The sun beat down on the bustling Athenian marketplace, a cacophony of voices and scents swirling around Paul. He saw the altars dedicated to various gods, each adorned with offerings and prayers. He noticed the inscription on one altar, "To the Unknown God," a testament to the Athenians' yearning for something beyond their own understanding. It was a moment of profound insight for Paul. He realized that he couldn't simply condemn their idolatry, for they were searching for something, a truth they couldn't fully grasp. He needed to build a bridge, to find common ground before presenting his message. With a gentle smile, he addressed the crowd, "Men of Athens, I see that you are very religious. For as I walked around and observed your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. Now what you worship as something unknown I am going to proclaim to you." His words, infused with respect and understanding, resonated with the Athenians, opening a door for him to share the true God, the one they were unknowingly seeking.

The old, weathered oak tree stood sentinel in the field, its gnarled branches reaching skyward like arms in supplication. It had seen generations come and go, its bark etched with the stories of time. Once a sapling, it had been vulnerable, exposed to the harsh elements. But through years of storms and droughts, it had grown strong, its roots anchoring it deep into the earth. Now, its shade provided solace to weary travelers, its leaves rustling with a gentle wisdom that whispered of resilience and the enduring power of life. Like the oak, we too can weather the storms, our roots grounded in faith and hope, growing stronger with each passing year.

The old woman sat on the porch, her hands gnarled like the branches of a twisted oak. Her eyes, though faded, held a wisdom that spanned lifetimes. She watched the children playing in the dusty street, their laughter a melody that echoed through the summer heat.

"They're like the wild sunflowers," she said, her voice a soft rustle of leaves. "Beautiful, strong, reaching for the sun. But they grow where they're planted, even if the soil is cracked and dry."

Her granddaughter, Lily, sat beside her, her brow furrowed in confusion. "But grandma, why do they grow in the bad places?"

The old woman smiled. "Because that's where they're needed, child. Like the sunflowers, we all have our own place in the world, even if it's not always the easiest."

Lily looked at the sunflowers swaying in the wind, their golden faces tilted towards the sun. She thought of her own life, the challenges she faced, the loneliness that sometimes crept in.

"But what about the weeds?" she asked. "They grow in the same places, but they're ugly and unwanted."

The old woman's smile deepened. "Even the weeds have a purpose, Lily. They remind us that even in the harshest of environments, life finds a way. And sometimes, they even help the sunflowers grow stronger, pushing them to reach higher for the sun."

Lily pondered this, her eyes widening with understanding. The old woman's words resonated deep within her. The sunflowers, the weeds, they were all part of the same tapestry, each playing its role in the grand scheme of life.

She looked at her grandmother, her heart filled with gratitude. "Thank you, grandma," she whispered. "I understand now."

The old woman patted her granddaughter's hand, her eyes twinkling with love. "We all have the potential to bloom, Lily, even in the most unexpected places. Just like the sunflowers, we can find beauty and strength even in the face of adversity."

The sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange and purple. The children's laughter faded, replaced by the gentle chirping of crickets. Lily sat on the porch, her heart filled with a newfound hope, the image of the sunflowers etched in her mind. She knew that even in the face of hardship, she could find her own way to bloom.

One of the things I appreciate about the T4T (Training for Trainers) approach is how every meeting begins in the first section with reporting in on what you have done the past week to apply what you learned before. Likewise, every meeting ends with the setting of new goals. How are you going to obey and put into practice what you learned in the lesson or story? This accountability loop is a very important part of making obedient disciples.



It goes much further than this though. We must develop an appreciation, even an embracing of friendly accountability in our lives as leaders personally. As we model this, our disciples see it. They begin to value it as well.

This will ensure that friendly accountability becomes part of the DNA of the movement. By upholding this value, the movement will be stable and strong even after you, as the coach, trainer, initiator, or leader move on. Accountability seems an unfriendly, even “dirty” word to many though.

Granted a lot of people have had bad experiences in their lives with heavy-handed or unkind accountability. Some leaders demand accountability. Some abuse it. In my context in Asia, many have had teachers who were harsh and cruel when they didn’t measure up to what was expected. As we introduce friendly accountability in these contexts we need to be aware of this. It is a big shift of mindset for people to welcome and embrace friendly accountability!

How do you help them change?

One of the things I notice is that it takes time and patience to bring about change. Consistently and lovingly ask them about their goals from the previous week. Go overboard to encourage and affirm positive actions. Never scold people for not doing what they said they would! Instead, gently encourage them with your own vulnerability and openness. Let them know you are with them and for them in this process of growth toward obedience to God’s word.

Whatever you do though, don’t just skip the asking about goals part becau
