Where do those come from and why do you think they matter?2) What are your highest expectations about being a man?3) What do you think are God's or the Bible's expectations about being a man?4) What challenges your love as sacrificial for others' best interest and how can you grow into Christ-like love?5) What challenges your leadership and how can you grow into Christ-like leadership?Love - to will and work for the best interest (God's interest) for another.Leadership - A - Acknowledges God's will, B - Begins with submission, C - Clothed in love for God/others, D - Discipleship is the goal.Distorted leadership - A - Asserts my will, B - Begins with self, C - Clothed in selfishness, D - Demonstrating my "greatness" is the goal.
