Seven Life Relationships

Gary Hinchman's Development of Maturity

A year ago, I posted some thoughts on the Balanced Life and the Christian Life. Yesterday, Gary Hinchman sent me a link to his work in West Virginia called “The Seven Life Relationships” which impressed me. He takes the same seven areas as I discussed (differently named) but develops each of them in levels: Introduction, Education, Application, Reproduction. His more advanced approach allows him to apply the model to coaching, counseling and discipleship.  He also ties this model nicely to the Bible in 1 John 2:12-14.  Take a look at what he’s done. He goes further than I did.
