Episode notes
From Seminary Blog To Redeeming Productivity
- Reagan Rose started a blog in seminary (2016) called The Pastor's Week and rebranded to Redeeming Productivity to serve all Christians.
- He wrote in spare hours while working seminary jobs and later at The Master's Seminary and Grace To You before moving toward full-time creation.
Moving Home Sparked A Risky Full Time Leap
- Reagan and his wife moved back to Michigan in late 2020 after COVID, taking a job with Not the B but finding he hated the work and remained committed to Christian productivity.
- He decided to go full-time March 1, 2021, leaving paid employment and making zero dollars initially while building the ministry.
Monetize In Service Of Your Mission
- Do choose a monetization model that aligns with your mission rather than courting donors and mission separately.
- Reagan rejected a donor-first nonprofit route and instead launched courses and a membership (Redeeming Productivity Academy) to sustain the mission.
