Hi, I'm Susie Larson. Thanks for listening to this podcast from Susie Larson Live.

Welcome to Sisi Larson Live. Welcome to Sizzy Larson Live. new dance you don't have to know how to ever since ever since we've got you love welcome to

cissy larsson live always honored to get to spend this time with you in fact i look forward to

bringing you conversations every single day and hopefully inspire you in your faith walk that deep

in your understanding of god's word and that heightens your awareness of his very real

presence in your life. Well, here's a loaded question. Have you ever been hurt by someone,

but when it came time to apologize, their apology didn't exactly hit the mark? Maybe you left

the conversation just feeling freshly offended all over again. Why didn't their apology work?

Well, my guest today says that just as we give and receive love in different ways, each of us also gives and receives apologies differently.

Bestselling author and consultant, Dr. Gary Chapman joins me today. It's been years, maybe a couple

years since we've talked. I'm super excited to talk with him about the book, The Five Apology Languages, The Secret to Healthy Relationships. We talked to him about when the first version came out, I think it was a few years ago. And it's such a powerful topic. I was hoping to revisit it again, so you can imagine my joy when I saw that they re-released an updated, version. We got four copies to give away today.

The five apology languages, the secret to healthy relationships.

We're going to look at each one of these, and I think it'll help you better understand yourself,

your loved ones.

And I was praying before the show that would not only apply this wisdom to our personal

relationships, but we would step back and consider maybe we can apply this wisdom

to help our world and our communities heal because we sure need it. So for an apology to feel

sincere, it needs to be offered in a language that fits who you are and vice versa. So we're going

to get Dr. Chapman on in a moment. A quick announcement. You've been hearing about the Setaparte Conference. Well, we are just about there. Countdown has begun.
