Morley argues that accountability is not optional for the man who wants to change — it is the missing ingredient in most men's attempts at spiritual growth, and its absence explains why so many sincere resolutions fail.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Morley opens this chapter with the observation that most men try to change alone — and most fail alone. Have you ever made a serious commitment to change something in your life and then drifted back to the old pattern? What was missing?
2.What is your honest reaction to the idea of accountability — someone who knows your real struggles and asks you about them regularly? Does it feel like an aid or a threat, and why?
3.Hebrews 10:24–25 calls believers to 'spur one another on toward love and good deeds' and to not forsake meeting together. How seriously do you take the communal, accountable dimension of Christian discipleship?
