Why is it so incredibly hard to say “I’m sorry”? We often default to shifting the blame or offering terrible non-apologies because admitting our faults feels too risky. In this message from Deuteronomy 30, we examine why facing our reality is the only way to genuinely heal broken relationships. Discover how the biblical concept of “turning around” completely changes the way we apologize, and how Jesus’ preemptive forgiveness gives us the ultimate freedom to own our mistakes without fear.
