A few days ago I was discussing with a young lady how we understand the gospel. The point I was attempting to make was that our experiences is what gives us the context for understanding the gospel. This is true not only for the gospel but for all beliefs. It is primarily through participation in our community, be it our family, friends, or whatever social body we belong to, and the resulting experiences we have in that community, that shapes our beliefs. How they live life is for us the telling of what is true.
