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

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.

This month, we’re diving deep into relationships—friendships, romantic connections, and family dynamics—and this week we are asking: What if Compromise isn’t Always the Answer?

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?

In Day in the Bible, Heather reflects on John 15 and why love—not compromise—is central to the Christian faith.

Welcome to the very first episode of 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 asking: What if we’ve been doing relationships wrong all along?

Is it reasonable for married couples to live separately? Are long-distance relationships always doomed? What happens when relationships challenge traditional gender roles? We’re not here to give answers, but we are here to ask some really good questions.

Join host Heather Thompson Day and co-host Haley as they break down what it really means to love someone, react to shocking submission stories—including a dad dating his daughter’s best friend—and explore how Jesus’ communication style was built on asking great questions.

Plus, don’t miss the first-ever Day in the Bible segment, where we challenge how we think about faith, relationships, and the power of asking instead of answering.

Welcome to a brand new show called "What If I’m Wrong?" with Dr. Heather Thompson Day!

What if more important than being right is how we handle being wrong? What is faith is an invitation into mystery? Heather is here to be your guide through real-life questions!

This podcast is your invitation to embrace change, challenge your assumptions, and deepen your spiritual and relational journey. Each episode is a safe space to explore Bible study, hear powerful submission stories, and learn how asking the right questions can lead to profound transformation. Whether you're looking to grow spiritually, rethink your beliefs, or simply find a community that encourages open-minded growth, you'll find a place here.

Join Dr. Heather as your guide through personal growth, deep questions, and meaningful conversations that will leave you thinking—and evolving—long after the episode ends.

Today’s episode is our last episode of Viral Jesus. 

125 episodes, thousands and thousands of downloads, and three years have brought us to this necessary ending. Viral Jesus was created to help us remember the power of our social networks. In this last conversation, Heather wants to talk directly to you, the listener, and remind you that you have influence. 

Create the podcast. Write the blog. Email the book agent. Don’t stop creating. Someone is watching, listening, and learning from what you’ve experienced.

Don’t stop believing that your being faithful with what God has placed in your hand, truly matters. It’s not about whether or not we finish our race first. It’s about running in obedience and faithfulness to the race set before us. That’s what we hope you take away from Viral Jesus.

In this life, with your gifting, leave it all on the track.

Have you ever wondered why you behave the way you do? Dr. Gary Lawrence says he thinks it has to do with the patterns of rejection we navigated in childhood. We all experience rejection, but we all survive that rejection differently. Dr. Gary believes that he has found some helpful tools that can help us break free of toxic patterns we may be repeating.

In today's episode Heather and Gary discuss how we can identify, isolate, and eliminate the root cause of most of our problems with rejection.

Heather also talks to creators about how to navigate the reality of not being cited for your work.
