What I found really is that, you know, pastoral ministry, or let me use the phrase, expanding scripture, is closely tied up with your experience as a Christian. It's almost like, you know, your experience enables you to see a little more from the Bible. And as you are studying the Bible, it is again informing your life in terms of how you ought to live as a child of God, as a husband, a father, a pastor over the church.
And then again, it informs, it opens your eyes further to what's happening in the Bible.
