278. How Being in Nature Helps Your Mental and Emotional Health, Part 1

Today's Heartlift with Janell

"I’ve kept my feet on the ground,
I’ve cultivated a quiet heart."
-Psalm 131:2, The Message
How can the quietness of nature soothe a restless soul? Join me for a heartwarming conversation with Erin Lynham, a master naturalist, as we explore the profound connection between nature and spirituality. Erin's journey, sparked by her children's curiosity and her desire to understand creation more deeply, reveals how embracing nature can calm our inner worlds, as reflected in Psalm 131:2.
In her newest book, "Rooted in Wonder: Nurturing Your Family's Faith Through God's Creation," Erin helps us discover the fascinating world of natural theology and how understanding creation can deepen our understanding of the Creator. We delve into an unexpected success story—a children's podcast inspired by a simple question about Jesus's favorite bird, which led to profound insights about house sparrows.
Learn how reconnecting with nature can help us rediscover our most authentic selves, bring joy into our lives through newfound knowledge, and inspire us to embrace simplicity.
