7:23:56 PM: Accountability is there to help us flourish…but can it be a negative?
7:25:12 PM: Group: If the accountability does not line up with what we see as valuable or what we see as right, we are only people-pleasing

7:29:23 PM: What is the best way for us to grow in the faith? How do we do this in the most effective way possible?
7:30:44 PM: Most of us, following after Jesus, must admit that we desire to grow and follow closer, not remain stagnant
