    What If You're Wrong About Your Purpose?

    Welcome back to What If I’m Wrong? A show where we might not give you the answers, but we will ask some really good questions.  This month, we’re exploring the topic of passion—what are you so passionate about that you are willing to suffer for? And this week we are asking: What if you’re wrong about your purpose? What if everything you’ve believed about your purpose turns out to be a misconception? How do you cope when your sense of purpose shifts or crumbles, and what can it teach you about yourself moving forward? Join host Heather Thompson Day and submission specialist Haley as they dive into a thought-provoking discussion about purpose. In Day in the Bible, Heather explores that Luke, a physician, wrote 27% of the New Testament, focusing on Jesus' healing ministry. She challenges us to reconsider our purpose, noting that God often calls unlikely people to do His work. Whether you're a nurse, teacher, or in another field, Heather asks, "What if you're wrong about your purpose?" urging us to be open to God's call, even if we don't feel equipped.

    What If Jealousy Isn't as Bad as we Think?

    Welcome back to What If I’m Wrong? A show where we might not give you the answers, but we will ask some really good questions.  This month, we’re diving deep into relationships—friendships, romantic connections, and family dynamics—and this week we are asking: What if jealousy isn’t as bad as we think? Jealousy often gets a bad reputation, but is it always a toxic emotion, or could it be a natural, even helpful, response in relationships? Join host Heather Thompson Day and submission specialist Haley as they discuss how jealousy shows up in romantic and professional settings, breaking down the psychology behind it. In Day in the Bible, Heather explores the scripture Numbers 12:1, where Miriam and Aaron's jealousy over Moses' marriage to a Cushite woman reveals their underlying insecurity and feelings of betrayal, not racial prejudice. This passage highlights the importance of understanding cultural context Have a story to share? Email us at whatifimwrongpod@gmail.com.

    What If 'The One' Doesn't Exist?

    Welcome back to What If I’m Wrong? A show where we might not give you the answers, but we will ask some really good questions. On today’s episode Scarlett Longstreet joins us again for submission discussions. Her non Christian background and realism makes this a well rounded analysis you won’t want to miss. Scarlett Longstreet is a writer and content creator based in Detroit. She shares perspectives on divorce, copareting, relationships, and millennial womanhood.  This month, we’re diving deep into relationships—friendships, romantic connections, and family dynamics—and this week we are asking: What if ‘The One’ Doesn’t Exist? In relationships, the concept of soulmates is often seen as undeniable—but what if it’s not as simple as we think?  Join host Heather Thompson Day and submission specialist Haley as they explore whether ‘the one’ truly exists. They question whether God has divinely appointed one perfect partner for each person or if love is shaped by free will, personal growth, and the choices we make along the way. In Day in the Bible, Heather discusses the symbolism of barrenness in the first century and how understanding these implications change how we read God’s call to Abraham in Genesis 12.

In relationships, compromise is often seen as essential, but what if it's actually a misguided approach?  Join host Heather Thompson Day and co-host Haley as they dive into the idea that compromise isn’t always the best approach in relationships. Is it possible that holding firm on your values and needs can be healthier than meeting someone halfway?
