If you were to describe what it means to be a man in one word, what would if be and why?

"I would choose self-control. Proverbs 25:28(paraphrased) says "A man without self-control is like a city without walls." I believe a man with self-control can thrive in the other qualities of being a man. To have self-control is to have a heart that is secure and fortified from everything that attacks and brings down a man."

Who is the manliest person you know and why?

"I would say Mike Bickle. Rare is the man who actually practices what he preaches, Mike does this with excellence. For decades this man has prayed six hours a day, loved his wife well, leads incredibly, and is humble."
