Casey Tygrett | Becoming Curious
Curiosity is a life raft. ~ Casey Tygrett
Have you ever thought of curiosity as a spiritual discipline? I never did until I met Casey Tygrett.
Casey is a pastor, spiritual director, and author of Becoming Curious : A Spiritual Practice of Asking Questions (coming May 2 ~ yay!). Casey lives in Rockford, Illinois with his wife and daughter where he serves as the teaching pastor at Heartland Community Church in Rockford, Illinois.

THINGS TO THINK ABOUT
I think sometimes we need to get a little bit of a shake so that we don’t get to the point where God is no longer amazing. ~ Casey Tygrett
I think a lot of curiosity is killed by shame. ~ Susie Davis
God is at work in very small miracles. ~ Casey Tygrett
Curiosity is wondering about the bigness of God even in tense situations or disagreeable situations. ~ Susie Davis
I see people losing track of God, and a great deal of that has to do with being able to see Him where He is, instead of looking for Him where He should be. ~ Casey Tygrett
Our relationship with God is enhanced by other people, but it’s still just me and God at the end. ~ Susie Davis
