When most people hear the word “accountability,” they immediately become uncomfortable. The thought of making oneself totally open, honest, and vulnerable with another person doesn’t sound appealing to most of us. It’s easy for people to stay in their comfort zone and avoid confronting difficult issues and weaknesses in their lives. Many Christians miss out on the significant spiritual growth and development that can result from accountability. So what exactly is accountability? An accountability relationship should be one in which two or more believers prompt each other to grow closer to the Lord through questioning, challenging, admonishing, confessing, and encouraging. The purpose of this relationship should be to help each other grow spiritually.
