    What If I’m Wrong?

    Welcome to “What If I’m Wrong?” with Dr. Heather Thompson Day. Life isn’t about getting everything right; it’s about how we navigate when things go wrong. In a world that’s constantly evolving, holding onto rigid ideas can limit our growth.

    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.

    Karen González: Seeing Our Immigrant Neighbor Apr 13, 2023
    Show notes

    In today’s episode Heather sits down with Karen González for part two of our four-part pod-class titled “Who Is My Neighbor?” If you’re joining us fresh, make sure to catch last week’s episode where we opened the series with Native American Bible translator Terry Wildman.

    This week, Karen challenges us to question our positionality as we engage with the stories we love in Scripture. “We will discover that we’re not Joseph; we’re Egypt.”

    Heather also chats with our favorite social media expert, Brady Shearer, for this week’s Social Toolkit. Brady explains why he believes social media is not just a tool for ministry; it is ministry.

    Retelling the Creator’s Story Apr 06, 2023
    Show notes

    Today’s episode is part one of “Who Is My Neighbor?,” our latest pod-class series on faithful discipleship and what it means to truly love our neighbor. And, in case you missed it, be sure to listen to last week’s episode, where Heather revisits the parable of the Good Samaritan and explains why she chose “Who Is My Neighbor?” as this month’s pod-class theme.

    This week, Heather is joined by minister and Bible translator Terry M. Wildman to discuss Terry’s work on First Nations Version: An Indigenous Translation of the New Testament, as well as the inherent challenges of communicating Christianity’s good news to a community of people who have been historically marginalized and abused by white Christian leaders.

    The First Nations Version is a retelling of the Creator’s story—the Scriptures—following in the tradition of the storytellers of these oral cultures. Many First Nations tribes communicate with the cultural and linguistic thought patterns found in their original tongues. This way of speaking, with its striking beauty and rich cultural idioms, still resonates in the hearts of First Nations people. In his ministry, Terry demonstrates the power of understanding our neighbors’ cultural contexts so that we can connect with them in more caring and authentic ways.

    But first, for this week’s Social Toolkit, Heather chats with author and Bible teacher Alexandra V. Hoover about how to be faithful and effective stewards of our social platforms. Her latest book is the bestselling Eyes Up: How to Trust God’s Heart by Tracing His Hand.

    Guest Bio

    Terry M. Wildman (Ojibwe and Taqui) is the lead translator, general editor, and project manager of the First Nations Version. He serves as the director of spiritual growth and leadership development for Native InterVarsity. He is also the founder of Rain Ministries, and has previously served as a pastor and worship leader. He and his wife Darlene, live in Arizona.

    Who Is My Neighbor? Mar 30, 2023
    Show notes

    In today’s episode Heather explains why she chose “Who Is My Neighbor?” as the subject for our next four-part, pod-class series, which starts next week. To help set the tone, Heather walks us through the parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37). Using Kenneth E. Bailey’s book Jesus Through Middle Eastern Eyes as a framework, Heather challenges us to experience the explosive message of the parable in a way similar to how its first-century audience heard it.

    Also, for this week’s Social Toolkit, Heather sits down with theologian Esau McCaulley to discuss the sensitive topic of gun reform in the wake of the Covenant School shooting in Nashville. How can Christians helpfully engage the topic? Esau contributed to the public conversation with his latest New York Times article: “How Can We Be a Country That Does This to Our Children?”

    What We May Be Getting Wrong About the Image of God Feb 09, 2023
    Show notes

    In today’s episode Heather puts on her professor’s hat to walk us through the social psychology behind why human beings are wired to exist in relationship with one another. Heather says this is where evolutionary biology and Christianity can agree, that human beings are social beings whose mental and spiritual wholeness depends on our connection to other people and our connection to God. We were created to exist in relationship.

    This episode wraps up our thought-provoking “What You May Be Getting Wrong About God” pod-class series. If you’re coming in fresh, you can go back and listen to the first four installments here, here, here, and here.

    We also visit with our favorite social media whiz Brady Shearer for this week’s #Blessed. He gives us a breakdown of how you can get someone to stop scrolling and engage with your content. Brady calls it the 3 C’s: common, care, and cliffhanger. Listen in to learn how to create stickier social media posts.
