So as we've said throughout this series that repairing a broken or disrupted or awkward or damaged relationship, it's not easy.

And oftentimes, not all the time, but oftentimes we actually want to.

I mean, if we could just push a button and the relationship was fixed or the relationship was better, we would. And even if we don't really want to, oftentimes we know we ought to want to. You ever ought to want to? It's like, you know, if you ever pray and say, God, I know what I should ask you for, but I don't, but I don't really think that's what I want to want I want to want to what I, what I want to want to want. So when it comes to relationships, we want them to be fixed, or at least we know we ought to want them to be fixed, but it's just so difficult. And one of the reasons it's so difficult is honestly, we just don't know how to. So want to is one thing, but how to is something else. And it's not intuitive. As we said throughout the series,

we think, you know, it's intuitive, but repairing a broken relationship is not intuitive. And part of the reason it's not is because repairing a broken relationship requires something that does not come natural to any of us. It requires humility. And we are born, we come into the world anti, you know, resisting

humility, putting somebody else first, you know, making ourselves small, going to that smaller

place. So because it kind of resist, you know, our nature resist it, and we don't know how to do it,

oftentimes those relationships, they just kind of dangle out there in this sense of awkwardness. And for some of you, you're strained or broken relationship with somebody you don't know how to do it oftentimes as relationships, they just kind of dangle out there in this sense of awkwardness. And for some of you, you're strained or broken relationship with somebody you don't see very often, so it's not front of mind. In fact, if you've been tracking with us in a series, you're kind of looking forward to it being over so you can put them back over in that box where you've kept them for years until I started talking about it, and suddenly you find yourself

thinking about them, and your mom or your husband or your wife or a friend is like, hey, maybe

you're like, nope, nope, nope, nope, we just resist it.

And the other reason this is so difficult is since it's not intuitive, and a lot of us

have never even seen this modeled well, It's something we have to learn.

It's a learned skill, which means somebody has to learn us, right?

Teach us how to do it.

And hopefully this series has given you some handles or some steps in doing that.

But again, the series, you know, it's just a series.

There's so much more to it.

But ideally, seeing this modeled is so helpful, because,
