“I Fear How I’m Wonderfully Made” Series: Part Two—The Fast and the Curious (or How to Put Off Everything to Learn Something New)

In part two of my “I Fear How Much I’m Wonderfully Made” series, I’m talking about the ADHD “curiosity engine”—that thing in my brain that locks onto an idea, digs until I know everything, and then pushes me to chase the next rabbit hole before I’ve finished what I started. I share a few of my most unexpected hyperfocus trails (yes, including the ones that make no practical sense), what they’ve cost me, and how some of them have surprisingly turned into real purpose. I also wrestle with why my curiosity can feel like both a superpower and kryptonite, and what it looks like to steward that wiring with God instead of letting it run my life. If you’ve ever felt pulled in 17 directions at once, this one’s for you.00:00 Welcome to Random Devo Thoughts00:43 What We're Talking ABout01:36 The Curiosity Engine Explained03:15 Rabbit Holes and Random Skills04:43 Life as a Reptile Hoarder06:36 I Want to Play That (NOT)08:36 Excavator Brain Just Keeps Digging09:46 Superpower and Kryptonite12:06 Stewarding Talents Not Seeds13:42 Prayer and Closing ChargeAmber Weigand-Buckley is an Amazon #1 bestselling and multi-award-winning author, podcaster, and the founding editor and art director of the multi-award-winning Leading Hearts magazine.
