A Definition of Manhood


These seven principles come together to form a single definition of manhood…

A man is an adult male

who accepts his masculinity
speaks and acts with maturity

embraces responsibility
functions independently

can lead a family faithfully
and recognizes his accountability

as an image bearer of God

These seven attributes need to be developing in every young man during his teenage years. And these are the attributes we should be embracing as grown men, too, for there is eternal significance behind each of them.

Watch for future posts about each of the individual principles.
