Today I embark on a new direction in the training of my leadership. I’m teaching and modeling the principle of accountability – bringing it to a greater dimension.
I believe that both, leaders and followers, without accountability, will eventually come to ruin. We are incapable of doing what God has called us to do by ourselves. We need people who can challenge us, hold us accountable, and protect us from the enemy, other people and mostly from ourselves.
The most vulnerable areas of our lives are our blind spots. We all have them. They are the things that God knows about us; the things that other people know about us but the things that we are totally blind to. These are usually the areas where we don’t give anyone permission to speak into our lives. These are the things that, unfortunately, we believe we can handle on our own.
I’m convinced that every pastor needs a pastor…every leader needs a leader… WE NEED EACH OTHER – We all need accountability!
Accountability is not a permission getting thing… it’s a protection thing.
