“God is not wishy-washy, and in his creation and everything he’s made, we see order and method, and natural laws that we need to live in harmony with and respect.” -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 second part of her three-part episode series, Erin elaborates on the following key takeaways:

How nature analogies can help children understand the relationship and parallels between nature and God - for example, monarch butterflies with milkweed plants and when deer shed their antlers.
Absolute truth can be proved by God’s creation of nature.
It is so important to teach children objective truth – take them into nature and have them see and state things clearly as they are – this teaches them to understand God’s truth and that his creation is real instead of assuming things that are not definitive.
Invasive pastimes choke the ecosystem of our souls – invasive species taking over native plant landscapes can be directly related to technology and the media taking over our children’s minds and childhood completely.
Three similarities between invasive species and technology: both are recent introductions, both came with good intentions and when both are left unchecked, they completely take over and control the arena.
There is an extreme imbalance between children spending their childhood indoors on media devices and outdoors in nature – the average child spends 22% of their childhood with a media device and 0.48% of their childhood outside.
