@@brandonsterlingon6130 Lust is certainly not needed. That is why it is listed as one of the 7 deadly sins. It leads so many to destruction. Perhaps you mean Attraction. You can have attraction to someone with out lusting after them.
@@lewishowes....what stood out for me was how DeVon stressed being transparent, honest and vulnerable.And being fully engaged with what your partner's life , not always the upside.
I've been saying to ladies, how soon do you give your ATM password to your guy? Many save never, then I reply then why would you give that same guy access to your body? Surely it's more valuable than what you have at the bank!
This is my main problem in dating. I think it’s time to stop believing there’s someone out there for me. I even now try not be be sexy, most of the time I wear jeans and a covered up top but my “aesthetic automatically puts me into the “young asian school girl” fantasy. which ends up me being single after the 2 months when they decide to move on to their next fantasy checklist.
That may be true that men look at a woman as sexual object. But thats up to you to turn the table around. Just tell him, that u are not a sexual object.
Let's thank our brothers for this candid talk. But as it relates to women using our powers, do u know what those r to even use them.. women we got to cultivate that women to have a better world...seriously! Why? We will save ourselves, our children and indeed the world from alot of pain and trauma
We go in so fast because of our biological clocks or whatever we want in a relationship until we don't even take the time to process to see if we will like him after the first, second, third, fourth or fifth date - he definitely doesn't deserve to know my future plans if he is not willing to date me properly.
Women forget sometimes that they have their own thoughts and those thoughts matter more than having some worthless male partner in their life. It’s good to share your life and to enter into love but not at the expense of your thought life, of your personality, your values and your emotional health.
"A woman cannot do a man's work for him. (...) When you're dealing with a man who is not willing to do his work, who is not willing to lead and love, not even open to what you're trying to do to bring love out of him, the biggest thing you can do is leave. Why? Because the pain of your absence is sometimes the only thing that can convince him to change." As a woman on a journey to understand myself better and understand the mistakes I've made in past relationships, I think it's great that men are sharing their perspective and their struggles. Seeing yourself as intrinsically whole and 'enough', love versus lust, how to know if a man values you as an individual and how to connect with him on a deeper level - very insightful interview!
ariellecat This is not about blame. This is about seeing and acknowledging disruptive behaviors in society to begin doing the things that will stop those things in their tracks.
As women, we must stop blaming men for all of our decisions - we must step back and take a critical and honest look at the choices that we make and stop giving all of our power over to men. Yes some men are completely jacked up in their thinking; however, through our experiences as women - it is no longer a man's fault if we keep choosing the same person with a different name hoping that he would be better and we have not actually done our work as it relates to choosing these guys. This book incorporates tools for women to also know what and what not to do and if you are a woman who doesn't want pure intimacy from a relationship then do whatever you want; however, for those who want more this book will help you to answer those important questions as to why you keep choosing the same type of men and blaming them from not being mature enough to be with you when in fact we are constantly choosing them.
Denise Clarke I don’t think we’re choosing these men. I think we’re not telling them to take a hike when they show us that they think garbage thoughts and they don’t value us. We buy into social myths and lies that pressure us to date down if we don’t want to be single for a decade. We buy into men’s manipulations that make us feel like we can somehow help them do the work that only they can do on themselves. We learn to be too endearing and to give men far too much credit because we need and want their love. But let’s get one thing straight: even with all that said, if someone comes into our life and hurts us they are responsible for the damage they cause. Part of letting men off the hook is taking full responsibility for the chaos and calamity their immaturity and lack of self control causes, simply by saying “you chose him.” Let’s encourage one another to develop quality standards yes, but let’s also help each other to call men out for their stuff boldly and unashamed.
"Humanize her in your mind".. That part right there!! I learned that a while back, and it's so true. It makes you feel compassion for the other person and their position. This is a relationship, we're not enemies. So why should we behave like such?
Yes I totally agree with you Everyone can benefit from the talk But I think all men especially young men need to hear and absorb this man’s really truthful and helpful advice Then I believe a lot of people would be a lot happier and in better places All his talk is beneficial God bless him and us From Toronto Ontario Canada 💕
Love. Love. Love. Absolutely loved every minute of this! DeVon and Lewis together is such an amazing connection as they provide so much wisdom and nourishment to the people. Thank you so much DeVon for taking time to come and have this conversation about healing men and thank you so much Lewis for using your gifts and talents to make the world a healthier and happier place. Thank you both for leading the way into a healthier more fulfilled future for men and women all around the world.
Because of your show I'm here. Watching and learning from this show by way of Stefan and you guys course. I've noticed that both you show and this show, talked a lot about men and healing but I have to say through your show and now evolving and seeking healing from other shows I and healing learning to heal. I am at peace I've never been at peace before I'm 39 and I'm just learning to heal and it is the most incredible feeling and I have you guys to thank for that I thank you guys so much.
1:49 “People are struggling in relationships”. -- NO, people are struggling with THEMSELVES! Unstable, unhappy people make things difficult. People with no inner peace make things difficult. People with unresolved childhood trauma make things difficult. People who are the opposite shouldn’t even continue to date someone or get into a relationship after seeing the first few red flags. Cut them off and move on. Simple fix.
OUCH! Everyone has some issues, most just mass them and suppressed them. Some are living in denial, fear, and faked! Being in an open honest relationship and honest communication helps, but respect and love change the course of making it difficult! 💝
Thank you you said it right, this is what ive been saying to some people around me. My job is not to fix you but being a helpmate as a woman. I am not the cause of your trauma.
-"A man that discards a relationship, just because a woman doesn't want to give her body...". That's a red flag regarding the man. -"A woman who has chosen to wait; a sign of great woman." Great interview. Thank you for who you are Devon and sharing the truth. I pray and hope this message reaches many more of us.
My three things: no one else can make you happy but yourself, you can validate yourself in every moment so you never need anyone else’s validation and Jesus Christ is love.
What a sensible man! What a truthful man, where did he learn this wisdom, knowledge and understanding from? Everyman from / on this planet should listen and learn and this world will be a better place.
1 Corinthians 13 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.8 Love never fails. But where there are
1 Timothy Chapter 2 11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression
its great to read the Bible after I read the Bible as a men I was set up my self not to have sex before marriage I got married I wait my self for 6 years the first 3 years I was reading the Bible and I was not seek any woman then the 3 years I was making friends woman friends also I start to think that cheating is some about me not about others I mean if I am in relationship I don’t put my self cheating my wife I say my I won’t cheat my self that help me to hold my sexual feeling as a men I was struggling on dream and some my sexuality was high I want to go and have sex but I said to my self I want cheating my self some how I was successful controlling my self then I was asking woman I am interring on in the but I tell them of you want to be my wife in good way some how 2 woman said no but we are still best friend the good news is some how I met good woman I was so good friend with her I was thinking how to tell her but some how and she said Do you love me lol I said yes so we are 2 years in our relationship and we are best friend we work out our different some time we disagree but we honest our self in God willing we are set to get married in 2 years so as men prepare your self to be good men and practice how to be good housebound,,, we go to church we are so good friends that’s good life brothers
@Heartofa Warrior As it states woman shouldn't teach the scriptures but learn from their husbands because you don't know what your talking about. Men didn't say that the most high did for a reason.
@@adrianshaw4639 We can read, so we know you started in the middle of the chapter... It refers to PUBLIC TEACHING IN THE ASSEMBLY OF THE CHURCH, not everyday life and everyday situations. God does not take kindly when people twist His Word to manipulate others, Mr. Shaw. You have been both called out and warned.
DeVon Franklin has an honesty about his life which makes one think about his/her trueness. I like how he speaks about his experiences as a constant work in process and that he encourages a woman to not sub standard herself but to give her man that availability to grow and if he’s not willing to reflect and mature, well then move on. I like too how he expressed his openness to communication with groups but was so sincere that within the softness and tenderness of the quiet moments that’s where his communication skills were challenged. Love!!! Love Will, Love Works, Love Wins!!!
Lust is built in us. Love is a decision. You can see there's a tug of war. The holy spirit is our helper To overcome the flesh. Knowledge, Holy Ghost, and decision.
34.45 "I just can't allow where I want to be to disrupt where I am now" one of the many gems of this video. Thank you both for sharing such a beautiful moment with us
@@sihintas5336 Well in God's economy there is nothing too hard for him!!. God will provide a good man for me because I will not compromise myself for men that will never be satisfied with one woman!!. As a medical person many woman compromise themselves for these men and end up with multiple incurable diseases and these men are no where to be found!! You have to love yourself more than that!!
Does God really choose him, or does He give you the wisdom to choose? I watched a video in which the minister said God doesn't choose because if it's doesn't go right, you'd blame Him. It's why he gives us a free will, a choice.
Many of the men I know don't see the value in me wanting to wait for marriage. They look at it as some sort form of torture when it's for a greater good in the end. Not losing hope that I will one day find a men who will see value in waiting and understand the sanctity of sex in marriage 🙏🙏
@Femme Fatale I actually have been thinking a lot about that lately. It can be a little bit scary to go outside of your comfort zone if you know what I mean but it definitely doesn't hurt to have an open mind 🙂
Most men don’t have patience and discipline. And if this is to hard for them to commit to in order to be with you than they are not for you. When the right man comes trust me sis you not even gonna have to stress the point stuff will fall in line naturally
@@sihintas5336 I absolutely would accept a man who isn't a virgin as long as he is willing to change his perspective, be discipline, and understand my values. We all have a past at the end of the day, and I believe that people can change. I personally didn't always have the same views about marriage/waiting like I do now. Not being a virgin doesnt mean that you can't change your life around and start over.
@@sihintas5336 Also, while you're focusing on only finding a man that's a virgin you could be missing out on meeting amazing men that have been working hard to change and love themselves. That special someone won't be flawless but they will be just right for you 🙂☺
Let's Go Lewis Howes!!! EXCELLENT choice!! Devon Franklin is definently Making Waves 🌊🌊🌊!! HE IS SO AUTHENTIC!! What you do SPEAKS so loudly, that what you say I CAN NOT HEAR!!! Actions speak louder then words!! GOOD VIBES all DAY and ALL WEEK LONG!! ✌✌
So happy you applaud chastity before marriage! There is a power in the honesty of chastity. My husband and I have been married for 40 years. We have had many challenges and many blessings, but we have preserved our relationship through commitment and deep faith in God and the knowing that developing ourselves is a spiritual journey we are personally responsible for as individuals.
I am old women now, my life choices were all wrong, but it is what it is. I just have to remember in my next life to get that book from DeVon Franklin before I enter any relationship 🤦♀️🙏💖👍
No sister what you can do is EDUCATE the younger women who drank that feminism nonsense. Until women like you start to teach them of your mistakes nothing will change because men are waking up. God bless you.
Yes, but it makes the healed people easier to see ☺️ The Universe is there for them, ready to follow our lead the same way for us. Can’t make someone want it. When they’re ready, they’ll get it. Meanwhile, we can go at our quicker pace and connect with each other 😊
I very much appreciate hearing a man be open in talking the truth, be articulate and comfortable in this honest place of self exploration and being open to other more amazing thoughts and experiences. “If a woman does not want to share her body with you because she does not trust you, not know you, not love you...that is a sign of a great woman that should not be discarded.” Aahhh...and if and when she does, there is no better love making. There is a world of difference between “making sex” and “making love”.
Yea looking out there just makes me so insecure although I’m fit and Fairly ok looking it’s always someone prettier and richer it’s like impossible to be perfect
God bless Devon Franklin. I always love to hear him speak. So knowledgeable. So transparent. And so gifted and moved by the holy spirit. he definitely lets God use him. You can just tell. This interview was one of the best ones I’ve ever seen.
I am just floored by how amazing Devon is! Thank you for having such amazing people on your show! This interview and Devon's book should be required viewing/reading through high school and college. Much needed good influence on men and women too :)
I totally agree with his point (9min) of opening up about how you feel as a man early on before it gets deep and you end up hurting her, because I did that 2yrs ago and ended a relationship. It hurt but we saved each others feelings and am happy to say we are good Friends. Funny thing is that our dreams came true after we ended the relationship, so it was a great step in faith.
Thank you for this interview!! As a single woman afraid to go back in the dating world, I so appreciate the truths and honesty DeVon Franklin brought to light. Lewis, thank you for this awesome conversation!
yasss!!! If a woman does not want to have sex or share her body with you because she does not trust you, does not know you, does not love you, that's a sign of a GREAT WOMAN.
Yes indeed and the worst is men run away from such women these days. I really love myself and listening to this video makes me fall in love with myself even more.
When he said humanize her. Preach 🙌🙌🙌🗣️🗣️🗣️ 1:00:34 - 1:05:04 hit home for me sad part is he confirmed what I know I should have done for 2 years now 😞🚶
Great interview. I love DF. This world needs more of this content to rebuild families and plant seeds of valuing our body as god's temple on our children.
Exactly! And why she put in the dedication and effort to be celibate. He is definitely worth the wait. I want get the book too and I have The Wait on audiobook to listen to 🙌🏾
Men like you are the ones who are changing the world. Educating men they don’t need to stay in their worldly desires and they can seek fulfillment with love and expression as well. Breaking the cultural barrier of men not having emotional intelligence will help the world
I love Devon Franklin because of his brutal honesty with a tactful flair. He says it like it is and it is so refreshing to hear a preacher tell the truth and really offering the truth as a way for men and women to understand each other and to understand what a man goes through.
Lewis you are a gifted interviewer. You don't miss an opportunity to ask the questions I would want to ask! You go deep. And that is what I love about your show. Thank you.
this might be one of my favorite interviews you have had on the show! such a blessing to have two men like this be leaders in their industry and share such powerful ideas. ugh want this to go viral it's so important
This man walks in WISDOM! Genuinely thankful to hear a man call it out in confidence & that it brings respect to BOTH a man and a woman with what DeVon was outlining in your conversation. I ALSO appreciate these "less popular" topics of self-discipline & impulse control in sexuality for long-term gains actually being talked about. Another GREAT interview!
Wish I had listened to this man when I was in my twenties Would have saved me a lot of heart ache time and increased EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE I was foolish and gave myself to unworthy men who got their fun and I was nothing to them the next day He should be compulsory reading for high school students Everyone would benefit from his well presented and logical advice I agree lots in life is about LOVE Start at LOVE God bless From Toronto Ontario CANADA
Devon i LOVE that you don't excuse poor behavior and address that being a person of virtue takes EFFORT. Appreciate your honesty and the reality that the effort never stops if you want to be successful. Thank you for being real
Less than ten minutes into the video, I already realize what a gem of a man I'm with. Go on telling me more so I can see all the labour of love for what it is and appreciate him more! And yes, I really need to let him know that his heart doesn't go unseen. Much more often, much more explicitly.
This has been refreshing. Watching two seemingly great guys talking about real things. I have been out of my situationship with a guy for 2 years. I just found out he got married and I’m shocked at how devastated I am. I have gone into a deep depression. On top of everything else in my life which is not together it’s a huge shock. I’m so glad he’s happy that’s what I have prayed for, that he finds love and that he’s happy. It doesn’t stop the reality making me feel shattered. Thanks for the talk guys.
Mr Howes - your interview questions are so on point. Thank you! Mr. Franklin - your insights are so valuable. It's good food for the soul. I'm encouraged and inspired beyond words. May God bless you both.
Oh my, Beautiful! This is how Kings and Masters speak and engage each other! Powerful, vulnerable, real, emotional, inspirational. This is one to re-listen... Thank you Lewis for your riveting questions, and DeVon for your ability to display how powerful, vulnerable masculinity is spoken and lived !! I can't wait to share this conversation with any man in my life that I love!
Man this interview is sooooo great! I love to see men have these type of conversations! Men are taught to wear so many masks (Your book Lewis on this is great) and have no safe place to have these beneath surface talks without being judged or the fear of being vulnerable! I'm a fan of Devon Franklin and his work! He's so open to his experiences and even still have ladders to climb in his wholeness. This goes to show that you don't have to be perfect to help others but what makes a person perfect for this work is the ability to continue their own work!! Great episode!!
Lewis...you make happy you dont find it. Married 39 years, have overcome many hard seasons and that is what grows a relationship. Thankyou for this interview.
The scariest part about men not thinking, which I heard from a 60yr old man. Lust don't return nothing. He explain how he wished he was more on his business, he's broke now, none of his kids will come around him, his health is bad and he's seeing someone he's not attractive too, just to get help and not be alone. He wish he could take it all back. Sadness story I ever heard. U play now, YOU play later.💯...he explain just how stupid he was with his ex wife and children, he lost alot playing around with those side chicks. Sheesh💯 What a wake up call, just to late.
Dam I like this ! As a women who was cheated on and it caused a divorce, I am now a single mom while my ex goes about his business and tastes all the women he can out there. It is sad to see that this will be his demise , but my son and I will NOT sit around and wait , which Is why I made the BEST choice ever to leave the marriage. My son and I are so happy now !! Way happier than when I was married. This 60 yr old man needs to talk to all these man cheaters out here !
I feel he's still being selfish and making the same bad decisions. I mean dating a woman just so she can take care of you? Really? Does he even care about her? If his kids came around Zhe wouldn't regret his behavior. He just regrets that he got caught and his actions caught up with him
Education and awareness in a relationship fosters openness elevation and truth, leads to better love one for another: tell me now Heal the pain don't bring it
He's preaching value of virtue, which is so unpopular! Thanks, man. I'm grateful to hear you out there preaching this message to men. It's so encouraging! Women need to hear this!
This was really good, I stumbled upon it on my timeline, it blessed me, it's a confirmation I'm not crazy and the requirements I expect in a man are valid. Come ALL the way correct. No excuses.
Change your thoughts sis....dating is a breeze for me, I only attract relationship ready men who are fully ready to RECIPROCATE the love, commitment & LOVE I have to give.
The problem today is that there is lack of agape love if we can love ourselves than we would be able to treat others well. Sleeping around for example is doing a dishonor on ourselves and that's not love. Lack of agape love is the real issue I believe.
Wow I kind of just stumbled across this but love it. So informative and the whole part about not giving someone your passcode but giving them your body 🤯 I never looked at it that way before.
OMGG! Wow you've literally done this interview at the perfect time, I think I've attracted it haha. I literally JUST STARTED reading 'The Wait' with DeVon & his wife Megan Good
WoW that was an amazing interview. Thank you. My take away from that was how humble he was to admit he stuggles with communication in his own relationship too, even though he is a great communicator.
Very well said. Men get disciplined. Open up and deal with your emotions. Date with intension . All wisdom dont give him your mind unless you are sure he is worth it.
From a single women in the UK 🇬🇧 this was an amazing insight and so truthful. Kissing a loved one goodbye when you were so young touched me, once you’ve done that you definitely become stronger. Great video guys :)
If we date better we marry better, if we marry better we family better, if we family better we parent better, if we parent better we community better....

Because of your show I'm here. Watching and learning from this show by way of Stefan and you guys course. I've noticed that both you show and this show, talked a lot about men and healing but I have to say through your show and now evolving and seeking healing from other shows I and healing learning to heal. I am at peace I've never been at peace before I'm 39 and I'm just learning to heal and it is the most incredible feeling and I have you guys to thank for that I thank you guys so much.
1:49 “People are struggling in relationships”. -- NO, people are struggling with THEMSELVES! Unstable, unhappy people make things difficult. People with no inner peace make things difficult. People with unresolved childhood trauma make things difficult. People who are the opposite shouldn’t even continue to date someone or get into a relationship after seeing the first few red flags. Cut them off and move on. Simple fix.
OUCH! Everyone has some issues, most just mass them and suppressed them. Some are living in denial, fear, and faked!
Being in an open honest relationship and honest communication helps, but respect and love change the course of making it difficult! 💝
@Gehn Saavedro Interesting! 😊
Google Account yep!!! “People ARE struggling with THEMSELVES!!!!!” You said it all right there ....EVERYTHING STARTS WITH SELF. 🤓
Thank you you said it right, this is what ive been saying to some people around me. My job is not to fix you but being a helpmate as a woman. I am not the cause of your trauma.
You nailed it! Exactly!
-"A man that discards a relationship, just because a woman doesn't want to give her body...". That's a red flag regarding the man.
-"A woman who has chosen to wait; a sign of great woman."
Great interview. Thank you for who you are Devon and sharing the truth. I pray and hope this message reaches many more of us.
"I can't allow where I want to be, to dissrupt where I am" WOAH this saved me. seriously.
My three things: no one else can make you happy but yourself, you can validate yourself in every moment so you never need anyone else’s validation and Jesus Christ is love.

What a sensible man! What a truthful man, where did he learn this wisdom, knowledge and understanding from? Everyman from / on this planet should listen and learn and this world will be a better place.

GOD MY LOVE
1 Corinthians 13
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.8 Love never fails. But where there are
Dina Robert my favourite verse.
1 Timothy Chapter 2
11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression
its great to read the Bible after I read the Bible as a men I was set up my self not to have sex before marriage I got married I wait my self for 6 years the first 3 years I was reading the Bible and I was not seek any woman then the 3 years I was making friends woman friends also I start to think that cheating is some about me not about others I mean if I am in relationship I don’t put my self cheating my wife I say my I won’t cheat my self that help me to hold my sexual feeling as a men I was struggling on dream and some my sexuality was high I want to go and have sex but I said to my self I want cheating my self some how I was successful controlling my self then I was asking woman I am interring on in the but I tell them of you want to be my wife in good way some how 2 woman said no but we are still best friend the good news is some how I met good woman I was so good friend with her I was thinking how to tell her but some how and she said Do you love me lol I said yes so we are 2 years in our relationship and we are best friend we work out our different some time we disagree but we honest our self in God willing we are set to get married in 2 years so as men prepare your self to be good men and practice how to be good housebound,,, we go to church we are so good friends that’s good life brothers
@Heartofa Warrior As it states woman shouldn't teach the scriptures but learn from their husbands because you don't know what your talking about. Men didn't say that the most high did for a reason.
@@adrianshaw4639 We can read, so we know you started in the middle of the chapter... It refers to PUBLIC TEACHING IN THE ASSEMBLY OF THE CHURCH, not everyday life and everyday situations.
God does not take kindly when people twist His Word to manipulate others, Mr. Shaw. You have been both called out and warned.
These types of conversation need to happen in the church.. men conference..
Everywhere;)
DeVon Franklin has an honesty about his life which makes one think about his/her trueness. I like how he speaks about his experiences as a constant work in process and that he encourages a woman to not sub standard herself but to give her man that availability to grow and if he’s not willing to reflect and mature, well then move on. I like too how he expressed his openness to communication with groups but was so sincere that within the softness and tenderness of the quiet moments that’s where his communication skills were challenged. Love!!! Love Will, Love Works, Love Wins!!!
camille fahey blackman YAAAAS!!!!! YAAAAS!!!!! YAAAAAS!!
Lust is built in us. Love is a decision. You can see there's a tug of war. The holy spirit is our helper To overcome the flesh. Knowledge, Holy Ghost, and decision.
Vulnerability leads to victory
34.45 "I just can't allow where I want to be to disrupt where I am now" one of the many gems of this video. Thank you both for sharing such a beautiful moment with us
"What you suppress, you empower." This hit me hard! Thank you DeVon. Thank you Lewis.
That's exactly why I am waiting on the lord to choose for me!! Can't feed these large appetites anymore!!
:( what if only the large appetite men are left
@@sihintas5336 Well in God's economy there is nothing too hard for him!!. God will provide a good man for me because I will not compromise myself for men that will never be satisfied with one woman!!. As a medical person many woman compromise themselves for these men and end up with multiple incurable diseases and these men are no where to be found!! You have to love yourself more than that!!
@@RT-gu3kc amen
Same here
Does God really choose him, or does He give you the wisdom to choose? I watched a video in which the minister said God doesn't choose because if it's doesn't go right, you'd blame Him. It's why he gives us a free will, a choice.
Many of the men I know don't see the value in me wanting to wait for marriage. They look at it as some sort form of torture when it's for a greater good in the end. Not losing hope that I will one day find a men who will see value in waiting and understand the sanctity of sex in marriage 🙏🙏
@Femme Fatale I actually have been thinking a lot about that lately. It can be a little bit scary to go outside of your comfort zone if you know what I mean but it definitely doesn't hurt to have an open mind 🙂
Most men don’t have patience and discipline. And if this is to hard for them to commit to in order to be with you than they are not for you. When the right man comes trust me sis you not even gonna have to stress the point stuff will fall in line naturally
would you accept a man who isn't a virgin? and how would you know he is a virgin?
*sigh* i really want to marry a man who waited just like me
@@sihintas5336 I absolutely would accept a man who isn't a virgin as long as he is willing to change his perspective, be discipline, and understand my values. We all have a past at the end of the day, and I believe that people can change. I personally didn't always have the same views about marriage/waiting like I do now. Not being a virgin doesnt mean that you can't change your life around and start over.
@@sihintas5336 Also, while you're focusing on only finding a man that's a virgin you could be missing out on meeting amazing men that have been working hard to change and love themselves. That special someone won't be flawless but they will be just right for you 🙂☺
“Anything we suppress,
We empower to destroy us
Profound 💗
I have the same problem after Chipotle.
Deep
Let's Go Lewis Howes!!! EXCELLENT choice!! Devon Franklin is definently Making Waves 🌊🌊🌊!! HE IS SO AUTHENTIC!! What you do SPEAKS so loudly, that what you say I CAN NOT HEAR!!! Actions speak louder then words!! GOOD VIBES all DAY and ALL WEEK LONG!! ✌✌
@@lewishowes 💛
So happy you applaud chastity before marriage! There is a power in the honesty of chastity. My husband and I have been married for 40 years. We have had many challenges and many blessings, but we have preserved our relationship through commitment and deep faith in God and the knowing that developing ourselves is a spiritual journey we are personally responsible for as individuals.
I am old women now, my life choices were all wrong, but it is what it is. I just have to remember in my next life to get that book from DeVon Franklin before I enter any relationship 🤦♀️🙏💖👍
No sister what you can do is EDUCATE the younger women who drank that feminism nonsense. Until women like you start to teach them of your mistakes nothing will change because men are waking up. God bless you.
@@MrO6 Agreed0
Irony is people who need to hear this are probably not going to search for this and listen to it
Some men are really trying
They aren't awakened yet so it will take them a while but i hope it's sooner than later. Just like you I have high hopes for us.
We all need to hear this cause it’s daily practice 🙏💙🙏
Yes, but it makes the healed people easier to see ☺️ The Universe is there for them, ready to follow our lead the same way for us. Can’t make someone want it. When they’re ready, they’ll get it. Meanwhile, we can go at our quicker pace and connect with each other 😊
It’s because they’re too busy working out and watching the red pill/mgtow channels.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ it's gonna be a prerequisite for the next man I date to watch this interview! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Haha, I just sent it to a guy I’m seeing! It’s such a great perspective for men and women.
Mines Too👍
Done ✅
Yes
Can I tell you💯
I very much appreciate hearing a man be open in talking the truth, be articulate and comfortable in this honest place of self exploration and being open to other more amazing thoughts and experiences. “If a woman does not want to share her body with you because she does not trust you, not know you, not love you...that is a sign of a great woman that should not be discarded.” Aahhh...and if and when she does, there is no better love making. There is a world of difference between “making sex” and “making love”.
I feel like social media has become the blame as opposed to people taking responsibility for their actions
Yes!
Yea looking out there just makes me so insecure although I’m fit and Fairly ok looking it’s always someone prettier and richer it’s like impossible to be perfect
Monica Morris ABSOLUTELY!!!!! It’s much easier to blame than to hold yourself accountable 🤓
God bless Devon Franklin. I always love to hear him speak. So knowledgeable. So transparent. And so gifted and moved by the holy spirit. he definitely lets God use him. You can just tell. This interview was one of the best ones I’ve ever seen.
I am just floored by how amazing Devon is! Thank you for having such amazing people on your show! This interview and Devon's book should be required viewing/reading through high school and college. Much needed good influence on men and women too :)
Tanya Araiza Ramirez i can listen to Devon speak all day. His interviews or videos of him preaching gives me so much energy!
Thank you so much! Women who do not lower their standards should be praised and valued!
Thank you for watching, A Ramsudh!!
I totally agree with his point (9min) of opening up about how you feel as a man early on before it gets deep and you end up hurting her, because I did that 2yrs ago and ended a relationship. It hurt but we saved each others feelings and am happy to say we are good Friends. Funny thing is that our dreams came true after we ended the relationship, so it was a great step in faith.
Did your dreams included gaining the love of your lives that God brought your way? Starting a family? If you’re now married do you still see her?
@@QueenOfPrinciple nope I don't see her. It has been looong. But we cool. I have family now.
Thank you for this interview!! As a single woman afraid to go back in the dating world, I so appreciate the truths and honesty DeVon Franklin brought to light. Lewis, thank you for this awesome conversation!
Open, honest, vulnerable conversation between two men. We need more of this 👏🏽
He is preaching the damn truth.
yasss!!!
If a woman does not want to have sex or share her body with you because she does not trust you, does not know you, does not love you, that's a sign of a GREAT WOMAN.
Yes indeed and the worst is men run away from such women these days. I really love myself and listening to this video makes me fall in love with myself even more.
Amen sister! Virgin or not.. We women must protect our body from those predators! Our body is sacred..
DeVon!!!!!!!!!!!!! G.O.A.T.!!!!!!
When he said humanize her. Preach 🙌🙌🙌🗣️🗣️🗣️
1:00:34 - 1:05:04 hit home for me sad part is he confirmed what I know I should have done for 2 years now 😞🚶
So sad.
Great interview. I love DF. This world needs more of this content to rebuild families and plant seeds of valuing our body as god's temple on our children.
Idah Lo yesss!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽 he’s so blessed and he’s gonna make so many changes in the world.
Two awesome men having a great conversation! I love it! And am I the only one who loved that hand greeting in the beginning?! 🙂
Lust......a dangerous emotion to get caught up in.
Now I know why she married him, his special! So intelligent
I just bought his book!!!
Yeah ikr .....Meagan good😊
Exactly! And why she put in the dedication and effort to be celibate. He is definitely worth the wait. I want get the book too and I have The Wait on audiobook to listen to 🙌🏾
I never got it til now
*he's not his...
Men like you are the ones who are changing the world. Educating men they don’t need to stay in their worldly desires and they can seek fulfillment with love and expression as well. Breaking the cultural barrier of men not having emotional intelligence will help the world
I love Devon Franklin because of his brutal honesty with a tactful flair. He says it like it is and it is so refreshing to hear a preacher tell the truth and really offering the truth as a way for men and women to understand each other and to understand what a man goes through.
Love will find a way, love works and love wins , beautiful message at the end ✨
Lewis you are a gifted interviewer. You don't miss an opportunity to ask the questions I would want to ask! You go deep. And that is what I love about your show. Thank you.
Agreed this was in my recommendations...this didnt even feel like and hour...great value in this interview.
Humility is a great definition of GREATNESS
this might be one of my favorite interviews you have had on the show! such a blessing to have two men like this be leaders in their industry and share such powerful ideas. ugh want this to go viral it's so important
This man walks in WISDOM! Genuinely thankful to hear a man call it out in confidence & that it brings respect to BOTH a man and a woman with what DeVon was outlining in your conversation. I ALSO appreciate these "less popular" topics of self-discipline & impulse control in sexuality for long-term gains actually being talked about. Another GREAT interview!
Wish I had listened to this man when I was in my twenties
Would have saved me a lot of heart ache time and increased EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE
I was foolish and gave myself to unworthy men who got their fun and I was nothing to them the next day
He should be compulsory reading for high school students
Everyone would benefit from his well presented and logical advice
I agree lots in life is about LOVE
Start at LOVE
God bless

“What’s internal must heal internally” That’s so good!!!!
Devon i LOVE that you don't excuse poor behavior and address that being a person of virtue takes EFFORT. Appreciate your honesty and the reality that the effort never stops if you want to be successful. Thank you for being real
Devon is amazing and blessed with so much knowledge!!!
I read his first book with (Megan). He's anointed to teach about marriage.
Study to show yourself approved, it's in the bible.
Less than ten minutes into the video, I already realize what a gem of a man I'm with. Go on telling me more so I can see all the labour of love for what it is and appreciate him more! And yes, I really need to let him know that his heart doesn't go unseen. Much more often, much more explicitly.
This is so touching. I ordered his book and can’t wait to read it!! Men need positive influence. It starts here
This has been refreshing. Watching two seemingly great guys talking about real things. I have been out of my situationship with a guy for 2 years. I just found out he got married and I’m shocked at how devastated I am. I have gone into a deep depression. On top of everything else in my life which is not together it’s a huge shock. I’m so glad he’s happy that’s what I have prayed for, that he finds love and that he’s happy. It doesn’t stop the reality making me feel shattered. Thanks for the talk guys.
Mr Howes - your interview questions are so on point. Thank you! Mr. Franklin - your insights are so valuable. It's good food for the soul. I'm encouraged and inspired beyond words. May God bless you both.
Oh my, Beautiful! This is how Kings and Masters speak and engage each other! Powerful, vulnerable, real, emotional, inspirational. This is one to re-listen... Thank you Lewis for your riveting questions, and DeVon for your ability to display how powerful, vulnerable masculinity is spoken and lived !! I can't wait to share this conversation with any man in my life that I love!
Man this interview is sooooo great! I love to see men have these type of conversations! Men are taught to wear so many masks (Your book Lewis on this is great) and have no safe place to have these beneath surface talks without being judged or the fear of being vulnerable! I'm a fan of Devon Franklin and his work! He's so open to his experiences and even still have ladders to climb in his wholeness. This goes to show that you don't have to be perfect to help others but what makes a person perfect for this work is the ability to continue their own work!! Great episode!!
Stability allows love to flow, grow and SUCCESS is result of it! A Queen conscious woman is that to her king!
Everyman needs to watch this
Obianuju Orjioke Forreal! 🙌🏾
Hiding the truth...
Fear...
Judgment..
Communication is the key. My last relationship I felt more comfortable talking with others than him.
Devon your love language is acts of service, by supporting you she is serving you =)
I had the exact same experience when my father passed away. I was 9 years old as well.
He was very calm and loving. I miss him
You touched Lewis on the Inside :) Bravo DeVon - Mission completed ! God bless You - a true role model & God is smiling :)
Lewis...you make happy you dont find it. Married 39 years, have overcome many hard seasons and that is what grows a relationship. Thankyou for this interview.
The scariest part about men not thinking, which I heard from a 60yr old man. Lust don't return nothing. He explain how he wished he was more on his business, he's broke now, none of his kids will come around him, his health is bad and he's seeing someone he's not attractive too, just to get help and not be alone. He wish he could take it all back. Sadness story I ever heard. U play now, YOU play later.💯...he explain just how stupid he was with his ex wife and children, he lost alot playing around with those side chicks. Sheesh💯 What a wake up call, just to late.
Sad
Dam I like this ! As a women who was cheated on and it caused a divorce, I am now a single mom while my ex goes about his business and tastes all the women he can out there. It is sad to see that this will be his demise , but my son and I will NOT sit around and wait , which Is why I made the BEST choice ever to leave the marriage. My son and I are so happy now !! Way happier than when I was married. This 60 yr old man needs to talk to all these man cheaters out here !
I feel he's still being selfish and making the same bad decisions. I mean dating a woman just so she can take care of you? Really? Does he even care about her? If his kids came around Zhe wouldn't regret his behavior. He just regrets that he got caught and his actions caught up with him
Congrats to him. Pay back time.
Education and awareness in a relationship fosters openness elevation and truth, leads to better love one for another: tell me now Heal the pain don't bring it
That’s it.... be disciplined!!!! Goes for men & women. ❣️
He's preaching value of virtue, which is so unpopular! Thanks, man. I'm grateful to hear you out there preaching this message to men. It's so encouraging! Women need to hear this!
This was really good, I stumbled upon it on my timeline, it blessed me, it's a confirmation I'm not crazy and the requirements I expect in a man are valid. Come ALL the way correct. No excuses.
Well said, this guy is just so sincere and on point...
It’s ALL such a struggle and it shouldn’t be😩☹️
Change your thoughts sis....dating is a breeze for me, I only attract relationship ready men who are fully ready to RECIPROCATE the love, commitment & LOVE I have to give.
It’s a struggle bc people are struggling with themselves....from what I’ve seen, experienced and noticed.
The problem today is that there is lack of agape love if we can love ourselves than we would be able to treat others well. Sleeping around for example is doing a dishonor on ourselves and that's not love. Lack of agape love is the real issue I believe.
@@xervia3032 completely agree
@@xervia3032 That is true
Wow. I love the caliber and quality of this man.
Wow I kind of just stumbled across this but love it. So informative and the whole part about not giving someone your passcode but giving them your body 🤯 I never looked at it that way before.
"own who I am and share what I know"... very important for me in this season
OMGG! Wow you've literally done this interview at the perfect time, I think I've attracted it haha. I literally JUST STARTED reading 'The Wait' with DeVon & his wife Megan Good
How is The wait?
Emma Faye The Wait is good so far. It highlights some very interesting principles and opens your perspective on relationships
Omg just hearing you say “cultivate your life” and giving examples of it reassures me that I m making the right decisions for me. Powerful stuff!!!
Every week I say, this is the best ever interview. This conversation is insane. Brilliant. Thank you.
WOW !! I SEE HOW REAL HE IS, IS BEAUTIFUL AND KIND. MAY GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU.
WoW that was an amazing interview. Thank you. My take away from that was how humble he was to admit he stuggles with communication in his own relationship too, even though he is a great communicator.
Lewis is soft spoken and has kind eyes and a calming smile. He is very easy to love
Devon has no problem with keeping it real like straight up 💯💯💯
Wow! Amen and Alleluja finally DeVon Franklin got a courage to speak up how to respect a woman. Thank you and keep up a great work!
Very well said. Men get disciplined. Open up and deal with your emotions. Date with intension . All wisdom dont give him your mind unless you are sure he is worth it.
From a single women in the UK 🇬🇧 this was an amazing insight and so truthful. Kissing a loved one goodbye when you were so young touched me, once you’ve done that you definitely become stronger. Great video guys :)
I appreciate the raw honesty of this interview and the growth lessons it produced. Thank you.
