Podcast Introduction: Welcome back to the Meant For More Podcast! In this powerful, hope-filled episode, host Charity Majors reconnects with longtime friend and guest, Ebie Hepworth. Together, they dive deep into the journey of turning suffering into strength and rediscovering God’s faithfulness in the hardest seasons. Ebie shares from the trenches—infertility, raising a child with a terminal diagnosis, gut-wrenching moments in anti-human trafficking work—and how abiding with God isn’t just for the mountain-top experiences but is most vital “in the valley.” If you’ve ever felt broken, unseen, or overwhelmed by your own kitchen floor moments, this conversation will remind you that you are truly meant for more.

Guest Bio: Ebie Hepworth is a writer, worship leader, and tender-hearted encourager passionate about breathing hope into suffering hearts. From battling infertility and raising a child with a terminal disease to frontlines work against human trafficking, Ebie’s journey is marked by raw honesty and a deep commitment to abiding in God through every storm. Her words and writing have brought comfort to many walking through seasons of brokenness, and her upcoming book project promises even more depth and encouragement.

• 1:21 – Ebie’s “Meant for More” moments and the reality of hope in suffering

• 6:09 – When God reveals Himself in the hardest seasons

• 13:03 – Debunking “emotion equals devotion” and learning spiritual maturity

• 27:31 – Ebie working on a new writing project

• 31:23 – Words for those who feel unseen and walking the sacred journey of obscurity

Key Takeaways:

• Suffering births steadfast faith: The deepest faith often comes out of the most challenging, painful valleys—not from mountaintop “aha moments.”

• God’s presence in brokenness: Whether you feel seen or unseen, God is revealing Himself as “El Roi,” the God who sees you—even when no one else does.

• Emotion vs. devotion: Emotion does not determine your devotion. Spiritual maturity means learning to move through emotions with God, not being ruled by them.

• Processing with God is a duet: Whatever you walk through, abiding is a partnership—“faith is a duet, not a solo.”

• Embracing the unseen seasons: Obscurity is sacred, and being unseen by the world can lead to a deeper connection with God and your truest calling.

• Using your gifts: Whether your prophetic gift is feeling, sensing, or seeing, it takes maturity and practice to steward it well.

Key Learnings:

In this episode of the Meant For More Podcast, Charity Majors dives into the foundations of developing godly friendships, using the acronym BOND:

• B – Brotherly/Sisterly Love (Phileo Love): True friendship is built on deep, family-like affection and loyalty—not convenience. God calls us to committed, selfless, and enduring love, sticking by friends, especially during tough times.

• O – Openness: Authenticity and vulnerability are essential. Real connection goes beyond surface-level sharing; it requires both parties to be open about struggles and victories in safe, trusting environments, while also honoring healthy boundaries on who gets access to your inner life.

• N – Nurturing Growth: Godly friends encourage each other’s growth in faith, character, and purpose. They challenge and inspire one another, celebrate successes, and hold each other accountable—even when it means having tough, honest conversations.

• D – Dependability: True friends are reliable, keep their commitments, and show up consistently. Dependability builds trust and acts as the glue for lifelong friendships, creating a safe space where people feel valued.

Charity emphasizes that building these unbreakable bonds requires prioritizing community and connection over personal comfort, and being willing to develop deeper, transformational relationships rooted in Jesus.
