Episode #23: Why "Accountability" Didn't Work for Me

Savage Marriage with Phil and Priscilla

Accountability groups have been around for decades and seem to represent the essential pedigree for a good Christian man wanting to show others he's serious about his walk with God.

But what happens when men in these groups continue to experience unwanted sexual behavior, sometimes for years, with no apparent improvement?

And what about their wives, who are trusting that this band of brothers will result in true deliverance for their husbands, even when the wives don't really know what goes on there?

And why do women's accountability groups seem to be missing?

Join Phil and Priscilla today as they explore why many men's experiences with "accountability" just don't live up to the expectations.

If you (or your spouse) are in an accountability group, this podcast will cover five ways that your group can be improved.

Phil and Priscilla's book, Savage Marriage: Triumph over Betrayal and Sexual Addiction, is a first place winner of a 2023 Christian Indie Award and is available on Amazon.com.
