Humility, Admission, and Self-Awareness in Relationship Restoration | Do The Work (Part 2) | Stephen Feith

What if the most difficult part of restoring a relationship wasn’t mending the broken bond, but rather admitting that you were wrong? This episode is a deep dive into the human psychology behind being wrong and how our denial can often lead to more heartache and destruction than the initial mistake. We examine the compelling story of a cult from the book "Mistakes Were Made (But Not By Me)," whose faith in their leader only strengthened after their doomsday predictions failed. Admitting our mistakes is a difficult yet necessary step in restoring our relationships and maintaining our sanity.

Relationships, like ships, require constant attention and direction. An unattended ship will inevitably head towards an iceberg, much like unprocessed emotions can bring about the downfall of a relationship. Despite the effort required, we argue that working to restore relationships is a worthwhile endeavor. But what happens when a relationship is damaged beyond repair? We've got you covered there too, offering insights on navigating these choppy waters.

As we wrap up, we look towards self-awareness as our guiding star. Drawing from the teachings of Jesus and interpretations of Dallas Willard, we provide a fresh perspective on mending relationships through self-awareness. Moreover, we discuss practical steps to help nurture this skill, emphasizing the importance of approaching this journey with humility and grace. We believe self-awareness, though often overlooked, is a key ingredient in fostering connection and restoration. So, join us as we uncover the power of admitting our wrongs, nurturing our relationships, and embracing self-awareness. No matter how broken our bonds may be, remember, it's never too late for restoration.
