Do you have someone in your life who can tell you "no"? Someone who knows you well enough to know that you're drowning behind a smile?

Spiritual accountability is a good thing, yet often avoided.

Here's the truth: You cannot accomplish your God-given calling without God-given accountability.

No, you don't need to go to a church service to be saved, but you can't live outside of fellowship and get what you need (Hebrews 10:25). No, you don't need a pastor to be saved, but without a pastor, you are missing an important piece that God is wanting for your life (Eph 4:11-12).

We must get comfortable with correction. Don’t run from righteous discipline. Godly accountability guides us to our calling.

Hebrews 12:10-11 NLT

"For our earthly fathers disciplined us for a few years, doing the best they knew how. But God’s discipline is always good for us, so that we might share in his holiness. No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening—it’s painful! But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way."
