Curtis: I write in my book about Bugs Bunny cartoons. In Curtis's book, he disagrees with Bugs Bunny's theology as portrayed. When you grow up, watch Bugs Bunny, and you think about heaven, your ideas are formed somewhat by these cartoons,. And when you go to church, they're always talking about how, oh, I can't wait to get to heaven.
Curtis Chang, the regular host of the Good Faith podcast, takes a turn in the “guest seat” in this special episode in which Nancy French interviews him about his new book, The Anxiety Opportunity: How Worry Is the Doorway to Your Best Self. Curtis, who has suffered from anxiety to the point of losing his job as a senior pastor, offers up hard-earned wisdom that could transform one’s view on parenting, relationships, and even politics. Curtis also talks about the way the church gets anxiety wrong, how Jesus dealt with anxious people, and how grieving is a necessary component of effectively walking through loss.
