Can anyone tell me what to expect when I get my accountablility partner in a few weeks. We are doing this in my youth group. I'm worried about this because there has been alot of things that have happened and I have trust issues with some of the people in my group. What can I do if i get partnered with the person that I don't trust.

I don't keep everything to myself, but I have different tastes than most other christian people I know.


A lot of people seem to think that if someone is different they are not christian.

If you think this is very difficult to you, I think you'd better tell the one that has put up this idea in the group. I don't think anyone should feel forced to do this, if being a bit afraid, and not knowing if one can trust safely on most of them.

Perhaps you can stay out from this and enjoy just spending time and getting more known with most of the ones in your group? Some people might be very open for doing a project like this at once, whilst others might need a bit more time to building up trust.

Ah... Okay, then I sure get you. A bit embarrassing, huh? ;)
Still, perhaps this is a way for you getting more known with him? :)


But if this makes you just feel more uncomfortable, well, then you can also say that you'd prefer most having a female person as an accountability partner. That should work too, and then no one needs getting to suspicious. It is often best having an accountability partner being of the same gender as well anyways. :)

Yeah it is a bit embarrasssing. But i feel conferable talkin to that person as long i don't have to talk about who i like and all. If we can avoid that then i should make it but i really don't know if we can avoid that or not

If you feel uncomfortable or unsure for any reason, ask for another partner.

Think of it like if you were living in a college dorm and you and your roomate were not getting along, then you would ask to be switched to a new room with someone who you related to better.

Not everyone will have the same experiences or strengths as you.

I don't know the reason you have an accountability partner, but trusting the others knowledge, honestly, and ability to do what you need, and follow through and stay commited, is very important, especially if this is serious for you.

And yes they might take offense to you not feeling comfortable with them, but if you're all in it together, then everyone should be working together to accomplish whatever it is your're doing.

well if you like them more than just a friend, how can you have trust issues.

did they do something harmful to you?

are you similar in age, maturity, is there anyone else watching what is going on.

if you're not able to protect, and make choices you feel confident in, then speak up, I can't guarnatee someone will actually listen and help you, but this your one and only life.

sometimes we find ourselves in situations like in war, where you have to be quick and if you don't make the right decisions it can do damage to your life.

but guess what, not everyone judges you in the same way.

maybe you are taking it too serious. I don't know. this is just general advice.
