N is for Narrative. As humans we live in stories, narratives in our heads that guide how we interpret and engage with the world. Our mental models come from these narratives. One sign of maturing in Christ is a growing awareness of these narratives and more and more aligning them with the Biblical narrative.

M is for Mental Models. One sign of growing maturity is awareness of our mental models or the lenses through which we see the world. Recognizing our filters, moving towards alignment with the Bible/Truth, and creating systems within our community to do this is vital for healthy, loving growth.
