This series about creating a roadmap for better manhood brings us to the next aspect: mature men know how to use their masculinity properly.  My initial post for this series, Time for a Change, explained that I want to expand the discussion about a man’s need for better friendships, which I believe is critical to good and proper manhood. The second post, The Secrets to Becoming a Real (Godly) Man stated I want to change the optics of proper manhood since the world needs more good and godly men.

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.
