1KHO 935: The Altar of Almost | Ebie Hepworth, Midnight Hallelujah

Hope can feel almost dangerous when you’ve been disappointed enough times. Ebie Hepworth, author of Midnight Hallelujah: Why Hope Is Still Worth the Risk, joins Ginny Yurich for an honest conversation about grief and unanswered prayers. Ebie talks about her journey with infertility and adoption, and how she is currently walking alongside her son through Duchenne muscular dystrophy. She discusses what it looks like to keep choosing hope when the story still hasn’t changed. Ebie shares why grief has to be tended instead of buried, how waiting is different from awaiting, why community matters when life hurts, and how her family has learned to become “joy hunters” in the middle of an uncertain future. This is an encouraging conversation for anyone who has ever wondered whether hoping again is worth the risk. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
