Accountability partners are an unhelpful mechanism that works against the call of discipleship in Scripture.
They function more like police than a partner.
Better to be in ongoing discipleship groups than have someone call you once a month.

They can be helpful if they are a ongoing regular part of one's week. It sounds like the unhelpful mechanism is a partner that isn't a regular part of one's life.

How about both. I’ve had the same accountability partner for ten years, and I have have become more like Christ because of his encouragement and rebuke.
