-We are exposed to truth and we believe it.
-We choose to live according to our new beliefs- this is like pouring a new concrete foundation.
-As we continue to live according to the new revelation of truth, the new life choices move from being conscious to becoming subconscious values. This is the new concrete.
-Our new life beings to exhibit the fruit of living according to our new values.
