Day 6: C = Call an Accountability Partner

No one breaks free from a porn addiction alone.

As 2 Timothy 2:22 tells us, we’re called to “flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.”

Notice the command is to flee—but not by ourselves. We’re meant to flee temptation together, in fellowship with others who seek God.

Confessing your struggle and involving others in your journey is key to lasting freedom. When you bring a temptation into the light, it loses its power. James 5:16 reminds us of this important spiritual discipline, "Therefore confess your sins to one another and pray for one another that you may be healed." This is where healing begins.

You need accountability—someone to lean on in moments of weakness, to help you resist isolation and stay strong.

Reaching out to an accountability partner when temptation strikes can be the difference between falling back into old habits and walking in freedom. This is one of the reasons the Freedom Fight app has been so helpful: Alerting your accountability is only a click away.

Today's Action:

Meditate on the scripture below, answer the reflection questions, and ask someone you trust to be your accountability partner if you haven't already.

“Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.” (2 Timothy 2:22)

Reflection Questions:

1. Why is it important to have someone by your side when fleeing temptation?
2. How will calling or texting someone when you’re tempted help you escape isolation and choose freedom?
3. Who in your life could be your strong accountability partner in this journey? Sharing this plan with them could be a good first step to asking them to be your accountability partner.

4. What would the Lord have you do to walk more fully in the light in this area?
