Pretty similar process. I’d say “Ascension” is missing because God’s authority is out of the picture, and his 3-4 are mostly Testing. His 5 is Maturity (mustering the troops). 6 is a mix between maturity and atonement (but of course there is no sin to deal with) and 7 is the new order. I’ve ordered his book where he gives this in more detail as 22 steps.

Listened to some of Truby’s interview. Have you tried matching his 7 step story structure with the Bible Matrix?

I think the first two (1. Need, 2. Desire) line up interestingly. Need corresponding to creation, desire corresponding to division, or another desire beside the creator’s.
