Rebuilding Trust, One Conversation at a Time.
We are a faith-inspired, nonpartisan design initiative helping Americans listen deeply, speak truthfully, and act compassionately—so our public life reflects dignity, safety, belonging, mastery, and purpose.
“Speak the truth in love.” — Ephesians 4:15
America doesn’t need more noise—she needs a new way to listen.
We are citizens, believers, and designers walking a shared path of healing. Our approach blends Christian compassion, civic ethics, and design thinking to rebuild trust—so we can be Strong at Home, Generous Abroad.
Critique that Heals, Design that Unites.
At the heart of BDUSA is the Unified Relational Critique Framework—a practical way to speak truth in love and transform disagreement into design.
Cross — Truth
Discern what is real with humility and courage.
Bridge — Relationship
Connect with respect; seek belonging over point-scoring.
Flame — Growth
Transform through renewal; let critique become creation.
We Don’t Debate. We Design.
Instead of shouting across aisles, we gather around tables. Every BDUSA workshop uses design-thinking tools to move from reaction to renewal.
Empathy Story Circles
Create safety to share lived experience. Listening precedes problem-solving.
Reframing Wicked Problems
Turn stalemates into shared challenges with “How Might We…” questions.
Prototype Civic Solutions
Co-design actions your community can test, measure, and improve.
Strong at Home. Generous Abroad.
Before we export aid or ideology, we must heal our own households—ensuring food, housing, safety, and dignity for all. From wholeness at home, we bless the world.
Truth in Love is America’s Greatest Witness.
We believe every person bears the image of God, and every conversation can restore that image. Our faith shapes a civic practice: truth with compassion, courage with humility.
