Sense making is "the narrative by which we give meaning to something". The something can be either ourselves or events occurring around us. Since everyone filters and bias information we take in through schemes of perception, the mental model we use determines the meaning. There are models that are part of our flesh (human nature) and there are models that come with regeneration, transformed by the Spirit of God. That's what Paul means when he says "do not be confromed to this world (man's nature and the system it resides in) but have your mind transformed". Jesus says "the truth shall set you free." One aspect of this is that although we are still susceptiable to our flesh models, we are no longer in bondage to them and have the ability to make sense of ourselves and our world around thru the eyes of God (the Kingdom mind).
