I get a lot of questions about how to start a Men's Accountability Group. Here are a couple of great books and a basic set of accountability questions you can use.
How To Start A Men's Accountability Group:
1) Talk to a friend/brother in Christ about the idea.
2) Set a time and a recurring date (early mornings once a month works best for me).
3) Pick a place (I'm a coffee-shop / local cafe / restaurant kind of guy).
4) Show up and have breakfast, drink strong coffee, go through the questions, discuss a book designed to help you be a better man, and invest one hour a month in an accountability relationship/friendship that can greatly empower you and help your walk with Jesus.
(Don't just think about it, pray about it and talk about it... Do it!)
"As Iron Sharpens Iron, so one man sharpens another." - Proverbs 27:17
