What if the key to a deeper relationship with God lies in the way we remember? In this episode, spiritual director and author Casey Tygrett joins us to explore how memory shapes our identity and faith journey. Together, we discuss how embracing spiritual practices that center on intimacy, rather than punishment, can help us unlearn harmful narratives about God. Casey shares insights on remembering as a path to healing, especially in addressing generational trauma that influences our beliefs. We also delve into the role of lament in processing painful memories and the wisdom we gain from them. Finally, we reflect on the Lord's Supper as a symbol of unity and love, and why pastors must prioritize wellness for the health of their ministry.   Casey Tygrett (D.Min.) is a pastor and spiritual director who has lived in the spiritual formation conversation for the last two decades. He is the author of Becoming Curious: A Spiritual Practice of Asking Questions, The Practice of Remembering: Uncovering the Place of Memories in Our Spiritual Life and The Gift of Restlessness: A Spirituality for Unsettled Seasons. He is passionate about the soul health of leaders and the recovery of the transformational way of Jesus that is spiritual formation. He, his wife Holley, and daughter Bailey live in Chicago, IL. www.caseytygrett.com @caseytygrett   Episodes Referenced (Previous Episode with Casey): Casey Tygrett: https:/https://futurechristian.podbean.com/e/casey/   Presenting Sponsor: Phillips Seminary Join conversations that expose you to new ideas, deepen your commitment and give insights to how we can minister in a changing world.  Supporting Sponsors: Restore Clergy If you are clergy in need of tailored, professional support to help you manage the demands of ministry, Restore Clergy is for you!

Forgiveness is a foundational characteristic of God's kingdom. We understand this easily when we consider our own forgiveness, but how often do we recognize this is also true of our forgiving one another? This month, we seek to respond to God's invitation to forgive as we have been forgiven.  This week, Casey Tygrett invited us to consider how Mark 11:25 invites us to cut our connection to the anger, disappointment, and hurt we so often hold onto that holds us back from a fruit-filled kingdom life.

There's a phrase from the back of a book that is worth noting. It says, “How we hold and carry our memories – good and bad – is a part of what forms us spiritually.” Memory is universal, we all have memories that form us, shape us and influence us and often in ways that we don't even notice. But what happens when we turn our attention and intention at our memories? What happens when we turn remembering into a spiritual practice? In today's episode Doable Discipleship host and Saddleback Church pastor Jason Wieland is joined by Casey Tygrett, theologian in residence at Parkview Christian Church in Illinois, spiritual director at SoulCare, host of the Restlessness Is a Gift podcast, and author of The Practice of Remembering – the book where the quote from earlier is from. Casey and Jason talk about how focusing on memory has impacted his ministry, how we see the call to remember so often in Scripture, what a practice of remembering can look like, specifically when thinking about past hurt or grief, and much more. Doable Discipleship is a Saddleback Church podcast produced and hosted by the Saddleback Spiritual Growth Team.

Advent is a season of waiting and longing. Through history, the church has identified the weeks leading up to Christmas as a time of preparation, a season to notice our deep and innate longing for Jesus. We anticipate the coming of the Christ child and his presence with us today, and we wait in hope-filled longing for the day when he will come again. As we journey together through Advent this year, we will seek to consider, welcome, and hold our longings as we anticipate the coming of Jesus. We hope for his presence with us today, and we look forward to the day of his return when everything sad will become untrue. This week, Casey Tygrett invited us to consider the longing we see revealed in the Psalms of David. For some additional resources, please visit our website.

When Jonah was in the belly of the fish, he was in the in-between, a frustrating spot called restlessness. Restlessness is the unsettled, irritated seasons where we are stuck in the present tense. These times are hard to be in, but often, they are where we are transformed! It is in the belly where we become the people God made us to be. If you are in the belly right now, don't run, but instead ask God to meet you where you are and bring new life. “… I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” John 10:10To support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, click here: http://bit.ly/2NZkdrC Support the show

No one asks for restless moments. No one wants to feel irritated, unsettled, or stuck. But what if restlessness is normal, healthy, and even holy? And what if we need to pay attention to our restlessness as an invitation from God?   In the episode, Casey Tygrett, author of The Gift of Restlessness: A Spirituality for Unsettled Seasons, helps us unpack a new way to view restlessness.   Casey holds a Master of Divinity and a Doctor of Ministry in Spiritual formation. He is a Spiritual Director and the director of spiritual direction practice for Soul Care, which helps church and nonprofit leaders restore health to their souls. He is also the author of Becoming Curious: A Spiritual Practice of Asking Questions, and As I Recall: Discovering the Place of Memories in Our Spiritual Life. And he is the host of the podcast Restlessness Is A Gift.   Some highlights from our conversation: Casey defines restlessness as that unsettled feeling when we feel stuck in the present, know we can't go back to the way things used to be, and we are uncertain about the future. Casey shares that restlessness is a gift because it leads to formation. It helps us ask deeper questions about ourselves and God. We discuss the meditation passage from Mark 1:9-13 and how even Jesus, the beloved Son of God, was led into the wilderness and a season of restlessness. We talk about how this should encourage us. And Casey shares how the phrase “and the wild beasts and angels attended him” gave him a deeper understanding of what restlessness is like. Casey asks deep questions throughout his book, and we discuss one of them: What is my purpose? Casey shares how purpose can get distorted to be one specific thing, and while it can sometimes be that, the bigger question is about love. Don't miss this section to hear Casey's insight on love as the big purpose of our life. We discuss how to know if restlessness is an invitation from God to make a change – or just something we need to push through. Casey highly recommends Spiritual Direction as one way to discern. Spiritual Direction can create a safe space to sort through the questions and listen for God's next steps. I asked Casey to walk us through a season where he processed through restlessness. Casey shared two questions he asks when he's walking through restlessness: Do you trust God? And Does God trust you? We end by talking through the Lord's prayer and how Casey felt each line was in response to our big questions. This is ultimately how Casey structured his book.   You can connect with Casey at: https://www.caseytygrett.com/ On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cktygrettauthor On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cktygrett/ On Twitter: https://twitter.com/cktygrett   Ready to explore Spiritual Direction?

We talk a lot on this podcast about God's gift of rest. But I wonder if you've ever thought about the gift of restlessness. Today, I'm talking with a long-time friend of the podcast, Casey Tygrett, about his new book, The Gift of Restlessness. In fact, Casey was among the first interviews we did when we launched the Unhurried Living podcast nearly six years ago. That was episode #16 and we talked about his first book, Becoming Curious. Casey speaks with the compassion and wisdom of a spiritual director. You're going to appreciate what he has to share.  Casey Tygrett earned a Master of Divinity degree and Doctor of Ministry in Spiritual Formation degree from Lincoln Christian Seminary (Lincoln, IL).  He completed the Tending the Holy spiritual direction training program in 2015, and since then has been able to provide spiritual direction to individuals both privately and as the Director of Spiritual Direction at Soul Care. Soul Care provides spiritual direction to church, parachurch, and non-for-profit leaders so that they can lead from a place of soul health & soul flourishing. He is the author of Becoming Curious: A Spiritual Practice of Asking Questions (2017) and The Practice of Remembering: Discovering the Place of Memories in Our Spiritual Life. The book The Practice of Remembering was awarded the 2020 Award of Merit in Spiritual Formation by Christianity Today. You can connect with Casey on Instagram @caseytygrettConnect with Alan on LinkedIn @alanfadling

God speaks this blessing over Jesus: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.” And then leads him straight into the wilderness.   Wait… what?   Have you ever wondered why? And if Jesus was led into the wilderness, what does that say about our own wilderness seasons?   Listen in and meditate on Mark 1. As you do, allow the Spirit to help you notice something from these words that applies to your own life.   Once you've listened to this Scripture Experience podcast, head over to the next episode and listen to the interview with author Casey Tygrett (posted 4.26.23). We discuss how wilderness seasons are restless seasons. And how restlessness can actually be a gift in our life.   You can find Jodie at http://www.jodieniznik.com/ Instagram @creatingspaceforgod Facebook @JodieGNiznik Download free sample chapters from my Bible studies here.   The exact verses read in this podcast are printed here for your use: Mark 1:9-13 9 At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 10 Just as Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw heaven being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. 11 And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.” 12 At once the Spirit sent him out into the wilderness, 13 and he was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan.

Restlessness is not comfortable. We'd rather not spend too much time dwelling on thoughts of missing out… or of doubt… or spend too much time dwelling on mundanity of life. That's not a comfortable place to be. So when someone like Casey Tygrett comes along suggesting that restlessness is a gift because it opens us […]

Whenever that feeling of uncertainty about the life we've created creeps in, it can be easy to try to solve it with quick fixes like getting a new haircut, ending a relationship, finding a new job, or moving to a new city. But what if those uncomfortable periods are actually an opportunity? Casey Tygrett, author of The Gift of Restlessness: A Spirituality for Unsettled Seasons, has been examining the very human state of being restless. He says that, although it can be intensely uncomfortable, it can also be a kind of gift.

This year during Lent, we are diving into a very intentional journey with the spiritual practice of lament. Lament is a good and proper response when we come face to face with the brokenness in ourselves and in the world. During this holy season, we will enter into an experiment which helps us make space in our lives for lament. This week, Casey Tygrett helped us explore the need to lament our sin. He helped us locate our true identity in God's story. Casey said, "Lament for our sin is expressing deep sadness when we forget who we are." You can find the handout here. And if you are joining us in the experiment and are not a part of a Table, will you let us know here? We would love to support your experiment. A tax-deductible gift can be given to The Practice Church here.  If you are committed to being a part of the local community that is The Practice Church, would you take a moment to join the Plant Team?

The Way of Presence: The Empowering Reality of God-With-Us launches September 8.

It is a vital and organic reality. I walk with Jesus as the way. I see myself through the eyes of Jesus as the truth. I live my every moment in communion with Jesus as the life. The Way of Presence will help you enter more deeply into this living reality.Check out another Unhurried Living podcast with Casey Tygrett on his book "Becoming Curious".Connect with Casey on social at:Instagram @cktygrettFacebook @cktyrgettauthorwww.caseytygrett.com Connect with Alan on social at:Instagram @AlanFadlingFacebook @AlanFadlingwww.unhurriedliving.com

So many of us are overwhelmed in this season. We're facing waves of uncertainty, anxiety, sadness, boredom, anger, fear... this is a season fraught with turmoil. It's in these times of upheaval that we need more prayer, not less; more spiritual practice, not less; more contemplation, not less, so that we may stand in the face of uncertainty and anxiety confident in the presence of our Creator, filled with his love and mercy. We have long sat in the historic practices of spiritual formation as a community. These concrete practices and meditations help us anchor our hearts in something deeper than the news cycle. We don't need more content or ideas, we need to be graciously guided into holy spaces where our Creator can do what only love can do. Why? Because we're in this for the long haul. Without a stronger connection to God our efforts will fizzle out and fade away as our minds, hearts, bodies, and souls break down under the weight of the work. Together, let us try these practices at home. Let us sit with the holy and be guided well into he presence of God. Casey lives just south of Chicago. His mission is to create a way of seeing spiritual formation that embraces and welcomes those who feel left behind: by church, by others, even by God.

We’re connecting the dots between the things that really matter and our everyday, ordinary lives. Today, I sit down with Casey Tygrett to talk about memories. We talk about how they influence our lives and communities and how God might be inviting us into a larger story of redemption through spiritual practices. It’s a wide-ranging conversation — from memories of God’s people in the bible, to how God might make our memories sacred again, and how pain fits into the picture. Plus we talk about how the soul is like a burrito. Listen in. Casey Tygrett is an author, pastor, and host of the otherWISE podcast. His new book is called As I Recall: Discovering the Place of Memories In Our Spiritual Life . He is also the author of Becoming Curious: A Spiritual Practice of Asking Questions.

Write down the who, what, when, and where. Involve your senses. Tell a concrete story with details. Then take just 2 minutes of solitude and silence and ask God: What might you be wanting me to do or know from this memory? Invite the Spirit of God in to your memories. It’s part of how we experience God’s presence in a daily way. Don’t forget to pick up a copy of As I Recall for more great practices. Casey is a trusted guide to walk alongside you. And — make sure you tag us to talk more! Because big things matter but so does the laundry!

We don't often think about spiritual formation in terms of curiosity and memory, but we should, according to Casey Tygrett. This was a fun podcast episode! The post Curiosity and Memory in Spiritual Formation with Casey Tygrett appeared first on Gravity Leadership.

In today's conversation we have the chance to talk with Carol Berry, artist and author of Learning From Henri Nouwen and Vincent Van Gogh: A Portrait of the Compassionate Life.We talk about the lived, incarnational kind of wisdom that both Nouwen and Van Gogh exhibited in their life and work. Also, we talk about the intersection of these two luminous figures with Carol and her husband's life in ministry from L.A. to the northeast. Carol Berry presents us with a clear picture of what the compassionate life really looks like by asking us to see things through the lens of the psychologist/priest and the “failed” missionary artist.Carol Berry is an artist, educator and lecturer at the Vermont Humanities Council. She has also published chapters in the books Compassionate Eschatology: The Future as Friend and Turning the Wheel: Henri Nouwen and Our Search for God.

This week's conversation is a BIT different as it is an ACTUAL conversation.Our guest, Austin Gohn, generously suggested that we spend some time the similarities and intersections of two recent books. Austin's recent book, A Restless Age: How Saint Augustine Helps You Make Sense of Your Twenties is closely aligned with your “esteemed” host's, As I Recall: Discovering the Place of Memories In Our Spiritual Life.In this conversation, we talk about St. Augustine and how the restlessness of young adults today mirrors the restlessness of Augustine himself. What might Augustine have to say to our restlessness these days?We also tap into how memories and specifically the writing of a spiritual autobiography can be extremely helpful to our present and future spiritual growth.Austin Gohn (M.Div., Trinity School for Ministry) is one of the pastors of Bellevue Christian Church in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He has written for Fathom Mag, Gospel-Centered Discipleship, The Living Church (Covenant), and The Gospel Coalition.

On 5.19.19, Casey Tygrett guided us through the important role our memories play in the formation of wisdom. “To be ready for what is to come,” he said, “we are invited by God's Spirit to learn from where we have already been.” For more on this important topic, check out Casey's recent book As I Recall: Discovering the Place of Memories in Our Spiritual Life.  

Who am I? What am I about? If you have ever asked yourself those kinds of questions, then you likely have also had to look back at your story. Author and spiritual director, Casey Tygrett, says that remembering your past is often one of the most courageous things you can do.  He spent the past few years researching and unpacking the idea that we are who we are, because of our memories. And his newest book, As I Recall: Discovering the Place of Memories in Our Spiritual Life, speaks to these questions and more. Casey serves as Theologian in Residence at Parkview Christian Church near Chicago, Illinois. He and his wife, Holley, have been married for 18 years and have one daughter, Bailey. I’m deeply grateful for the work that Casey is doing. We talk about letting God redeem our past, for the good of our present.

If I told you that your memories didn't belong to you, would you believe me? Probably not, right? And that's because unless we share our memories with another person, no one else will know about them. But there has been two recurring themes have come up throughout our conversation this week with Casey. The first one is that we need give our memories over to God so he can redeem them through his love and grace. And the second is that we be walking with someone else in order to process these memories and make space for the Holy Spirit to do this work in us. And today's chapter is about we can combine both of these practices into one. Because Casey serves as a Spiritual Director I wanted to ask him how walking with a Spiritual director could help us find Jesus in our own lives.

The way God created us never ceases to amaze me. It seems as though every part of our being has some sort of connection to every other part. And even though we don't always recognize connections, they are at work in our lives shaping us into the people we are. For instance, it's amazing that small, consistent actions each day can end up defining your entire life. Our habits, like our memories define who we are. And there is a powerful interplay between the two. One forms the other, which forms the other, and so on. And because of our conversation with Casey, I'm more convinced than ever that God created it this way. Our memories are the record of the past. Our habits are the projection of the future. It would seem like they would be at odds with one another as each attempts to pull us in opposite directions. But in fact the opposite is true. When we allow our habits and memories to work together, we find God's grace working in our lives to redeem our memories so that we may create new habits of walking with Him. Check out the full show notes and resources for this episode at dailygrowthdiscipleship.com.

In 2 Corinthians 1, Paul said, "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God." You probably have a painful memory. It's hard to make it much past early childhood without some sort of painful experience that shapes who you are for the rest of your life. There's good news though. These painful memories can find healing as you begin to work through them with the Holy Spirit and with another person. In this chapter, Casey talks about a few of the tools he's found and developed for healing memories and allowing God to redeem the painful experiences of our lives. It's not an easy journey to take, but it's well worth it because redeemed memories always become tools that God can use to help others find healing as well. Check out the full show notes and resources for this episode at dailygrowthdiscipleship.com.

Who you are right now, comes from who you were yesterday and the day before that and the day before that. Who you are right now comes from your experiences and your memories. This is especially true of the way you view God and your identity in Christ. The experiences you had growing up affect the way you see God now. In this chapter, Casey unpacks how important it is to surround ourselves with the true story of the Gospel. And it's in remembering the Gospel that we form new memories that will in turn shape who we are in the future.

Curiosity is one of the most important qualities in a good leader. We’ve seen the fruit of that counsel in our life and work. Today we share a conversation that Alan enjoyed with Casey Tygrett about his new book, Becoming Curious: A Spiritual Practice of Asking Questions. As a spiritual director, I have a bias for asking good questions. I love what Casey has written here, and it was a pleasure to interact with him about the journey that led to this book. We need to learn to resist the temptation to form easy answers when God might be leading us to live with a good question for a season. We give people a gift when we ask them a loving, thoughtful questions, and then give them the time is takes to listen well to their response. I hope you’ll enjoy today’s episode. Casey Tygrett is a pastor, blogger, adjunct seminary professor, and spiritual director who serves as the teaching pastor at Heartland Community Church in Rockford, Illinois. Casey's heart and passion is that writing is not just information, it can reveal the beauty of God as art. He is the author of Becoming Curious: A Spiritual Practice of Asking Questions.

Our special guest is Dr. Casey Tygrett, author of the book Becoming Curious: A Spiritual Practice of Asking Questions. Curiosity is essential to growth. A little curiosity moves us deeper into the lives of the people around us. It leads to opportunities we never knew existed. A little curiosity helps us understand our own strange emotions. If it is focused on Jesus, it 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. 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. Casey Tygrett (DMin, Lincoln Christian Seminary) is a pastor, blogger, adjunct seminary professor, and spiritual director who serves as the teaching pastor at Heartland Community Church in Rockford, Illinois. He was previously pastor of spiritual formation at Parkview Community Church in Tinley Park, Illinois, and has taught at Lincoln Christian University and Seminary and Emmanuel Christian Seminary. He is the author of The Jesus Rhythm and has written for The Christian Standard, TheOoze.com, and the Apprentice Institute blog. Visit Dr. Tygrett's website at www.caseytygrett.com
