The Light On Demand

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, we’re joined by Sister Monica Claire. She is a nun at the Community of St. John Baptist, an Episcopal religious order based in Mendham, New Jersey. She is the Superior of the convent and will soon be an ordained priest. She is a trained spiritual counselor specializing in religious trauma, mental illness, and addiction.

This month, we are in a series on Theology! What could you be getting wrong about the Bible? - and this week we are discussing: A journey to becoming a nun. 

Heather shares about the word covenant—how it is a binding promise that God has made with humanity. 

Join host Heather Thompson Day and submission specialist Haley Hoskins as they explore the topic of what it takes to become a nun. 

In Day in the Bible, Heather shares about the story of Jonah - how it’s more a story about mercy than punishment and obedience.

Isn’t it so interesting to pay attention to the changing of one season to another? This year talking about the seasons is teaching us about rhythms, transitions, seasonal expectations—and it’s giving us eyes to see what God’s doing through it all. 

And now… it’s time for SUMMER! Starting Monday, June 23rd, we officially kick off the summer on the podcast with our pastor of the pod this year, Pastor Mike Kelsey. I have not stopped thinking about this episode, you guys. As always, he’s bringing some TRUTH to the podcast and helping us ask ourselves some real questions about our expectations for summer as we step into it.

How do I celebrate well?

How do I rest well in the summer?

What does nature teach us about the seasons?And what are the gifts of summer?

The summer pages in our TSF Seasons Guidebook have everything you need to take notes and process questions from each episode. But for summer, we’ve added some fun coaching, a this or that game, a summer playlist, and a recipe for a summer treat. If you already purchased the Guidebook in the winter or spring, you should have received an email already with your summer pages.

If you don't have a copy yet, head over to anniefdowns.com/seasons.

We watched God use the stillness of the winter to open our eyes to revival in the spring. What are we going to see Him do in the summer?

What do you do when it feels like your work, your prayers, your dreams—are going nowhere? In this soul-stirring conversation, Dr. Heather Thompson Day joins Ginny Yurich to talk about what it really means to live a life of passion, faith, and unseen impact. Drawing from her newest book What If I’m Wrong?, Heather shares deeply personal stories about her father’s battle with Alzheimer’s, parenting through pain, and the quiet generational weaving that connects our ordinary days to something much bigger. This episode is a reminder that success is not always measurable—and that the seeds we plant in love and obedience often bloom in ways we’ll never fully see.

If you’ve ever wrestled with doubt, disappointment, or the fear that your life won’t amount to much, this episode will breathe fresh hope into your story. The world may measure impact one way, but heaven tells a different story. Even in your failures—especially in your failures—God might be doing His greatest work.
