Keen to do FT ministry? Want to become a great preacher? Want to see 100s, nay, 1000s of people saved? Great! Do 1 to 1 ministry.
Why?
It helps you to develop trust for God working through his word to change people.
It helps you understand how – so often – people don’t understand the bible when they read it.
It helps keep you humble as you see how people don’t change just because you tell them to.
It helps you understand the bible really really really really really really really really well as you think about teaching people in other ways – like preaching.
Of course, this is assuming you read the bible with people when you do 1 to 1. So do that.
