Bridge Illustration Dead? What then? The Big Story.
| A popular method to explain the central message of Christianity has been the Bridge Illustration. If you've never seen it, check it out here: The Bridge to Life (Navigators). David Fitch is wondering: The Bridge Illustration: An Idea Whose Time Has Come and Gone? So how about a new idea called: The Big Story created by James Choung. Check out these sites with some fun little video explanations: The Big Story or The Big Story, Part 2. Would love to hear your comments on the Big Story. |

post a commentJames and I are good friends. I've spoken with him concerning his approach to displaying the gospel and he on mine. While the traditional bridge model has definite limitations, I have re-worked it and feel great about using it with postmoderns today. The biggest inclusion must be an emphasis on community and corporate sin, not just personal sin. With these modifications, I believe the bridge can continue to be "A" maodel used to pictorally present the gospel. There are many others, including James', but I prefer the bridge and use it about 90% of the time when presenting the gospel. I will do so from the platform at an event in Kentucky tomorrow night, a fraternity house tonight, and a training event tonight also. Great post. This stuff is a big issue right now in the struggle for new models, paradigms, and philosophy of evangelism. Read more at
