The Light On Demand

Momville is back! We are taking this month to celebrate moms and first up is Amy Brown. You likely know her as the long-time co-host of the Bobby Bones Show, but her story is deep, inspiring, and somewhat hilarious. After relaying the incredible story of starting her career in radio (shoutout Culvers!), Amy talks about her experience as the mom of two adopted Haitian children, how much of her personal life she should share, and so much more.

What if we’ve misunderstood the Gospel all along? In this episode, I pull back the curtain on the parts of the Gospel we often overlook or avoid. This isn’t just about what Jesus did—but why it matters in the everyday life of a believer. Join me as I unpack the deeper, often hidden truths of the Gospel that could completely change how you live, love, and follow Jesus.

Y’all get ready because my friend Lisa Harper is here! She’s one of my favorite teachers and today we’re talking about being lifelong learners, the kindness of God, and what we love about Jesus.

Her brand new book, A Jesus Shaped Life, comes out tomorrow and I kept wanting to slow down and re-read and underline because it’s just so deep and special.  

We’re also going to dive into our question in our TSF Seasons Guidebook today: How do I rest in this season? If you’re following along we’re on page 51.

You’re invited to read through the Gospels with us during the month of May.

NYTimes bestselling Christian author, speaker, and host of popular Christian podcast, That Sounds Fun Podcast, Annie F. Downs shares with you some of

This might be the most important episode we’ve ever released. Dr. Richard Freed, psychologist and author of Better Than Real Life, pulls back the curtain on persuasive design—the hidden psychological science used by tech companies to keep kids glued to their screens. These technologies aren't just entertaining—they’re engineered by neuroscientists to exploit children's deepest instincts and hijack their brains. Most parents have never heard of this, yet it’s quietly reshaping childhood as we know it.

We talk about the ethics of manipulating kids, why screen time guidelines have mysteriously disappeared, and how AI is supercharging the problem. From children who won’t get off devices to teens forming relationships with AI bots, Dr. Freed explains how we got here—and what we must do to reclaim real life for our kids. If you’ve felt like you're losing your child to a screen, this episode will help you understand why.

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 Vimbo Watson for a lively group chat where she opens up about her past journey as a single woman. Vimbo shares valuable insights and empowering tips, emphasizing that life doesn’t begin at marriage—you’re already living it. Later in the show, Heather’s husband, Seth Day, joins us to tackle submission questions. Seth Day is an assistant professor of Learning Frameworks at Odessa College, and author of I’ll See You Tomorrow.

This month, we are starting a new series on Mental Health. What could you be getting wrong about these struggles you are battling? - and this week we are discussing: What Could I be Getting Wrong about My Depression?

Heather shares insights from her research, explaining that depression isn’t just a brief spell of sadness or something you can simply "snap out of"—it’s a prolonged period marked by deep hopelessness.

Join host Heather Thompson Day and submission specialist Haley as they explore the topic of depression.

In Day in the Bible, Heather points out multiple characters we see in Scripture who also battle depression. She reaffirms listeners that their lives have value and that help is available for those who are struggling.
