What if your dream isn’t a straight line but a winding path that God is faithfully unfolding? 

That’s the story we’re exploring today with my returning guest Eryn Lynum. I interviewed Eryn in 2017, (eight years ago!) about her first book, 936 Pennies; it was her very first podcast guest appearance ever! What neither of us could have predicted then was how that tiny step of obedience would lead to something much bigger. 

Now Eryn is a Bible teacher, certified master naturalist, and host of the wildly successful Nat Theo Podcast, where she helps families and children discover God’s truth through His creation. In this episode, we trace her journey—from saying yes to an unfamiliar opportunity, to watching God bring her dream to life in the most unexpected way.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
 🦋 What a caterpillar reveals about waiting on God’s timing,
 🚶 Why you don’t need all the answers before you begin, and
 💡 How your purpose unfolds through imperfect, faithful steps

This conversation is a powerful reminder that God is always at work—even when we don’t know what comes next.

Whatever stage you’re at—whether you’re just beginning or walking out a long-held dream—take heart. God isn’t in a rush, and He’s not finished with your story. Keep showing up in faith, one small yes at a time, and trust that He’s doing more than you can imagine, even in the waiting.

You may not see the full picture now, but God does—and He’s shaping you along the way.
