Presented by Ryan Kingsley & Shaun Brauteseth

In this session, Ryan Kingsley and Shaun Brauteseth unpack the concept of "accountability"; what it is, why we need it, and where is it seen in the Bible. They take a closer look at the biggest reasons people oppose accountability and discuss why it’s not others meddling with your life. Instead, they position accountability as an opportunity to truly live like Jesus. They call us all to be bold, to live in the light and to give an account today so we can stand firm to the end.
