Faith Applied

Accountability benefits the functioning and progress of individuals, organizations, even societies - but many treat that 12 letter word like a four letter word.

How do you view accountability?

Do you see it as a needed help for growth and development, part of punishment, or something somewhere between?

Let's talk about it.

In this episode we will:

• Examine accountability and why it matters.
• Look at reasons we sometimes avoid accountability.
• Share four helpful tips for sourcing productive accountability relationships.

Mentioned in this episode:

Scripture references Galatians 6:1, Matthew 7:3-5

Forbes article "Why Accountability Is Critical For Achieving Winning Results"

God made our bodies to move.

It's also pretty well known that exercise does a body good, yet four out of five United States adults do not get adequate physical activity to improve or maintain health.

We can do better.

In this episode we will:

• Take a look at how adequate activity, or the lack thereof, impacts our health.
• Dig into the four most common barriers to regular exercise.
• And for those that may need a little bit of help getting going, we'll share tips to help you just do it.

Here's the thing about the past – we all have one.

And – not everything back there is sunshiny and rainbows.

Some looks back reveal dreary times. Past pains, shame or regrets that can be burdensome.

We can't change the pictures of our past, but we can adjust the frame in which they are viewed.

This episode contains audio from a video meditation from Phil 3 on how to position past pains to propel your future.

Scripture Reference

…I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. All of us, then, who are mature should take such a view of things… (Phil. 3:13b – 15a NIV)

The Faith Applied podcast is about forward movement and growth. To start this podcast, I was led to focus this first episode on how not to stop – how to stick to what you start.

Show notes with time stamps:

01:12 This episode is for individuals who at some time or another haveset a goal, a good goal. Something that you want to fix in your life that needs fixing. Something you want to uplift or improve. You are excited. You get started and are cooking with steam. You go for awhile and then all of a sudden something shifts and you stop. Then sometime later you start again, and you stop again and thus begins a start-stop cycle that I call startitis.

01:45 – Maybe you've had this experience related to nutrition or trying to lose weight…

03:00 – Or perhaps, you've lived the the same song with a different tune and instead of starting and stopping eating well, the start/stop relates to exercise.

03:50 Or perchance your startitis doesn't connect with physical wellness – it impacts your spiritual wellbeing. You desire a closer walk with Jesus and want to spend more time in God's Word. You start regular personal study with a plan to complete the bible and fall off somewhere in Leviticus…

05:00 Can any of you relate to any of this? I can tell you with all honesty and sincerity that I can. We are not alone. We all have some area(s) where we start off on a path the better, but stop and cycle through a pattern that is active but goes nowhere.

08:07 We fall off the wagon so many times we refuse to try again. We know the truth that 'he who Christ has set free is free indeed', but we continue to walk around in bondage to behaviors that hold us back.

09:12 Permanent positive change. Is possible! It may not be easy, but it is possible.

Let's dig into three helps to stick to what we start.

10:29 Start small. Small changes are more sustainable. Starting small and going steady builds self-efficacy, protects our progress, and delights the Lord.

19:08 Find your fit. If we repeated try to make a positive change, and keep falling of that wagon - wagon, perhaps the wagon ain't ours to ride. Don't jump on the bandwagon of what is popular. Examine thyself so you can change yourself. Find and flourish in your path to better.

24:39 The most powerful tip to help you stick with what you start doesn't deal with what or how - it looks at why…your motivation to start. Honestly answer the question Jesus asked the lame man at the Bethesda pool….

30:46 Talk to God about it. Engage the intersection of the divine power of God and human responsibility and obedience for consistent and effective action.
