Are You Doing Accountability The Wrong Way?

Hey L,

When you here the word accountability, what words or thoughts run through your head?

Policeman?
Invasive?
Unpleasant?
Confession?

Accountability is something that we at XXXchurch value greatly. But it needs to be approached and applied correctly for it to be effective.

Our friend Sathiya Sam has some thoughts on this in this week's post.

Enjoy!

Has someone talked to you about the importance of community recently?

How about the value of vulnerability?

I bet you've seen content on both subjects at least once in the last six months.

Interestingly enough – science has shown the percentage of people in this world without ANY confidants (not even one) has doubled in the last 20 years. Somehow, loneliness is on the rise.

I talk to men regularly who struggle with pornography.

Each of their stories is unique, but one thing remains the same.

The man has felt or currently feels lonely without fail.

Then I ask… what have you done about it?

The answer usually includes one of the following:

They told a trusted leader and never followed up with them
No one in their friend circle can be trusted with the details of their struggle
Tried an accountability partner system and it's not working

All of these experiences can cause a lot of frustration, but I have a particular bone to pick about the accountability partner system that is so commonly preached.

Almost every guy I talk to that is looking to get free of porn has tried a form of accountability at some point.

Talk soon,
Brittni
