Bridge to Life
YHC needed something to guide him on his first Saturday Q… and something very special to cover a saturday Boneyard Q. Without running to fill some time, what can a Q do? YHC decided to use God’s word to guide him on this workout. More specifically, God brought to mind the Bridge to Life Evangelism method developed by God and put together by the Navigators. So, away we go:
We have to start at the beginning…
Genesis 1:26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
- Exercise: 26, eight-count Body builders OYO… a crowdpleaser! Especially after all those merkins before.
Life was joyous! We were one with God… walking and talking and communing with him and then… we blew it. We chose to do what God told us not to do and sin poisoned the world. We were separated from God.
Romans 3:23: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
- Exercise: 23 BBSU OYO
Isaiah 59:2: But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear…
- Exercise: Bridge for 59 seconds… and because Say What requested it… we did another rep of 59 seconds bridge.
There is no way for us to get back to God on our own. We try to gnaw our way back doing “good” things, practicing religion, praying, praying more, etc… but eventually we find out that none of this works.
Proverbs 14:12: There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death.
- Exercise: 14+12=26 Dying cockroaches, IC.
There is only ONE way to find peace with God. The bible says it is Jesus Christ. We needed a way to pay for our sins and a perfect sacrifice was needed… so we could be clean and join God once again.
Romans 5:8: But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
- Exercise: 13 …( or was it 30) Raise the roof IC while walking to bridge entrance.
John 3:16: For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life
- Exercise: CELEBRATORY BURPEES! AMRAP! until Q says time! Another crowd pleaser!
The last and most important part of this journey through God’s word involves our action. What do we do after hearing these truths:
John 5:24: “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life.
- Exercise: Cross bridge bear crawling… every 5th bear crawl, stop and do core exercise of your choosing. Stop at other side. Jesus experienced HORRID pain on the cross so we could do this workout. The pain the pax felt this morning was NOTHING in comparison.
John 10:10: The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
- Exercise: Lunge back over bridge towards school.
Romans 5:1:Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
- Exercise: 51 Calf Raises, 17 regular, 17 heels in, 17 heels out.
The last two verses describe what we can experience with a relationship with Jesus Christ and living for God. We can live a full, peaceful life. Deep soul searching and honest business with God is needed here.. and this looks differently for everyone. It all ends in some kind of prayer where you admit you’re a sinner and unable to save yourself and need a savior. God’s gift is free. Jesus died for me… not just the other guy… Me!
On the way back, YHC share a bit of his testimony to God’s grace in his life…. more on that later:

This crew of boneyardsman are full of spirit, life, and desire to get better. It was great to see Voltron bring out his 2.0 to cross the bridge with us. All the pax were eager to hear more of YHC’s message and the pain that would accompany each verse. This won’t be YHC’s last boneyard Q for sure!
YHC wasn’t planning on sharing God’s grace story at the end of the workout… but God presented the opportunity… so here’s the reader’s digest version:
YHC had grown up attending a Lutheran Church and never heard this message of salvation. So, he cruised through life doing his own thing and hoping that good things would happen on the other side. It wasn’t until nearly one year into his marriage that God really tugged on him. One day before his one year wedding anniversary, he got separated from his M. A REALLY hard time! He moved in with a couple older Christian men and they along with others we attended church with loved on him like no one ever had. It wasn’t until he heard the salvation story of a good friend that he answered the call and gave his life to Christ. Now the journey since then has been challenging and full of ups and downs. A fellowship of believers and a God who loves me has been with me ever since helping me on my walk.
