Missional Imagination
A space where big kingdom ideas meet careful thinking. Part research engine, part creative tool.
The why
A friend of mine works at a foundation that funds Christian nonprofits and ministries. He sees a lot of ideas cross his desk and talks to a lot of ministry leaders. He said something out loud that a lot of people in the faith space have been quietly noticing: there aren't enough genuinely new mission ideas. The execution of old ideas is fine. What's missing is a steady supply of bold, actionable new concepts. Nobody has built anything to generate those at scale.
Meanwhile the secular startup world has the opposite problem. There's a graveyard of ideas. Y Combinator alone has produced hundreds of failed concepts, and tools like Idea Browser are full of pitches that almost worked. Most of them weren't bad ideas. They were ideas in search of a different mission.
What I was thinking
Missional Imagination is an idea-generation engine for ministry and mission. Take the dataset of failed and overlooked for-profit startup concepts, run each one through a kingdom-mindset lens, and output a full brief: the reframe, the cost to build, the kind of team you'd need, the rails you'd run it on. Not vibes. A working document a foundation, a church, or a founder could move from.
The bet is that the bottleneck in faith-space innovation isn't will or money. It's imagination at the supply stage, and that's a problem with a real shape.
This is also the first project running all the way through the AI agent framework I'm building underneath everything. Idea generation and infrastructure proving themselves out at the same time. Which is a habit at this point.
