How to Say You’re Sorry (The 3 S’s)
We’ve all seen kids apologize with sad eyes and the right words…but then go right back to the same behavior. The truth is, grown men aren’t much different. The real question isn’t whether we feel sorry—it’s whether our actions show true repentance.
Episode Summary
In this episode, Nate explores the difference between feeling regret and actually repenting in a way that transforms your marriage, your parenting, and your walk with Jesus.
Using the story of King Asa from 2 Chronicles 14–15, we look at how real repentance moves beyond words and produces visible change. You’ll walk away with a simple, memorable framework—the 3 S’s—that will help you turn conviction into action.
