Ep. 157 - Doing Hard Things Part 5: The Hard Thing of Repair

Most men want to be respected. But many of us were never taught how to repair relationships after we’ve caused pain. So we defend ourselves.  Explain ourselves.  Withdraw and minimize. Meanwhile the people we love most are often left carrying wounds we never intended to create. In this episode of I Know a Guy, Steve talks about humility, apologies, rebuilding trust, and the courage it takes to own the impact of our emotional absence, shutdown, anger, or performance-driven living. He also shares personal reflections connected to his new book, The Father Eclipse, including the painful realization that many men can provide physically while unintentionally going to the sidelines emotionally with their wives and children. Repair is hard. But humility may become the doorway to healing.
