In this episode of Perspectives Into Practice, I get to sit down once again with my dear friend Tiffany, and we’re diving into one of my favorite topics—how God shows Himself through creation. Tiffany and her family have visited 48 of the 63 national parks, and their journey is more than just scenic—it’s deeply spiritual. We talk about what it’s like to experience God’s majesty through mountains, deserts, and glaciers, and how even a simple hike can open your heart to His presence.

Tiffany shares how national park adventures have shaped her view of God's creativity, beauty, and power, and how these trips—though sometimes chaotic and exhausting—have drawn her family closer and revealed profound truths about God's character. Whether it was Glacier National Park moving her to tears or the unexpected peace of a wheat field in North Dakota, these awe-inspiring places have become sacred spaces of reflection and connection with the Lord.

We also talk about the character of God that’s revealed in these moments—His creativity, His care, His power—and how being in nature reminds us that if He took so much care creating this beautiful world, how much more care did He take in creating us?

As we reflect on scripture like Psalm 19:1, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands,” and the reminder from Genesis 1:31 that “God saw all that He had made, and it was very good,” we are reminded that nature itself points us back to our Creator. Tiffany also reminds us of a powerful truth from the Westminster Catechism: "The chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever," and we talk about how enjoying His creation is part of that worship.

If you’ve ever needed a reason to pause, step outside, and look up, this episode is your invitation. Whether you’re on the open road or sitting quietly in your backyard, I pray this conversation helps you see God’s presence and goodness all around you—and reminds you that even small moments outside can bring big shifts in perspective.
