3. Why is it important to be transparent and accountable to other men?

4. Do you have any secret thoughts or sinful ways you need to confess? If so, why not confess them right now to your group and get it out in the open so they can help and pray for you. (You may name them, or leave them unnamed if it would make you feel more comfortable).

OPTIONAL: Close by having each man pray a few verses of Psalm 51 out loud.
