Welcome to the Nat Theo podcast, where we explore nature, the Bible, and what both of them show us about

our creator, God, who made this wild and wonderful world. I'm your host, Aaron Linum. I'm a certified

master naturalist, Bible teacher, and author. And I am so excited

to explore God's word and his created world with you. Merry Christmas listeners. I am so excited to share

with you today one of my family's favorite Christmas stories.

I love this story because it's filled with nature and adventure and adventure and wonder and beauty.

And this story is called Why Christmas Trees Aren't Perfect.

Before we dive in, I need to give a big thank you to my friend Carolyn,

who played detective for me to make this episode possible for you.

You see, when you read a children's book or a story like this on a podcast, you have to get special permissions.

So I started looking for those permissions by beginning with the publisher.

I went right to the publisher and explained why I wanted to share this story with you all.

And they said, you know what, we're really sorry, but we don't actually own the rights to that story.

You need to go to Guidepost Books.

Now, this was good news for me because I have written many stories for Guidepost books

and I've been published in many of their books.
