Ep. 141 — Connecting Girls to Their Creator Through Creation with Eryn Lynum (Author & Host of the Nat Theo Podcast)

In this weekend edition episode of the Raising Godly Girls podcast, Patti Garibay welcomes Eryn Lynum, a certified Master Naturalist, educator, and author who has made it her mission to connect families with their Creator through the beauty and wonder of His creation. Eryn’s work, including her books Rooted in Wonder and 936 Pennies, inspires parents to nurture their children's faith by embracing the natural world as a testament to God's glory. Eryn also hosts the popular kids' podcast Nat Theo: Nature Lessons Rooted in the Bible, where she shares engaging nature lessons that build Biblical truths, making her a valuable guide in this journey of faith. 

Patti and Eryn dive deep into the importance of outdoor adventure, a key component of American Heritage Girls programming. Eryn explains how time in nature can build confidence, reduce stress, and foster spiritual growth, even when it challenges us to step outside our comfort zones. She shares insights from her book Rooted in Wonder and explains why she and her family honor the Sabbath by spending Saturdays resting in God's creation. 

With nature serving as a powerful tool for both resilience and spiritual lessons, Eryn talks about how parents can overcome fears of getting outdoors and create faith breakthroughs for their children. She also reflects on how Jesus used nature to teach deep truths and how families today can follow His example by modeling those lessons in their own lives.
