Another list of accountability questions

Back in February, I posted an article about accountability questions that I often ask (and answer) with those guys in my life who help hold me accountable. It’s a pretty good list, and while it’s by no means exhaustive, it does provide some good depth and provokes good conversation when we meet.

I’ve just come across another set of accountability questions from this blog entry by Stephen Altrogge of The Blazing Center. I also find this list just as thought-provoking, and in some ways more direct than the questions I’d listed before. If you use these questions with your accountability partner, and all they say is ‘yes’ or ‘no,’ then I urge to you probe more deeply - ask questions like ‘How,’ or ‘why,’ or ‘give me an example.’

I’ll post the questions here, but for commentary about the questions, go to the article in Stephen’s blog.

• Have you been consistently pursuing the Lord through scripture reading and prayer?
• Have you diligently pursued your wife/husband this week?
• Have you seen any persistent patterns of sin in your life recently?
• Last week you confessed struggling with [insert sin]. Have you taken steps to fight it this week?
• When you gave into [insert sin], what were you believing about God in that moment? What were you believing about yourself?
• What is the truth that you need to believe in this situation?
• When you had the conflict with [insert person], what were you craving at that moment?
