It’s a question many people ask: Where are the good single Christian men? The truth is, they exist—but they’re not always easy to find. Why? Because good Christian men aren’t born overnight. They are made through a life of intentional faith, discipline, and love.
If you’re a young man wondering how to become the kind of man who is not only “good” but also useful in God’s kingdom, this is for you.
⚠️ Do you want to learn more about how you can become a man after God’s own heart? Read my full blog, “21 Best Christian Books for Men That Will Prepare You for Life.”
1. Start with God: Be a Man of Faith
The foundation of being a good man is your relationship with God. Before you can lead, love, or serve others, you must be rooted in Christ. Daily prayer, Bible study, and living out God’s Word shape your character.
A man who loves God first naturally becomes a man others can trust, rely on, and admire. As Jesus said in Matthew 6:33, “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you.”
2. Improve Yourself: Grow in Character and Skills
Being a good man isn’t just about avoiding sin—it’s about actively becoming the best version of yourself. That means developing patience, humility, integrity, and perseverance.
It also means improving practical skills:
- Serve faithfully in your church.
- Contribute positively to your community.
- Work diligently in your career or studies.
A man who grows himself in these ways is not only attractive but also prepared to be a blessing to others, whether in friendship, ministry, or marriage.
3. Serve Others: Make Yourself a Useful Tool in God’s Hands
God doesn’t call men to be idle. He calls men to serve—to be instruments of His love. The good Christian man invests in others: mentoring younger men, helping in church programs, or lending a hand in the community.
Romans 12:6-8 reminds us: “We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is encouraging, then encourage.” Use your gifts. Make a difference. Become a man who doesn’t just exist, but impacts the lives of others for God’s glory.
4. Pursue Excellence in Relationships
A good Christian man knows that respect, honesty, and love are not optional—they are essential. Whether with family, friends, or a future spouse, your relationships should reflect Christ.
Start now: learn to listen, to communicate well, and to honor women with dignity. Practice self-control, empathy, and consistency. These habits don’t just attract others—they prepare you for godly leadership in marriage and family.
5. Be Patient, But Be Intentional
God doesn’t rush His work, and He’s shaping your life even now. Don’t focus solely on finding the right woman; focus on becoming the right man. The good single Christian men you hear about are those who have worked quietly to become faithful, disciplined, and useful in God’s kingdom.
A Challenge for Every Young Christian Man
The world will always ask: Where are the good men? But God asks you: Will you be one?
Start today. Pray, grow, serve, and pursue excellence in everything. Be a man of faith, integrity, and love. The more you become the man God wants you to be, the more you’ll naturally become the kind of man others are looking for—a blessing, a leader, and a faithful servant in His kingdom.
Remember, the good single Christian men aren’t lost—they’re being made, and you can be one of them.
