In this episode, I'm joined by Heather Thompson Day, whose insights challenge our perceptions of success, passion, and the presence of God in our lives. Heather boldly explores the idea that our true story isn't found in the circumstances we face, but rather in how we respond to them.

Together, we uncover how deeply God's faithfulness and presence are intertwined in our stories—especially when life doesn't go according to our plans. Heather's wisdom and authenticity offer a refreshing invitation to live with courage and purpose, even when we're navigating doubts and difficulties.

Are you tired of living life scared or following the status quo? Maybe it’s time we remembered what it felt like to believe in ourselves before the world told us who we should be and what we should do. In today’s conversation, we will explore the chasm between the dreams we once had and the reality in which we are now living. Speaking from personal experience, renowned speaker, best-selling author, and today’s guest, Dr. Heather Thompson Day dives deep into her newest book titled, What If I’m Wrong?, to help us better understand what makes us feel overwhelmed or defeated by the hopes we once had, the disappointments we should have overcome, the goals we expected to accomplish, and the person we wanted to be. Somehow and somewhere along the way, we stopped following our heart and started listening to the lies in our head: It’s time you gave up on that childish dream. What makes you think you could accomplish that? Others see who you really are, so stop trying to be someone else. So we decided to play it safe and just accept our lot in life. And instead of feeling alive every day, we walk through our days numb and uninspired. But today’s conversation will help you understand that pursuing a painless passion means you have an insignificant dream, living a “normal” life is scarier than taking risks and embracing the unknown, being vulnerable and admitting mistakes can lead to success quicker, embracing failure might be the best thing that ever happens to you, staying motivated and confident when things go wrong gets easier with practice, and the person God made you to be is waiting to live life to the fullest! As Dr. Heather says, “Have you ever considered that the hardest things in life might be our greatest areas of passion, through which we find fulfillment in everything we do, from work to play to relationships to our faith? Fears and failures come upon us like relentless waves, pulling us to deeper water. Panicked, we believe we are going to drown. But what if we’re wrong? Maybe God is teaching us how to swim stronger, to pursue greater adventures, and to learn how to really live!” Find Out More About Dr. Heather: https://www.heatherthompsonday.com/ Purchase Your Copy of What If I’m Wrong?: https://www.amazon.com/What-If-Im-Wrong-Navigating/dp/1400341574 Link to Cross Communication: https://www.crosscommunication.com/ Check out Dr. Heather’s ‘What If I’m Wrong Podcast’: https://www.heatherthompsonday.com/podcast Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

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."

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.

Trust me when I say that I GET IT. I get that when years go by, and waiting gets tiring, giving up on having hope feels like the easiest and most reasonable thing to do. But rather than placing our hope in the result, what if we saw how God could minister to us right here, right now, today? My new friend Heather Thompson Day joins me to discuss this on the pod!

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.

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. Have a story to share?
