Accountability Group
Every other week a group of my senior high youth meet to do three things. We eat good food. We enjoy each other’s fellowship. We hold each other accountable.
We usually meet at a restaurant and after we get our food and catch up a bit I’ll pull out the list of questions. These are the same questions that Wesley asked his followers to ask themselves in their daily devotions.
However, I have found that they are great conversation starters for conversations about accountability. Usually when we are ready I’ll have someone call out a random number and we’ll ask that question. The person who calls out the number has to answer, and then we’ll usually let a few more people answer before moving on.
There is no way we get to all the questions. However, by the end of the hour everyone has spent some time being self reflective about themselves, their life and their faith.
During this Covid-19 pandemic we are all shut down in our homes and have had to take ministry online. We continue to meet via zoom. We usually use the DYM Sidekick App along with our zoom meetings. Therefore, I made a file just for our accountability group.
Links
Below are two links. The first one is the free sidekick boxes file. Please note you will need to get the Sidekick App which is included in the Gold Membership from Download Youth Ministry. The good news is right now you can get 2 months of Gold Membership for free.
The second link is to the Discipleship Ministries Website and is a list of the questions you can copy, print and use on your own. This is what I typically use when we are meeting in person. I can easily pull it up on my phone.
