The Leadership Series: Breanna Lathrop 
Host: Steve Noblett

A few years ago, I picked up a great book through InterVarsity Press called "How Neighborhoods Make Us Sick, Restoring Health and Wellness to Our Communities". I was delighted to find out that it was authored by two ladies who work at Good Samaritan Health Clinic in Atlanta. 

One of those ladies is Breanna Lathrop. We connected, and she's been a big part of CCHF ever since. Breanna's a great champion for Christian health care and for addressing social determinants of health as an exercise in loving our communities as Jesus does. She's a DMP with a master's in public health. And at the time of this interview, she was serving as the Chief Operating officer at Good Samaritan Health Center in Atlanta and is the Board Chair for CCHF.

Breanna's done a lot of workshops for CCHF conferences over the years, and I asked her to be a plenary speaker at the 2024 conference. Her talk was amazing! And if you were not there, you should look it up on our website at cchf.org or on YouTube. It was my privilege to sit down with her the night before her plenary sessions and just talk. This is that talk, and I hope you enjoy it.

Breanna co-authored a book titled "How Neighborhoods Make Us Sick: Restoring Health and Wellness to Our Communities". You can currently purchase her book on Amazon: https://a.co/d/iQSxWHp

The Legacy Series: Susan Post
Host: Steve Noblett

For almost 20 years, Susan Post has served as the CEO for Esperanza Health Center in North Philadelphia. She has been a mentor to many and has become a true pillar in the CCHF community. Her story of following Christ and how she has grown in her walk with Jesus through her experience in North Philadelphia is inspiring. I hope you are as encouraged and challenged by her dedication to Christ and her love for her community as I have been. 

“When I made the decision to follow God into North Philly, I didn’t see the danger. I didn’t see the trash. I didn’t see this as a dirty place and all the reasons why I shouldn’t come. Instead, I just saw people all over the place…and I felt like God was saying, ‘These are going to be your people, and you are going to be their person’, sort of like an arranged marriage…and that brought me a lot of joy.” 
                                                                                                               ~Susan Post

Susan Post is a great example of what it means to live intentionally and incarnationally. She has been an exceptional leader at Esperanza, leading with humility and faith. We have a lot more to learn from her in the coming years.  

If you enjoyed this podcast, please like and subscribe, and share it with others. I pray that you will come to see communities in your cities that others avoid and neglect with the same hope and love that Susan sees Hunting Park and Kensington. And I hope you will look for opportunities to meet Susan and other like her at the next CCHF conference.
