Lisa Jennett is one of those people who makes you feel more alive the minute you start talking with her. She carries joy, honesty, grit, and the kind of faith that does not require you to pretend life is easier than it is. She is a voice of encouragement, creativity, and deep spiritual honesty. 

In this episode, Lisa and I talk about what it means to be fully human with God. We talk about joy, grief, forgiveness, disappointment, and what happens when faith has to meet real life in the middle of the mess.

We talk about the invitation to “be all the way human,” the tenderness of learning that “it’s going to be alright,” and the holy, messy, beautiful process of saying yes to God again and again.

This conversation is honest, funny, tender, and deeply freeing. I hope it reminds you that you do not have to perform your way into joy. You are allowed to be human. You are allowed to be in process. And somehow, even here, it really is going to be alright.

In this episode, I had the joy of sitting down with Charaia Rush, a writer and speaker based in Colorado and the author of Courageously Soft and her newest book, The Myth of Bouncing Back. Charaia carries such a rare and needed voice for this generation. She speaks with tenderness, grit, honesty, and deep spiritual wisdom for those of us who are learning how to stay soft without pretending life has not been hard.

In this conversation, we unpack the lies we often believe about resilience, especially the idea that strength means quickly getting over what hurt us. Charaia speaks so beautifully to the slow, sacred work of grief and the importance of lament as part of healing. We talk about what it means to bring our honest sorrow before God, how to stop rushing our own recovery, and why true resilience is not pretending we are fine, but allowing God to meet us in the places where we are most undone.

In her newest book, The Myth of Bouncing Back, Charaia offers a much-needed reframe around resilience. Instead of treating resilience like the ability to snap back into who we were before the heartbreak, before the failure, before the grief, before the loss, she invites us to consider something far more honest and far more holy: maybe healing is not about bouncing back at all. Maybe it is about learning how to rise for real. Her book walks readers through the process of lamenting, learning to stand again, rebuilding a beautiful life, and discovering who we are becoming on the other side of life’s hardest falls. 

I pray this conversation gives you permission to stop rushing your process, to bring your lament honestly before God, and to believe that even here, even now, even slowly, you can rise again.

My best friend, who is sunshine embodied, Anjel Murphy flips the script and takes the host seat in today’s episode, and what unfolds is less of an interview and more of an honest, unfiltered conversation between two friends who have walked through a lottttt of life together.

As you can probably imagine, we don’t stay on one straight path for long. But somewhere in the middle of it all, we find ourselves unpacking the sacred, stretching, and sometimes messy beauty of friendship. From the fine line between deep love and co-dependency, to what it looks like to call each other higher and disagree.  

There’s something profoundly holy about having people in your life who won’t just sit beside you in your pain, but who will lovingly, faithfully lower you into the presence of the Lord when you don’t have the strength to get there on your own.

This episode is a little bit everywhere… but also exactly where it needed to go. And truly, it wouldn’t be a conversation between Anjel and I if it wasn’t. ;) 

A Gentle Reminder: This podcast is rooted in real, human conversations -- captured in a moment in time. The thoughts shared here are not meant to be prescriptive or absolute, but an invitation to explore, reflect, and engage more deeply in your own relationship with God. We’re so grateful you’re here. 

How do you sit down with the Hepworth’s to talk about prayer without quoting Tim Keller every five minutes? Apparently, you don’t. LOL Sorry, not sorry! 

In this episode, Zac and I open up a deeply honest, unpolished conversation about prayer. Not as a formula to master, but as a relationship to return to, again, and again, and again. We explore the beauty and purity of prayer when it’s stripped of performance and pressure, and rediscovered as an ongoing, living conversation with God.

This episode is an invitation… not to pray perfectly, but to pray honestly. To come back to Scripture as a steady anchor. To remember that even in silence, even in fatigue, even in unmet longing… God is still near, still listening, still inviting us to converse with Him.

Today I’m joined by my friend Charis Meyers, a Boise-based graphic designer, artist, and all-around beautiful human, who opens up about her journey of embracing her inner artist and the freedom that has come with it.

We talk about the quiet but powerful truth that creativity isn’t reserved for a select few… it’s woven into every single one of us. And when we ignore it, we often feel it. When we suppress it, something in us starts to dim. But when we give it expression, even in small ways, something comes alive again. If you’ve ever thought “I’m not creative,” this episode is especially for you.

And if you’re local to Boise and in need of graphic design support, Charis is incredibly gifted at what she does. You can reach her at: charismeyers@gmail.com

This week on the Let Me Ask You This podcast, we’re joined by Pastor Stephen, a man whose life feels like a quiet, burning “yes” to God.

Pastor Stephen is the father of one of my dear friends, Shifa, who you heard on the podcast just a few weeks ago (you can listen to her episode here!) Getting to sit down with her dad felt like stepping into a deeper layer of her story and into a legacy of faith that has been lived out over decades.

Born and raised in India, Pastor Stephen’s life has been marked by deep devotion and unwavering obedience. From the very beginning, his story has been anchored in one pursuit: to know Jesus and to make Him known. And that pursuit has taken him across the nations, traveling the world, proclaiming the gospel, and serving people in places many of us may never go.

But what makes this conversation so powerful isn’t just where he’s been… it’s how he’s lived. There is a humility to his story. A hiddenness. A kind of faith that doesn’t strive to be seen, yet has quietly impacted countless lives. As he shares his journey—from his early years in India to the many places God has sent him, you’ll hear the weight and beauty of a life fully surrendered.

In this episode, we talk about what it really means to live devoted to God. The cost of saying yes. The beauty of obedience. And the kind of faith that carries you across continents without ever needing a spotlight.

If you’ve ever wondered what it looks like to give your whole life to the gospel… this conversation will stir something deep in you.

On this week’s episode of The Let Me Ask You This, we have our friend ⁠Benjiman Olsen.⁠

Benji is a pastor at our local church and carries such a beautiful, unique ability to invite people into Scripture. Not just to read it, but to truly experience it.

In this episode, we unpack how we actually engage with Scripture. Not as a task to complete, but as a living, breathing conversation with God. Benji gently challenges the way many of us have been taught to read the Bible and opens up a more relational, Spirit-led way of encountering it.

We talk about slowing down, asking questions, noticing what God is highlighting, and learning to approach the Word with curiosity and context instead of pressure and pretense. 

In the episode Benji mentions some incredible resources, which are linked below:

⁠Bible Project: The Gospel⁠

⁠Bible Project: What is the Bible?⁠

You guys… this conversation lit me up. The minute Laurie Krieg and I started talking, I thought, ohhh man, buckle up. This girl can preachhhhh!!!!!

Laurie Krieg is the author of Raising Kids in a Sexually Broken World and the host of a podcast centered around sexual integrity, identity, and walking in the freedom of Jesus. She carries both truth and tenderness in a way that is so needed right now.

In this episode, we talk about what it looks like to raise kids in a world that is constantly forming their understanding of sexuality, but also how we, as parents, are being formed too. This isn’t just about behavior modification or “getting it right”… it’s about allowing our own hearts to be shaped and softened, bent toward the ways of God rather than the ways of the world.

We talk practicals, yes—but even more than that, we talk posture. How do we lead with both conviction and compassion? How do we create homes where truth and grace aren’t at odds? Laurie brings so much wisdom, clarity, and Spirit-led perspective to this conversation, and I know it’s going to equip you and encourage you in the most beautiful way.

And truly—if this conversation resonates, go check out Laurie’s podcast and all of the incredible resources available on her website (INCLUDING THIS AMAZING COURSE WE MENTION IN THE EPISODE) . She is creating such rich, needed content in this space.

In this week’s episode on Let Me Ask You This, Zac joins me for a rapid-fire conversation answering marriage questions you all sent in over Instagram. We talk honestly about what we are still learning after more than a decade married and how marriage is less like a finished structure and more like a living thing that keeps evolving, stretching, and maturing over time. We unpack the importance of your individual pursuit of Jesus, the way you honor one another, and the way you lay your life down for your spouse quietly shapes the atmosphere your family grows up inside of. 

We did not get to answer even a fraction of the questions we received, so please let us know if you would like a part II to this episode! 

In this episode of Let Me Ask You This, I sit down with my dear friend Peter Mutabazi, known to many online as Foster Flipper. Peter’s story is one that stretches the imagination of what love, obedience, and the gospel can look like when lived out in everyday life.

Peter shares his journey from growing up as a vulnerable child on the margins of Uganda to becoming a father who has fostered over 48 children, adopted three, and is currently in the process of completing additional adoptions. What began with the kindness of one stranger completely changed the trajectory of his life and opened his eyes to the reality of the gospel in action.

In our conversation, Peter unpacks what the words of Jesus mean to him: “To whom much is given, much is required.” He shares how that truth has shaped the way he lives, fathers, and serves families walking the road of foster care and adoption.

Peter is also the founder of the Now I Am Known Foundation, where he continues to advocate for children and equip families stepping into the foster and adoption space. But beyond the titles and the platform, Peter is simply a father who has chosen to make room at his table again and again.

I am so grateful for Peter and his powerful testimony. My hope is that this conversation encourages you and reminds you of the incredible impact that one act of kindness can have on a life.

This week on The Let Me Ask You This Podcast are two dear friends of mine, Becca Biazon and Shifa Malfitano. Together, we unpack the idea of gifts, what they’re for, and why we’ve been given them. Ultimately communion will always supersede “calling.”

These two friends mean the world to me and I know after listening to this episode you’ll see why.

ALSO, Becca’s dad, Ryan also recently released a devotional called “Nudgings” that we mentioned in this episode! I have been going through it the past few weeks and it’s beautiful. Be sure to grab a copy! 

In this episode of Let Me Ask You This, we sit down with author, artist, and storyteller Nigel Darius to talk about his newest book, We Say Shalom: 40 Words to Cultivate Curiosity and Connection.

Nigel is a creative whose work lives at the intersection of language, culture, and reconciliation. Through story, art, and reflection, he invites us to slow down and listen more carefully—to God, to one another, and even to ourselves. His voice carries both gentleness and depth, and who he is and this book he has penned is an offering for a divided, distracted world.

In We Say Shalom, Nigel explores 40 carefully chosen words that have the power to reshape how we relate to others. Each word becomes an invitation into curiosity instead of certainty, connection instead of division, understanding instead of assumption. Be sure to get your copy today!

In this episode, I sit down with pastor, speaker, writer, and disability advocate Shelbi Shutt—a woman whose life radiates the gospel. Shelbi was diagnosed with muscular dystrophy, and her story of living faithfully, boldly, and joyfully inside that reality has reshaped the way I see weakness. Because of my own family’s journey with muscular dystrophy, our stories weave together in a way that feels sacred. 

In this episode we unpack everything from what it means to carry suffering without letting it define your identity to the nearness of God in the middle of it all. If you have ever wrestled with limitations, felt reduced to your diagnosis, your struggle, or your circumstance, or you are navigating a story you didn’t choose… You are going to feel profoundly seen in this conversation.

In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with my dear friend Chelsey Taylor to talk about one of the most tender topics of all—the ache for companionship and the tension of unfulfilled desire. Together, we unpack what it means to hold God-given dreams without losing heart when the waiting feels long and the answers seem silent.

Chelsey vulnerably shares how she’s learned to look for arrows that point to hope instead of demanding explanations and answers—how to stay rooted in trust when nothing seems to move forward, and how to keep her heart open to beauty even in seasons of longing.

If you’ve ever felt the weight of waiting or wondered what to do with the desire that won’t go away, this conversation is for you. I pray you feel seen, comforted, and reminded that hope is never wasted.

In this week’s episode, I sit down with my dear friend Laura Douglass (@lauramdoug), a woman who embodies peace and carries an uncommon grace for encouraging women in the sacred gift of hiddenness. Laura’s life is a quiet yet radiant testimony of what it looks like to behold Jesus in every season, and her devotion drips with purity and presence.

Together, we unpack the beauty of silence and solitude, what it means to take our thoughts captive, and how true discipleship often happens in unseen, ordinary spaces. This conversation feels like a deep exhale—a reminder that being unseen by the world can mean being profoundly seen by God.

Laura is a gift to the world, and I pray this conversation reminds you that your hidden seasons are not wasted—they are where intimacy is formed and faith is strengthened.

Some friendships are for a season, some are for specific spaces and some are stitched into your heart for a lifetime. In this episode, I sit down with one of my BEST friends, Anjel Murphy, to talk about best friendship… The kind that grows with you, refines you, and is committed to pointing you to Jesus.

From living together, to living across the street, to living across the country, Anjel and I unpack what it looks like to cultivate covenant friendship through life’s changing seasons. We talk about growing congruently and allowing the Lord to lead our friendship instead of fear or familiarity and how distance has only deepened what God began.

Anjel is joy encapsulated in a human and you’ll adore her heart and all that she carries! Be sure to check out the other episode we’ve recorded together here, and give her a follow on TikTok ;) 

Season 4 is here!!!! And what a gift it is to open the door to another season of Let Me Ask You This! I love kicking things off with familiar voices, so it only feels right to begin with my husband, Zac Hepworth.

In this conversation, Zac and I unpack what it means to live a life of obedience to God—how seeking His heart and His face in prayer is the truest place of surrender and devotion. We talk about the emotions that come with obedience, the wrestle and the wonder, and what to do with all the questions and feelings that surface when God calls us to trust Him more deeply.

This season is already shaping up to be full of conversations that stretch us, steady us, and draw us closer to Jesus. I couldn’t be more excited to lean in, learn, and walk with you into this new chapter. Welcome to Season 4!

This week on the Let Me Ask You This Podcast, I sit down with my new precious friend, ⁠Kara Stout⁠. Kara released her book, An Untroubled Heart, this past April and it's a beautiful book of prayers coupled with pieces of her story that speaks to believer wrestling with anxiety. I loved this conversation for so many reasons but what stands out the most is the beautiful way Kara shares her story and then invites listeners to pray scripture over their lives.

Together we explore the rhythms that keep anxiety from narrating her story, and how she discerns the difference between a life that’s full and one that’s fraying. We talk about the fear of surrender, and how Scripture became her steady place in anxious moments. For the listener who feels shame for being anxious—even while deeply loving Jesus—Kara offers grace, wisdom, and a gentle reminder: peace isn’t the absence of trouble, it’s the presence of a Person.

Be sure to grab her book ⁠An Untroubled Heart here!

In this week's episode, I got to sit down with Emma Cooke, a pastor and counselor at Hillsong Church in Australia, to explore what it means to lead when a lot of our life is filled with hurt. Together we unpack the tension of showing up for others when we are surrounded by pain in our own lives and how holy vulnerability might be one of the most powerful forms of leadership.

Emma shares how motherhood, ministry, and pain have shaped her leadership in unexpected ways. She opens up about rhythms that rescued her, the whispers of Jesus in her lowest moments, and how God gently rebuilds us through honesty, not performance. If you're leading in any capacity with a tired heart—this conversation will bless you!!

In this week’s episode, I’m joined by Hannah Hughes where we unpack the layered journey of mental health, the ache of miscarriage, and what it means to hold pain honestly before God. Hannah shares vulnerably from her own story—raw, redemptive, and still being written.

A gentle note: this episode contains tender themes and may not be best for little ears, so we recommend popping in your headphones for this one.

Hannah is the host of the By Words Podcast, where she equips women for purposeful living!

In today’s episode of Let Me Ask You This, I sit down with the radiant and deeply faithful ⁠Danika Langley⁠. Danika, executive Director of ⁠Riverhouse Global⁠, is no stranger to big dreams and quiet obedience. Her life stretches across nations, her heart carries the weight of vision, and her faith has been tested in the in-between—the places where one dream demands all your strength while another sits silently.

We talk about how to discern the difference between surrender and disobedience, how to hold space for dreams that are slow to bloom, and what it looks like to follow God when the path feels unclear and the wait feels unending. Danika’s honesty will stir something sacred in you. She reminds us that some dreams aren’t delayed—they’re being deeply formed in hidden places.

Danika has a podcast of her own called ⁠Whole People⁠ and it's filled with some really beautiful conversations that will bless you so be sure to check that out! 

In this deeply honest and hope-filled episode, we sit down with my friend, Masey Mclain, a lovely woman whose life has quietly defied the hustle narrative. Together, we talk about the tension of choosing obedience over opportunity, how to stay anchored when the industry wants to shape your story, and what it looks like to root yourself in who God says you are—even when the world is loud and watching.

She shares with us the behind-the-scenes wrestle of being a storyteller—whether that’s through acting, writing, or simply the way you live your life. We talk about what fuels creative courage, how to tend to your heart when vulnerability is required, and what it means to show up faithfully even when doors don’t open fast.

For anyone who’s ever felt like the dream is slow, the call is heavy, or the path is unclear, this conversation will remind you that the long road is still a worthy one.

This episode is one of the most special conversations I’ve ever recorded. Dr. Alicia Britt Chole is not just a guest—she is my beloved mentor!!! Someone I prayed for for literally decades! Her words have shaped my heart, her friendship has steadied my faith, and her life has taught me what it means to walk slowly, deeply, and honestly with Jesus.

If you’ve ever felt behind. If your dreams feel buried in the soil of disappointment. If your soul is craving depth in a world obsessed with speed, this episode is for you!

This week on Let Me Ask You This, we sit down with the radiant and deeply rooted Terrica Smith!! Terrica is the founder and creative mastermind of Eden & Vine, a lifestyle publication and community that champions beauty, intentionality, and rest.

In a world spinning fast on the axis of hustle, Terrica gently calls us to slow the heck down! To see again. To remember that rest isn’t a reward for the weary but the very inheritance offered in the garden where our souls grow strong.

We unpack how Terrica’s personal journey with weariness and wilderness seasons led her to make rest the center of her work and calling, and the difference between soul rest and simply stepping away. Terrica has fought hard to cultivate a beautiful rhythm rest in her life and so this conversation really ministered to me and I know it will minster to you too!

In this episode, I sit down with one of my dearest friends, Taylor Cook—a woman whose life radiates both tenderness and strength. Taylor has spent years in the trenches of the anti-human trafficking world, walking alongside those caught in cycles of exploitation. Her story is not just one of advocacy, but of intimacy with a merciful God who met her in the broken places and called her to carry His light into the darkest corners of this world.

Taylor shares how worship fuels her work and what it means to remain a pillar of hope and mercy in an often overwhelming fight. Whether you're in a season of contending or simply need to be reminded that light still breaks through no matter where you are, I pray this conversation will meet you there.

In this deeply honest and hope-filled episode, I sit down with my precious friend Tracy Onkennake as she shares her powerful journey from the New Age space into a life fully devoted to Jesus. Tracy opens up about the transformation that took place as she left behind spiritual practices that once defined her—and stepped into a vibrant relationship with Christ.

Together, we unpack her story of navigating community, mentorship, and walking through the heartbreak of miscarriage and the ache of delayed dreams. Tracy speaks with raw tenderness and clarity, reminding us that while the road can be painful, we are never alone.

This episode doesn’t shy away from the hard things. But in every moment, we return to the unshakeable truth of the gospel: that we are seen, held, and never forgotten.

Tracy is a beautiful soul who deeply loves Jesus, is a main voice of influence on the podcast Faith and Friction who is confronting the challenging conversations that cause 
friction in the church, and is a recently new Nashville gal! Be sure to follow her journey as she continues walking with Jesus in all that she does!

What happens when the Word of God moves from something we study to something we savor?

Today on the Let Me Ask You This podcast, we’re joined by my scripture-loving, truth-speaking, fiercely faithful friend, Mikella Van Dyke—author of Chasing Sacred and founder of the women’s discipleship ministry by the same name. Mikella is someone who doesn’t just read the Bible, she runsssss toward it. And in a world of half-truths and spiritual apathy, its beautifully refreshing.

In this episode, Mikella breaks open the beauty of engaging with Scripture, walking us through how to anchor our emotions in truth, how to study the Bible when we’re tired or distracted, and why discipleship is not just for the few, but for you.

In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend, Liz Mannchen—someone I inherited through the miracle of adoption. Together, we’ve walked roads paved with joy, heartbreak, and a whole lot of holy surrender.

We talk about what it’s like to say yes to adoption again and again... even after doors close. We talk about the ache of failed placements, the courage it takes to keep hoping, and what surrender really looks like when your heart is set on becoming a mother.

If you’ve ever wrestled with the tension between calling and timing or if you’re holding a dream that feels just out of reach—this one’s for you.

Be sure to check out all the beautiful things Liz and her husband Uli are creating through Live As Lions and follow along as they keep building something sacred out of surrender.

In this heartfelt and honest conversation, I sit down with my friend Eniola Abioye—a missionary with Circuit Riders, a worshipper, a spiritual big sister to so many, and a woman deeply acquainted with the voice of God. Eniola’s life radiates contagious joy and deep obedience, and in this episode, she brings both to the table as we unpack something we all wrestle with at some point: insecurity.

What do we do as disciples of Jesus when insecurity creeps in? When our minds feel clouded with doubt, and our hearts start to shrink back from the call of God on our lives? Eniola offers not only wisdom, but presence—reminding us that the antidote to insecurity is not just confidence, but intimacy with the One who called us in the first place.

This episode is for the one who knows the assignment but feels a little shaky in the doing of it. For the one who loves Jesus but still sometimes wonders, “Am I enough?” And for the one who needs a friend to speak courage back into the bones.

I’m so grateful for Eniola’s voice, her life, and the stories she shares here. You will be, too.

In today’s tender and truth-filled episode, I’m joined by trauma-informed counselor and debut author, Tabitha Panariso, as we gently unpack a topic so many of us carry quietly: rejection.

Tabitha’s new book, Loyal in His Love, is a sacred companion for those navigating the ache of feeling left behind, misunderstood, or unseen—especially in the context of friendship. Together, we explore the unique sting of friendship breakups and why those relational wounds often cut deeper than we expect.

With grace, wisdom, and a lived understanding of heartache, Tabitha invites us to consider: What does God’s loyalty look like when others walk away? How do we heal when friendships don’t end the way we hoped? And what does it mean to remain soft-hearted in a world that often hardens us?

Whether you’ve felt ghosted, grieved a shifting friendship, or are still healing from something unspoken and unresolved—this episode is for you. Tabitha’s words will meet you like a warm blanket, a deep breath, and a reminder: you’re not alone.

I loved this conversation—and I know you will too!

In this deeply personal episode, Ebie shares the exciting news of her first book deal—a sacred unfolding that has been a genuine gift. But more than just an announcement, this conversation with Zac pulls back the curtain on the journey to get here. Ebie reflects on how Zac’s quiet, steady obedience created the space for her own, and how behind every “yes” is often a thousand unseen sacrifices.

As Holy Week unfolds, we look to the life of Jesus—not just His resurrection, but the road He walked there. A life marked by obedience, even when it included suffering. Even when the outcome was unknown. Even when the crowd turned quiet.

We talk about what it means to live a faith that is beautifully countercultural. To be the kind of people who don’t just talk about Jesus, but host Him—who create space in our homes, our dreams, and our plans to say, “You’re welcome here. Have it all.”

On this episode of Let Me Ask You This, we sit down with Deangelo Moss, founder of Freed by Truth—a powerful ministry dedicated to walking alongside believers battling sexual addiction. With honesty and deep compassion, Deangelo shares pieces of his own journey, offering hope to anyone who has ever felt stuck in shame or silence.

He reminds us that this is a conversation that’s far easier to avoid—but far too important to ignore. In a culture where sexual addiction is increasingly common, Deangelo’s voice breaks through the noise with truth, grace, and a roadmap to freedom. As he puts it, his “mess became his message,” and now he’s helping others find the same healing he’s experienced.

Whether you personally struggle or know someone who does, this episode is a lifeline. Freedom is possible—and it doesn’t have to be walked alone.

Please note: Addiction is deeply nuanced and personal. What Deangelo shares is his experience and testimony—it may not reflect every story or every healing path. We acknowledge that the journey toward freedom can look different for everyone. But we hold tightly to this truth: you were crafted to walk in a life of wholeness.

In this episode of Let Me Ask You This, we sit down with one of the world’s seven master penmen, Jake Weidmann, to dive deep into the heart behind his debut book, Old Soul, New Creation. With poetic reverence and wisdom beyond his years, Jake shares what it means to be an artist shaped by the Spirit yet moved by tradition.

From the ancient rhythms of craftsmanship to the spiritual threads woven through his creative process, Jake invites us into a space where art, faith, and legacy meet. We talk about what it means to create from a place of conviction and how honoring the old can give birth to something profoundly new.

Jake and his lovely wife Hannah are not only the co-hosts of the new podcast Made to Last, but also the visionaries behind Everyday Heirloom—a brand devoted to curating pieces that are meaningful, beautiful, and built to last. Together, they are cultivating a life of artistry, intentionality, and eternal perspective.

This family is so special to me and I know after you listen to their hearts you will see why!

In this episode, I sit down with my dear friend Allina Kay—an American missionary whose “yes” to Ukraine has stirred something deep in me for years.

Together, we unpack what it looks like to follow Jesus into a war-torn nation, and the sacred tension of saying yes to one dream while holding space for the ones that haven’t come to pass. We talk about the cost of calling, the ache of surrender, the nuance of dating as a single missionary overseas, and the beauty that can be found even in the middle of broken places.

Allina's life is a testimony to faithfulness in the unseen and courage in the unknown. Whether you’re navigating transition, holding hope for what hasn’t come yet, or wondering if your small yes matters—this conversation is for you.

In this episode of Let Me Ask You This, I sit down with poet and author Tanner Olson (@writtentospeak) to talk about his new children's book, All the Things I Say to God: Learning to pray anytime, anywhere. This book is a beautiful reminder that, as God's children, we are invited to bring everything—our joys, worries, dreams, and doubts—before Him.

While this book is written for children, its message is for all of us. We unpack the heart behind the book, the power of childlike faith, and the way prayer shapes our relationship with God.

Tanner also shares a deeply personal part of his journey—his and his wife's experience with infertility, their path toward adoption, and the ways God revealed Himself in the waiting. If you've ever wrestled with trusting God in seasons of uncertainty, this conversation will encourage you.

Preorder Tanner’s book here!

In this episode of Let Me Ask You This, we sit down with my girl Angela Halili, cohost of the Girls Gone Bible podcast, for a powerful conversation about surrender and living a life fully yielded to the Lord. Angela shares her story—how God radically transformed her heart and called her into deeper intimacy with Him.

Whether you’re wrestling with surrender or longing to grow in intimacy with God, this episode with Angela will stir your heart toward deeper devotion. I pray that this conversation remind you that there is nothing more beautiful than a heart fully given to Jesus.

In this episode of Let Me Ask You This, I sit down with my lovely friend Greta Eskridge to unpack her latest book, It’s Time to Talk to Your Kids About Porn: A Guide to Helping Children and Teens Develop Sexual Integrity. This is the kind of book nobody wants to have to write, but I’m so grateful that Greta did.

We dive into why these conversations are essential for raising kids with integrity in a culture that normalizes pornography. Greta shares her heart behind writing this book, offering parents a roadmap to engage in these discussions from a place of hope rather than fear. We also explore what the role of the church can play in equipping families to navigate these tough but necessary conversations.

Greta has provided a wealth of resources to support parents on this journey—be sure to check them out below!

1. For wives walking through the pain of a spouse’s porn use or addiction, I highly recommend this book and this organization for guidance.
2. For those seeking recovery support, this ministry offers incredible resources for men struggling with addiction and for wives facing betrayal trauma.
3. For women who are dealing with porn use and addiction, this book is a must-read.

These conversations matter. Let’s lean in with truth, grace, and hope! Purchase her new book here!

In this episode of Let Me Ask You This, I sit down with Tori Hope Petersen to unpack the heart of her latest book, Breaking the Patterns That Break You. We dive deep into the power of mentorship, the importance of taking inventory of our lives to break generational cycles, and so much more. 

Healing is a choice—if we don’t deal with our trauma, it will transfer, impacting future generations. This episode is an invitation to honesty, healing, and stepping into the fullness of who God made us to be.

SEASON THREE PREMIER BABY! Can't believe we are here! And with who else than my darling husband, Zac Hepworth?!

In this season three premiere of Let Me Ask You This, we dive deep into the connection between obedience and devotion. True devotion isn’t just about outward expressions of faith—it begins with loving the Lord first, and from that place, stepping out as His church. God has been inviting our family into a deeper intimacy with Him, a kind of devotion that requires a fresh and new level of trust and surrender. But what happens when obedience leads us away from comfort, or even distances us from those we love?

We wrestle with the emotions that come with obedience—fear, uncertainty, and the cost of following where God leads. Yet, at the heart of it all, devotion means giving ourselves fully to the Lord before anything else. From that surrender flows a life connected to Jesus, one that is willing to say yes—no matter what. If you’ve ever struggled with what obedience looks like in your own walk with God, this episode is for you.

Here we are—the finale of Season 2 of Let Me Ask You This! What a journey it’s been. My heart is overflowing with gratitude for the conversations we’ve shared in this space, each one a gift.

To close out this season, I (⁠Ebie Hepworth⁠ ) sat down with my best friend, Anjel Murphy, for a heartfelt conversation. Picture yourself right there with us, curled up on the couch with a London Fog in hand, joining in on the dialogue.

Thank you for being here. Your presence means the world to me. Let’s wrap this season together with warmth, reflection, and hope.

Stay tuned for season 3 in 2025!

This week on the podcast, I’m sitting down with my friend Tracy Campbell, and let me tell you- this episode is flowinggggg with truth! Tracy’s love for Jesus and the way he prioritizes time in the secret place is remarkable. His commitment to discipleship is something we can all learn from. With decades of experience in acting, producing, and screenwriting, Tracy has such a unique perspective on bringing faith into the entertainment industry. His heart for Jesus shines through everything he does, and I walked away from this conversation feeling deeply encouraged in my own walk. I know this episode will bless you as much as it blessed me. I feel thankful to have a friend like Tracy Campbell!

This week's podcast episode is with my BESTTTT friend, Anjel Murphy. Together, we've weathered so many seasons, and recently, she's walked through some deeply challenging disappointments and in this conversation we open up about it all. Anjel’s joy is absolutely contagious, and hearing her share about her journey-including the incredible gift of becoming a mom through adoption-will leave you deeply inspired and a sense of feeling seen. I truly have no words to describe how much I love and admire this friend of mine!

This week’s guest on the Let Me Ask You This Podcast is with my beloved friend, Brittany Ross. Truth be told, we filmed this episode over a year and a half ago and I just KNOW God is releasing this in a timely moment. Brittany is the author of Dangerous Hope and is a woman who wears many hats. In this episode we do unpack pregnancy loss so please let this be your trigger warning in case that is something that may be hard for you to listen to right now. We unravel hope and the journey Brittany took to discover the source of it. I know you’ll walk away from this episode feeling related too and that you’re inheriting a new friend. <3 

In this episode we have the one and only Jamie Finn! I thought about running a few victory laps while filming this episode because JAMIE. IS. A. PREACHER. She speaks Kingdom truth with such conviction and humility and I KNOW as you listen to this you’re going to feel empowered and fueled with courage to step out and be obedience in the hard things! Jamie is the founder and author of her blog and organization, Foster The Family and she just released her first devotional titled Filled which is designed to encourage foster families with God’s word in their journey's. I am so inspired by this woman! 

This week we have the delightful Christian Bevere on the podcast and it was such a gift to spend a few hours together and chatting through life. Christian wrote the book “Breaking Up With what Broke You” addressing how God redeems and rewrites stories. Christian just welcomed her second baby, is a wife, an author, and has the most creative eye to make things breathtakingly beautiful! I know you’ll love this episode as much as I did! 

This week's guest on the pod is one of my dearest and most loyal friend, Sammy Verner. Sammy carries a remarkable gift to see and serve people where they are at in a way I have never seen. She's never the loudest girl in the room but she's always the most compassionate. There is a steadiness and consistency to who Sammy is and how she shares the gospel that will mark you. She's a wife, a mom to a two year old angel boy, she's as competitive as they come, and spends her day to day as a physicians assistant. I know after you hear the authenticity from Sammy's heart you'll walk away encouraged and challenged to walk in confidence of how God has designed YOU.

Season 2 episode 18 on the Let Me Ask You This podcast is with my girl Brenna Blain. Brenna wrote a recently released and AMAZING book called 'Can I Say That?' and when I say I engulfed this book up in one sitting, I really did! I listened to the entire thing on a plane ride home and was in tears. The vulnerability of her story and the way she invites Jesus into the hard questions is such a breath of fresh air! In this episode we unravel the concept of suffering, community, mental health, same sex attraction, and the journey of inviting Jesus to reign in your life. I value this friends voice and walked away from this conversation so refreshed and inspired and I know you will too!

I wanted this episode to be more of a dialogue about real life instead of unraveling Brenna's story and so if you're here and want to hear more about Brenna's story here is a great podcast she recently recorded with Jackie Hill + Tyler Perry that you should listen too. Her story is raw, real, and has the fingerprints of Jesus all over it.

Here is also a link to her book, like I said, I can't recommend it enough!

Season 2 episode 18 with the eloquent and poetic, Hannah Weidmann. When I tell you I was excited about this episode, I mean I was EXCITED. Hannah has one of those voices that you just want to lean in and listen intently too. Hannah is a mother, wife to a world renowned artist, a pioneer, a beautiful writer, and business owner. Together with her husband they started Everyday Heirloom Co, a brand dedicated to adorning women as God’s beloved using timeless methods of craft & storytelling. In this episode we unravel the journey as an artist of using this one life and devoting it to using the gifts deposited inside you. I know you are going to be so encouraged after you listen to Hannah’s life and the fruit that is growing because of her heart to abide. Be sure to check out Hannah's beautiful pieces of art and consider adding something to your holiday wish list as a timeless piece!

Season 2 Episode 17 is with the one and only Abigail Eernisse founder of Abolitionist Collective. Abigail is a freedom fighter and had devoted her life to serving women in the commercial sex industry. She is a Kingdom-come kind of woman that will leave you so inspired to walk in purpose and rest. I have admired this friend of mine for years and every time we get the chance to catch up I just leave shaking my head in amazement at how deep of a well she has carved out with the Lord. In this episode we unpack the importance of a sabbatical, keeping your heart fixed on first love, and what it’s like working in the anti human trafficking industry.
