Thrilling Guest Thursday: Tracy Flori

Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is the way ; walk in it."

(Isaiah 30:21 NIV)

Please welcome my friend, Tracy Flori. Her devotion to Jesus marks every aspect of her life. In our conversations, I experience God's quiet confidence, wisdom and love flowing through her. She is a gifted listener and asks powerful questions.

As we spend time contemplating new ways to encounter God in our quiet moments each day, I encourage you to ask questions. I challenge you to take Tracy's questions to heart and see how your answers may lead you into new adventures with God.


Here's Tracy!

Curiosity and Intuition: Friend or Foe?

How curious are you? What level of comfort do you have with gut feelings?

Imagine the adventures that might open up for you by embracing curiosity and intuition in your relationships and your world.

What do curiosity and intuition look like?

Curiosity is an eager desire to learn by calling attention to what might be. Intuition is an immediate knowing without the connection to reason or logic. It is a hunch, a quick insight, a gut feeling.

Curiosity and intuition foster openness, learning and growth in relationships. It believes there is something worth discovering in another person or experience.

What might be the hesitancy?

For some, this comes more naturally than for others. Some of us are born with an innately curious nature and a driving desire to test the hunch we often have, while others are more comfortable with the obvious and observable.

For myself, as a Christian coach, experiencing intuition and curiosity in the coaching process brings freedom for me to be willing to let go of what I think I know in order to join the Holy Spirit and client on a journey of exploration. There is excitement in embracing the idea of not knowing and trusting in the One who does.

How did Jesus use curious questions?

Jesus often asked powerful questions that invited his followers to test their beliefs and search for meaning and truth. He asked, “Who do the people say that the Son of Man is?” This question elicited discussion and exploration of common views and possibilities.

But the next question, “Who do you say I am?” was a marvelous question that allowed his disciples the opportunity to explore what drove them to be his followers, what they truly believed about him and what they were willing to sacrifice.


Can curiosity and intuition be increased through practice with amazing results? Absolutely!

Ask yourself the following…

What makes you curious?
What captures your attention?
How likely is it that you will pursue a hunch?
What holds you back?

Exploring and practicing this approach to life and relationships will open new opportunities to you.

What steps will you take today 

to develop curiosity and intuition?
