Hey friends, on Monday check out the latest episode of my podcast, Refocus with Jim Daley.

Author Tim Gedline will help us to honor America's spiritual heritage and influence the culture

with faith and optimism. Visit refocuswithJimDaley.com.

But God calls us and invites us to stop and consider his works. And I believe that nature is one of

the most incredible arenas where we get to work in tune with God's design for time.

That's Erin Lynam and she's our guest today on Focus on Family Sharing Insights

about teaching your kids about God through the wonders of nature. And it seems that in today's

hectic culture it is really helpful for us to step away from the busyness of life and get

outdoors and turn that into a learning opportunity. That's what we'll cover today.

Thanks for joining us. I'm John Fuller and your host is focus president and author Jim Daley.

John, I think it's great for all of us to get out into nature. It does something to revive us,

to refresh us, especially spiritually I think. And there's so many young people today that are

suffering from a mental health crisis, you know, the loneliness factor, anxiety, depression.

It's at all time highs. And I think one of the great first things you can do is get your children

out into nature, get yourself out there and start looking at the stars, looking at the mountains,

looking at the streams. There is something great and rehabilitating for us in that regard. And

we're going to talk today to a person who is a master naturalist and Erin's going to bring a

lot of great spiritual application to being outside. Yeah. Erin Lynam is the mother of four kids.

She is, as you said, a master naturalist, a Bible teacher and she's written a terrific resource

that forms the foundation of our conversation today. It's called Rooted in Wonder.

Nurturing your family's faith through God's creation. We've got details in the show notes or

give us a call. Erin, welcome back. Thank you. Thank you for having me back. Okay. So dinner
