What If Compromise Isn't Always the Answer?

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 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, coparenting, 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. Have a story to share? Email us at [e-mail].
