CPH Podcast Interview: "Lean in to Christ" Concordia Podcast Host, Elizabeth Pittman, is joined by Deb Burma for this engaging, timely topic:  Many women have heard the call to "lean in" as a rallying cry of empowerment - of achieving their goals and overcoming inequality. While there's nothing wrong with striving for success, what if this call to "lean in" is pointing us in the wrong direction? Where should we be leaning towards for true wisdom, protection, and peace?

Live Presentation Audio Recording at BPM Conference: "Lean on Jesus" In a culture that promotes self-empowerment, we're taught to stand on our own two feet, to proverbially "pull ourselves up by our bootstraps." What happens, then, when we trip and fall? When we realize we’re weak? weary? lacking self-strength? Let’s learn to promote a different posture: LEANING. In this session, we’ll see what Scripture says about leaning…first, on the Lord, and also, on one another. From this posture, we’re reminded that we receive all we need as we lean on Jesus. As we trust Him with all our heart and lean not on our own understanding. (Prov. 3:5)

What's YOUR storm story? Maybe you’ve been showered with turbulent situations unique to you; perhaps you're drenched in a downpour of division caused by sin, or battered by shame or sorrow. How can you possibly “be still” amid any such storm? In this session, we will share our storm stories... Then we'll unpack promises found in Psalm 46 and fulfilled in Christ, the One who hears your cries for help and leads you in truth. Jesus knows your storm; He sees your need; He is your refuge. Be still and know.
