Positioned to Prosper with Erica Pyle

What is Real Accountability?

Erica Pyle Episode 177

#177// We've been lied to about what accountability is.

WARNING: I *may* be on a bit of a rant in this week's episode as I "discuss" what I think has happened to real accountability over the last few decades. With the rise of productivity coaching, hands-on "mentorships" and "results Christianity," alongside declining acknowledgement for basic, personal responsibility in pretty much all areas of life (even in the Church, my friend!), accountability has taken on quite the co-dependent flavoring. It's had me a little "triggered" as of late.

As a self-described "breakthrough coach," and someone who absolutely LIVES to help others run their own race to breakthrough in their assigned lane to the glory of God, to think we've been sold this fake accountability as a way to "help" us get to the finish line is maddening to me. I believe this twisted definition of accountability offers us the spirit of victimhood and an "I can't if you don't make me" (wipes away tear) attitude that is absolutely getting folks stuck and keeping them out of their "promised land."

On this episode of The Positioned to Prosper Podcast I'm ranting. But then I'm teaching. And THEN I'm inviting you into real accountability. So if you get a little twitchy, too, when you sense a rise of codependency in the room, or if you're wondering if, just maybe, you've fallen for this false sense of support yourself . . . Grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let's Go!
