1. Servant (Dependence)
- The needs of others are above your own
- If you don't succeed at this phase, you dont learn how to trust
- Builds in our character giving, helping and sacrifice (builds a container for generosity in me)
- We are vulnerable to authority
- We dont understand Why?

2 Sons (Independence)
- To be a son you have to have a choice
- Crucial to our health in receiving love. (learning how to choose to receive love)
Teaches us to expect help
- Opens our lives to learn of unconditional acceptance. Nothing you will ever do disqualifies my love for you, it is not performance based.
- We know why?

3. Lover (Interdependence)
- Move from trust, to choice, to a place of covenant
- Understand we have strength to serve without payment
- No matter what God does in a moment, you choose to love him.
- My motive is to add my strength and benefit to your life, not to consume yours

Bill discusses the principles about finishing well in your life. There are prophetic lessons in the Bible that show us how God works and to summon us into a generation of reformers. Israel was acquainted with the acts of God, but Moses was acquainted with His ways. When you have a revelation of His ways, you have an invitation to an encounter with Him. When you know His acts you are aware of WHAT he does, but when you know His ways you can delight in WHO He is and step into deeper levels of intimacy.
