Raising the standard of God's principles and ways.
Hello, I’m Doug Tjaden. Being born and raised on a small farm in southwest Nebraska gave me a heart for the intersection between thriving local communities and stewardship of God’s Creation. I’ve been blessed with a broad set of life experiences, including forming deep relationships with national and international ministry leaders who have shaped my passion for helping humanity escape the trap of today’s economic “traditions of men.”
The trap is real.
The way out is too.
Regeneco is built around the revelation of an economic reality that I’ve documented in a body of work decades in the making. Regeneco is the platform through which we serve the body of Christ in two primary ways:
- To set God’s economic principles as a point of unity around which we strategically form coalitions in our homes, communities, and nations that reclaim God’s resources and deploy them for His Kingdom purposes.
- To help develop “watchmen on the wall” who understand economic reality and how it will impact your home, church, community, and nation.
The Reality?
- All kingdoms throughout history have required both natural and human resources to build the infrastructure and support systems necessary to sustain them. The Kingdom of God is no different.
- God originally intended the resources He owns (everything) to be stewarded according to His economic principles to build His Kingdom on earth.
- Today’s economic and monetary systems are purposefully designed to steal, kill, and destroy resources that God placed in His people’s hands, and thus redirect them to build the kingdoms of the kings of the earth. (John 10:10)
- Last, but not least: It was never meant to be this way, and it doesn’t have to remain this way.
What We Do
The Mission
Empower followers of Jesus to build God’s Kingdom “on earth as it is in heaven.” To restore a relational economy that prioritizes stewardship of Creation and building human identity and well-being. To establish resilient local economies that prevail against the economic traditions of men and restore the abundant life that Jesus came to give.
The Method
Through courses, books, online teaching, and seminars, you discover how today’s economic and monetary systems work and how Scripture guides followers of Jesus to respond. I then help you find and step onto a pathway to restore God’s system and deploy it in your God-given sphere of jurisdiction.
The Strategy
It begins with providing followers of Jesus with a biblical economic worldview and a clear-eyed understanding of why economics is at the root of what we see happening in the world around us. United in purpose and principle, coalitions then form to shepherd the transformation process in households, churches, communities, and nations.
Core Values
Faith as Foundation
We believe God’s Word provides the blueprint for how followers of Jesus should create and exchange value, and we anchor our work in timeless biblical principles rather than man-made systems.
2 Timothy 3:16,17
Church-Led Restoration
The “ekklesia” is set apart by God to administer the affairs of His people on earth according to His principles and ways. When applied in our communities, they will solve the most pressing problems we face and bless our neighbors.
Matthew 5:13-16
Cooperation, not Competition
God’s people are called to work together within the body of Christ to make advancing the gospel of the Kingdom their primary economic objective. Doing so will create sustainable abundance for all.
Ephesians 4:16
Faithful Stewardship
We recognize that everything belongs to God, and we are to hold what He entrusts us with in open hands. That includes the resources, relationships, and opportunities we are provided with each day. It is all for the sake of His Kingdom.
Psalm 50:10-11
Abundance Mindset
We operate from God’s perspective of abundance rather than worldly scarcity, trusting His principles to create sustainable provision when stewarded according to His ways and not man’s.
Genesis Chapters 1 and 2
Image-Bearer Identity
We affirm that every person is created as an image-bearer of God. Each has unique skills to use in building His Kingdom. It is our responsibility to prioritize directing resources to those whom God has called to protect and nurture that identity.
Genesis 1:26
Generational Sustainability
We are committed to “the long game.” That means building systems and practices that will create lasting impact for generations. This, in turn, establishes communities that are resilient regardless of external circumstances.
Proverbs 13:22
Prayer Led Action
We acknowledge that “except the Lord build the house, those who do so labor in vain.” Thus, we form prayer councils at every level of jurisdiction to seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit for God’s heart in all things before we act.
Philippians 4:6-7
Support the Work
Regeneco is a 501(c)3 nonprofit ministry. Our work is sustained by people who believe in what God is doing here and choose to invest in it from the resources God has given them to steward.
You are not donating to an organization. You are investing in the continued development, distribution, and implementation of a body of work that, by God’s grace, is reaching leaders around the world. It is shifting the narrative about how God expects us to create, steward, and deploy our God-given resources to expand His Kingdom on earth.
Those in our coalitions and I invite you to join us and are grateful for your support!
