Quotes from Barnabas:
Curiosity is actively, intentionally pursuing truth - a sensitivity to what God is doing & has done.
Curiosity starts with God, with the questions "Who is God" & "Who am I?"
If God is infinite, we never run out of opportunities to discover about Him.
Curiosity is related to emotional intelligence, & emotional intelligence is profoundly important in a healthy workplace.
A lot of leaders stop in their growth because they lose their curiosity.
