A Christian Reads the Tao te Ching
Join me in an unusual but deeply fulfilling journey as I work my way through the Tao te Ching, that ancient Chinese book of wisdom and spirituality that didn't draw me away from a Christ-centered faith, but actually helped me hold onto it.

Episode 52
In this episode, we look at chapter 63, which is all about tasks and problems. I'll start by talking about how learning how to break big tasks into small pieces has radically transformed my life, then we'll break down the chapter into two main sections:
1. A "mini-sermon" on wu wei (action without action) through a series of paradoxes
2. The active/decisive side of wu wei, or "the path of least resistance"
- Lessons from the universe
- The path of the wise man
- A warning against underestimating the difficulties of problems
- "The great secret" to an effective life
