INTRODUCTION
Pastor Jensen said to new hire Richard, “I want you to obtain an accountability partner in the next two weeks and begin meeting with them on a regular basis.”
“Ok,” said Richard, “what would be important for me to know when I meet with them?”
“They are to hold you accountable by asking you questions concerning areas of your life you suggest to them when you meet,” said Pastor Jensen.
This is how my first discussion about an accountability partner began. I was unsure at that time how this relationship would help me, but found out, over the many years it went on, that it was one of the best things I ever did and wished someone had challenged me to it sooner.
Birthed out of my own experience, which is talked about further in Lesson 1, I believe an accountability friendship can be a great blessing to you. Not only did I get to know my friend better, but their presence helped me to consider in a deeper way what I wanted in life.
I knew that every time I met with him, at some point in our conversation, he was going to pull from his wallet a folded piece of paper that contained my handwritten questions I requested him to ask me every time we met. My promise to him was that I would tell the truth as I answered these questions.
PURPOSE:
This lesson series is to help you understand what accountability is and its importance in your life, and challenge you to initiate an accountability friendship. I will explain the process in detail and give you a one-page summary to give to your accountability partner so that they can better understand their responsibility in meeting with you.
Note: All verses used are from the 2011 New International Version (NIV) of the Bible unless otherwise indicated.
