Dave spoke truth. Go on missions to serve, not to be served.
Charity starts at home. You need not go far. You can't rescue someone else when you don't have the heart to rescue yourself.
It’s a good message but I didn’t really pick up on an ulterior motive from the caller.
@@martinr4549 The motive of the caller was to run away from his problems
@@ClaxtonBay123 Yeah, when it "hits the fan" go on a "mission". That will make everything better. LOL.
@@ClaxtonBay123 Problems will still be with him just in a primitive environment!
I'm from st Lucia in the Caribbean 🇱🇨 i have been following you on here for a while. I recently met a gentleman at my work place who attributes him being alive to you. You are literally saving ppl lives just a little motivation on the Sunday morning may God continue bless you.
I'm from Barbados and follow Dave Ramsey 's material also. Great to see that more people from the Caribbean are listening and more importantly practicing this stuff !
When you serve others you find out a lot about yourself. When you give of yourself you also give to yourself big time. I hope you have an awesome experience
This is a great response by Dave.
God works in mysterious ways
His "yes, sir"'s he already sounds uplifted. 👍
My thoughts exactly!
Pursue your purpose, But dont use ministry as a way to run away from your problems. I know in the moment it may seem dismal, but don’t overdramatize; STOP the victim mentality and take action to change your current situation. PRAY like it all depends on God! WORK like it all depends on You!
Years ago, someone approached Mother Theresa after an event and asked to work for her in Calcutta. Her reply, "every place on earth has its own Calcutta, there are people right here in your own town who need help. The sick, the homeless, the mentally disabled, abused women, people having to start over again..stay here and get to work.." You don't need a visa and plane tickets to change the world. Thanks anyway Dave.
She was an evil woman.
@@js5072 Yes she was. She let people suffer unnecessary.
"Mother" Terrasa was all about money. She was a on a conversion mission - converting poor hindus into christians by offering free rice bags etc - she was armed by various forms of money laundering.
Talk about hitting the nail on the head!!!! Nicely done, Dave. Sounds like he was just looking for an escape. He talked so slow and sad. Kinda sounds like he might wanna talk to some professionals, to work thru some issues, before traveling halfway across the globe. He will not want to dread coming back home, if he hasnt talked thru his issues before leaving. Wish the best for the caller, and he will have many other ways to help others in life, by doing His will. That missions trip is Not the "Be All-End All" of ways to serve!
He sounds like me
Amazing Answer
Love the way he tackles everything
The neediness
The drama
The desire to serve and not be served
That pay sounds awesome for a part time “retail” gig. If you’re living in your parents house at 22 and they are having financial issues, it is your responsibility to help out. If you don’t want to help out, then move yourself out and take on 100% of your own expenses.
There is no meaning to life except what you make of it.
There I saved you lots of time.
Dave was spot on. Don’t make the mission trip about escaping life because that’s not the reason you go. Also, you should be spiritually mature and ready to serve on a mission trip.
It always blows me away how wise Dave is with his words. He gets it.
Living a purposeless life is not something anyone should endure however this negative mindset has to go. Sometimes the only way out is the way though.
A question I answered that guides me through hard times was “what would I be doing with my life if money were no issue?” That’s your long range target.
Casey Burns Investing i like that
What an excellent question! Set the goal, make the plan & work it until you reach that goal!🦌
Casey Burns Investing I would be retired.
That was a fantastic response by Dave and a great teaching moment for the lad. I know a lot of people that do that. Go on mission trips to escape their circumstances, rather than serve the needs of others.
Army, navy, Air Force, Marines. You will see the world and learn your purpose and get paid. And benefits
David Hold HOOAH
Navy offers a wide range of training and opportunities... even in the air (if you want to fly). I served 26 years in Navy/Navy Reserve... and traveled widely (Vietnam, Philippines, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Germany, Italy) and served with the Seabees (repairing roads, building schoolhouses, installing electrical equipment, and so much more in Vietnam), a destroyer squadron (great 10-week summer WestPac cruise while I was on college summer break that took me all over the Pacific!), aviation command in Hawaii (transport aircraft), Pentagon duty, NATO assignment in Italy, and more. While on Reserve active duty, I made a contact that helped me land my first great civilian job, too (connections!). Now, retired, I have a tidy pension, in addition to Social Security, IRA and nice bank balances. I also have enough left over each month to do make regular charitable donations. Navy gave me my start, including G.I. Bill college benefits that helped me pay for my degree. Is military service dangerous? Can be, but not often. Is it hard? Sometimes, but you have support from everyone around you to pull and push you forward. Is it fulfilling? For me, it was (learning skills that helped me in college, surmounting challenges, working missions to completion as part of teams, and achieving success as part of a fine organization). Might not be your cup of tea, but it can become a great "mission" and worth checking out. Gave this guy in the mirror a direction when he completed high school and was absolutely clueless about what was next.
Most young kids joining the military today are not doing so out of enthusiasm for defending the country. They are more interested in a free ride to college and the guaranteed benefits of a stable job and retirement paid for by the tax payers. We should be encouraging young people to entrepreneurs and to build things people want.
No. Just no
Dave is apparently a therapist as well.
Go join the military. It'll be a starting point and a foundation you can grow on
Facts. Better than mission trips.
Military teaches discipline and hard work. Although I'm anti baby and children murdering.
He wants to escape those needy parents without judgement
I went on a missions trip, with I believe a heart to serve. However, a small part of me was hoping that the trip would refresh me in my draining minimum-wage job. Instead, I realized what work could really be and grew even more frustrated with my job.
So we basically broke with no money and no car inverse of arm broke but he wants to spend all this money on the mission trip?
teebone 21 right his mindset needs to be to help his parents. Even if Dave said it’s not his responsibility
@@archiejames3635 yeah if he's living with his parents it's partially his responsibility
Yeah hes spending all his money on this trip just to come back to no car, possibly no home, and no way to replace it.
Having trouble with Dave endorsing it without clearing anything up.
Is the caller in debt? Maybe I missed him mentioning it.
teebone 21 his parents have those issues, not him.
@@sophia4christ His parents could lose their home, which isn't directly his problem and I don't think he should pay their mortgage. However, not having a car or a place to live when he comes back AND no money saved up to get either one is ABSOLUTELY his problem.
Mr. Ramsey, I don't understand a comment you made. This young man said his parents are struggling financially just to pay the mortgage. You replied' it isn't your responsibility. Years ago, my dad became a quadriplegic leaving my mother to work full time, look after my dad and raise four children. Her clients didn't always pay on time and quite a few times my mum was short for the mortgage payment. As a responsible member of the family, I stepped up and gave my mum every penny that I earned. We, as a family wouldn't have made it without coming together. While not legally responsible there is a moral and ethical obligation to help out....not to mention it is a loving gesture. Why not mention helping his parents? You don't abandon family in need. This young man could wait a few months....see his parents through their hardship and then go on his mission. He could do both, since service is the mission.
Dave is all about money. He sues people all the time to get it. He's one of the biggest hypocrites
Put on your own breathing mask before helping others
I agree, have a mission: to help your own family.
I think Dave is referring to legal responsibility. i.e. it’s not the kid’s debt.
He said "we're one house payment away from losing our house" which sounds like he is on the mortgage. Dave had to clarify that the house is not his financial responsibility before he could advise him. If the guy was on the mortgage and had signed onto that debt, then the mission trip is just simply off the table (at least for a while).
*me living the us and living in Central American for a few months was a big part of me finding myself, so it can work*
Black Vito - Moneyology Why did you come back?
@@tracywalker244 my sojourn was pleasant and found out a lot about myself but it had to end
Your purpose in life is eating rice and beans, beans and rice.😂
lol YESS
😂
Dang it! I love Dave Ramsey :) The Lord has blessed you with the wisdom of giving the best advice!
At least this guy has the money. When I was with YWAM, most of the kids didn't have nearly enough money to complete the mission and there was enormous pressure on the rest of us to give them money. Then one of our leaders stole the money we had donated. Fun times and that was just during the training part. Once we got overseas, the real nuttiness began. I can't say I regret my year with them, because I did have some wild adventures, but I sure wouldn't do it again.
I found I was happiest when I was doing missions work. Before that experience I would have totally agreed with Dave. But my personal experiences told me otherwise. It wasn’t an escape but a chunk of time when I felt like I was living my purpose. I just hope to get back there. Perhaps YWAM is this guy’s purpose and he needs to go all in.
I have seen too many people run to ministry because they failed at everything else. While some people can indeed find God in difficulty, the ministry is not an escape route. I find people who serve God despite having ample other opportunities much more credible than people who couldn't really pull off anything else. That being said, everyone's situation is different. Dave nailed this on the head.
The part that saddened me was his parents situation and you can hear the burden on him. That's not fair for a young adult. Its the same reason I encouraged my son to move for school because I didn't want our issues in his life. Sure enough, he's thriving.
My aunt Marion Jacob's was the director for YWAM montego bay, Jamaica. There are a lot of people like him who come to leadership training classes looking for themselves every year..... I hope it works out for him.
I really love to hear the faithfuls.
You need purpose in life, the sooner you find it the better!
Join the Army! There’s the purpose you’ll find!
I hope this person finds their purpose. I've been looking for my purpose for a long time and I haven't found it yet.
Run what you brung.
The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.
Ecclesiastes 12:13
Maxim Krastev have you tried volunteering locally?
Not if you have debt! If you owe money, the bible says your duty and purpose is to work until your debt is paid💛
The Faithful Gazelle yea say that to the whole country. And how can bible say that if currency wasn’t a factor back then
@@archiejames3635 Hi, My hope is that our country would start to behave in this manner: seeking first the Kingdom of God and allowing His Righteousness to be added to us because of said faithfulness to His Word & instruction!
Curreny is mentioned so many times in the Bible. Specifically, Matthew chapter 18 verse 24, the text tells us that a servant of the king owed 10,000 talents(=millions of US dollars). The servant could not pay his debt back on time and the king ordered for him and his family to be sold as payment for the debt.
If our country walked according to the fear and reverence of this consequence of debt, I believe we would be living in a different world!
The amazing part of the passage is that the king had mercy on the servant. Obliged his plea for forgiveness and set him free of his debt. Our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ, extends the same grace & mercy to us!🙌 He paid the price for our spiritual sin & He lovingly guides us in Proverbs 6:5 with direction and instruction to pay off our financial debt with gazelle intensity & diligence!💛🦌
That is going to be hard to accomplish because the global debt is 4X greater than global GDP. The bible says nothing about investing in a diversified portfolio of stocks bonds and low growth mutual funds. Nearly everybody is saving debt products. If we were using God's money, Gold and Silver we wouldn't be in the mess we are in today.
You should not focus on neither money or gold Matthew 6:19. 6:20
Man 22 years old and him and his family one payment from being homeless and he asking about going on a trip. Yea mindset messed up
It’s not his house it’s his parents it’s their responsibility to pay where they live, 100% dude should go on the trip
Jarrett Pierce and where would he live if his parents didn’t provide him a place
@@archiejames3635 Mission field
You have to find a good balance between spirituality and what YOU have to do in the physical to get something done.
Join the Air Force kid and see the 🌎
Frank Castle Murica
The same can be said of the Navy.
Join the tax payers and help fund warfare/welfare state.
@@1redrubberball yes but you can fly any where the the Air Force flies on your leave for a almost nothing
@@FrankCastle-he8fl I'm pretty sure any branch of the armed forces can do the same.
GREAT response. Praise God.
I’m surprised Dave told him to go.
I would have told him to put that trip on hold because he’s using all his money on this trip and then he will come back completely broke and the possibility of losing a home. I don’t know how long this mission trip is, but I feel like he should stack up some money before doing anything drastic.
Have you ever considered applying for a ROTC program at the university. You can get Student Loan Repayment where the military will reimburse you for your schooling.
I've been enlisted for 10 years and even as an enlisted member of the National Guard, there are several opportunities for people to join the military. I work civil service as a helicopter mechanic and bring in more than enough to support my family, pay my mortgage, Bill's and take vacations. On top of that, I am able to pay into a 401k with a match and will receive two pensions by the time I turn 41 yrs old. Think about it 🙂
Sounds like the movie Plot to "It's a Wonderful life", I'm just stuck here in Bedford Falls..
As a person who is a citizen of a primary destination for missions (Haiti), I'd really ask people interested in going/coming to reconsider and really ask yourself if what you're doing is going to benefit or harm the people you intend to help. Humanitarian tourism is detrimental specially to orphans, who are deprived of food in order to look famished when you visit (so you can feel compassion and give more) when the orphanage can afford to feed them properly. That's just an example. Google how so much help allegedly sent to Haiti never made it to the people who need it and don't become part of the problem. Help but be smart about it.
Where you are is your mission ground.
Yes, this guy should go. Life is too short. I did something similar and spent a few years living overseas in my early 20s and it was one of the best decisions I ever made.
Wow! Papa Dave has such amazing wisdom. 🙌🏾
God helps those who help them selves.
"You know" -Akili
The guy is lost in life and a mission trip won't help him, he won't serve the mission property
such a thing don't exist, let say you find it, you work on it, when you complete it, then what? What is next? live your life people.
Papa Dave almost cried there.
Go my friend 🇨🇦
I spent a year with YWAM. Now I'm an atheist.
Lol I feel ya. These other posts in this comment section are hilarious. So much brainwashing, both from being victims and trying to spread it onto someone else. BIG YIKES.
That was a beautiful and surprising answer.
I love this advice
Sounds like he just needs a mini vacation lol
"Yes sir, I know we need to take that hill, but right now I need some personal space to find myself and my purpose.."
Therapy is needed here i believe, burn out or depression ? Start with self gel or some therapist rakhi you on.... then go on the mussio trip.
If he say “you know” one more got darn time.... you know!!!
100% go
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 that’s good advice!
Amen !
This was such a good call
First of all, you need to affort going and for that, I think the best way of getting money and having time to travel is through real estate and you can learn a lot about it on TH-cam.
Any idea on best people on YT with this type of advice? Would be incredible to have the lifestyle to afford the time and money to go find myself
rtow1 Hey! I like to watch Graham Stephan. I think it’s cool how much knowledge you can gain just by watching these videos on TH-cam that are completely free.
@meet the noxus I agree. You gotta be smart
@@isaacjohnson837 ThisIsJohnWilliams have such a great content while being straight to the point, I like it a lot, you should watch some of his videos
MeetTheNoxus yeah I’ve seen him before too. He’s giving away a rental property. Gonna be crazy
I'm shocked Dave supported him doing this.
Why win? Or Y.O.M.? Clarification please!!!
YWAM. Youth with a Mission.
@@denvercatwoman6561 thank you SO much!!!
Plenty of needy orphans out there. Find a few and help them. Food, Clothing, etc.
Matthew 6:24 - No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon
sorry bud lots of people feel like that we cant all just leave it behind , you call Dave Ramsey to say i'm unhappy and want to get away from it he's not going to buy that line.
I was making $3.50 an hour at that age:) No burnout either.
Wisdom,
Did he say sixteen bucks an hour? That's not bad especially for someone his age.
Not in California - the cost of living in this state is MUCH higher than most other places in the U.S.
@@mattjereza6541 Right, but in some areas of Cali it is much cheaper than others. It all depends on the city.
@@FortuneSeek3rz Yeah I know, but generally the wage floor for those on the lower income scale, generally near minimum wage, typically reflects the cost of living in that area.
Dave, do you have any control on who advertises on your page? Not interested in Bloomberg ads!
Hey bro my chaplain from the Army was a missionary and found a wife. He went to 🇧🇷 and returned with an eye 🍬 lol. We gave him hard time about it but after years of solid married he brought a lady to the 🇺🇸 and give that family a new opportunity. He lives a happy marriage with 2 kids. He was forced to speak Portuguese and help with church with his 2nd language skills. You can get many different opportunities as missionary so you should take it seriously.
When he get home he might be homeless
Hi Dave Ramsey: Over 40 years, Andrew Yang’s “Freedom Dividend” would give more than one million dollars minus “value added tax” to couples. The Freedom Dividend increases over time. Put the money in our hands!
The “bottom 94%” would benefit from a net gain of Freedom Divided minus the “Value Added Tax”. The “top 6%” would benefit from living in a more equitable society. The “top 6%” have family members, friends and colleagues that would benefit from the net gain.
Join the military. They'll give you a purpose and you won't be dependent on mommy and daddy to house you like a 22 year old manchild.
How about giving that money to your parents and working hard to get them out of foreclosure.
If his parents can’t afford that house, they need to move and find something more affordable. The caller giving his parents money? That wouldn’t solve the problem, that would just be a bandaid.
He sounds a lot like me, bit negative. And I just quit my job, 😂Except I’m way more honest, I’d be like I wanna get the f out, i don’t believe in god and I probably won’t come back from wherever the trip is.
Dave ain’t with the “Sh!ts” when hes wearing thaf royal blue shirt......🤷♂️😂😂
Missions are a waste of money and time. Only purpose is to recruit people into Christianity through fear because they are less fortunate
If you need to go on a mission to find your purpose, I don't have great expectations for your future.
No one cares
So he’s not allowed to find joy in serving and getting that benefit?
Join the military.
My advise, reject the teachings of christ, kneel before the Goat, and all shall be revealed.
There's no good evidence of a God. Better to save his money.
Using Religion as a crutch like so many others. Smh
Isn't that a girls name his voice so deep can barely understand what he's saying
