In this dear-to-our-heart episode, we sit down with Jeanne Champagne as she shares the story of her life as a young hippie searching for real Truth and how that led to the birth of the music group “Living Waters.” Living Waters, a music ministry that began around a campfire in 1978, grew into a powerful force for glorifying God and spreading the message of redemption through Jesus Christ. That evening, in the light of a campfire in the woods, Jeanne, her husband Dennis, and her brother Emile, all who had recently experienced the transformational new birth of their soul through the gift of salvation, lifted their voices in worship. What started as an intimate moment of praise soon became an incredible movement and has touched countless lives. The powerfully inspired lyrics, taken directly from God’s Word, manifests the comfort, hope, love, wisdom and power that flows from a personal relationship with Christ.

Jeanne shares how Living Waters evolved from its humble beginnings and grew into a full-fledged ministry with the addition of other gifted musicians, artists, and storytellers. From their powerful musical drama His Name is Jesus, to their heartfelt performances across the Midwest, Living Waters remained steadfast in its mission to glorify God and draw people closer to God through music.

Originally, Living Waters recorded three albums which were released on cassette tape and vinyl. The first album, He’s Been Calling You, is being released digitally on all music platforms March 15, 2025! The other two albums will follow soon thereafter. We are honored to introduce this Spirit filled group to our listeners as the Gospel message of this music becomes a testimony “unto the uttermost part of the earth!” (Acts 1:8)
