Explore began with a much larger challenge: helping churches around the world understand their role in God’s global mission and giving people practical ways to take part.

Turning awareness into action

Explore was developed to help people understand God’s Word, God’s world, and God’s work, and discover practical ways to take part.

As part of the Via rebrand, The Creative Studio reimagined Explore and the organization’s resources as a connected product ecosystem. Content, strategy, design, marketing, digital experience, translation, and production came together to create resources capable of supporting the organization’s broader global strategy.

Explore became the entry point to the World Christian Series, introducing five habits that gave people practical ways to engage and additional resources for going deeper.

The challenge was to create a family of resources that could build upon one another without requiring a fixed sequence.

From there, each study took people deeper into one of the five World Christian Habits. Each needed to work independently while remaining unmistakably connected to the larger idea.

That required more than visual consistency. Naming, editorial hierarchy, content flow, navigation, and design helped people understand where they were within the experience and where they could go next.

The result was a modular system: one foundational study, five habits, and multiple paths forward.

Every book needed its own personality while clearly belonging to the same family.

Designed for continuity

Designed for continuity

The Creative Studio developed a shared editorial language across the series through the intentional and bold use of typography, color, photography, illustration, information hierarchy, and recurring navigational elements. Together, these created continuity from one study to the next.

The design system also incorporated efficiencies that streamlined Redokun workflows and accelerated translation and localization.

Explore established the visual foundation, while each subsequent resource extended the system to reflect its particular subject.

Design wasn't simply applied to the content. It helped shape how the content was understood, making complex ideas easier to navigate while creating a recognizable experience across the series.

The World Christian Series extended beyond the books into a broader experience supporting discovery, engagement, training, and continued use.

The same product thinking informed web experiences, marketing communications, event environments, promotional materials, and supporting resources—giving the series a consistent identity across physical and digital touchpoints.

Each expression had a different job to do, but all reinforced the same product experience.

Built to adapt

Built to adapt

As Explore traveled around the world, translation, localization, training, events, and supporting resources helped the same product experience take root in very different communities.

What began as a study became a flexible platform for engagement, giving people a shared foundation while allowing the experience to adapt to where and how it was used.

Build the system

When product, content, and marketing are designed to work together, the outcome is growth.
