This week on Outside the Sanctuary, Steve Entwistle and Bill Merkh welcome Vince McDonald Jr. for a conversation that feels less like an interview and more like pulling up a chair to listen to three friends talk honestly about their walk with God.

Accountability isn't theoretical for them. It's lived. It's shared. It's something Steve and Vince Jr. have practiced together for years, showing up for one another in the moments when faith feels strong and in the moments when it doesn't. They talk about what it's like to let someone see the real you, the doubts, the habits you're trying to break, the places where you need grace and truth at the same time.

Bill brings his own reflections on what it means to be accountable to God, not out of fear but out of relationship. The three of them explore how God uses people in our lives to steady us, challenge us, and remind us who we're becoming. There's laughter, there's honesty, and there's the unmistakable sense that this is what Christian community is supposed to feel like.

This episode is an invitation to step a little closer to God and a little closer to each other. It's a reminder that accountability isn't about being watched, it's about being known, supported, and loved enough to grow.
