The Bridge Gospel Visual: How to Teach It to Your Group

The Bridge

The Bridge is anchored in a single verse — Romans 6:23 — which makes it uniquely memorable. When participants learn to walk someone through the gospel using that one verse, they discover that the gospel is already in their hands every time they open their Bible. It is especially effective one-on-one and in smaller, more conversational settings.

If you want people to leave with one verse they will never forget, this is the visual to teach.

How It Works

Start with the facilitator guide. It walks you through drawing the two cliffs, the gap that sin creates, and the cross that bridges it — with the verses that anchor each step, conversation starters, and a salvation invitation to close.

Then use The Bridge Discovery Experience. This handout works differently from the other participant handouts. It is a deeper personal and small group discovery experience — walking participants through the Scriptures behind the gospel, inviting them to write the gospel in their own words, and exploring what salvation starting now, salvation being secure, and growing in faith actually look like. It works beautifully in a small group setting and is also a meaningful tool for one-on-one discipleship.

A Note to the Facilitator

One more thing worth noting — the practice of drawing and sharing the visual is essential. That hands-on repetition is exactly what makes the gospel stick. Once participants have drawn it, explained it, and practiced it with a partner, the visual lives in their memory. They can walk someone through the gospel in any conversation, any setting, with or without a pen or paper — because the picture is already in their head.
