A lot of masculine wisdom is communicated silently, through action and demonstration, but I really deeply appreciate when a man is frank and honest about what helps him find fulfillment. Thank you sir.
Yeah, I’m glad this sort of conversation is becoming more common on the internet, gives me a peace of mind that with all the craziness going on the youth can see how to act right, to quote suda51: “kids are pure, they know who’s strongest”
I was gonna say the exact same thing. I learned good stuff watching my dad. My mom was awful (I'm a young lady) I wish he wouldn't given me more direction and guidance with his words. I really appreciate channels where I can get what I missed from my parents
There are a few words for Peace in Scripture and the connotations, definitions are also connected to Completeness, which is necessary to have the entire concept of Shalom In Hebraic (and Scriptural) thought. In the Greek the word is G1515 εἰρήνη eirḗnē, i-ray'-nay; probably from a primary verb εἴρω eírō (to join); peace (literally or figuratively); by implication, prosperity:-one, peace, quietness, rest, + set at one again. To truly be at peace is to be complete. Shalom H7965 שָׁלוֹם shâlôwm, shaw-lome'; or שָׁלֹם shâlôm; from H7999; safe, i.e. (figuratively) well, happy, friendly; also (abstractly) welfare, i.e. health, prosperity, peace:-× do, familiar, × fare, favour, friend, × great, (good) health, (× perfect, such as be at) peace(-able, -ably), prosper(-ity, -ous), rest, safe(-ty), salute, welfare, (× all is, be) well, × wholly. My friends, be at Shalam H7999 שָׁלַם shâlam, shaw-lam'; a primitive root; to be safe (in mind, body or estate); figuratively, to be (causatively, make) completed; by implication, to be friendly; by extension, to reciprocate (in various applications):-make amends, (make an) end, finish, full, give again, make good, (re-) pay (again), (make) (to) (be at) peace(-able), that is perfect, perform, (make) prosper(-ous), recompense, render, requite, make restitution, restore, reward, × surely. Shalam, Shalom Aleichem, Aleinu, May It Rest Upon And Within You, And May We All Be Encompassed By It. In The Name Of The Messiah YaHUsHa יהושע of Nazareth, I pray yes, and Amên אמן. Love, Peace, And Elbow Grease Y'all!
This channel randomly started showing up on my feed. I'm not into country music or cigars or dressing like a cowboy or anything... But damn... I've seen several videos of this guy, and I very much do enjoy what he has to say. They hit the heart and soul and they are just uplifting and positive. THIS is more of what the world needs. Good values. Respect. Much respect to this guy- truly.
Same here. This man's video just showed up on my feed, and i love listening to him. Btw, i do love cigars. Thank you sir for your kind spirit, and your wisdom! The world needs more people like you. Bless you abundantly.
Same. I ignored them at first but watched the full 30 min conversation with his wife on their marriage. Audio was horrible but I couldn't stop listening. Sent it to the wife and we found it refreshing. Good to know our marriage experience/PoV is similar.
@@Reaper-su2ov I agree. I am religious, but I also don't agree with everything he has to say. However, if you can even find one nugget of wisdom that you can use, it's well worth it. Even when I don't agree with him, he's entertaining and he makes me think.
I’m a software engineer, writing code in the office all day, but my true passion is playing guitar. It just resets me. I love the natural world. The ocean. Animals. I’ll never be able to fully comprehend the amount of beauty in this world. Music.
@Geo HTX I'm not really an engineer since I don't have an engineering degree. But I am a software developer. There are two routes you can take. One is going for a degree through college. This route takes about 3 years. It takes time and it's kinda expensive. The other route is self-education. This means looking up what is being taught in college, opening TH-cam or Udemy or whatever, and watching courses. Most college courses you'd take you can find on the internet. Heck MIT has a whole semester of math and computer science on their TH-cam channel. This route of course takes dedication. You wanna make sure the lectures and courses you're watching are good and have credible information. Now, of course, the latter option won't get you a degree or anything, but in the high-tech world, it's less about degrees and more about the experience you gain in learning. That's why it's good to work on projects while learning. Whether if private, or contributing to an open source. Can increase your resume, and help you learn a bit faster and better. If you want some resources for self-teaching, here are some: Udemy - look for a course in whatever field that has the most students and the highest review rate. Tech with Tim - a channel on TH-cam of a pretty cool guy. Teaches just about anything related to programming. MIT on YT - MIT TH-cam channel has a few courses for math, data structures, and computer science in general. Professor Leonard - A TH-cam channel of a cool math professor.
Glad to know that there is a man left on planet Earth who still lives a man’s life. I had a walk yesterday with my 2 year old granddaughter. She held my hand. We talked about the crickets that we heard thrumming in the woods. We looked for the moon in a cloudy sky, and picked up sticks and a few pieces of straw along the way. I carried her on part of the return trip and she tugged on the leaves of some low-hanging tree limbs. I was completely filled up in the manner that you describe.
“A man who still lives a man’s life” is probably my only goal in life I’m 18 and have tons of work to go to be that person but who the hell doesn’t at 18
The only thing that makes you a REAL man is respecting Christ. Wearing a cowboy hat while flicking a cigar doesn't help masculinity any more than wearing Quicksilver trunks and drinking lemonade.
This was beautiful. I feel people think success is lots of money, nice cars, fame, etc. and all that stuff can be a part of the success, but I truly believe a successful person is someone who has become truly happy in life. No matter if you are a school teacher or a billionaire, if you become truly happy in life, you have become successful.
@@IntrovertedLoLo Cigars don’t actually give that cancer, predominantly because you don’t inhale it into your lungs. They’re not cigs, things you huff down for an addiction; they’re a leisurely thing that you enjoy with time.
That was actually one of the most beautiful and grounded talks I've ever experienced. Such a humble man that just about anyone with half a brain can resonate with. May God bless you, sir.
As a non-religious man myself, you make me feel exceptionally comfortable and like I am still deserving to hear what you have to say. You continue to give me perspective on how I can lead a better life, and be a better man. Take care & thank you!
i dont think of it has religion its a way of life i dont like the word religion makes it seem fake and ran by rules. it should be out of love and thankfulness.
It has zero to do with religion. It’s your deep spiritual connection with almighty God. It took me a long time to figure that one out as I was raised Baptist. 🙏🇺🇸
I think it's spiritual connection to something bigger than yourself. God is a very western concept. As a Hawaiian, we are polytheistic, meaning everything is divine., the rocks, the trees, the stars, even us etc. It's the recognition that we are all part of the divine. Its when we separate ourselves from that universal order that we are incomplete, lost, disconnected. All traditional tribal cultures knew this. They lived very harmonious with nature because being in nature demanded that your physical, spiritual and soul all be present in order to navigate it properly.
@@Dlindo8892 What are you talking about... religion and "God" are concepts tightly connected to each other. I think you just found a good way to live with yourself, but rather than accepting it and rolling with it, you still feel the need to stick to that "God" thing.
You're very comforting. My mom passed when I was 8 and my dad eventually allowed my narc stepmom to push me out of the family. The holidays are hard. You're like an online uncle ❤️
What a great word man. I'm sitting out on the patio with my 2 dogs. It's almost 3 am. I just looked up at the stars like I do sometimes & said to God. I don't get man. What am I doing here. I do have a blessed life, I also have 7 children & a wife. 4 daughters & 3 sons. I have definitely become unbalanced. I sat down and listened to this message. It was probably God having a little conversation w me. Very cool. Have a wonderful day.
I do not know why youtube recommend me this and I am GRATUFL. As men, we need elders who can put good words and direction in our life. So thankful for this.
Great video Duane. You have been blessed. I fell in love with the Salmon River area about 4 years ago. I went to look at buying a chunk of land. I am starting over. I want to get out of Washington state in a bad way. I grew up here on a farm and it has changed so much. While my Mom is still alive I will stay here. I want to do some horse riding there but haven't gotten a chance yet. When I do I may get a hold of your sons outfit. Thanks
I've stumbled across this channel, I'm so glad I have! As a combat veteran it's hard to find perspective, hard to seek help and at times hard to take advice. I'm glad I've "listened" to your channel...I appreciate your candor and honesty and down to earth vital advice.... I've been in a weird way as of late..and listening to your channel has been an "aha" moment! God bless you and yours sir! Thank you so much for your channel and what you do!
The timing of your video couldn’t have been better. I’ve been haunted by a question posed in a sermon I heard this week, “ do you enjoy, sincerely enjoy the life God has given you?” Dewayne has hit the nail on the head. God has given us the way and the means to “ have life and to have it more abundantly “, and to have joy in God Himself. Anything apart from that will be unbalanced as Dewayne said. Thanks Dewayne, God bless you!
@@josephang9927 Ill pray for you Joseph. I know life can be tough (a lot of times, too much it seems) but know that God loves us all. He suffered the same pains we do so that we can be pain- free one day. Try to look for the beauty and look for God, just because the devil is here too doesnt mean Gods message need be lost. He loves us, he tests us too, look at these troubles as tests and you as a soldier of God. Keep pushing forward brother, we got this🙏🏻
I had the pleasure of bearing witness to the granjure of The Grand Canyon. All of it was truly awe inspiring but when I got to a certain overlook near the Buzzards Roost i believe, The walls of the canyon floor opened up and there was a canyon inside a canyon and i was stopped on my tracks like something hit me in my chest...i forgot how to breathe...it felt down in my Soul that i had finally returned to a place i had long forgot and the Earth was welcoming me Home. I was Home. And the next rhing i know i was crying tears of joy and happiness at the profound beauty of that place. Im crying now as i recount it. I was weak kneed and had to hold onto the rail to stand up. It was the mosr beautiful thing ive ever seen and it awakened something in my Soul.
Hi Dwayne, I just wanted to let you know that it's actually *August 5th* 😊 You may want to double check/adjust the date on your watch, so you don't get any of your appointments mixed up.
Hi Dewayne thank you for your program .I'm from South africa and always wear boots and have a stetson .beside that I'm always told You are not a Cowboy .so what in my heart I am . Thanks again for all your advise .I'm 64 years old and I learn so much from your videos. You are an inspiration in my life . These are tough but when I look at your videos I feel alive again . Thanks again for you and Mamma .Danie Scholtz South Africa.
Thanks, Dewayne. Here’s my contribution. There is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is rapture in the lonely shore, there is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar; I love not Man the less, but Nature more. - Lord Byron I was encouraged to read Byron by my HS English teacher. I assume she’s long gone now. I wasn’t an easy student for her, but she cared, and it showed. God Bless her. I became a Forest Ranger
Greetings, I'm a newly married black man in my 20's who enjoys lighting up a cigar and listening to the knowledge, wisdom, and understanding God has graced you with. Through him you're bringing worlds together with understanding. Thank you for taking the time out to make these videos, it's bringing balance to my life.
I so need this in my life...even if just on the weekends as a novice ranch hand or day laborer. Sometimes I feel like a caged lion spending my weekends sitting around . I'm a Carpenter by trade and a bodybuilder by hobby but I feel I need something of this nature to make me whole...
God bless you my friend. I’ve only just recently been led to you, but you’ve changed my life. We all need redirecting back to what’s truly important, so thank you and blessings to you and your family.
I absolutely love your channel. It settles me. I now start my day with your videos to center me even though i can't afford horses or go to wrangler school. Thank you for your material.
I’m in the middle of a cabin build as a means of doing physical work. I have bone on bone in my right heel joint that is painful 24 x 7. I’m over 55. I wake up most mornings without the ability to put weight on my foot. I spend time with the Trinity each morning. I’m so imperfect, but I know I’m improving. There is something about getting yourself balanced that is deeply satisfying. I sleep tonight with gravel and dirt embedded in my knees…it’s the stuff soap won’t touch. Blessings brother. We all love you.
Your wisdom reminds me so much of my dad. I'm heading home now for Thanksgiving and I just can't wait to hug that man. Thank you for your amazing words
Thank you! I have been in balance and done everything I can to stay there. It's not easy, but, that's what makes it all worthwhile. I am a wanderer, a writer of poetry, and a visual artist. I stand my ground and praise God for the life he has blessed me with. Thank you again!
I am a 55 year old man and Dwayne’s videos and advice have helped me a lot. One of his videos answered a question about life that I had carried with me unanswered of years and he answered it. God bless this man.
Thank you - this video was confirmation that I need to get back on track and set a solid plan to move out of California. I lived in rural Colorado from 2007-2011 and it was the best time of my life. I miss that country lifestyle. I was surrounded by amazing people, we were all friends. I have no friends here in CA. My family has pulled me in so many directions with a career and college I feel drained and depleted. I want to sit outside on a patio until midnight smoking cigars like you and your wife. I hope I can make back there in time before it’s too late. Thanks.
Glad to hear that you are enjoy our wonderful Idaho. I used to herd cattle on the range near the lodge and know how beautiful that country up there is. Now live in close to your son.
I’m glad to finally have this feeling put into words and explained. Recently I’ve been feeling that emptiness, like there’s nothing for me to do, nothing to achieve. And I think it’s because I was neglecting my body too much. I never really cared about my physical self, I always just thought it was more of a “vessel,” that didn’t matter, especially since I’m gonna die some day anyways. But now that I hear this, I understand why I feel so much better whenever I go camping, or work on cars, or just go outside for a walk. This video genuinely helped me and really made me reflect and think. Thank you, genuinely.
I'm so grateful I found your channel. I'm watching your videos and you have the wisdom of Solomon which is a rare gift these days. Thank you for sharing the blessing of your wisdom. Take care and God bless you and your household 🙏
Thanks brother. You touched my heart. As I lay down to sleep tonight, I shall review Psalms with a new open mind. I needed that. My heart is broken and heavy. I have a window always open to the beauty of his magnificence. I know that HE is there. And I know that is the glory of His creation. Consider me to be a follower. Ps. I like the small cigars.
I've really come to appreciate these talks, I came for the horsemanship and tutorials but I stayed for the chats. I sit and paint while listening to these videos and find it gives me a great deal to chew on as I work. Thank you.
Dewayne, been listening to a numbers of your "spiels" (Yiddish for "talks"), enjoying every minute! It's encouraging to hear someone discourse on being self-reliant, developing their own opinions, standing firm in the face of adversity, being respectful of others' "territories" and ways of life, valuing physical labor and the work we are placed to do; even from an East Coast city slicker it all resonates! Honesty facing our own self is the key to having honest relations with others, thank you also for bringing up what might be some uncomfortable topics for some. You are welcome to have your say, I don't think anyone should begrudge you that although they in the end they may chooser to differ. I think you've become a source of common-sense information for many and we are all the richer for it. Peace and blessing, be well.
I love these kinds of videos. I was raised in the city all my life. I have dreams of someday moving to the farm area. Even if it's just one acre. I'm thankful I have an opportunity to be able to do a lot of those things you mentioned in this video. I saw my seeds in my little backyard garden, I work on my car, I do landscape witch is my full time job and I take a walk through nature. I'm blessed to be able to take trail walks once a week in a place called Lodi Lake located 10 minutes away from where I stay. As for giving thanks for everything in my life I try and do that everyday.
Thank you. Those moments of feeling completely integrated are rare and very special . I found myself in the Arctic and in volunteering in Latin America. Those experiences changed my life forever.❤❤🙂🪶🪶
I've never heard it put that way . Well said. I need to find this in my life. I don't think I have ever had all three at the same time. It sounds peaceful.
This man is unreal.. I discovered him a week or so ago, but man.. what a revelation! I'm sitting out in beautiful Cape Town my home city at the southern point of Africa! I'm enjoying his accent, wisdom and uniqueness !.. think im sold on him!
I am a man and i grow flowers and a garden. No shame in ny game haha. I am an internet amd gaming guy too. But i love being outside. i love taking walks and listening to the sounds of summer. The birds, the jar flies, the katydids are music to my ears. i always feel when I'm outside i am at my "church". Amen on your message sir, you are on point. 💛
This touched me deeply. I’ve had that mountain top experience!with my daughter,looking down the mountain watching the deer walk by,surrounded by rocks and tall trees. I know God was there because I could feel his touch in the wind. Thank you for the reminder❤️
I am in that boat now. I am in a position that all I do is work. I start work at 8am and don't get done until 10pm. I had a chance last night on my way back from picking up a vehicle by Bend Oregon to stop on the pass and turn off all the lights on my tow truck and saw the Milky Way for the first time in a very long time. It was amazing. I am working to get my personal vehicle running finally. It's looking like not until next year now. Maybe then I can find all 3. Had some serious problems with anger lately. If my fuse was any shorted I'd get mad breathing. Thank you for this. Hope all is well. God Bless.
Absolutely loving your videos buddy. I’m a little surprised they haven’t thrown you off the platform for speaking such truth. Please keep up the great work your inspiration.
I ran across your videos while searching for info on cowboy hats. :) When one of your videos popped up, I listened to what you had to say and I subscribed immediately. I love how down-to-earth you are. Excellent content. Keep up the good work!
I looked at this clip thinking we had nothing in common and I genuinely wanted to hear your perspective. I’m glad I did. This video is a reminder that we are all family and are more connected than we think. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I connected with every single word brother. You are appreciated. Keep sharing your light. God bless you
Thank you sir. As a university student, this message deeply resonated with me. School often teaches us that the only knowledge is book knowledge, but this alone leads to a shallow life. You speak of true knowledge, which leads to a full and enriched life. God bless you and your family❤
If university taught you the truly important things in life, in order, many would realize university are low on the list. That's their fear. So they indoctrinate women to forgo the idea of family & concentrate on school and finances while teaching men to question their identity & pursue a life outside their God given gender. This is the breakdown of the same family structure this gentleman is thanking God for
You know it already, but you are truly blessed Brother! I truly enjoy your videos. But food for thought my friend. My wife of 37 years has dementia, a horrible disease. Still, every night I try to remember to thank God for all the blessings he has given me, starting with the 30+ years I got to spend with her before this happened. Find a reason to thank him every day…and keep up the great work.
This man Dwayne speaks the truth. To my brothers and sisters in Christ, and to those who suspect that something deeper exists but haven’t had their eyes opened, I say hello! I’m just like you, living life and learning! This is my first time commenting, I hope that it adds value and perspective to your lives, I really do! God bless you all, and pray for me as I will do you! It's a long comment, but worth it if it helps even one person! One of our greatest gifts from God given to the Christian, well second to His saving grace is the Christian’s ability to hear truth from others Christians without knowing them personally, the Holy Spirit in one communicates with the Holy Spirit in the other by way of God’s word (the bible) and prayer. This is how I know without meeting Dwayne what he’s getting at with his comments. You cannot know a persons condition without knowing them, but you can know the condition of the Holy Spirit living within them without knowing them personally - it’s nuts and beautiful! This is a tremendous gift because we can immediately spot fake religious misleading teachings from the real deal… John 10:27-28 says “27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” What Dwayne is speaking about so eloquently is often NOT taught in many Churches, especially those that do not have Jesus Christ at the head of it. If you sadly find yourself in one of these I’d ask you to pray, read the word, and then have a discussion with the pastor showing him the video and this comment. Ask for his/her thoughts. If they refuse to listen, try your best to educate, give some time, pray, and try again! if still no luck then I do recommend asking God to lead you to another church family! I am praying hard for you! Now to the point, there’s a distinction taught in the bible between the SPIRIT, SOUL, and BODY which comprise the whole Salvation of Man/Woman. Knowing this will surely open your eyes and support your journey! Two main points follow, 1. What are the 3 offices in the bible? 2.) What does this mean for me? 1. What are the 3 offices in the bible (KEY OF THREE)? The bible depicts God as a triune being who He made us in His image and likeness and it goes without saying that man who is made in His image and likeness must also be a tri-part being as well as mentioned Genesis 1:26-27 “26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. Now look at 1 Thess. 5:23 "May God Himself, the God of peace sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” KEY# 1 of 3 PAST TENSE PHASE OF SALVATION - removes the penalty of sin. [Justification] Spirit [1 of 3 of the tri-part nature of man/woman] Eph. 2:8-9 [salvation. 1 of 3 time periods] Justification [1 of 3 phases of salvation of a believer] Prophet [Christ’s 1 of 3 offices] Jesus [1 of 3 fold title of the Son] Takeaway: Jesus took our punishment! KEY# 2 of 3 PRESENT TENSE PHASE OF SALVATION - removes the power of sin.[Sanctification] the believer is here today, this is the soul being worked on through obedience, repentance, etc. Soul [2 of 3 of the tri-part nature of man/woman] 1 Cor. 1:18 [salvation. 2 of 3 time periods] Sanctification [2 of 3 phases of salvation of a believer] Priest [Christ’s 2 of 3 offices] Lord [2 of 3 fold title of the Son] Takeaway: We are all just a work in progress, all those who acknowledge that Christ is who He says and accept is way! KEY# 3 of 3 FUTURE TENSE PHASE OF SALVATION - removes the presence of sin.[Glorification] Body [3 of 3 of the tri-part nature of man/woman] Heb 1:14 [salvation. 3 of 3 time periods] Glorification [3 of 3 phases of salvation of a believer] King [Christ’s 3 of 3 offices] Christ [3 of 3 fold title of the Son] Takeaway: We haven’t seen anything yet, in the blink of an eye we will be transformed and given a new body, no more pain, no more hurt! 2. What does this mean for me? It means that all have been offered an amazing gift, that once realized allows you to become whole, at peace, even in times of great suffering! Jesus Christ ask the ultimate question in Luke 9:20 “Who do you say that I am?”. Well you can’t ignore the question, every man / women must answer it. And in refusing to answer means you answered it, ignoring its existence doesn’t make it go away. Refusal of Christ means you are opting to be God, to believe what you as a person want. Ultimately you will find that you are trying to be God, but cannot! You see the disaster this causes! Understand and choose wisely, eternity IS at stake, do not choose to be apart from God for eternity! JESUS means salvation i.e. our initial salvation [of our spirit] that was purchased for us on the A cross. He came as a Prophet - [1st time frame] i.e. Justification; You have been justified from everything you have done wrong. Eph. 2...saved by grace! LORD means He is Lord over our lives and we are to submit to His Lordship in obedience for the salvation of the soul. He is now our High Priest for confession of sin- [2nd time frame] i.e Sanctification. CHRIST means "'anointed one" or the one who is anointed to be King over all the earth as King of Kings during His Millennial Reign where our soul [if it is saved] will rule and reign with Him with our new glorified bodies. Jesus will come back as King - [3rd time frame] i.e. Glorification I just like you am learning, making mistakes, and am so thankful that God is working on me and through me. Keep running the race! Fight for it! God bless you all! And Thank you Dwayne for all the great work you are doing!
These are the exact feelings I feel whenever I go on solo hikes… just playing music, enjoying the environment, and letting my mind at ease. Thank you for this video
Commenting from the other side of the world and certainly from a different environment. Very wise words indeed, thank you for the great moment of listening you gave me!
Not even finished watching, but you hit a sharp point with me here. I got kicked out of my church in 2003ish by asking the pastor to explain to me how the Trinity can be Three when there is only One. He could not answer except that the church can not help me for I’m on a different path. Little did he know (or maybe he did) I was indeed on a more spiritual path. You sir, ~20 years later, have just made me whole by sharing this perspective. It’s like I had all the pieces to the puzzle but needed someone to help complete the border; like I did the puzzle backwards. I am son of David 💪 and David is in the name I am known by. May you be blessed for all your years. Liked and subbed, I’ll look through your other stuff tomorrow, going to sit on this for a bit. Thank you sir, from the heart.
The Sun is a good example often used to help us understand the Trinity. God-Father is the Sun, Jesus is the light coming from the Sun and the Holy Spirit is warmth. These three always exist together. Yet it's only one - the Sun. We can't be in direct contact with the Sun, as we will die. Same with God - the Bible says that no human being can be in direct presence of God and stay alive. But we can be in contact with light and warmth - Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Jesus calls Himself the Light, and the Holy Spirit is called the Conforter, so warmth represents Him well, too. It's warmth that we feel in our heart when it is touched by the Holy Spirit. I hope this analogy will help you to understand the Trinity better.
When I heard the song "When I'm With You" by Chris Stapelton it really touched my soul. I also love western paintings. I also go for walks when I can and play my guitar. I hope other people become wise like you.
I had a realization a few months ago of almost exactly what you said. Hearing it come from a well spoken good souled man really is powerful. Im 26 and started getting into collecting antiques and finding nice art pieces I have a small antique lamp collection and they are all works of art. I started playing piano and overall real self improvement. Deleted social media except TH-cam and Snapchat. I even open my bible up way more often. It’s a wacky world in todays society with social pressures, political wars and media nonsense. But he’s spot on in this video.
Me myself an I a body mind an spirit Made in the image of God of no limit Mother nature is the church to visit Body mind and the spirit is the ticket You have spirit don't forget a skillet
I love camping in the outback. Growing up in Australia, the populated cities generally stick to the coasts, since a massive chunk of the continent is just big deserts. But if you find a nice spot, you can start a good campfire with your buddies and fall asleep under the sky full of stars. I haven’t seen that many stars in the sky since I was growing up in New Zealand
Buddy you got yourself another subscriber! You sure have a way with words, and you painted a very satisfying picture when you described that moment where all your boxes were checked. I could picture myself staring up at the stars and being thankful to. Thanks for your words of wisdom...keep doing what you're doing because I think you probably have alot of men that subscribe to your channel because you're like a father figure that most wished they had. Be blessed brother.
Sir, my son Austin came across this video and just sent it to me. You've come across a definite road map to happiness in life. So much that you have said, reflects how I feel about much of my life. You pointed out about your sons. My son Austin means so very much to me and has joined my faith in God. Seeing the man he has become provides me so much fulfillment in my soul. I've spoke to him many times about the same things you have just talked a out. I am truly Blessed and my hat's off to you Sir for sharing this with the hope that others can take a breath and look at life in THIS way. I am now SUBSCRIBED to your channel. GodBless and Godspeed Sir.
I am not whole. I am learning that it takes steps to become whole. Some of these steps involve hard sacrifices, and its tough some nights. Thank you so much for the wisdom. It gives me courage when i need it most.
A lot of masculine wisdom is communicated silently, through action and demonstration, but I really deeply appreciate when a man is frank and honest about what helps him find fulfillment. Thank you sir.
Something this gen of lost Men desperately need. N God bless this Man for his Wisdom.
@@arnoldhernandez1910 well said MR Sloan , I can apréciate good honest masculine man, there believes are not eroded by femenatzy.
Yeah, I’m glad this sort of conversation is becoming more common on the internet, gives me a peace of mind that with all the craziness going on the youth can see how to act right, to quote suda51: “kids are pure, they know who’s strongest”
I was gonna say the exact same thing. I learned good stuff watching my dad. My mom was awful (I'm a young lady) I wish he wouldn't given me more direction and guidance with his words. I really appreciate channels where I can get what I missed from my parents
There are a few words for Peace in Scripture and the connotations, definitions are also connected to Completeness, which is necessary to have the entire concept of Shalom
In Hebraic (and Scriptural) thought. In the Greek the word is G1515 εἰρήνη eirḗnē, i-ray'-nay; probably from a primary verb εἴρω eírō (to join); peace (literally or figuratively); by implication, prosperity:-one, peace, quietness, rest, + set at one again.
To truly be at peace is to be complete.
Shalom H7965 שָׁלוֹם shâlôwm, shaw-lome'; or שָׁלֹם shâlôm; from H7999; safe, i.e. (figuratively) well, happy, friendly; also (abstractly) welfare, i.e. health, prosperity, peace:-× do, familiar, × fare, favour, friend, × great, (good) health, (× perfect, such as be at) peace(-able, -ably), prosper(-ity, -ous), rest, safe(-ty), salute, welfare, (× all is, be) well, × wholly.
My friends, be at Shalam H7999 שָׁלַם shâlam, shaw-lam'; a primitive root; to be safe (in mind, body or estate); figuratively, to be (causatively, make) completed; by implication, to be friendly; by extension, to reciprocate (in various applications):-make amends, (make an) end, finish, full, give again, make good, (re-) pay (again), (make) (to) (be at) peace(-able), that is perfect, perform, (make) prosper(-ous), recompense, render, requite, make restitution, restore, reward, × surely.
Shalam, Shalom Aleichem, Aleinu,
May It Rest Upon And Within You, And May We All Be Encompassed By It.
In The Name Of The Messiah YaHUsHa יהושע of Nazareth, I pray yes, and Amên אמן. Love, Peace, And Elbow Grease Y'all!
This channel randomly started showing up on my feed. I'm not into country music or cigars or dressing like a cowboy or anything... But damn... I've seen several videos of this guy, and I very much do enjoy what he has to say. They hit the heart and soul and they are just uplifting and positive. THIS is more of what the world needs. Good values. Respect. Much respect to this guy- truly.
It happened the same to me
Same here. This man's video just showed up on my feed, and i love listening to him. Btw, i do love cigars. Thank you sir for your kind spirit, and your wisdom! The world needs more people like you. Bless you abundantly.
Same. I ignored them at first but watched the full 30 min conversation with his wife on their marriage. Audio was horrible but I couldn't stop listening. Sent it to the wife and we found it refreshing. Good to know our marriage experience/PoV is similar.
Same here. I’m not religious and I don’t agree with everything he has to say but he definitely has some wisdom to share
@@Reaper-su2ov I agree. I am religious, but I also don't agree with everything he has to say.
However, if you can even find one nugget of wisdom that you can use, it's well worth it. Even when I don't agree with him, he's entertaining and he makes me think.
"I'm not gonna preach-" *proceeds to give one of the best sermons I've ever heard*
@Andrew this is teaching. Slight difference but, I agree he does it well!
@@claytonatkinson865 Still a good lesson
I thought the same thing, 100% agree
😂 truth
I'd go to church if this is what they preaching was
I’m a software engineer, writing code in the office all day, but my true passion is playing guitar. It just resets me. I love the natural world. The ocean. Animals. I’ll never be able to fully comprehend the amount of beauty in this world. Music.
Plumber here and I feel the same man.
You should record it a little bit, if you like and put it up on your TH-cam. Music is like free therapy :)
Can't find a fault in that bro. 😕
I want to become a software engineer currently a welder & want to change careers any advice or can you pm me thanks man
@Geo HTX I'm not really an engineer since I don't have an engineering degree. But I am a software developer. There are two routes you can take. One is going for a degree through college. This route takes about 3 years. It takes time and it's kinda expensive.
The other route is self-education. This means looking up what is being taught in college, opening TH-cam or Udemy or whatever, and watching courses. Most college courses you'd take you can find on the internet. Heck MIT has a whole semester of math and computer science on their TH-cam channel. This route of course takes dedication. You wanna make sure the lectures and courses you're watching are good and have credible information.
Now, of course, the latter option won't get you a degree or anything, but in the high-tech world, it's less about degrees and more about the experience you gain in learning. That's why it's good to work on projects while learning. Whether if private, or contributing to an open source. Can increase your resume, and help you learn a bit faster and better.
If you want some resources for self-teaching, here are some:
Udemy - look for a course in whatever field that has the most students and the highest review rate.
Tech with Tim - a channel on TH-cam of a pretty cool guy. Teaches just about anything related to programming.
MIT on YT - MIT TH-cam channel has a few courses for math, data structures, and computer science in general.
Professor Leonard - A TH-cam channel of a cool math professor.
Glad to know that there is a man left on planet Earth who still lives a man’s life.
I had a walk yesterday with my 2 year old granddaughter. She held my hand. We talked about the crickets that we heard thrumming in the woods. We looked for the moon in a cloudy sky, and picked up sticks and a few pieces of straw along the way. I carried her on part of the return trip and she tugged on the leaves of some low-hanging tree limbs. I was completely filled up in the manner that you describe.
real men : live in Sheetrock Cubes and get "Outfitted" to do their thing. *probablynot
cap
“A man who still lives a man’s life” is probably my only goal in life I’m 18 and have tons of work to go to be that person but who the hell doesn’t at 18
The only thing that makes you a REAL man is respecting Christ. Wearing a cowboy hat while flicking a cigar doesn't help masculinity any more than wearing Quicksilver trunks and drinking lemonade.
Me too but where do I find them? They're in hiding.
This was beautiful. I feel people think success is lots of money, nice cars, fame, etc. and all that stuff can be a part of the success, but I truly believe a successful person is someone who has become truly happy in life. No matter if you are a school teacher or a billionaire, if you become truly happy in life, you have become successful.
Thanks son, for being ready and able to give an answer for the hope that is in you. Dad
Thank you, Dad
Wow. That's awesome. Blessings on you both.
This man’s video is redeeming TH-cam. The value here is like the value of 100 other TH-cam videos which are trash. Thank you sir. God bless you.
I love these cigar chats. I smoke while I watch them and makes me feel like I'm right there with you. Wisdom for days.
You make a person really think about things. I know what you speak of. I understand what you are saying.
Haha me too
Oh yeah cancer
@@IntrovertedLoLo Cigars don’t actually give that cancer, predominantly because you don’t inhale it into your lungs. They’re not cigs, things you huff down for an addiction; they’re a leisurely thing that you enjoy with time.
😂😂🙌
That was actually one of the most beautiful and grounded talks I've ever experienced. Such a humble man that just about anyone with half a brain can resonate with. May God bless you, sir.
As a non-religious man myself, you make me feel exceptionally comfortable and like I am still deserving to hear what you have to say. You continue to give me perspective on how I can lead a better life, and be a better man. Take care & thank you!
i dont think of it has religion its a way of life i dont like the word religion makes it seem fake and ran by rules. it should be out of love and thankfulness.
It has zero to do with religion. It’s your deep spiritual connection with almighty God. It took me a long time to figure that one out as I was raised Baptist. 🙏🇺🇸
I think it's spiritual connection to something bigger than yourself. God is a very western concept. As a Hawaiian, we are polytheistic, meaning everything is divine., the rocks, the trees, the stars, even us etc. It's the recognition that we are all part of the divine. Its when we separate ourselves from that universal order that we are incomplete, lost, disconnected. All traditional tribal cultures knew this. They lived very harmonious with nature because being in nature demanded that your physical, spiritual and soul all be present in order to navigate it properly.
@@Dlindo8892 What are you talking about... religion and "God" are concepts tightly connected to each other. I think you just found a good way to live with yourself, but rather than accepting it and rolling with it, you still feel the need to stick to that "God" thing.
Its not a religion its a relationship with our creator. Big big difference
This man is uniting us… so many from all walks of life being nourished here, by one person being authentic. 🙏🏼💛✨
You're very comforting. My mom passed when I was 8 and my dad eventually allowed my narc stepmom to push me out of the family. The holidays are hard. You're like an online uncle ❤️
❤Hey DEWAYNE NOEL! Just listened to this one a second time and heard things I didn't hear the first time. Liked it very much. KATIE ❣️ KENTUCKY😊!
What a great word man. I'm sitting out on the patio with my 2 dogs. It's almost 3 am. I just looked up at the stars like I do sometimes & said to God. I don't get man. What am I doing here. I do have a blessed life, I also have 7 children & a wife. 4 daughters & 3 sons. I have definitely become unbalanced. I sat down and listened to this message. It was probably God having a little conversation w me. Very cool. Have a wonderful day.
Thank you, brother. I always find your talks helpful, even as a woman.
I do not know why youtube recommend me this and I am GRATUFL. As men, we need elders who can put good words and direction in our life. So thankful for this.
Great video Duane.
You have been blessed.
I fell in love with the Salmon River area about 4 years ago. I went to look at buying a chunk of land. I am starting over. I want to get out of Washington state in a bad way. I grew up here on a farm and it has changed so much.
While my Mom is still alive I will stay here.
I want to do some horse riding there but haven't gotten a chance yet. When I do I may get a hold of your sons outfit. Thanks
I've stumbled across this channel, I'm so glad I have! As a combat veteran it's hard to find perspective, hard to seek help and at times hard to take advice. I'm glad I've "listened" to your channel...I appreciate your candor and honesty and down to earth vital advice....
I've been in a weird way as of late..and listening to your channel has been an "aha" moment! God bless you and yours sir! Thank you so much for your channel and what you do!
Manly P. Hall and Anthony De Mello are well worth checking out as well. Thank you for your Service.
thank you🫶🏻
i mean it dearly
The timing of your video couldn’t have been better. I’ve been haunted by a question posed in a sermon I heard this week, “ do you enjoy, sincerely enjoy the life God has given you?” Dewayne has hit the nail on the head. God has given us the way and the means to “ have life and to have it more abundantly “, and to have joy in God Himself. Anything apart from that will be unbalanced as Dewayne said. Thanks Dewayne, God bless you!
Same here, I’ve been going through Ecclesiastes and it’s like someone put a magnifying glass right over me
No, I tried to enjoyand love God but always something get back to depressing and nihilism.
@@josephang9927 Ill pray for you Joseph. I know life can be tough (a lot of times, too much it seems) but know that God loves us all. He suffered the same pains we do so that we can be pain- free one day. Try to look for the beauty and look for God, just because the devil is here too doesnt mean Gods message need be lost. He loves us, he tests us too, look at these troubles as tests and you as a soldier of God. Keep pushing forward brother, we got this🙏🏻
God also gives babies cancer
You are life, and nothing is apart from God.
I had the pleasure of bearing witness to the granjure of The Grand Canyon. All of it was truly awe inspiring but when I got to a certain overlook near the Buzzards Roost i believe, The walls of the canyon floor opened up and there was a canyon inside a canyon and i was stopped on my tracks like something hit me in my chest...i forgot how to breathe...it felt down in my Soul that i had finally returned to a place i had long forgot and the Earth was welcoming me Home. I was Home. And the next rhing i know i was crying tears of joy and happiness at the profound beauty of that place. Im crying now as i recount it. I was weak kneed and had to hold onto the rail to stand up. It was the mosr beautiful thing ive ever seen and it awakened something in my Soul.
Hi Dwayne, I just wanted to let you know that it's actually *August 5th*
😊 You may want to double check/adjust the date on your watch, so you don't get any of your appointments mixed up.
Hi Dewayne thank you for your program .I'm from South africa and always wear boots and have a stetson .beside that I'm always told You are not a Cowboy .so what in my heart I am . Thanks again for all your advise .I'm 64 years old and I learn so much from your videos. You are an inspiration in my life . These are tough but when I look at your videos I feel alive again . Thanks again for you and Mamma .Danie Scholtz South Africa.
Thanks, Dewayne. Here’s my contribution.
There is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is rapture in the lonely shore, there is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar; I love not Man the less, but Nature more.
- Lord Byron
I was encouraged to read Byron by my HS English teacher. I assume she’s long gone now. I wasn’t an easy student for her, but she cared, and it showed. God Bless her.
I became a Forest Ranger
Greetings,
I'm a newly married black man in my 20's who enjoys lighting up a cigar and listening to the knowledge, wisdom, and understanding God has graced you with. Through him you're bringing worlds together with understanding. Thank you for taking the time out to make these videos, it's bringing balance to my life.
I wish you a happy marriage, man. God bless you
I don’t much about horses at all.
It’s interesting, but I’m listening to Dwayne’s message on life.
I appreciate you 👍🏻
I cannot believe that I stumbled upon your channel. This fed my soul. Thank you so much. It felt like you were talking straight to me.
I started watching you, Dwayne, for the horse info, but you sure have taken it up a few notches with these talks. Thanks.....
I absolutely enjoy listening to you while doing random stuff around the house, grocery shopping or even working on my laptop.
Support from Morocco!
🇺🇸🇵🇪🇵🇷😎 Thanks for reminding me that I'm 75 and that my life hasn't been a waste 💖,thanks again!!
Often times when I’m with my family, I feel the “soul filling” feeling you mentioned.
I actually listened this start to finish. Really good stuff. This guy has 7 kids! What an accomplishment.
Sir my father passed some time ago. A lot of your words is the same as my father. Thank you so much for your kind words and wisdom.
I so need this in my life...even if just on the weekends as a novice ranch hand or day laborer. Sometimes I feel like a caged lion spending my weekends sitting around . I'm a Carpenter by trade and a bodybuilder by hobby but I feel I need something of this nature to make me whole...
God bless you my friend. I’ve only just recently been led to you, but you’ve changed my life. We all need redirecting back to what’s truly important, so thank you and blessings to you and your family.
The grace of appreciation. Thank you, DeWayne.
Not sure how I stumbled upon your video but has a father of a 5 year old boy and 2 year old girl along with a beautiful wife, I'm glad I did sir.
I absolutely love your channel. It settles me. I now start my day with your videos to center me even though i can't afford horses or go to wrangler school. Thank you for your material.
Thank you, for being real, speak to the heart.❤
God Bless You, Your Family and Business.🙏🏽💞
I’m in the middle of a cabin build as a means of doing physical work. I have bone on bone in my right heel joint that is painful 24 x 7. I’m over 55. I wake up most mornings without the ability to put weight on my foot. I spend time with the Trinity each morning. I’m so imperfect, but I know I’m improving. There is something about getting yourself balanced that is deeply satisfying. I sleep tonight with gravel and dirt embedded in my knees…it’s the stuff soap won’t touch. Blessings brother. We all love you.
Your wisdom reminds me so much of my dad. I'm heading home now for Thanksgiving and I just can't wait to hug that man. Thank you for your amazing words
Thank GOD for the "tough times that we are currently living in so that we may see more clearly the light of GOD"
Amen brother
Amén
Thank you Sir. This was a good talk and so right.
Thank you! I have been in balance and done everything I can to stay there. It's not easy, but, that's what makes it all worthwhile. I am a wanderer, a writer of poetry, and a visual artist. I stand my ground and praise God for the life he has blessed me with. Thank you again!
I am a 55 year old man and Dwayne’s videos and advice have helped me a lot. One of his videos answered a question about life that I had carried with me unanswered of years and he answered it. God bless this man.
I believe that will PREACH Brother!! Carry on.
Thank you - this video was confirmation that I need to get back on track and set a solid plan to move out of California. I lived in rural Colorado from 2007-2011 and it was the best time of my life. I miss that country lifestyle. I was surrounded by amazing people, we were all friends. I have no friends here in CA. My family has pulled me in so many directions with a career and college I feel drained and depleted. I want to sit outside on a patio until midnight smoking cigars like you and your wife. I hope I can make back there in time before it’s too late. Thanks.
Glad to hear that you are enjoy our wonderful Idaho. I used to herd cattle on the range near the lodge and know how beautiful that country up there is. Now live in close to your son.
Love listening to this man when I’m feeling down. He’s the kick in the ass that I need sometimes.
Great wisdom! Thank you for bringing it all into focus for us. Glad you got away. I treasure those pack trips. Gonna do one soon with my kids.
I’m glad to finally have this feeling put into words and explained. Recently I’ve been feeling that emptiness, like there’s nothing for me to do, nothing to achieve. And I think it’s because I was neglecting my body too much. I never really cared about my physical self, I always just thought it was more of a “vessel,” that didn’t matter, especially since I’m gonna die some day anyways. But now that I hear this, I understand why I feel so much better whenever I go camping, or work on cars, or just go outside for a walk. This video genuinely helped me and really made me reflect and think. Thank you, genuinely.
Wow, bless you for recognizing the moment and sharing with others. I've been there too my friend.
I'm so grateful I found your channel. I'm watching your videos and you have the wisdom of Solomon which is a rare gift these days. Thank you for sharing the blessing of your wisdom. Take care and God bless you and your household 🙏
Thanks brother. You touched my heart. As I lay down to sleep tonight, I shall review Psalms with a new open mind. I needed that. My heart is broken and heavy. I have a window always open to the beauty of his magnificence. I know that HE is there. And I know that is the glory of His creation. Consider me to be a follower. Ps. I like the small cigars.
I thank Almighty God I found your chanel. Your videos are saving me bit by bit. Much love from South Africa❤
I've really come to appreciate these talks, I came for the horsemanship and tutorials but I stayed for the chats. I sit and paint while listening to these videos and find it gives me a great deal to chew on as I work. Thank you.
Dewayne, been listening to a numbers of your "spiels" (Yiddish for "talks"), enjoying every minute! It's encouraging to hear someone discourse on being self-reliant, developing their own opinions, standing firm in the face of adversity, being respectful of others' "territories" and ways of life, valuing physical labor and the work we are placed to do; even from an East Coast city slicker it all resonates! Honesty facing our own self is the key to having honest relations with others, thank you also for bringing up what might be some uncomfortable topics for some. You are welcome to have your say, I don't think anyone should begrudge you that although they in the end they may chooser to differ. I think you've become a source of common-sense information for many and we are all the richer for it. Peace and blessing, be well.
One of the very best videos you've posted! Thank you!
Clicked the buttons, you have a follower Sir. Not a sheep but a warrior at your side. Humble yet valiant. 😊
What a special message. Thank you. God is sooo good.
This guy's channel fills some of the void I've felt since my Grandfather died. I forgot how much I missed him, until I started watching him.
I love these kinds of videos. I was raised in the city all my life. I have dreams of someday moving to the farm area. Even if it's just one acre. I'm thankful I have an opportunity to be able to do a lot of those things you mentioned in this video. I saw my seeds in my little backyard garden, I work on my car, I do landscape witch is my full time job and I take a walk through nature. I'm blessed to be able to take trail walks once a week in a place called Lodi Lake located 10 minutes away from where I stay. As for giving thanks for everything in my life I try and do that everyday.
Thank you. Those moments of feeling completely integrated are rare and very special . I found myself in the Arctic and in volunteering in Latin America. Those experiences changed my life forever.❤❤🙂🪶🪶
Just found this guy... he is awesome! Keep up the great work my friend!
Really spoke to me! Thank you for another excellent video
Thank you so much for all the stories all the wisdom and knowledge your providing not just to the WORLD but to us MEN
I've never heard it put that way . Well said. I need to find this in my life. I don't think I have ever had all three at the same time. It sounds peaceful.
This man is unreal.. I discovered him a week or so ago, but man.. what a revelation! I'm sitting out in beautiful Cape Town my home city at the southern point of Africa! I'm enjoying his accent, wisdom and uniqueness !.. think im sold on him!
I am a man and i grow flowers and a garden. No shame in ny game haha. I am an internet amd gaming guy too. But i love being outside. i love taking walks and listening to the sounds of summer. The birds, the jar flies, the katydids are music to my ears. i always feel when I'm outside i am at my "church". Amen on your message sir, you are on point. 💛
This touched me deeply. I’ve had that mountain top experience!with my daughter,looking down the mountain watching the deer walk by,surrounded by rocks and tall trees. I know God was there because I could feel his touch in the wind. Thank you for the reminder❤️
That’s so funny you brought up Wally!! I’ve been saying that’s the way America has been going for the last 7 years at least!!!
Beautifully and simply spoken. Hard hands, open heart. 👍
Amazing! Thank you for sharing this. You made me reconsider what is important in life. Please keep talking about God.
Dwyn you hit the nail on the head with this one Sir. Thank you for sharing your inner Trinity.
Well said sir. God bless in the most wholesome of meanings, intents and ways.
I am in that boat now. I am in a position that all I do is work. I start work at 8am and don't get done until 10pm. I had a chance last night on my way back from picking up a vehicle by Bend Oregon to stop on the pass and turn off all the lights on my tow truck and saw the Milky Way for the first time in a very long time. It was amazing. I am working to get my personal vehicle running finally. It's looking like not until next year now. Maybe then I can find all 3. Had some serious problems with anger lately. If my fuse was any shorted I'd get mad breathing. Thank you for this. Hope all is well. God Bless.
Absolutely loving your videos buddy. I’m a little surprised they haven’t thrown you off the platform for speaking such truth. Please keep up the great work your inspiration.
I ran across your videos while searching for info on cowboy hats. :) When one of your videos popped up, I listened to what you had to say and I subscribed immediately. I love how down-to-earth you are. Excellent content. Keep up the good work!
I looked at this clip thinking we had nothing in common and I genuinely wanted to hear your perspective. I’m glad I did. This video is a reminder that we are all family and are more connected than we think. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I connected with every single word brother. You are appreciated. Keep sharing your light. God bless you
Great words of wisdom. God bless you and your family good sir. 🙏❤️
I love watching your videos. I look forward to seeing them. Thank you for the wonderful message. You are truly blessed. Thank you for the great words.
Dwayne is an amazingly genuine, wise, and overly humble man. He's what the western world is missing and needs more of. Thanks again
Thank you sir. As a university student, this message deeply resonated with me. School often teaches us that the only knowledge is book knowledge, but this alone leads to a shallow life. You speak of true knowledge, which leads to a full and enriched life. God bless you and your family❤
If university taught you the truly important things in life, in order, many would realize university are low on the list. That's their fear. So they indoctrinate women to forgo the idea of family & concentrate on school and finances while teaching men to question their identity & pursue a life outside their God given gender. This is the breakdown of the same family structure this gentleman is thanking God for
Thank you for this video! I am a 22 years old man, and I really needed to listen this.
You know it already, but you are truly blessed Brother! I truly enjoy your videos.
But food for thought my friend. My wife of 37 years has dementia, a horrible disease. Still, every night I try to remember to thank God for all the blessings he has given me, starting with the 30+ years I got to spend with her before this happened. Find a reason to thank him every day…and keep up the great work.
This man Dwayne speaks the truth. To my brothers and sisters in Christ, and to those who suspect that something deeper exists but haven’t had their eyes opened, I say hello!
I’m just like you, living life and learning! This is my first time commenting, I hope that it adds value and perspective to your lives, I really do! God bless you all, and pray for me as I will do you! It's a long comment, but worth it if it helps even one person!
One of our greatest gifts from God given to the Christian, well second to His saving grace is the Christian’s ability to hear truth from others Christians without knowing them personally, the Holy Spirit in one communicates with the Holy Spirit in the other by way of God’s word (the bible) and prayer. This is how I know without meeting Dwayne what he’s getting at with his comments. You cannot know a persons condition without knowing them, but you can know the condition of the Holy Spirit living within them without knowing them personally - it’s nuts and beautiful! This is a tremendous gift because we can immediately spot fake religious misleading teachings from the real deal… John 10:27-28 says “27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.”
What Dwayne is speaking about so eloquently is often NOT taught in many Churches, especially those that do not have Jesus Christ at the head of it. If you sadly find yourself in one of these I’d ask you to pray, read the word, and then have a discussion with the pastor showing him the video and this comment. Ask for his/her thoughts. If they refuse to listen, try your best to educate, give some time, pray, and try again! if still no luck then I do recommend asking God to lead you to another church family! I am praying hard for you!
Now to the point, there’s a distinction taught in the bible between the SPIRIT, SOUL, and BODY which comprise the whole Salvation of Man/Woman. Knowing this will surely open your eyes and support your journey! Two main points follow, 1. What are the 3 offices in the bible? 2.) What does this mean for me?
1. What are the 3 offices in the bible (KEY OF THREE)?
The bible depicts God as a triune being who He made us in His image and likeness and it goes without saying that man who is made in His image and likeness must also be a tri-part being as well as mentioned Genesis 1:26-27 “26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. Now look at 1 Thess. 5:23 "May God Himself, the God of peace sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Takeaway: We haven’t seen anything yet, in the blink of an eye we will be transformed and given a new body, no more pain, no more hurt!
2. What does this mean for me? It means that all have been offered an amazing gift, that once realized allows you to become whole, at peace, even in times of great suffering! Jesus Christ ask the ultimate question in Luke 9:20 “Who do you say that I am?”. Well you can’t ignore the question, every man / women must answer it. And in refusing to answer means you answered it, ignoring its existence doesn’t make it go away. Refusal of Christ means you are opting to be God, to believe what you as a person want. Ultimately you will find that you are trying to be God, but cannot! You see the disaster this causes! Understand and choose wisely, eternity IS at stake, do not choose to be apart from God for eternity!
JESUS means salvation i.e. our initial salvation [of our spirit] that was purchased for us on the
A cross. He came as a Prophet - [1st time frame] i.e. Justification; You have been justified from
everything you have done wrong. Eph. 2...saved by grace!
LORD means He is Lord over our lives and we are to submit to His Lordship in obedience for
the salvation of the soul. He is now our High Priest for confession of sin- [2nd time frame] i.e
Sanctification.
CHRIST means "'anointed one" or the one who is anointed to be King over all the earth as King
of Kings during His Millennial Reign where our soul [if it is saved] will rule and reign with Him
with our new glorified bodies. Jesus will come back as King - [3rd time frame] i.e. Glorification
I just like you am learning, making mistakes, and am so thankful that God is working on me and through me. Keep running the race! Fight for it!
God bless you all! And Thank you Dwayne for all the great work you are doing!
Glory to God, we got the one thumbs up. Love it, and love you all.
These are the exact feelings I feel whenever I go on solo hikes… just playing music, enjoying the environment, and letting my mind at ease. Thank you for this video
Same ! Issue for me now is having these feelings when I work, for now I'm lost in what to do.
Thanks Dwayne, I'm not a religious man but I'm starting to see the beauty in uncorrupted faith, not just that but see the beauty in myself. Thank you
Man I was smiling throughout this whole video. 21 year old man in Texas rn and really made me look at myself a lot more. You earned a subscriber
If I didn’t know any better. I’d say I’m listening and watching my music hero. Don Williams.
Stay blessed bloke.
Love from Sydney Australia.
This guy is better than Tate
Commenting from the other side of the world and certainly from a different environment.
Very wise words indeed, thank you for the great moment of listening you gave me!
Not even finished watching, but you hit a sharp point with me here. I got kicked out of my church in 2003ish by asking the pastor to explain to me how the Trinity can be Three when there is only One. He could not answer except that the church can not help me for I’m on a different path. Little did he know (or maybe he did) I was indeed on a more spiritual path. You sir, ~20 years later, have just made me whole by sharing this perspective. It’s like I had all the pieces to the puzzle but needed someone to help complete the border; like I did the puzzle backwards. I am son of David 💪 and David is in the name I am known by. May you be blessed for all your years. Liked and subbed, I’ll look through your other stuff tomorrow, going to sit on this for a bit. Thank you sir, from the heart.
In stead of waiting 20 years you cóuld find an answer yourself. I mean, there is oh so much information to find on the internet....
The Sun is a good example often used to help us understand the Trinity. God-Father is the Sun, Jesus is the light coming from the Sun and the Holy Spirit is warmth. These three always exist together. Yet it's only one - the Sun. We can't be in direct contact with the Sun, as we will die. Same with God - the Bible says that no human being can be in direct presence of God and stay alive. But we can be in contact with light and warmth - Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Jesus calls Himself the Light, and the Holy Spirit is called the Conforter, so warmth represents Him well, too. It's warmth that we feel in our heart when it is touched by the Holy Spirit. I hope this analogy will help you to understand the Trinity better.
When I heard the song "When I'm With You" by Chris Stapelton it really touched my soul. I also love western paintings. I also go for walks when I can and play my guitar. I hope other people become wise like you.
I had a realization a few months ago of almost exactly what you said. Hearing it come from a well spoken good souled man really is powerful. Im 26 and started getting into collecting antiques and finding nice art pieces I have a small antique lamp collection and they are all works of art. I started playing piano and overall real self improvement. Deleted social media except TH-cam and Snapchat. I even open my bible up way more often. It’s a wacky world in todays society with social pressures, political wars and media nonsense. But he’s spot on in this video.
I’ve been living on Snapchat and TH-cam for about 5 years now, TH-cam shorts has now ruined TH-cam as it is addictive
delete Snapchat.

I love camping in the outback. Growing up in Australia, the populated cities generally stick to the coasts, since a massive chunk of the continent is just big deserts. But if you find a nice spot, you can start a good campfire with your buddies and fall asleep under the sky full of stars.
I haven’t seen that many stars in the sky since I was growing up in New Zealand
Buddy you got yourself another subscriber! You sure have a way with words, and you painted a very satisfying picture when you described that moment where all your boxes were checked. I could picture myself staring up at the stars and being thankful to. Thanks for your words of wisdom...keep doing what you're doing because I think you probably have alot of men that subscribe to your channel because you're like a father figure that most wished they had. Be blessed brother.
Not sure how I stumbled across this channel but boy I’m glad I did. We’re all hungry for realism and this gentlemen brings it. Thank u Sir.
Sir, my son Austin came across this video and just sent it to me. You've come across a definite road map to happiness in life. So much that you have said, reflects how I feel about much of my life. You pointed out about your sons. My son Austin means so very much to me and has joined my faith in God. Seeing the man he has become provides me so much fulfillment in my soul. I've spoke to him many times about the same things you have just talked a out. I am truly Blessed and my hat's off to you Sir for sharing this with the hope that others can take a breath and look at life in THIS way. I am now SUBSCRIBED to your channel. GodBless and Godspeed Sir.
I am not whole. I am learning that it takes steps to become whole. Some of these steps involve hard sacrifices, and its tough some nights.
Thank you so much for the wisdom. It gives me courage when i need it most.
