Nat Theo Nature Lessons Rooted in the Bible

by The Natural Theology Project

Have you ever wondered why God made mosquitoes? How an axolotl can regrow parts of its body? If a snail is born with a shell? Or why an octopus has three hearts? Welcome to Nat Theo (Nat = Natural, Theo = Theology), a Bible-based nature and science podcast for curious kids and their families! Join Master Naturalist, Bible teacher, and author Eryn Lynum as we explore fascinating creatures, incredible science, and the truths of God’s Word. Through engaging stories, surprising facts, and memorable nature lessons, children discover how creation points to its Creator. From tiny insects and backyard birds to capybaras, axolotls, dinosaurs, oceans, weather, space, and more, each episode helps families develop a biblical worldview while growing in faith and wonder. Whether you homeschool or attend public, private, or Christian school, Nat Theo makes a fun and educational addition to your family’s week. It’s science rooted in Scripture, nature study filled with wonder, and biblical truth you can carry with you wherever they go. The Natural Theology Project helps families nurture faith and wonder through Bible-based nature study, science curriculum, and the Nat Theo podcast.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

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.
