Curiosity is essential to growth. A little curiosity moves us
deeper into the lives of the people around us. A little curiosity
leads to opportunities we never knew existed. A little curiosity
helps us understand our own strange emotions. A little curiosity,
if focused on Jesus, will make us more like him. Pastor and
spiritual director Casey Tygrett loves to ask questions. "There's a
difficult line to walk between what we need to know and what falls
into the realm of mystery," he writes. "Walking that line often
wears on our nerves and causes incredible tension, and so we settle
for easy answers. We stop asking questions. We give up. We begin to
lose the one thing that fiercely energizes the transformation of
our souls-something beautiful, poetic, joyful, and happily
disruptive: curiosity.? When we make curiosity a spiritual
practice, we open up to new ways of knowing God and knowing
ourselves as well. Come and discover the power of asking questions.

Spiritual Formation What if our memories are like shells we gather
on a beach? According to pastor and spiritual director Casey
Tygrett, "We-and all those who have come before us-pick up the
experience and we sense it: we feel its edges, notice its color, we
smell the distinctive character (for shells it is the sickly
seafood salt smell) of the experience and we try to make sense of
what it is. Is it beautiful? How would you describe the color-the
tones, the shades, wrapped around the ridges and swirls? Has it
been damaged? Does the hard edge scrape our hand, leaving a blemish
or a mark?" How we hold and carry these memories-good and bad-is a
part of what forms us spiritually. In this way we have a common
bond with the people of Scripture who also had a sensory life,
gathering shells and trying to make sense of them. In these pages
Casey Tygrett explores the power of memory and offers biblical
texts and practices to guide us in bringing our memories to God for
spiritual transformation.
