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.
