2022 is here, which means people are setting goals and attempting to change certain habits in their lives. Unfortunately, many people have already become discouraged and have begun giving up the resolutions they just set into motion.

Cam and Steve discuss the "why" behind their objectives and share some methods to achieve those goals.

If you have ever been in some type of addiction recovery group, been committed to a local church body, or have been inundated with corporate leadership jargon you have heard the word accountability. There is a longing in each of us to be fully known, to feel safe, and to be loved unconditionally. We believe that this is a soul template designed by Jesus and it is for our good. What does this have to do with accountability? Well, scripturally speaking, everything. Listen in this month and turn it up for the people in the back!
