Fearless Talk

This episode features the first of many Fearless Co. men, Zac Hepworth. After unpacking Ebie’s perspective of marriage in Episode 16, Zac shared his perspective. You’ll notice very quickly that Zac’s perspective- while different from Ebie’s- required much of the same surrendering to Jesus with a common goal of unity and victory. This episode is full of a rich perspective that proclaims God’s purpose and plans for marriage over the very real temptations of selfishness. Through recognizing one’s humanity and God’s perfect plan for covenant, Zac shares marriage from his perspective.

Marriage is different for everyone so please don’t feel pressured to compare your story and your relationship to someone else’s. Let God write your story and trust him as He leads you in and towards peace with your relationship. Many times, we have extravagant expectations for our marriage and unless we surrender those expectations to God, we can come up against disappointment, confusion, and manipulation. If you have ever identified as a master manipulator- especially in the context of intimate relationship- it is crucial to fully reset your heart and mind with Jesus. When you begin to be in an intimate relationship with Jesus, He begins to heal you in the ways that only He can. You’re brought from false hope to fullness and the desire that you once had to control becomes a desire to surrender and listen for His voice of truth. Bring your discouragement, frustrations, and questions to God and watch as he brings breakthrough.

Ebie Hepworth had always dreamt of having a big family. From the time she was little, she would imagine her life with children from all around the world. When she got married in 2014, Ebie and her husband, Zac, had created an exciting 5-year plan full international travel and missions. But much to their surprise, Ebie got pregnant just six months into their marriage. The joy of their first pregnancy was overwhelming but quickly took a turn when Ebie began bleeding. Doctors and specialist told her she would be fine, but when Ebie began losing more and more blood, it was clear that something was wrong. After numerous tests, she learned the heartbreaking reality that she was experiencing an ectopic pregnancy. Tragically, Ebie lost her first child at nine weeks.

While the idea of international adoption seems daunting to some, it was a journey filled with peace for Zac and Ebie.

This episode features Anjel’s and Ebie’s experiences in the first three months of launching Fearless Co. From the beginning, the vision of Fearless Co. was big- bigger than us and bigger than anything we thought we could do. But we believed that as long as we were showing up to the occasion, God would give us the grace and strength to operate Fearless Co.. and while we did our best to invite the Holy Spirit into every part of the process, we found ourselves ignoring the very clear signs of burnout. To us, burnout looked like exhaustion, doubt, chaos, resentment, and a lack of creativity. We found ourselves striving more and more, and while we were experiencing supernatural favor and opportunities, other significant priorities in our lives began suffering because of our lack of boundary setting and planning. Don’t get us wrong, it was great and we never once wanted to stop, but it was hard to find balance. It wasn’t until a trip to The Holy Land that we realized we had been ignoring God’s call to rest and reset for far too long. It was during this time that God revealed three necessary changes that we needed to implement if we wanted to be successful in our lives and his purpose for our lives. We needed to know our priorities and boundaries and we needed to pause and reset anytime God told us to. We realized that while these things were elementary, they would be the very things that success (in life, relationship, and ministry) would hinge on. We are learning so very much in this process and we can’t wait to see what God will do with Fearless Co.. Knowing that he’s been so good without striving makes us so excited to see what He will do with our best. We are so thankful for the tenderness of Jesus- for how he revealed himself and his desires for our lives to us in the season, and for what he’ll continue to teach us every step of the way. Here’s to all that’s to come!
