Orientation:
Before You Use the Canvas™
You’ve received the Redemptive Business Canvas.
Before you start using it, we recommend one simple step:
take 15 minutes to understand how this Canvas is meant to be used.
This will help you get more out of it, and avoid treating it like another worksheet.

An introduction to the Redemptive Business Canvas
with Philip Yan & Hannah Lau
This short video explains:
why the Canvas exists
how it differs from other business canvases
how Christian builders are meant to approach it
You don’t need to agree with everything or take notes.
The goal is simply to orient how you see before you decide how to act.

When you’re ready to begin, the User Instructions PDF offers practical guidance on how to work with the Canvas, pacing, posture, and common pitfalls to avoid.
How to use the Canvas well
A few reminders before you start:
This is a thinking tool, not an evaluation
There are no right answers
Move slowly enough to notice what matters
Expect to return to the Canvas more than once
The goal is not completion.
The goal is clarity.
When the Canvas isn’t enough on its own
For some builders, the Canvas brings immediate clarity.
For others, it surfaces deeper questions—about direction, responsibility, or trade-offs that are difficult to navigate alone.
If you find yourself wanting:
conversation, not just reflection
guidance as faith meets real decisions
structure to move from clarity to action
you may benefit from walking this journey with others or with a guide.
You can explore those options here, if and when it’s helpful:
