We were looking for bedtime stories and didn’t want any scary or “fluffy” stories, and this is where we ended up at! A fun way to stack stories, nature, and the Creator—all in one easy format for us to stick with! Great job!

JStru52 · Sep 2026

We listen every week and it’s become part of our homeschool. My kids love it!

Elisabeth Carol · Sep 2026

We absolutely love Nat Theo! My 8-, 5-, and 4-year-olds listen to it every morning on our way to school, and it has quickly become one of our favorite parts of our daily routine. I honestly love it just as much as they do. Every episode encourages my heart to slow down, look at God’s wonderful, beautiful, incredible creation, and recognize His greatness. I love that it doesn’t just teach my kids about God, but constantly reminds me of His authority and goodness in my own life too. It’s such a beautiful way to start our mornings and get our hearts and minds pointed toward God before we even get to school. We’re so grateful for this podcast!

Becky Nuttall · Aug 2026

Our entire family loves listening and learning from this podcast! It has been a huge blessing as a supplement to our homeschooling, especially in busier seasons when it’s hard to get much schooling done, I still know they are learning so much just by listening to these episodes. Often we’ll head to the library and check out more books about the topic afterwards. Love the connection to the Bible and God’s Word, and how well Eryn explains complex scientific topics in a way that’s easy for kids and adults alike to understand.
