8 Conversational Bridges to the Gospel

Subtext has a great article ( “Gospel Connections in Suburbia”) that has conversational tips

The problem posed is

How can I take a natural conversation about common things and connect it to the gospel without it coming off like an abrupt topic change?

The farther the distance between the subject matter at hand and the gospel, the more abrupt the change.

How does one take a mundane conversation into spiritual matters?

How does one build a conversational bridge?

To help us think through natural conversational bridges, Joe gives us 8 conversational bridges to the gospel:

1. Corruption, evil and sin.
2. Community.
3. Politics.
4. Environment.
5. War.
6. Family.
7. Church.
8. Art/pop-culture

With each one, Joe gives a conversational example, as well as a possible bridge to move from such topics to matters about our faith.

Give the full article a good read and let me know what you think.

Email me an example of a conversational bridge you use, and I’ll send you a list of 99 questions to start a spiritual conversation.
