What If I'm Wrong?

“I thought I’d see you by now,” I cried out to God.

I was watching my son come out of the water at the beach. He was laughing until he wasn’t. He couldn’t see me. I watched him scan the sand for my chair. 

“Mom!” He shouted while starting to panic. He thought that he was lost. But he wasn’t lost at all. 

 He had stopped watching me, but I never stopped watching him.

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.

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 talking about: When Your Purpose Shifts: Navigating Change Over Time.

What happens when everything you thought you were working toward no longer fits who you are? When the thing that once gave your life direction begins to feel distant, unfamiliar, or even empty? Purpose isn’t always a fixed destination—it can be a season, a phase, or a stepping stone.

Join host Heather Thompson Day and submission specialist Haley as they discuss navigating change.

In Day in the Bible, Heather reflects on Matthew 5:16 which reads, "Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven." Heather challenges us to give glory to God by loving our neighbors, caring, serving and living out our faith on 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.

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.

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.
