About the Podcast

Be Living Water
Benefitting all, in conflict with none, and in harmony with Christ
This show seeks to explore spirituality from the lens of a Christian Taoist, Joshua Noel. We hope to explore Christian, Hebrew, and Taoist Scriptures to find peace for ourselves, love for our neighbors, and a message of Salvation for our time. The only way to the Father is through Jesus Christ, but what does the way of Jesus look like in our times? Just as Lao Tzu describes "the way" as one where we find our truest selves, have harmony with creation, and seek to put others before ourselves - so too is the way we follow Christ. Some episodes may be devotionals, some will be theological explorations, and other episodes may just be ponderings of our time - but it will all be in an effort to benefit all and be in conflict with none, through Christ.
