Curtis Childs

Director of Off The Left Eye
B.A. in Communications, Oakland University

While obtaining his degree in communication studies from Oakland University, Curtis experienced an internal battle with depression that led him to question God and his lifelong interest in Swedenborgian theology. After a period of intense suffering, he recovered from his depression with the help of modern medicine, therapy, and a return to the spiritually uplifting messages he found in Swedenborg’s writings. Now, Curtis is applying his education and desire to help others find peace through Swedenborg’s insights by producing and hosting this weekly webcast. He’s happiest when he can use Swedenborg’s concepts to help someone solve something they used to think was unsolvable.

Curtis has appeared on many international radio shows, podcasts, and YouTube shows, such as Talk GnosisSunday Morning SpiritualThe Butterfly MomentDark Thirty RadioWe Don’t Die Radio, and has been a speaker at several conferences including TCCHE and IANDS.
