Questions for small group accountability

Personal accountability is an important way of growing in godliness. These trusted relationships (usually between two or three people) are a place where we can ask one another honest questions about our lives and how we are living to please God. They also provide a place to pray for one another and encourage and support each other in difficult times. Ed Stetzer shares some questions that can be good to ask one another for the purposes of accountability.
