Show Notes
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.
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.

This week on Let Me Ask You This, I'm joined by Mac Bridges and Kenz Durham, the beautiful hearts behind Delight Ministries and authors of their newly released book, This Wasn't the Plan: How to Surrender Your Stuck and Set Your Soul in Motion. Together, we're unpacking the tender, messy, and often surprisingly beautiful work of navigating life's unexpected twists and turns. We talk about surrendering the timelines we've written for ourselves, learning to trust God's character when we cannot trace His hand, and discovering that feeling stuck doesn't necessarily mean God has stopped moving.
This week on Let Me Ask You This, I'm joined by the lovely Kayla Craig, bestselling author, spiritual director, and the heart behind Liturgies for Parents, for a beautiful conversation about her newest book, Our Daily Breath: 365 Prayers and Practices That Whisper Peace in a Shouting World.
For the third and final episode of our Midnight Hallelujah mini-series, we're turning the tables! Throughout this series, we've been inviting you behind the pages of Midnight Hallelujah, pulling back the curtain on the stories, prayers, and wrestlings that gave birth to this book. And for this final conversation, I couldn't imagine a more fitting person to take the host's seat than one of my dearest friends, Anjel Murphy. Anjel is no stranger to the podcast, but this time she's the one asking the questions! She's also someone who has walked closely beside me through so much of the life that fills these pages. She's seen the tears, the wrestling, the waiting, and the quiet ways God has met us in the middle of it all. In this tender and honest conversation, Anjel interviews me about the parts of Midnight Hallelujah that were the hardest to write, what it meant to put some of our most vulnerable stories into the world, and what I hope readers will carry with them long after they turn the final page. We talk about the beauty and cost of telling the truth, the courage it takes to hope when life has left you bruised, and why I believe this book is ultimately less about finding our way out of the dark and more about discovering the presence of Jesus within it. It feels especially meaningful to close this series with someone who hasn't just heard these stories but has helped me live through some of them. And the sweetest part? Midnight Hallelujah is officially out in the world! My prayer is that these pages find their way into the hands of those who are weary from waiting, aching from loss, or wondering whether hope is still worth the risk.

Welcome to part two of this special three-part Midnight Hallelujah series here on Let Me Ask You This!
Welcome to a special three-part Midnight Hallelujah series here on Let Me Ask You This. In celebration of the release of my very first book, Midnight Hallelujah: Why Hope Is Still Worth the Risk, I wanted to set aside a few conversations to take you a little deeper into the heart behind these pages, the stories beneath the stories, the things I discovered while writing them, and the hope I pray you carry with you long after you close the book. And there was no one I wanted to have one of these conversations with more than my husband, Zac Hepworth. Zac has had a front-row seat to nearly every story inside Midnight Hallelujah. He has lived beside me through the prayers, the disappointments, the wrestling, the waiting, and the hallelujahs that can still rise up even when the night is long. In this episode, Zac and I sit down together to unpack what I found in the process of writing this book. We talk about what it was like to revisit some of the hardest seasons of our lives through the writing process, what Zac noticed happening in me as I put words around grief and hope, the ideas that became clearer as the book took shape, and what I hope readers ultimately walk away believing about God, suffering, prayer, and the risk of hoping again. Midnight Hallelujah releases September 29, 2026. If you are listening before release day, I would be so grateful if you would take a moment to preorder your copy. And as a thank-you, every preorder comes with access to free gifts I spent a long time creating specifically for you to help you go even deeper into the message of the book. And if you are listening after September 29, Midnight Hallelujah is officially out in the world and available wherever books are sold. I cannot quite believe I finally get to say that!!!!! Thank you for listening, for sharing these conversations with me, and for making room for this little book in your life.
