Kids used to play outside for hours. Now they game or stay on their phones for hours indoors. How can you get your screen-saturated kids to put down their devices and head outdoors? Eryn Lynum, author of Rooted in Wonder, is here to help us fall in love with God's creation as a family. You don't have to live on a beach or near a national park to enjoy the many benefits of nature. In this conversation, you'll learn about: 

3:10 Getting your kids interested in nature 

6:00 Boys are drawn to the wildest things 

8:30 Connecting the dots between the created world and the Creator

13:40 Invasive plants and what they teach us about technology 

17:00 Nature is not relative - there are definitive truths about nature

20:00 Going into creation to sort your thoughts and get perspective

22:50 Practical ideas to get outside even with little kids 

25:11 Word of encouragement to the non-outdoorsy people
