This episode continues our deep dive into the biblical theme of water. From Genesis to the prophets, from Eden’s rivers to Israel’s covenant rain, water frames the story of God’s presence, judgment, and renewal. Along the way we’ll explore:

How waters above (rain) and waters below (springs, rivers) carry distinct theological meanings
Why the flood brings both destruction and recreation
Ancient Near Eastern cosmology of water and how the Bible reframes it
The difference between living water, rainwater, and cisterns—and how they connect to Spirit and baptism
Stories like Hagar in the wilderness and Rebekah at the well as pictures of God’s provision and promise

What does all of this mean for baptism, covenant, and discipleship today? Join me as we trace the living streams back to their source.
