Creative restoration through sacrifice.
Redemptive action is creating new possibilities by sacrificing so that others can be restored to flourishing.
The Redemptive Frame helps define and explore the possibilities for redemptive action in any domain, particularly in entrepreneurship and organizational leadership.
A Rule of Life for Redemptive Entrepreneurs
A rule of life is a set of shared habits and practices, undertaken in the belief that we need help from one another to live the lives God meant for us. This Rule of Life is not meant to replace the ordinary practices of faithfulness to which all members of the church are called. But it is meant to guard us and our households from the greatest dangers of the entrepreneurial vocation, and to maximize our opportunity for redemptive influence.

Nonprofit
At Praxis, our work with Nonprofit Fellows in the Accelerator program, and our team's and mentors' own leadership experiences, have helped us to gain deep insight into the challenges and opportunities of leading a nonprofit.
Our playbook for nonprofit leaders is an invitation to design, plan, and take redemptive action in six commitment areas at the heart of flourishing and vibrant organizations.
We've learned what it means to see Aura as a vehicle of God's vision and grace, and how to leverage creativity to focus on achieving our true mission rather than chasing after business metrics.
