How to Apologize the Right Way
Jan 18, 2026 • Pastor Mike Berry
Most people think apologizing is as simple as saying “I’m sorry.” But if the same conflicts keep resurfacing, something deeper is missing. A weak or defensive apology can actually widen the gap instead of healing it.
This message breaks down why conflict is unavoidable, why pride and fear keep us stuck, and how to take responsibility in a way that restores trust. You’ll learn practical steps for offering a sincere apology, listening well, and repairing relationships without blame, excuses, or defensiveness.
Healthy apologies don’t just fix moments—they change patterns.
Growth is possible. Healing is possible.
And it’s never too late to become someone who brings peace instead of repeating the past.
