Highlights of God’s unfolding redemption story in my life (or, what has God been redeeming me from?). Where have I suffered, lost something, been a victim, or even exploited or harmed others? How did God work to redeem those losses and how have I been changed as a result (including but not limited to my “testimony”)?

Key experiences and themes in my development as a leader in various roles of my vocation (family, work, church, community, etc.).

Where am I at risk of lapsing into the exploitative in my work, even if unintentionally? In what ways am I prone to build my organizational or

Vision for current and future opportunities for creative response (or, what God has been redeeming me for?). Where can I be a more redemptive leader in all three dimensions (what I build, how I build, why I build)? Where can I push beyond ethical norms to explore new redemptive possibilities? What are my cherished topics1 and areas where I am most alive in my leadership?

What concrete opportunities do I have to sacrifice for others in my sphere (by surrendering my rights and claims; sharing power, credit, and opportunity; generously offering time and money with low expectation of return; choosing interdependence over independence; disproportionately absorbing downside risk and distributing upside reward; tolerating aggravation or delay for others’ sake; being the first to forgive; etc.)?

In what areas and times of my life do my ambitions tend to be least healthy (seeking my own glory, feeding my idols, inseparable from my identity, isolating me from community)? By contrast, in what areas and times of my life do my ambitions tend to be healthiest and most life-giving for others?

As you reflect on these prompts, begin to outline and summarize your rough ideas by writing them down in whatever form feels the most comfortable for you (the medium is far less important than the themes and messages). As you do, look for common threads and patterns and listen for the prompting of the Holy Spirit. You’ll use this to begin drafting.

Draft about a page, drawing heavily on your notes from the Reflection Prompts on the prior pages. Cover: The experiences, skills, capabilities, topics, and passions that have most marked and shaped your life to this point Your redemptive story (where you’ve experienced, witnessed, or participated in harm, exploitation, or brokenness; and where God has healed and restored) The most significant opportunities and risks you bring into your vocation, relationships, and identity Consider writing either a chronological narrative (perhaps organizing around phases or seasons of your story) or a more thematic approach to your life. Try to include self-reflective insight instead of simply stating facts. This is your next-to-last draft; you'll pull it all together on the final Personal Playbook spread in a few pages.

MY REDEMPTIVE OPPORTUNITY Draft one or two paragraphs, or several statements of intent, on how you seek to renew culture through your work. How will you "love your neighbor you don't know" through the products, services, brands, narratives, experiences, and expressions you build? Consider themes, issues, or areas of interest in which God has gifted you or moved your heart; or solving problems in ways that generate opportunities for specific groups of people.

MY REDEMPTIVE OPPORTUNITY Draft one or two paragraphs, or several statements of intent, on how you seek to seek to surrender to God and die to self in your work.
