Recently I saw a video clip of a preacher mocking the concept of accountability for pastors. In his snarky aside, he ridiculed elders who wanted to hold him accountable, calling them proud and pathetic. The thing that made the clip so poignant was that this same pastor had since experienced a dramatic downfall when his reckless and sinful behaviors came to light. Apparently, he needed the accountability after all.
We all do. This week’s resource we’re featuring is Accountability for Church Leaders. This will help you and the other leaders in your church determine how—and to whom—each leader needs to be accountable. Of course, to truly safeguard your leadership, you need to have strong character. Use our Character & Integrity Assessment Pack to identify those areas in which you need to grow.
