A Nonprofit Innovation Lab
Bright ideas put to work across the full spectrum of God's mission.
We come alongside Christian leaders and organizations, equipping them to build upstream solutions that strengthen families, build up the church, and carry the gospel to the nations.
Our lab is where it all comes together. We don’t manufacture brilliance; we find the leaders who already carry it and give them what the work requires. We look upstream, where corruption and the centralization of money, power, and technology do the most damage, and equip the church with decentralized, open-source tools, like Bitcoin and self-sovereign AI, that serve its mission without compromising it. Sometimes that’s funding a Kingdom entrepreneur in Portland; other times, helping a missions organization own its AI or supporting creative-access funding for workers in restricted-access countries.
Bright ideas put to work across the full spectrum of God’s mission. We call that Brilliance Ignited.
The newest initiative in the lab. A media and education platform equipping Christians to understand and leverage Bitcoin for the glory of God and the good of people everywhere.
