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.
