Episode 269: What Does Hope Look Like in Suffering? | Ebie Hepworth

Hole In My Heart Podcast

Friday, October 9, 2026 - 47 minutes

My friend, author, teacher, and podcaster, Ebie Hepworth, gets suffering.

 

Her son has a terminal illness. Her life includes infertility and struggle in many areas.

 

And yet, it’s easy to call Ebie a woman of hope.

 

What in the world is hope—in real life? Is it this dissociative state of bliss or something else….?

 

Ebie believes it is “something else” and she unpacks it for us today on the podcast.

Encouraging Words From Your Bible

Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
