When you’ve blown it, how do you move forward? In this episode, we’ll see how humility, honesty, and a plan for change can turn a mistake into a stepping stone.

God honors humility when we own our mistakes and take steps to make things right.

What do you do when you’re the one who’s wrong?

We’ve all been there—wishing we could rewind, delete the email, take back the words. Our pride says, “Hide it” or “Excuse it.” But God’s Word gives us a different approach.

Scripture:

James 4:10 – “Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will lift you up in honor.” (NLT)

In 2012, Apple Maps launched to much fanfare—and immediate backlash over wrong directions and strange visuals. The surprising part? Apple’s CEO, Tim Cook, issued a public apology and pointed users to competitor apps until Apple could fix the problem. His humility turned a PR disaster into a trust-building moment.

Humility isn’t weakness—it’s truth in action. Admitting fault opens the door for God to honor you and for relationships to heal.

Key Points from Today’s Episode:

• Humility is not self-punishment; it’s aligning with God’s truth.
• Owning mistakes clears the way for reconciliation and growth.
• God promises to lift up those who humble themselves before Him.

Ask the Lord if there’s an area where you need to admit you were wrong. Take one step toward making it right.

Humility might feel like going low, but God promises to lift you up in His time.
