Category: Roadmap to Better Manhood

My current series about changing the optics for manhood and masculinity continues with more work toward creating a roadmap that develops better men. In my last post, A Man’s Identity: Knowing Who You Are and Whose You Are, I stated the first step to better manhood is knowing the differences between being a “male” and a “man.” Maturity as a man means you learn to use your masculine attributes and experiences for good. In this post, I explain how men can find their purpose, but that men of God realize they have a higher purpose, which is to glorify God in all they do. Why Do We Need to Find Purpose? Just as I began the last post, let’s start with the “why” as in why a man needs to find his purpose.  During my research on this topic, the word “responsibility” came up repeatedly.

Even today, it appears many guys have “gone off the road” because they don’t understand

To continue my series about creating a roadmap for becoming better men, I want to begin with a definition of what it means to be a “real” man using the acrostic R-E-A-L. The definition (and the developing roadmap for better manhood will evolve throughout this series) will also support my theory that every man is better by having better friends.  Change Without Changing In the opening post, Time for a Change, I described the changes in frequency and content for my blog that I hope will increase your engagement and garner a few minutes of your valuable time. While some things changed, my mission has not: I still believe men are at their best when they have deeper, more authentic friendships, what I call GodBuddies. But I also desire to help all men become better men – regardless of their beliefs. In the second post of this series, The Secrets
