Raising Kids with Wonder: How Family Adventures Point to God’s Character
“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:
