Hey, my name is Reagan Rose and I have a bit of an obsession—I love all things productivity.
I’m also a Christian and I think all believers should think about how we can better steward the time, resources, and lives the Lord has given us. This blog is my effort to encourage other Christ followers to pursue Christian productivity.
Redeeming Productivity is a blog containing articles, book reviews, and tool recommendations for Christians who want to get more done, and get it done like Christians. With a focus on developing a theology of motivation rooted in the Word of God, I strive to create content that will help you accomplish more in the right way, for the right reasons, to glorify the right One.

All philosophies of productivity, at bedrock, contain a theology. Therefore, there is a genuine need for a distinctly Christian productivity in the church.
My picks for the 10 best iPhone apps for Christians. These are the best apps for listening to sermons, the best Bible apps, and the best productivity apps.
We live in a time in which there is unprecedented access to Bible study tools—multiple excellent translations, study helps, internet resources, Bible software, phone apps, etc.—yet we are also more distracted than ever. Personal devotion to God through Bible reading is a blessing you do not want to skip. And Scripture tells us of the importance of spending time in the Word. Yet, so many...
I am not a news junky at all. If anything I have the tendency to fall into the camp of ignorance is bliss. But I also recognize that being prepared to offer Christian responses to current events is important. For me, the thought of scrolling through dozens of news sites a day just to know what’s happening in the world sounds like medieval torture. In this age of information overload, our...
Do you ever get that nagging feeling when you’re trying to take a break? “I should really be working.” I’m willing to bet that if you’re reading a productivity blog, you’re someone who feels guilty when they relax. I want to show you one method for how to relax without feeling guilty that’s worked for me. Working in college and campus ministry, I have had...
.What do you think of when you hear the word “meditation?” Do you picture a person sitting cross-legged, thumbs and index fingers forming little O’s, and uttering “Ohm” again and again? In Western society, meditation is a word which has been co-opted by Eastern mystical practices. So you might be surprised to find that the Bible actually talks a lot about meditation. But ironically biblical...
You need a plan for stewardship, and you need more than just a plan, you need a way to manage that plan. You need a budget. Which is why I want to introduce you to a budgeting tool which I have been using for the past 6 years.
What is the most valuable resource in the universe? Jonathan Edwards would answer that question with, “time.” Time is precious. Dated December of 1734, Puritan pastor Jonathan Edwards published a short piece titled The Preciousness of Time and The Importance of Redeeming It. The essay or sermon is based on Ephesians 5:16 and divides into five sections. This short work has personal...
One thing we didn't account for was just how selective we would need to be with what we brought on the RV. Thus, it was by my miserliness and Kim’s dream of a world without hallways that we stumbled rather accidentally into minimalism. But the Lord has taught me a lot through the experience of living with less. He’s taught me about contentment, my sinful heart, and the realities of disappointment.
