“Kids are so sensory. They remember things when it’s anchored in a hands-on experience. So, if we can take them outside and explore nature while also anchoring theological and biblical truth, that’s a win-win.” Eryn Lynum.

Eryn Lynum is a mother and wife, a certified Master Naturalist, a Bible teacher, and the author of the books 936 Pennies: Discovering the Joy of the Intentional Parenting and Rooted in Wonder: Nurturing Your Family's Faith Through God's Creation. She also hosts the podcast Nat Theo: Nature Lessons Rooted in the Bible, a podcast for kids.
During this first part of her three-part episode series, Eryn elaborates on the following key takeaways:

At some point in life, parents realize how fast their kids are growing up – 936 Pennies can help parents slow down and discover how not to make every moment matter but make sure that every day has meaningful moments that honor God (Psalm 90:12).
There is such a powerful connection between God’s created world - what he has made, and his written word - the scriptures.
There are two ways God reveals himself to us - special revelation and natural revelation.
The importance of connecting nature and scripture and using both to nurture your family's faith.
Explore what God says about nature with your children in the Bible, and then explore God in nature by going outside and exploring with your children.
Becoming “wonder conservationists” – protecting what God has made and conserving the sense of wonder that God has given us and our children.
When we lose curiosity and wonder, we forfeit a critical element of faith because we stop asking questions about the world around us; we stop using all the evidence of God that can build this robust and resilient faith.
