This is Jenny Allen and you are listening to the Made for This podcast.

If you're following along with the Find Your People Book Club,

this week will be reading Chapter 7 and now here's Jenny.

Guys we're actually going to talk about something that you're going to want to turn it off when I tell you what it is.

So just hang with me because it's actually one of my favorite things in my entire life.

This is the reason I believe that my life is what it is like that I get to do what I do

That my kids are largely doing okay our Our marriage is fantastic.

This is the secret sauce that I rarely talk about

because people hate this topic.

But we are talking about relationships.

We are talking about friendship and living in a village

and committing to do life with a few people.

And one of the greatest things that protects me in my life

is the word accountability.

Okay, I said it, it's real sexy, I know, you're just like, oh, I cannot wait for this podcast. It's going to be so helpful. It is. Just stick with me. Do not turn it off right now.

Stick with me, because it is actually probably one of my favorite parts of my life is that

I am accountable to people, that I am accountable to a very small number of people. Let me tell you first all the benefits

so I can I'm gonna do a little sales pitch here because I realize this is not

exciting to you when you think of relationships. You're like I don't like people that tell me what to do I don't want to

have to do what people tell me to do so why would I choose that I don't either so I

get it I am not naive as to why this is hard for people, but it is the greatest protection of my life.

That we live in deep community and that we are known and that we are accountable to people in our lives.
