The Four Stages of Faith Development:
The Four Stages of Faith Development that Brian described (after briefly talking about a few of the other models/descriptions that other theologians, psychologists, etc., have put forth) are:
Simplicity — You're either for us or against us. It's all or nothing.
Complexity — There's more than one way to do things.
Perplexity — Everyone has an opinion. Who knows who is right?
Harmony/Humility — Seek first God's Kingdom… love God, love neighbors… in essentials unity… focus on a few grand essentials.
