What guides everything we do
We believe in serving God by loving our neighbors as outlined in Matthew 22:37-40.
“Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves.”
Philippians 2:3
We lead with compassion and humility by serving others before ourselves. We believe love, kindness, and service build trust that lasts a lifetime.
“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord.”
Colossians 3:23
We stay ahead, think creatively, and look for ways to better serve our clients. Excellence honors God, and innovation helps us care for you better.
“Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and He will establish your plans.”
Proverbs 16:3
We're passionate about excellence and growth. You can count on us to be dependable, diligent, and dedicated to earning your trust.
“Two are better than one… a cord of three strands is not quickly broken.”
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
We believe unity creates strength. Together, we celebrate wins, lift each other up, and work as one to serve you well.
We are a second-generation family-owned independent insurance agency founded in 1992.
Started from scratch by Eric & Sue Redman with only a handful of insurance carriers in Rathdrum, their dedication and community-focused approach attracted growth.
Becoming insurance agents in their own right, Jordan & Amy Redman began working at the agency and later purchased it from his parents.
Jordan has since gone from being recognized as IIABI's "Young Agent of the Year" to serving on its board.
His expertise and people-focused approach have been powerful drivers in advancing our mission to provide exceptional insurance products and service while providing a positive, encouraging, and uplifting environment.
The Redman & Company Insurance team is committed to providing clients with the highest quality insurance plans available combined with some of the lowest rates available in all of Idaho and Washington. Whether you're shopping for auto insurance, home insurance, health, life or business insurance, we can help get you the best coverage available with the lowest rate possible.
At Redman & Company Insurance, our ultimate goal is to create lasting relationships with each of our clients so that we may continue providing excellent service for years to come.
Our Mission: "To inspire our community and clients through our trust in God, humbly serving others with integrity, faith, love, and innovations."
What is BAAM?
“In him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of him who works all things according to the counsel of his will, so that we who were the first to hope in Christ might be to the praise of his glory.”
For the Christian, life and work is not primarily about the self: self-achievement, self-accolades, or even self-wealth, or a surplus of monetary rewards. A Christian's labor is foremost about working in a way that expresses faith in God and worship to God. It is in the way we conduct our work and the substance of our work that provides us with a means to proclaim his excellencies.
BAAM is when our agency is first and foremost an avenue of faith in God and worship of God, not in self-reliance and personal glory.
In fact, God calls the vast majority of Christians to "common" spheres of work such as business, or academia, or carpentry, or law, or healthcare, or INSURANCE. As we faithfully give ourselves to this calling, we are God's agents to love others and to even accomplish his will on earth.
So, what does BAAM look like? It will appear differently for each of us. For one, working to the glory of God might mean celebrating God's kindness in the outcome of a successful project. To another, it may involve trusting God during difficulty and even failure. To another, it may involve praying with a client in need. To another, it may be providing grace and understanding to co-worker or client that are having a bad day. Yet, it is trusting God during those challenging circumstances that speak most loudly of the rich sufficiency of knowing Christ.
BAAM is when it serves other people rather than mere projects or profits.
People, made in the image of God, matter more to Him than profits. Our take-home commission is not as important as Christ's commission to love our neighbors in the workplace. And that means we must seek the interests of our coworkers, our customers, and our business partners.
This is a simple, but too easily forgotten truth. In the urgency of a typical day, it's easy to forget the people around us, viewing our day as nothing more than a series of tasks to check off. When we adopt that task-oriented mindset, we can easily overlook the people that God has placed in our path.
As a Christian, we are called to love our neighbor, and God has given us a workplace where He intends for this to happen. So, in this setting, taking the time to encourage a co-worker is BAAM. Going the extra mile to help a customer is BAAM. Serving our community through volunteer opportunities is BAAM. When we accomplish tasks, even the most mundane tasks, with a heart of serving and loving our neighbors at work, we are instruments of God's kindness to them.
BAAM is acknowledging that we are ambassadors of Christ to the specific realm of work He has called us to.
We love our neighbors best when we bring the good news to them. Like Paul, we must see ourselves as ambassadors, bearing the message of reconciliation to an unbelieving world (2 Corinthians 5:20).
BAAM is appreciating the privilege of representing Jesus to our co-workers, clients and community.
We firmly believe that we are not in our present career by accident. It may have felt like we landed here due to random circumstances, but God has been sovereignly guiding us. Our line of work is no accident. Our workplace is no accident. Our vocational ship has sailed to where it is thus far because God has been guiding us. He has placed each of us where we are today because He has need of us.
BAAM is the joyful and faithful pursuit of this high calling that God has placed before us; that we may be diligent stewards of the business He has given us to grow and nurture for His glory, and not our own.
BAAM in practice
How we live out Business As A Ministry through service in our community.
Every Friday we personally deliver some delicious donuts to say thank you to all of our first responders! You make our community better!
Giving back to our community is part of what we've been doing for generations. We believe in supporting our local non- profit businesses that make other people's lives better. Each year we participate in the Day of Hope to raise money for Convoy of Hope. We also donated food and school supplies to local families through this amazing event. Other organizations we support throughout the year include Eternal Hope, Open Arms, Ronald McDonald House, ElderHelp, UGM, Reach America, Good Samaritan, Love Inc., Safe Passage, Tunnel to Towers, and Second Harvest.
Investing in the next generation
The Barnabas Award is a long-standing tradition created to honor students whose character and encouragement make a lasting impact on those around them.
Founded over 22 years ago by Eric and Sue Redman, the original founders of Redman Insurance, this award was intentionally designed to recognize who a student is, not just what they achieve. The Barnabas Award celebrates students who are known for being kind, dependable, cheerful, encouraging, and a positive influence within their school community.
The award is named after Joseph from the Book of Acts, who was given the nickname Barnabas, meaning "Son of Encouragement." In that same spirit, this award honors students who uplift others and quietly lead through character.
Each year, three students are nominated by school staff, with the final recipient selected by student vote. The chosen student is awarded a $1,000 scholarship and recognized for the difference they make in the lives of others.
At Redman Insurance, we believe strong communities are built by people who serve, encourage, and care for one another. The Barnabas Award reflects our heart for investing in the next generation and celebrating the quiet leaders who make our community stronger simply by who they are.
