034 | This Is My Father’s World - Part 1

Hey Dads,

We believe that God created the natural world . . . but how often do we get out in it? And are we leading our children to learn about nature as a way of growing their faith in the Creator? Tune in today to learn why and how nature stories can be an important part of your family culture and education.

--Nathan

Why should we as Christian dads read nature stories to and with our families?

1. Because the natural world (the creation) gives us real glimpses of God’s wisdom and power.
2. Because the natural world illustrates spiritual truths.
3. Because learning about nature reminds us of the fact that God created us, using great wisdom and lovingkindness.
4. Because hearing a nature story can teach us humility.
5. Because nature stories can show our children (and us) that God’s revealed word does not clash with reality but rather corresponds with reality.
