[3] Belong-Become-Believe
Belong-Become-Believe (3Bs) illustrates three zones of experience individuals and communities encounter in the process of a Spiritual Journey, as outlined on the The Journey Map. The 3Bs can be illustrated as version of both [3] The Trifold and [3] The Trinity Tensel — forms of [3] The Trinity, the third systems shape of the Semantic Ontology Framework (SOF).
As a Process
Belong
Do I feel I have a place with Jesus and his people and do they belong in my story?
Coincides with Seeker and Lordship zones.
Become
How do I become the person who I want to be in Christ and what is he causing my situation to become?
Coincides with Servant and Likeness zones.
Believe
Where is Jesus leading me to manifest his Kingdom, exercising and demonstrating increasing faith?
Coincides with Heir and Life-on-Life zones.
For those who see their journey as less Christian-specific, the three Phases could be described as:
Belong
Do I feel I have a place with this community and do they belong in my story? Does this spiritual path/Mythos belong in my life?
Become
How do I become the person who I want to be in this community and on this path? What does this cause my situation to become?
Believe
Where do I manifest the world that ought to be, exercising and demonstrating increasing faith?
As a Tensel
The 3Bs can also be thought of as a Tensel — a system of creative or generative tensions — at the center of every zone, step, and component of the spiritual journey. Belong is the Prime: the absolute center of people’s experience is the sense of God belonging to them and they belonging to God. Become is the experience of people growing in Jesus towards their highest aspiration — the Alpha objective they are pushing to reach. Believe is the experience of living with Jesus in faith on mission, manifesting his Kingdom in people’s situations.
