Do you have people whom you can lean on for accountability, encouragement, and exhortation? 

In this episode, Jeff and Dougal discuss: 

• Going all in on spiritual formation in life’s transitions. 
• How Christ can heal the wounds of our past and use them to lift others.
• Three life habits: Model, Mentor, Message. 
• Avoiding isolation.

Key Takeaways: 

• Advice to high school seniors: When you go off to college, step it up big time. Not only will it be good for you and your relationship with the Lord, but it will be good for your grades, too. 
• Spiritual formation, disciple making, and Bible studies can bring you more success in areas that are not obviously related.  
• Not all men in prison are bad people. Many made stupid decisions and don’t want to continue making those decisions. Many are enthusiastic about life and are redeemed. 
• A peer group, built on trust and accountability, can help you craft and understand your life’s calling and purpose. 

"Do not get isolated. You must have accountability. You've got to have eyeball to eyeball accountability with other men." —  Dougal Cameron
