How to publicly apologise | Bruce Burgess on the apologies of Will Smith and Brian Houston

Noticed the influx of memes after the Oscars? You then, no doubt, are probably aware of the fiasco that took place that night.

Actor Will Smith has apologised for his actions at the Oscars and former Hillsong Global Pastor Brian Houston has apologised to his church.

It makes one think then - what makes a good apology, and how can we apologise well?

Bruce Burgess from Peacewise speaks to us today on the seven things that make up a good apology.

In this week’s The Pastor’s Heart we analyse the apologies of Australian Cricket Captain Steve Smith, plus the apologies of Will Smith and Brian Houston in order to consider what is the best practices for our own apologies.
