When a boy goes from 17 to 18, he doesn't automatically become a man. What separates the men from the boys is they way he lives.
 
A boy lives day to day, wants to be MVP, plays, wants the reassurance of the crowd, and is a predator.
 
A man has a vision for his life, is a team player, works, has the courage to take a minority position, and is a protector.
 
There are five marks, distinguishing traits, that have defined all great men throughout history. Pastor Brian Tome draws from his own experience and the lives of others as he calls on men to examine themselves and take steps in the direction of the adventure of a fully realized manhood that honors God, respects women, elevates others, and works purposefully for an end greater than their own satisfaction or pleasure.
