“When you see creation, it’s a reflection of who God is. What better way to show your kids His character than to invite them into it with you?”
In this episode of the Legacy Parenting Podcast, we’re diving into the joy, purpose, and eternal value of family adventures—not for the sake of activity, but for the sake of discipleship. Whether you're hiking a trail, camping under the stars, or simply walking the sidewalk in your neighborhood, God has woven His character into creation—and it’s meant to be seen.
Through personal stories and biblical encouragement from Psalm 19 and Deuteronomy 6, we explore how intentional family time—especially in God’s creation—cultivates wonder, conversation, and connection. You don’t have to be an outdoorsy family to start this. You just need margin, intentionality, and eyes to see God’s handiwork.
Key Takeaways:
- Why your kids’ sense of wonder is a God-given gift meant to be nurtured
- How Psalm 19 shows us that creation proclaims the character of God
- Practical ways to create family adventures (no camping gear required!)
- Why margin matters—and how overscheduling robs you of relational discipleship
- How outdoor time becomes a natural platform for gospel conversations
- The importance of quiet, curiosity, and unhurried time in shaping your child’s heart
Whether you're already planning hikes or just figuring out how to slow down, this episode will give you both biblical vision and practical encouragement for raising kids who see God in the world He made.
