Men or Grown-up boys?

So I have ventured out to read as much as I can about "becoming a man." Internet articles, magazines, books, and blogs have all provided an interesting look into this subject. I have intentionally only read secular articles in order to get an idea of what the world thinks a man should be. Oddly enough I have discovered some incredible wisdom from secular writers on this particular subject.

I actually have thoroughly enjoyed the realness, bluntness, and even the great detailed explanations on what a man "should be" or "shouldn't be." It made me wonder about how well the Christian world is doing in explaining what it means to be a man of God. I'm not knocking the Christian world, but there is a myriad of secular sources that provide great advice on how to teach a boy to be a man.

My question for myself and other Godly men is " What are you doing to raise up Godly men and not just grown-up boys?"

There will be more on this later...
