in our plans as well as the concepts of power and humility. Space is provided for participants to use their new design tools and skills to create a spiritual practise plan.
MODULE 9: GROW
This is the final module, an opportunity for participants to imagine a personal future, celebrate their stories of change, pray over each other and commission one other to be Redemptive Changemakers.
