Christian Accountability: A Discussion Guide
Christ-Centered Conversations for Covenant Eyes Users
© 2013 CovenantEyes.com | 2
The following is a personal assessment
designed to help you develop a life of godly
humility, purity, and integrity. To the best of
your ability, fill out this assessment before
speaking with your Accountability Partner or
Accountability Group, and then use this as a
template for conversation.
The aims of this list are to help you:
1.	 remember and summarize the temptations
you have faced, the choices you have made,
and the state of your heart;
2.	discuss these matters with trusted
Accountability Partners;
3.	talk concretely with others about ways to
guard against sinful actions, thoughts, and
motives; and
4.	see your need for God’s grace—for overcoming
both the guilt and the grip of sin.

It may be difficult to get through all of these questions in a single meeting, so choose those
which are most pertinent for you.1
1.	 Several sources were consulted to compile and adapt this list of questions, including John Wesley’s Band Meeting questions,
Bethlehem Baptist Church’s pastoral accountability questionnaire, the Life Transformation Group system by Neil Cole, A
Spiritual Formation Workbook by James Bryan Smity and Lynda Graybeal, Grace Brethren International Missions, Mark
Driscoll’s sermon “A City in a City,” “Talking About Idolatry in a Postmodern Age” by Tim Keller, Seeing with New Eyes by
David Powlison, and Gospel-Centered Discipleship by Jonathan Dodson.

Fill out the following questionnaire before meeting with your Accountability Partner or
Accountability Group. Use it to spark discussion and encouraging conversation.
Sexual Purity
1.	 I have avoided looking at pornography or other sexually
provocative images online or offline.
2.	 I have avoided images, interactions, or stories online
I knew could be seductive or titillating (but wouldn’t
necessarily be considered “pornographic”).
3.	 I have kept my eyes from second glances and kept my
mind from entertaining thoughts about someone (other
than my spouse).
4.	 I have actively avoided known triggers of sexual
temptation or titillation.
5.	 I am successfully fighting the desire to be noticed by or
to attract the attention of other men or women (other
than my spouse).
6.	 I have not spent time with a man or woman in a way that
could be viewed as compromising to my purity (or my
faithfulness to my spouse).

Accountability Partner Discussion Guide
Satisfaction in God
17.	 I am resting completely in what Christ has done for
me—not obsessing about my own failures nor putting
stock in my own performance.
18.	Regularly focusing on gospel gives me great joy that
overcomes life’s disappointments.
19.	When I hear disappointing news, I do not complain or
live in doubt or fear, but instead I am inspired to pray
and trust in God’s care and providence.
20.	I am enjoying prayer, and I am praying for others and
myself with consistency.
21.	The Bible is consistently shaping the way I think and
live. I spend regular time reading or hearing God’s
words, and as a result of that time, I have determined
to better trust and obey God in specific ways.

Dispositions of the Heart
22.	Though Christ is the one I want to put at the center of my life, there are specific people, experiences,
or objects that I am tempted to make a chief source of my significance, satisfaction, and fulfillment.2

…… Sexual Pleasure
…… Financial Security
…… Spouse

…… Girlfriend/Boyfriend
…… Parent
…… Hobby
…… Career
…… My Image
…… Friend
…… Health
…… Comfort
…… Opinions of Others
23.	I am currently fighting these dispositions in my heart. (Check all that apply.)
2.	 Often this can be a difficult assessment to make, so ask yourself some critical questions. What am I most afraid of losing?
What do I desire more than anything else? What do I tend to revolve my life around? To what do I run for comfort or escape?
What do I tend to worry about? What do I find myself daydreaming or fantasizing about? Where do my thoughts drift in the
quiet moments? What do I complain about most? What angers me the most? What has caused me to get angry with God?
What do I pray for? What makes me happiest? What do I want to have more than anything else? What do I make the biggest
sacrifices for? Whose approval am I seeking? On my deathbed, what would I say has made my life worthwhile?
…… Pride
…… Resentment
…… Self-pity
…… Unforgiveness
…… Bitterness
…… Covetousness
…… Critical Spirit
…… Deceptiveness
…… Discontentment

Christian accountability-discussion-guide

  • 1. Christian Accountability: A Discussion Guide Christ-Centered Conversations for Covenant Eyes Users
  • 2. © 2013 CovenantEyes.com | 2 The following is a personal assessment designed to help you develop a life of godly humility, purity, and integrity. To the best of your ability, fill out this assessment before speaking with your Accountability Partner or Accountability Group, and then use this as a template for conversation. The aims of this list are to help you: 1. remember and summarize the temptations you have faced, the choices you have made, and the state of your heart; 2. discuss these matters with trusted Accountability Partners; 3. talk concretely with others about ways to guard against sinful actions, thoughts, and motives; and 4. see your need for God’s grace—for overcoming both the guilt and the grip of sin. Introduction Copyright © 2013 Covenant Eyes, Inc. All rights reserved. You are free to distribute both print and electronic copies of this e-book to anyone you choose. As a courtesy, e-mail us at resources@covenanteyes.com and let us know you are doing this so we can keep you informed of other similar resources. www.covenanteyes.com 1.877.479.1119 1525 W.

Several sources were consulted to compile and adapt this list of questions, including John Wesley’s Band Meeting questions, Bethlehem Baptist Church’s pastoral accountability questionnaire, the Life Transformation Group system by Neil Cole, A Spiritual Formation Workbook by James Bryan Smity and Lynda Graybeal, Grace Brethren International Missions, Mark Driscoll’s sermon “A City in a City,” “Talking About Idolatry in a Postmodern Age” by Tim Keller, Seeing with New Eyes by David Powlison, and Gospel-Centered Discipleship by Jonathan Dodson.

I am resting completely in what Christ has done for me—not obsessing about my own failures nor putting stock in my own performance. 18. Regularly focusing on gospel gives me great joy that overcomes life’s disappointments. 19. When I hear disappointing news, I do not complain or live in doubt or fear, but instead I am inspired to pray and trust in God’s care and providence. 20. I am enjoying prayer, and I am praying for others and myself with consistency. 21. The Bible is consistently shaping the way I think and live. I spend regular time reading or hearing God’s words, and as a result of that time, I have determined to better trust and obey God in specific ways. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
