On Accountability

This past Sunday I talked about the importance of accountability- especially for men.  Here is a follow up, with more information, in the form of a question…

1.  Where is the best place to find an accountability partner?

Answer: in your church, in your small group (you are in a group, right? ); a Christian brother at work; just make it someone you know!

Beginning this type of relationship with a stranger is too awkward- and you won’t stick with it.

2.  Where do we begin?

Answer: Before you even approach someone, pray about it first.  Ask God to reveal this person to you… and then ask him if he would be willing to begin meeting with you.

It will be a little awkward at first, especially if you have never been personally accountable to someone, but push through that.  It will be worth it.  

3.  What do we talk about?

Answer: talk about your goals… talk about the areas in which you struggle… plot out the questions you want him to ask of you each time you meet…

4.  What was the accountability software you talked about during the sermon?

Answer: It, and so much more, can be found by visiting…www.xxxchurch.com. 

Yes, the title is meant to be provocative- but this ministry is making a difference in the lives of men all around the country.
