DeWayne, I'm a 48-year-old man here in the old country, (England). I just want to say that your videos have meant a lot to me in so many ways over the past year or two, when at times, I have felt certain things crashing around me. You have given me a sense that the eternal still matters out there somewhere and reminded me of how I lost touch with nature and what it truly is to be human and a man. God bless you, sir.
Hey, Daniel. You are very right about the impact Dwayne's videos have. I am stricken with so much heartache right now and when I listen to him, I too feel better. He has such a healing, soothing effect. I love this channel.
Me and you both mate, think many of us around this age (over here at least) have had the shite kicked out of us over the years, younger fellas don't seem to have had it as bad or the older ones I don't know why well I have theories, but just way society went at certain times and where we fell within that.. BUT what don't kill ya makes ya stronger. 💪🏴🇬🇧
@@AB-C1 Do you really believe that what doesn't kill us, makes us stronger? its an honest question. And does that apply to everything in this world, any adversity we might face and be challenged with?
@@V.Elly-F it’s a very haphazard way of saying that flowers grow from the dirt and that there’s good take aways from life’s hardships. While there is a place for honoring traumas and challenges for what they are, we are still capable of growing and expanding beyond those things. ❤
I am not a Christian, but I believe in God and ask for his guidance often. I live alone, in the mountains in interior Alaska.. Don’t really have any friends, nor family.. but I have found that the more I talk to “God” (whatever that may be), the less alone I feel.
Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life… The God you feel is the Holy Spirit compelling you to seek Him, to come to the Cross, and be cleansed by His grace. I recommend reading the New Testament, just read it with an open mind, praying for wisdom, and learning of Christ's story, His glory and truth, His life and teaching, and - Hallelujah - His resurrection from the grave.
@@GregHalvorsonthere's a ton of history that is lost, thanks expressly to the Catholic Church and their complete control of who was allowed to read that collection of books. Double that with the way it's now taught in most institutions and you've got a recipe for controlling mankind.
@@GregHalvorson One of the most annoying tendencies of many contemporary Christian is that they assume that they understand the experiences and what’s going on inside of other people. If a person tells you he’s not a Christian, but he experiences something, that’s good enough for them. They don’t need you coming in and telling them to read their Bible and what it all means. Many of us create our own meaning and we don’t need people like you trying to fix what ain’t broken.
@@dbuck1964It’s the nature of Christianity to proselytize since they believe their way is the only way. I won’t get into theological arguments but I think their perspective is short sighted in regards to a benevolent God.
Dwayne, I lost my wife last year of 24 years. Together, we had 4 kids. I've been tasked since her passing to finish what we both started. I was turned onto your channel months ago by my 18 year old son. Your words, your outlook, have been a blessing to me. Thank you.
I am sorry for your loss brother. I hope you always keep the strength to keep moving forward and I’m sure you’re a great father and your kids will always be proud of you.
I cant lie, i’ve gotten more knowledge and insight from you than I have from anyone in my family. I dont think you understand how much you’ve impacted my life and others. Thank you
As someone who will be spending her 23rd Christmas alone here are a few things that have got me through that I hope may help: 1. Like Dwayne says - speak to strangers. Smile at the road worker, bus driver or postal worker - they may be having a bad day too 2. If you're alone at Christmas go volunteer at a food bank or homeless shelter - that'll put Life into perspective, trust me! 3. Remember - Christmas is only three days long then life gets back to normal 4. If the Christmas festivities, carols, TV adverts etc trigger you, get your food shopping delivered to your home instead 5. Instead of seeing 'couples' everywhere you go look for the man trudging home alone in the dark; or the woman looking sad on the bus - they may well be going home to an empty home too so smile and wish them "Happy Christmas" in passing It's tough being alone in life and if I could lift this burden off people I'd do so in a heartbeat. Stay strong - you are not alone, I promise.
Thankyou so much for this beautiful message. I am not physically alone in the sense that I have “family” around me but I do not love them nor do I feel safe around them. It’s odd how you can have people around you but still feel so alone. In fact I think it is worse than being alone physically.
“Our Bible is hidden down at the bottom of our duffel bag and until we bring out and lay it out on the bed. Ain’t nobody else gon bring their’s out and lay it on the bed either!” A word! Great video, thank you!
Agreed! This was great and it reinforces getting up the courage to step up and strike up a conversation because you never know who else has their Bible in their duffel bag.
Y'know, I almost did not click on this video, but something told me to. I'm a 25 year old truck driver (who hauls milk for a living), who has no significant others, no stable house to come home to, or a family that I can see regularly. I've been feeling exhausted with life and lonely every day for a long time now. Hearing you mention my exact job title made me tear up uncontrollably, and it felt like something is calling out to me to do something about my life. Thank you, I will be weighing out my options now and seeing what change I can do to better my life.
Hey! The milk truck driver is here! 🫡 I am happy for you that you heard this. I'm grateful to have received a few direct messages from ye ol' RUclipsrs myself.
"No matter how isolated you are and how lonely you feel, if you do your work truly and conscientiously, unknown friends will come and seek you." ― Carl Jung (citing an Alchemist)
Funny thing about people! Some people don't believe in God until they Need God! I need God and Jesus every day of my life! That's a fact! God Bless you all
I appreciate this. I currently am almost bed ridden due to a car accident and back injury. Been difficult few weeks, family is far away, can't help take care of little ones. I feel alone. I am NOT alone. God bless you sir
Jacob healing does take time and patience as I'm sure you know. What Dewayne says makes so much sense all his wise words of encouragement. I don't know you but will pray for you. Thru Jesus no particular religion but Faith 🙏 God Bless you.
Another thing I would like to add is the importance of not hiding your true thoughts and opinions because of the fear of being judged/excluded. You may be surrounded but many people who think the same way but if everyone is afraid and silent you all are going to feel alone in this world. Once I started expressing my authentic self, like-minded people started coming into my life like magnets.
Sometimes, it’s more about who would be missing out if we didn’t speak up. Even if someone reacts with judgement or shaming, the act of owning our present situation lets us connect deeper with those around us as we form bonds.
Exactly like the metaphor he said, “take your bible out of your duffel bag and set it on the bed” that’s going to bring like minded people towards you and build relationships
2 Corinthians 5:10 NLT - For we must all stand before Christ to be judged. We will each receive whatever we deserve for the good or evil we have done in this earthly body.
Romans 8:1 “There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” King James Version (KJV)
@@Bigchurchmusic Titus 3:9-11 NLT - Do not get involved in foolish discussions about spiritual pedigrees or in quarrels and fights about obedience to Jewish laws. These things are useless and a waste of time. If people are causing divisions among you, give a first and second warning. After that, have nothing more to do with them. For people like that have turned away from the truth, and their own sins condemn them.
John 5:24 “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.” King James Version (KJV)
@@Bigchurchmusic 1 Thessalonians 5:8-11 NLT - But let us who live in the light be clearheaded, protected by the armor of faith and love, and wearing as our helmet the confidence of our salvation. For God chose to save us through our Lord Jesus Christ, not to pour out his anger on us. Christ died for us so that, whether we are dead or alive when he returns, we can live with him forever. So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing.
this is not a channel, it is a guide for life. I'm an Italian guy, university student of computer science and car enthusiast, I know nothing about horses and I found this channel by chance on the home page some time ago...I clicked on that video and it was a blessing. In my journey I have a lot of difficulty and it seems that everything is going the wrong way...We are far away, we don't know each other, but you have no idea how much you are helping me
Sitting around the campfire with Dewayne would be on my bucket list if I had one. We are not alone and we are the majority! True words brother. God bless you and your family.
Hey everyone if you have had a bad experience in a church don't give up on finding a good church. There are still some good ones out there. The Lord says in His word that we are not supposed to forsake the gathering together of the saints. The Lord calls us who are followers of Jesus saints not because we are good in ourselves but because He is good in us when we allow His holy spirit to work through us. It's called a relationship not a religion. Please folks don't let some hypocrites in some churches keep you from spending eternity with the Lord Jesus. I pray this helps someone today. In Jesus Name. AMEN!
Your stories are fascinating! To some, you are as a father figure, that comforts them and encourages them to stay on the right path, your life seemed to have been full of wonderful experiences, and stories of encouragement. God bless you, thank you for being here for us.
Hello, I’m a 21 yr old man here in the good ol United States. (South Dakota). And I just wanted to comment a quote that I felt was very appropriate to this video and I want to share it. “Just continue doing your thing with as much integrity and love as possible.” I empathize with all peoples and I am optimistic about a better future. Because the laws of the universe state that as above so below. And the evil has been out weighing good for far too long. The pendulum is swinging in the other direction. Things take time and revolution doesn’t happen overnight. I know we’re all struggling. but remain optimistic and good luck!
Your videos are always so inspiring. They're in a playlist of mine called Advice from Dwayne. As a 30 year old male, I understand being alone and loneliness. Felt it in 2022 with losing my mom and going thru so much grief. However I've mustered thru countless obstacles while regaining my peace and solitude to be the man I want to be. I'm still continuing those obstacles as everyone will. I've entered an acceptance state of mind. You can never tell what someone is going thru these days. Most days I'm thankful with what I have and what I can continue to do for myself along with those around me. Hope everyone has a good Sunday and a wonderful week ahead.
Je suis loin de votre pays mais pourtant votre vision des choses m'inspire grandement... En France, nous avons beaucoup de problèmes aussi. C'est sûrement une sorte de ruralité qui nous rapproche, un respect pour les traditions et la nature aussi. Continuez comme ça Monsieur.
Paul Tillich, a Lutheran Theologian wrote that God is the “Ground of all Being”. So when we see good folks, and yes a good horse a good dog…..God, Christ is with us. When we can see the creator in all beings…we are never alone. That’s why it’s important to be in the “silent majority” that sees this. 🙏🙏🙏 Thanks for your post.
Dwayne, as a 50 year old guy myself living on the borderline between the city and country, I see the best and worst of both existences. My family has all passed away from illness, drugs, suicide, and everything in between until i was the only one left. Although I'm alone, I appreciate you spreading the message to other guys and especially the younger ones because there is some dark forces at work these days trying to tear our men down. Keep up the good work brother.
Hi Dwayne! Found your channel a few months ago and my husband is still deployed and I’m in the last trimester of pregnancy now. Going to church and confession, keeping up with friends and hearing more about God has made the wait more peaceful, taking it day by day and coping with seasons and changes. God doesn’t give us a challenge we can’t overcome with him. Thanks for your videos!
Your nature and way of speaking reminds me of my late husband who passed last May. He had a cam and gentle way of talking to others. But don’t get it confused, he was a man! Much like you. My husband could build things. He knew how to grow nice gardens. He could fix anything. He was a really good man that i loved, admired and respected. I sure miss him sometimes. Thank you for your videos. You are the man, father grandpa, so many people never had to talk to them in a calm and uplifting way. God bless you and your wife. May you always feel His love and never feel alone either. We are all here, grateful for the time you take and all the effort you put into these videos. ❤
Awe, man! It’s a shame that so many people have bad experiences with church. I’m grateful to have the church family that I have. The sad reality is, church is full of broken people and hurt people, hurt people. I pray you find a local gathering that exemplifies Christ. They do exist.
You do a wonderful job in communicating your thoughts. I’m an 80 year old and every time I listen to your channel I always walk away feeling a little better and a little wiser. Thank you for what you do my friend.
Not just gifted gab, you have a wide range of knowledge and experience, your straight and true, and have integrity and care we trust and appreciate. A timely timely message again. Thankyou
God bless you, Dewayne. Since accepting Jesus as my Lord and Savior I have felt very alone. I’ve grown out of my friend group and been discouraged to meet new friends. Thank you for your words, I could listen to you tell stories from the Bible all day haha. Peace and Love brothers and sisters ❤
@ellisbell614 I am sorry, I'm just now seeing this. I hope all is well for you! We are walking the narrow way Jesus talks about in Matthew 7:13-14, and narrow is the way indeed. Thanks for your comment, I hope to hear from you again! Peace and Love
As a follower of Sri Raam (Hinduism), I’m still able to resonate with many of the teachings of Jesus. Loneliness started to hit me hard as I got older, but when I found my Lord, I felt His eternal presence. His mercy and His forgiveness is what holds me in my darkest despair. His name nurtures me when I’m starved. Jai Sri Raam God Bless❤️
My heart goes out to anyone who is suffering. I know it hurts. I wish for your healing and for you to thrive again. Life can be both cruel and generous. I wish the best to everyone out there. -Best Wishes
Two divorces…. Over 22 years…then a 15 year relationship … I never found a real man… I was never appreciated… it just didn’t work out for me… now I’d rather be alone than living in a bad relationship just because. Thankyou for this video. I just became a subscriber and look forward to watching all your videos ❤
I’m an atheist to the core but I understand that feeling of needing to know that I’m not alone. There are good men all over, as you say, many of whom are suffering through this life. There’s great solace in knowing that you’re not alone. Thank you, Sir.
This man is like the father I never had. My Dad and stepdad love me, sure, but one is absent, and the latter; an alcoholic. Sometimes, when my ship hits rough seas and the shit hits the fan, I come to Dwayne's channel to absorb the wisdom that helps me weather the storm. Thank you, Dwayne. You are highly influential to me.
We might feel alone, and sometimes we actually are. But if we stay open we automatically gravitate to people who are similar and we connect on a unconcious Level. Sometimes just for some hours but I prefer quality over quantatity in almost every case.
Being a former chaplain for the trucking industry, I completely understand your sentiment. I left the faith many years ago and finally found peace through Taoism. I'm 46 years old, have been physically alone for many years, and far away from family. Recently, I have been going through very serious issues and had no transport for even basic needs. Called an Uber for the first time in my life. The driver literally was going through the same thing I was, got to my destination, and saw an old friend. He, too, was suffering from similar issues. My current situation hasn't been resolved yet, but my mental health has... because I know I'm never alone. Hope my perspective also helps someone. Dewayne, your wisdom is like sowing a seed in the wilderness. You never know what will grow and benefit in the future. Thank you, sir.
❤England use to have wash boards. I like you because your a solid man. Your a manly man who noise who you are. Solid man are sadly overlooked but he see
I know your a busy guy and probably won't see this. I don't normally comment or interact with youtuber's, but your content has genuinely changed my life. Your wisdom is unsurpassed and has improved my life with every video I watch.
Thank you sir. Im a truckdriver spending all my days on the road. Seeing how some people with that wicked mindset are trying to take over. Like you say, they are a very small group but making a lot of noise. I don't like them/that. I have some friends who are like me , let's say, old-school. Do we have to take that crap that they want us to live by? No we don't and I never will .. I wish there were more people who would speak their mind and not being afraid of what others will think. We are still a majority, I'm sure, but no one comes out and say it. Nowadays you can't say what you standing for without risking to be prosecuted. That's imo why most of us stay silent Thanks again for this post .
I cared for my Mom for 17 years and 34 hospitalizations, after my Dad passed away.There was a alot of sorrow, profound sorrow and grief, she passed away 5 years ago. She was my calling at that moment, and Compass if you will. Apart from all that, with God's help I would do it all over again. It was the most meaningful thing I've ever done. But now I have to start again, with Faith in God that He is going to help me. I am alone, no wife no kids, Maybe one of these days you can talk about that, starting again no matter what age. 😊
Hello! My name is Dumitru and I am from the Republic of Moldova, a very small country with not much of a future. I am 21 years old and I think that my life is just beginning because at the moment I am not in my country, I am studying in Romania because I am trying my best to have a good future in what I can do, what I am good at is art and I am studying interior design. I made a small presentation so that you could get to know me at least a little and my situation in general at the moment. I wanted to say that since I discovered your channel about different topics of discussion about life and about your stories from the past, I wanted to say that it motivates me a lot and you lift me up in difficult moments in my life. When I watch your videos, it makes me feel that I have someone with whom I can discuss different topics that interest me as well, and in the last video, which is about the topic of "You are not alone...", it made me write more this message and thank you very much for somehow helping me to get through my difficult stages in life and I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks so. If you're reading this message, thank you very much for what you're doing because it helps me to re-motivate myself in the things I do at the moment because lately I've been lost in my thoughts again, I was without motivation, I was sad that I didn't have money (And now I don't have money because I'm a student but I'm doing my best to do something to have this money :) ahhaha) and I was sad that I was far from home without my parents by my side. And when I wanted to beat myself up I simply said yes to watch your videos and they motivated me again. A big thank you once again from me, keep making videos like this because there are people who are lost and you are the person who talks them out of reality and makes them stand up again. A big greeting from Moldova and I really hope to meet you in reality and say these words to your face.
Well put. We don't talk anymore. We isolate ourselves and others with electronics. We all need to talk. Say hello. Sometimes it's all that person needed to be acknowledged. Blessings to all during this Holiday Season.
Duwayne, these talks of yours are deep, thought provoking and powerful. I know many are aimed at younger men, but I'm almost 46 years old and I'm man enough to admit that, while I may have learned a thing or two in life, I still have so much to learn. You've taught me a lot about life that I thought I already new. Some of your talks, including this one have also helped me through some pretty difficult periods and I can't thank you enough for that. God bless you and yours.
I'm 72 and my husband left me in 2018. I struggle to work part-time to keep a rainy day fund and stay out of debt. I have a grown daughter who has rejected me because I'm "old". I feel so alone and can't wait for Jesus to take me home. DECADES wasted loving the 2 people I thought would be there for me! It hurts so much. I have trouble walking now and can't wait for it all to be over. Can't even get a shot I need because they want me to jump through all these medical hoops.
Just that title alone. That's what I needed to see today. Dewayne thank you. I haven't even watched the video but I know I will thank you. I truly can't wait for that book of yours!
I know from experience that there are a lot of bad churches out there, but i also know that there are a lot of good ones too. I look at it like this, people will let you down, but Jesus has never and will never let me down. It is Jesus that I serve, so other people's opinions about me don't really matter. Thank you for another video, I realize this time of year is tough for a lot. I just want to encourage everyone, to put their trust and hope in Jesus. You won't be disappointed. Establish a daily prayer time, and ask God to lead and guide you into all truth- and He will. Read His Word. God bless
When you feel the most alone you've ever felt.. as if nothing will ever be okay again.. please know in your heart that Jesus is there ❤❤❤❤❤ you are not alone ❤❤❤❤❤
I'm a 15 year old boy I high school and have been cheated on by every girl I've been with. Finding you is like having the father I never had. I'm going to try to live better now.
as a woman watching your channel, the biggest cultural trend that hurts us females are men who are unwilling to commit. some of us are good, honest women with big hearts and lots of love to give. but we live in a world that’s says it’s okay to use us for sexual gratification and then leave. that’s not what a good man does and lots of find ourselves in places where we can’t find a real man who wants to provide and be there for us, so we can live in our feminine energy. i know im not alone in this, just looking for that good man out there.
As a 32 year old man I can tell you my reasons for not bothering with dating. The risk isn't worth the reward. The laws, costs, potential damage and loss. The pain. All the risks are not worth it. I can't tell which women is 'good' and which isn't. For every ONE women you show me that "isn't like that" I can show you over a thousand that are. Countless stories of relationships that sometimes over decades long where the girl just ruins everything over the pettiest and most selfish reasons. Destroying the whole family; kids and all. I'm 32 and have NO 'game' or experience with how to take things to the next step anyway. We can't court in public because that's creepy and now days you can even get arrested for the slightest advances or even gestures. I could go on and on here. You get to the point where you accept being alone. There's a difference between being lonely and being alone. There's much, MUCH more to life than chasing the opposite sex. You get to the point where it's just way too much energy, money, time and effort wasted on trying to find a needle in a needle stack. You get hurt again and again for what? At some point you have to have self respect and say no. I'm not going through this pain and wasted effort anymore. I need to get on with my life.
As a 40 year old man, alot (not all) of women these days have nothing to offer apart from whats between their legs, I've met so many women who are untidy, undomesticated, don't work. That's partly why we're good on our own and "only after one thing".
Well there are plenty of good men out there who are seeking a virtuous, loyal woman. However, as someone in my 20s, I have only met women who are promiscuous and caught up in hook up culture. Both sides are to blame for descending into a culture of lust and selfishness. Women have lowered their standards and reward bad behavior from men. Men seek out women solely for sex and don’t hold them to a standard of virtue. I’m tired of searching for a woman. Instead, I am focusing on my life and my faith. I hope to meet my future wife in the church or at least in my community if God wills it. Seeking love in all of these other settings (bars, clubs, etc.) is a recipe for disaster.
Good men do exist, that I can firmly say as a married woman. But, much like good women, they are rare. And good, strong relationships are also rare gems that are to be cherished, romantic or not. Rare, however, does not equal non-existent. Sadly, relationships always come with a risk, especially in earlier stages when we don't yet know the other person. This is just a part of life that allows us to further understand what and who we want and to hone our intuition for others. Keep being the lady that you are and don't rush. Just as Dewayne preaches, have faith and have fun. In my experience, best connections with others always happen when you let go of the intense desire to have one. Also kindly ignore the weirdos above randomly dumping their insecurities and traumatic "wah all women are so bad and now I'm such a lone wolf wah" backstories on you above. The irony is that a jaded man never makes for a good partner in life, so they're creating self-fulfilling prophecies. Good luck!
I might add: Smile at a stranger, even if they have blue hair and gauges in their ears. Hold the door for someone. It's still a kind gesture that almost everyone appreciates. Make small talk with a cashier. Share an anecdote. Make a pop culture reference. Do anything that shows your human side. I've been practicing this, and it drastically reduces my feelings of cynicism, judgment, and isolation. I think it was Dolly Parton that sang, "You can't be a beacon if your light don't shine". Thank you, Dewayne.
The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Deuteronomy 31:8
You are just so relatable. Watched your channel for a while. No, I have no interest in smoking or horses. I’m not much of a Christian but not here to put it down in any way. But what I do enjoy is that you help me to learn how to slow down and seek clarity. It’s easy to be caught up trying to make a living and respected that somewhere along the journey, you abandon even the simple things that made you who you are and what get you out of bed in the morning. And I feel like many of us are just chasing someone else’s dreams, and man I’m so tired of being so tired.
Hope you watched his previous video. I believe you can gather the will to face down that one thing that you can’t bear to think about without dreading the potential fallout. We don’t have to live like this, the way things “should be” isn’t always enough if we have different personal needs that are not negotiable. Every one of our spirits NEEDS certain things that no one but you can know fully, but brother, I am also in a life situation where I am being drained by the things I consider “normal.”
Your videos help me a lot. Always fighting clinically diagnosed depression and you name it. Am alone except for my dog all the time now. Was hit by a car that ran a red a few years back and it left me pretty damaged. I foolishly did my own damage by drinking soda and getting diabetes. I really appreciate this one DeWayne, as I’ve been pretty close to cracking. Just wanted to say I appreciate your videos, shared experiences, wisdom, and giving me something to look forward to as I need things like that these days. Only reason I’m still here is I don’t want to abandon my dog.
Dewayne you are a thinker no doubt about it. Just came off a particularly lonely Thanksgiving myself, what a graceful reminder this video is of goodness. I think theres a lot to say, too, about pulling out your bible from the bottom of the duffle bag first. Although sometimes I feel like its very hard to do. I think this holiday season ill try and be that kinda person. Last years holidays were definitely more lonely, and i wont let it become chronic. Thank you again
Over the past two years or so wether I’ve known it or not your videos have touched me in a very positive way , you have a way of explaining things in such a simple but effective way . I’d just like to say thankyou for what it’s worth , your words carry so much wisdom .
Thank you, Dwayne. I have a Christian background but had gotten away from that lifestyle and living it daily. I recently had to start AA meetings to get back to a life that I can be proud of and my family can be proud of. Can’t wait for the book so that I can keep you on the shelf for tough times. Keep on, brother.
Thank you, sir. Everyday GOD is with me! Praying often all day is something that I strive for. It's a conscious thought I carry with me. Sometimes I fail, but I keep carrying on
I know that feeling I’m hanging on by a thread. Had 3-4 women who helped build my life pass away in the last couple years. One by the hands of the man who raised me. He completely got away with it and moved his mistress into my mom’s house. I still have my wife but I am falling apart. Not trying to be a complainer. Just having a hard time finding motivation. Did a lot of it to myself. Lot of guilt for not seeing what has happened comin. Or stopping it. Holidays don’t really feel holiday like. Wife is always good to me but we’re both still having it hard. Lots of death and sickness in our life currently. Thank you for your words it’s a dent in a big problem and it’s helpful. Thank you.
If we are all created in the image of the Lord, I could be within the company of One Mighty Angel... And it really helps to pull me through. Hats Off to You, Sir! 🤠🎩
Wise words as always. I used to be a real loner introvert type of guy. But over recent years I broke out of my shell and have made a dozen or so friends. I mean good close friends. I’ve made a lot of relationships. I have friendships and strong family connections. But i am still no stranger to being alone. I have never made any significant advances in any sort of romantic relationship. I am only 18 so take my words for what they are worth. But I’ve never had a girlfriend or anything that involves. I am going to get one, I don’t know how but I will no doubt about it. I know a lot of young guys my age who have never had any romance and don’t even know where to start. I don’t know if you got any advice Dewayne, but if you do I’d love to hear it.
Thank you for this awesome video! I see a lot of men who are too passive because they’ve been disciplined to be that way by stupid parents and really bad public school teachers. It really does take an effort to correct such passive behaviour in your 20s or late teenage years.
That sentence of yours is not even logically correct (let alone what you supposed it to mean). If there is "we", how can those "we" be alone? Think for a sec, bro
Hey Dwayne, I know that your target audience are mainly men, but I am a woman and I just want to say that your advices really clear things out for me sometimes. Thank you for your kind words.
Man I've been watching Dewayne's videos for several months now and I can't express how grateful I am for having found this channel. The messages that you put out are so valuable and needed that is feels like a fresh breeze in a hot day. God bless you all folks
DeWayne, I'm a 48-year-old man here in the old country, (England). I just want to say that your videos have meant a lot to me in so many ways over the past year or two, when at times, I have felt certain things crashing around me. You have given me a sense that the eternal still matters out there somewhere and reminded me of how I lost touch with nature and what it truly is to be human and a man. God bless you, sir.
Hey, Daniel. You are very right about the impact Dwayne's videos have. I am stricken with so much heartache right now and when I listen to him, I too feel better. He has such a healing, soothing effect. I love this channel.
Me and you both mate, think many of us around this age (over here at least) have had the shite kicked out of us over the years, younger fellas don't seem to have had it as bad or the older ones I don't know why well I have theories, but just way society went at certain times and where we fell within that.. BUT what don't kill ya makes ya stronger. 💪🏴🇬🇧
Yeppers! He helped me tremendously! God Bless! Trump 2024
@@AB-C1 Do you really believe that what doesn't kill us, makes us stronger? its an honest question. And does that apply to everything in this world, any adversity we might face and be challenged with?
@@V.Elly-F it’s a very haphazard way of saying that flowers grow from the dirt and that there’s good take aways from life’s hardships. While there is a place for honoring traumas and challenges for what they are, we are still capable of growing and expanding beyond those things. ❤
Loneliness/depression has a way of convincing you that you are the only one that's experiencing it. The mind is often your worst enemy
Satan comes to steal and kill and destroy.
an idle mind is the devils playground too
I am not a Christian, but I believe in God and ask for his guidance often. I live alone, in the mountains in interior Alaska.. Don’t really have any friends, nor family.. but I have found that the more I talk to “God” (whatever that may be), the less alone I feel.
Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life… The God you feel is the Holy Spirit compelling you to seek Him, to come to the Cross, and be cleansed by His grace. I recommend reading the New Testament, just read it with an open mind, praying for wisdom, and learning of Christ's story, His glory and truth, His life and teaching, and - Hallelujah - His resurrection from the grave.
The Maker often shows Himself when he sees he's really wanted. But, as with any relationship, it's a give and take.
Best of luck on your journey.
@@GregHalvorsonthere's a ton of history that is lost, thanks expressly to the Catholic Church and their complete control of who was allowed to read that collection of books. Double that with the way it's now taught in most institutions and you've got a recipe for controlling mankind.
@@GregHalvorson One of the most annoying tendencies of many contemporary Christian is that they assume that they understand the experiences and what’s going on inside of other people. If a person tells you he’s not a Christian, but he experiences something, that’s good enough for them. They don’t need you coming in and telling them to read their Bible and what it all means. Many of us create our own meaning and we don’t need people like you trying to fix what ain’t broken.
@@dbuck1964It’s the nature of Christianity to proselytize since they believe their way is the only way. I won’t get into theological arguments but I think their perspective is short sighted in regards to a benevolent God.
Dwayne, I lost my wife last year of 24 years. Together, we had 4 kids. I've been tasked since her passing to finish what we both started. I was turned onto your channel months ago by my 18 year old son. Your words, your outlook, have been a blessing to me. Thank you.
sorry for your loss. I hope you find peace surrounded by your loved ones.
So sorry you lost your lady brother. Keep up the good fight for your 4 kids and make her proud x
Im sorry man. You're not alone, we're all praying for you and your family, hope you finish what you pair wanted.
Very sorry about losing your wife. Glad your son is learning a lot from these videos.
I am sorry for your loss brother. I hope you always keep the strength to keep moving forward and I’m sure you’re a great father and your kids will always be proud of you.
“We’re not alone; we’re just not in the same room.” Just lovely. Thank you.
I cant lie, i’ve gotten more knowledge and insight from you than I have from anyone in my family. I dont think you understand how much you’ve impacted my life and others. Thank you

Righteous Dwayne🎉🎉🎉
😁☺️😂🤣🤧
He provides the wisdom we all need.
Imagine he would say me either, but thats a joke :)
me too
Read the Bible and you will be pleasantly surprised
As someone who will be spending her 23rd Christmas alone here are a few things that have got me through that I hope may help:
1. Like Dwayne says - speak to strangers. Smile at the road worker, bus driver or postal worker - they may be having a bad day too
2. If you're alone at Christmas go volunteer at a food bank or homeless shelter - that'll put Life into perspective, trust me!
3. Remember - Christmas is only three days long then life gets back to normal
4. If the Christmas festivities, carols, TV adverts etc trigger you, get your food shopping delivered to your home instead
5. Instead of seeing 'couples' everywhere you go look for the man trudging home alone in the dark; or the woman looking sad on the bus - they may well be going home to an empty home too so smile and wish them "Happy Christmas" in passing
It's tough being alone in life and if I could lift this burden off people I'd do so in a heartbeat. Stay strong - you are not alone, I promise.
Me too 8 years
Amen 🙏 sister
21 years for me but still living my life.
Well put.
Thankyou so much for this beautiful message. I am not physically alone in the sense that I have “family” around me but I do not love them nor do I feel safe around them. It’s odd how you can have people around you but still feel so alone. In fact I think it is worse than being alone physically.
“Our Bible is hidden down at the bottom of our duffel bag and until we bring out and lay it out on the bed. Ain’t nobody else gon bring their’s out and lay it on the bed either!” A word! Great video, thank you!
Agreed! This was great and it reinforces getting up the courage to step up and strike up a conversation because you never know who else has their Bible in their duffel bag.
Y'know, I almost did not click on this video, but something told me to. I'm a 25 year old truck driver (who hauls milk for a living), who has no significant others, no stable house to come home to, or a family that I can see regularly. I've been feeling exhausted with life and lonely every day for a long time now. Hearing you mention my exact job title made me tear up uncontrollably, and it felt like something is calling out to me to do something about my life. Thank you, I will be weighing out my options now and seeing what change I can do to better my life.
Hey! The milk truck driver is here! 🫡 I am happy for you that you heard this. I'm grateful to have received a few direct messages from ye ol' RUclipsrs myself.
Hang in there! You matter!
God bless you brother.

Just in time when my dad had a sermon in our church today about not being alone. Thank you so much!
Once i got lost in wilderness..
my dad said the same thing
You are humble and have so much wisdom. Not just an amazing communicator.
Funny thing about people! Some people don't believe in God until they Need God! I need God and Jesus every day of my life! That's a fact! God Bless you all
Yep, always be thankful for everything you have every night when you go to bed and praise God.
I appreciate this. I currently am almost bed ridden due to a car accident and back injury. Been difficult few weeks, family is far away, can't help take care of little ones. I feel alone. I am NOT alone. God bless you sir

Another thing I would like to add is the importance of not hiding your true thoughts and opinions because of the fear of being judged/excluded. You may be surrounded but many people who think the same way but if everyone is afraid and silent you all are going to feel alone in this world. Once I started expressing my authentic self, like-minded people started coming into my life like magnets.
I'm only just experiencing this in the past few years. I'm often shocked at who comes up and agrees with me.
Sometimes, it’s more about who would be missing out if we didn’t speak up. Even if someone reacts with judgement or shaming, the act of owning our present situation lets us connect deeper with those around us as we form bonds.
Exactly like the metaphor he said, “take your bible out of your duffel bag and set it on the bed” that’s going to bring like minded people towards you and build relationships
2 Corinthians 5:10 NLT - For we must all stand before Christ to be judged. We will each receive whatever we deserve for the good or evil we have done in this earthly body.
@yeshualovesyou we will be judged if we have obeyed the Gospel or not. Salvation Acts 2:38
Romans 8:1
“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.”

@@Bigchurchmusic Titus 3:9-11 NLT - Do not get involved in foolish discussions about spiritual pedigrees or in quarrels and fights about obedience to Jewish laws. These things are useless and a waste of time. If people are causing divisions among you, give a first and second warning. After that, have nothing more to do with them. For people like that have turned away from the truth, and their own sins condemn them.
John 5:24
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”

So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing.
this is not a channel, it is a guide for life. I'm an Italian guy, university student of computer science and car enthusiast, I know nothing about horses and I found this channel by chance on the home page some time ago...I clicked on that video and it was a blessing.

Sitting around the campfire with Dewayne would be on my bucket list if I had one. We are not alone and we are the majority! True words brother. God bless you and your family.
Hey everyone if you have had a bad experience in a church don't give up on finding a good church. There are still some good ones out there. The Lord says in His word that we are not supposed to forsake the gathering together of the saints. The Lord calls us who are followers of Jesus saints not because we are good in ourselves but because He is good in us when we allow His holy spirit to work through us. It's called a relationship not a religion. Please folks don't let some hypocrites in some churches keep you from spending eternity with the Lord Jesus. I pray this helps someone today. In Jesus Name. AMEN!
This helped. Thank you.
Your stories are fascinating! To some, you are as a father figure, that comforts them and encourages them to stay on the right path, your life seemed to have been full of wonderful experiences, and stories of encouragement. God bless you, thank you for being here for us.
Hello, I’m a 21 yr old man here in the good ol United States. (South Dakota). And I just wanted to comment a quote that I felt was very appropriate to this video and I want to share it.
“Just continue doing your thing with as much integrity and love as possible.”
I empathize with all peoples and I am optimistic about a better future. Because the laws of the universe state that as above so below. And the evil has been out weighing good for far too long. The pendulum is swinging in the other direction. Things take time and revolution doesn’t happen overnight. I know we’re all struggling. but remain optimistic and good luck!
Hey Dantae!
Feel free to reply to this message and we can get in contact soon
Your videos are always so inspiring. They're in a playlist of mine called Advice from Dwayne.
As a 30 year old male, I understand being alone and loneliness. Felt it in 2022 with losing my mom and going thru so much grief.
However I've mustered thru countless obstacles while regaining my peace and solitude to be the man I want to be. I'm still continuing those obstacles as everyone will.
I've entered an acceptance state of mind.
You can never tell what someone is going thru these days. Most days I'm thankful with what I have and what I can continue to do for myself along with those around me.
Hope everyone has a good Sunday and a wonderful week ahead.
I believe his name is spelled Dewayne, but that’s awesome that he’s helped you like he’s helped me
thank you for the correction@@Fyrestare

Another great talk.
Paul Tillich, a Lutheran Theologian wrote that God is the “Ground of all Being”. So when we see good folks, and yes a good horse a good dog…..God, Christ is with us. When we can see the creator in all beings…we are never alone. That’s why it’s important to be in the “silent majority” that sees this. 🙏🙏🙏 Thanks for your post.
“we’re not alone, we’re just not in the same room.” thank you for this wisdom Dwayne!
Dwayne, as a 50 year old guy myself living on the borderline between the city and country, I see the best and worst of both existences. My family has all passed away from illness, drugs, suicide, and everything in between until i was the only one left. Although I'm alone, I appreciate you spreading the message to other guys and especially the younger ones because there is some dark forces at work these days trying to tear our men down. Keep up the good work brother.
Hi Dwayne! Found your channel a few months ago and my husband is still deployed and I’m in the last trimester of pregnancy now. Going to church and confession, keeping up with friends and hearing more about God has made the wait more peaceful, taking it day by day and coping with seasons and changes. God doesn’t give us a challenge we can’t overcome with him. Thanks for your videos!
It doesn't matter if we are the majority if we aren't organized.
Your nature and way of speaking reminds me of my late husband who passed last May. He had a cam and gentle way of talking to others. But don’t get it confused, he was a man! Much like you. My husband could build things. He knew how to grow nice gardens. He could fix anything. He was a really good man that i loved, admired and respected. I sure miss him sometimes. Thank you for your videos. You are the man, father grandpa, so many people never had to talk to them in a calm and uplifting way. God bless you and your wife. May you always feel His love and never feel alone either. We are all here, grateful for the time you take and all the effort you put into these videos. ❤
Awe, man! It’s a shame that so many people have bad experiences with church. I’m grateful to have the church family that I have. The sad reality is, church is full of broken people and hurt people, hurt people. I pray you find a local gathering that exemplifies Christ. They do exist.
You do a wonderful job in communicating your thoughts. I’m an 80 year old and every time I listen to your channel I always walk away feeling a little better and a little wiser. Thank you for what you do my friend.
I will be 63 in a few days. This lady feels this way too. Also share faith in the Lord like Dwayne. He and mama are a blessing to this listener.😀
Not just gifted gab, you have a wide range of knowledge and experience, your straight and true, and have integrity and care we trust and appreciate. A timely timely message again. Thankyou
God bless you, Dewayne. Since accepting Jesus as my Lord and Savior I have felt very alone. I’ve grown out of my friend group and been discouraged to meet new friends. Thank you for your words, I could listen to you tell stories from the Bible all day haha. Peace and Love brothers and sisters ❤
@ellisbell614 I am sorry, I'm just now seeing this. I hope all is well for you! We are walking the narrow way Jesus talks about in Matthew 7:13-14, and narrow is the way indeed. Thanks for your comment, I hope to hear from you again! Peace and Love
As a follower of Sri Raam (Hinduism), I’m still able to resonate with many of the teachings of Jesus.
Loneliness started to hit me hard as I got older, but when I found my Lord, I felt His eternal presence. His mercy and His forgiveness is what holds me in my darkest despair. His name nurtures me when I’m starved.
Jai Sri Raam
God Bless❤️

Over 22 years…then a 15 year relationship … I never found a real man… I was never appreciated… it just didn’t work out for me… now I’d rather be alone than living in a bad relationship just because.

Mr Dwayne.., this was a great sermon, Thankyou Sir 👍
You’ve got me through some tough shit man
I’m an atheist to the core but I understand that feeling of needing to know that I’m not alone. There are good men all over, as you say, many of whom are suffering through this life. There’s great solace in knowing that you’re not alone. Thank you, Sir.
This guy hits home when we need it.
8:35 - 8:41 damn right
11:00 - 11:53 great message from the Bible.
This man is like the father I never had. My Dad and stepdad love me, sure, but one is absent, and the latter; an alcoholic. Sometimes, when my ship hits rough seas and the shit hits the fan, I come to Dwayne's channel to absorb the wisdom that helps me weather the storm.
Thank you, Dwayne. You are highly influential to me.
We might feel alone, and sometimes we actually are. But if we stay open we automatically gravitate to people who are similar and we connect on a unconcious Level. Sometimes just for some hours but I prefer quality over quantatity in almost every case.
Being a former chaplain for the trucking industry, I completely understand your sentiment. I left the faith many years ago and finally found peace through Taoism. I'm 46 years old, have been physically alone for many years, and far away from family. Recently, I have been going through very serious issues and had no transport for even basic needs. Called an Uber for the first time in my life. The driver literally was going through the same thing I was, got to my destination, and saw an old friend. He, too, was suffering from similar issues. My current situation hasn't been resolved yet, but my mental health has... because I know I'm never alone. Hope my perspective also helps someone. Dewayne, your wisdom is like sowing a seed in the wilderness. You never know what will grow and benefit in the future. Thank you, sir.
Taoism 🤦♂️

I know your a busy guy and probably won't see this. I don't normally comment or interact with youtuber's, but your content has genuinely changed my life. Your wisdom is unsurpassed and has improved my life with every video I watch.
Thank you sir. Im a truckdriver spending all my days on the road. Seeing how some people with that wicked mindset are trying to take over. Like you say, they are a very small group but making a lot of noise. I don't like them/that. I have some friends who are like me , let's say, old-school. Do we have to take that crap that they want us to live by? No we don't and I never will ..
I wish there were more people who would speak their mind and not being afraid of what others will think. We are still a majority, I'm sure, but no one comes out and say it. Nowadays you can't say what you standing for without risking to be prosecuted. That's imo why most of us stay silent
Thanks again for this post .
I cared for my Mom for 17 years and 34 hospitalizations, after my Dad passed away.There was a alot of sorrow, profound sorrow and grief, she passed away 5 years ago. She was my calling at that moment, and Compass if you will.
Apart from all that, with God's help
I would do it all over again. It was the most meaningful thing I've ever done.
But now I have to start again, with Faith in God that He is going to help me. I am alone, no wife no kids, Maybe one of these days you can talk about that, starting again no matter what age. 😊
Thank you Mr. Dwayne, your words of wisdom help me daily sir.
Hello! My name is Dumitru and I am from the Republic of Moldova, a very small country with not much of a future. I am 21 years old and I think that my life is just beginning because at the moment I am not in my country, I am studying in Romania because I am trying my best to have a good future in what I can do, what I am good at is art and I am studying interior design. I made a small presentation so that you could get to know me at least a little and my situation in general at the moment. I wanted to say that since I discovered your channel about different topics of discussion about life and about your stories from the past, I wanted to say that it motivates me a lot and you lift me up in difficult moments in my life. When I watch your videos, it makes me feel that I have someone with whom I can discuss different topics that interest me as well, and in the last video, which is about the topic of "You are not alone...", it made me write more this message and thank you very much for somehow helping me to get through my difficult stages in life and I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks so. If you're reading this message, thank you very much for what you're doing because it helps me to re-motivate myself in the things I do at the moment because lately I've been lost in my thoughts again, I was without motivation, I was sad that I didn't have money (And now I don't have money because I'm a student but I'm doing my best to do something to have this money :) ahhaha) and I was sad that I was far from home without my parents by my side. And when I wanted to beat myself up I simply said yes to watch your videos and they motivated me again.
A big thank you once again from me, keep making videos like this because there are people who are lost and you are the person who talks them out of reality and makes them stand up again.
A big greeting from Moldova and I really hope to meet you in reality and say these words to your face.
Well put. We don't talk anymore. We isolate ourselves and others with electronics. We all need to talk. Say hello. Sometimes it's all that person needed to be acknowledged. Blessings to all during this Holiday Season.
Greetings from San Antonio. Thank you for this timely word. It was a blessing to listen to this.
Dewayne, your simple advice on cowboy vs rodeo energy has helped me tons over the past year. I appreciate these videos, thank you.
You are very wise sir, thank you for your wisdom.
Duwayne, these talks of yours are deep, thought provoking and powerful. I know many are aimed at younger men, but I'm almost 46 years old and I'm man enough to admit that, while I may have learned a thing or two in life, I still have so much to learn. You've taught me a lot about life that I thought I already new. Some of your talks, including this one have also helped me through some pretty difficult periods and I can't thank you enough for that. God bless you and yours.
I'm 72 and my husband left me in 2018. I struggle to work part-time to keep a rainy day fund and stay out of debt. I have a grown daughter who has rejected me because I'm "old". I feel so alone and can't wait for Jesus to take me home. DECADES wasted loving the 2 people I thought would be there for me! It hurts so much. I have trouble walking now and can't wait for it all to be over. Can't even get a shot I need because they want me to jump through all these medical hoops.
Just that title alone. That's what I needed to see today. Dewayne thank you. I haven't even watched the video but I know I will thank you.
I truly can't wait for that book of yours!
Camping out in so cal. Alone but I'm a nature dude. Alot mother Earth gives us that reminds us the very fact you speak of.
I know from experience that there are a lot of bad churches out there, but i also know that there are a lot of good ones too. I look at it like this, people will let you down, but Jesus has never and will never let me down. It is Jesus that I serve, so other people's opinions about me don't really matter. Thank you for another video, I realize this time of year is tough for a lot. I just want to encourage everyone, to put their trust and hope in Jesus. You won't be disappointed. Establish a daily prayer time, and ask God to lead and guide you into all truth- and He will. Read His Word.
God bless
When you feel the most alone you've ever felt.. as if nothing will ever be okay again.. please know in your heart that Jesus is there ❤❤❤❤❤ you are not alone ❤❤❤❤❤
I'm a 15 year old boy I high school and have been cheated on by every girl I've been with. Finding you is like having the father I never had. I'm going to try to live better now.
I have a question for you, would you feel weird being friends with someone who is 12years old?, As I am
I've been watching your videos on TikTok with full-destroyed mental health and a big hole of loneliness, and this notification pulls up. Thank you❤️
Kentucky native thanks for your kind words and wisdom sir Dwanye.
as a woman watching your channel, the biggest cultural trend that hurts us females are men who are unwilling to commit. some of us are good, honest women with big hearts and lots of love to give. but we live in a world that’s says it’s okay to use us for sexual gratification and then leave. that’s not what a good man does and lots of find ourselves in places where we can’t find a real man who wants to provide and be there for us, so we can live in our feminine energy. i know im not alone in this, just looking for that good man out there.
As a 32 year old man I can tell you my reasons for not bothering with dating. The risk isn't worth the reward. The laws, costs, potential damage and loss. The pain. All the risks are not worth it. I can't tell which women is 'good' and which isn't. For every ONE women you show me that "isn't like that" I can show you over a thousand that are. Countless stories of relationships that sometimes over decades long where the girl just ruins everything over the pettiest and most selfish reasons. Destroying the whole family; kids and all. I'm 32 and have NO 'game' or experience with how to take things to the next step anyway. We can't court in public because that's creepy and now days you can even get arrested for the slightest advances or even gestures.
I could go on and on here.
You get to the point where you accept being alone. There's a difference between being lonely and being alone. There's much, MUCH more to life than chasing the opposite sex. You get to the point where it's just way too much energy, money, time and effort wasted on trying to find a needle in a needle stack. You get hurt again and again for what? At some point you have to have self respect and say no. I'm not going through this pain and wasted effort anymore. I need to get on with my life.
As a 40 year old man, alot (not all) of women these days have nothing to offer apart from whats between their legs, I've met so many women who are untidy, undomesticated, don't work. That's partly why we're good on our own and "only after one thing".
You guys got what you wanted. Autonomy. Never will I personally get involved I have a great job and Me Too won’t take that away. Enjoy your equality.
Well there are plenty of good men out there who are seeking a virtuous, loyal woman. However, as someone in my 20s, I have only met women who are promiscuous and caught up in hook up culture. Both sides are to blame for descending into a culture of lust and selfishness. Women have lowered their standards and reward bad behavior from men. Men seek out women solely for sex and don’t hold them to a standard of virtue. I’m tired of searching for a woman. Instead, I am focusing on my life and my faith. I hope to meet my future wife in the church or at least in my community if God wills it. Seeking love in all of these other settings (bars, clubs, etc.) is a recipe for disaster.
Good men do exist, that I can firmly say as a married woman. But, much like good women, they are rare. And good, strong relationships are also rare gems that are to be cherished, romantic or not. Rare, however, does not equal non-existent.
Sadly, relationships always come with a risk, especially in earlier stages when we don't yet know the other person. This is just a part of life that allows us to further understand what and who we want and to hone our intuition for others. Keep being the lady that you are and don't rush. Just as Dewayne preaches, have faith and have fun. In my experience, best connections with others always happen when you let go of the intense desire to have one.
Also kindly ignore the weirdos above randomly dumping their insecurities and traumatic "wah all women are so bad and now I'm such a lone wolf wah" backstories on you above. The irony is that a jaded man never makes for a good partner in life, so they're creating self-fulfilling prophecies. Good luck!
Your videos always remind me of home (folks and places I miss home hope to see it one more time before I leave this place thanks for the talks)
I might add: Smile at a stranger, even if they have blue hair and gauges in their ears. Hold the door for someone. It's still a kind gesture that almost everyone appreciates. Make small talk with a cashier. Share an anecdote. Make a pop culture reference. Do anything that shows your human side. I've been practicing this, and it drastically reduces my feelings of cynicism, judgment, and isolation. I think it was Dolly Parton that sang, "You can't be a beacon if your light don't shine". Thank you, Dewayne.
Sounds great, is this what you did?
The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.
Deuteronomy 31:8
You are just so relatable. Watched your channel for a while. No, I have no interest in smoking or horses. I’m not much of a Christian but not here to put it down in any way. But what I do enjoy is that you help me to learn how to slow down and seek clarity. It’s easy to be caught up trying to make a living and respected that somewhere along the journey, you abandon even the simple things that made you who you are and what get you out of bed in the morning. And I feel like many of us are just chasing someone else’s dreams, and man I’m so tired of being so tired.
Hope you watched his previous video. I believe you can gather the will to face down that one thing that you can’t bear to think about without dreading the potential fallout. We don’t have to live like this, the way things “should be” isn’t always enough if we have different personal needs that are not negotiable. Every one of our spirits NEEDS certain things that no one but you can know fully, but brother, I am also in a life situation where I am being drained by the things I consider “normal.”
watching , listening , and learning .
thank you sir
Your videos help me a lot. Always fighting clinically diagnosed depression and you name it.
Am alone except for my dog all the time now. Was hit by a car that ran a red a few years back and it left me pretty damaged.
I foolishly did my own damage by drinking soda and getting diabetes. I really appreciate this one DeWayne, as I’ve been pretty close to cracking. Just wanted to say I appreciate your videos, shared experiences, wisdom, and giving me something to look forward to as I need things like that these days.
Only reason I’m still here is I don’t want to abandon my dog.
Me and Jesus, We are a Majority, We are a Majority, Jesus and Me!!
I rally really really want from Mr.Dewane to deduce RDR2 while playing and telling the life lessons what he deduced from it.
Completely forgot that MOST PEOPLE feel the exact same way I do around the holidays. Lonely. It's reassuring the here that, that I'm not the only one.
Dewayne you are a thinker no doubt about it. Just came off a particularly lonely Thanksgiving myself, what a graceful reminder this video is of goodness. I think theres a lot to say, too, about pulling out your bible from the bottom of the duffle bag first. Although sometimes I feel like its very hard to do. I think this holiday season ill try and be that kinda person. Last years holidays were definitely more lonely, and i wont let it become chronic. Thank you again
I feel you. We R the growing sorts.
Over the past two years or so wether I’ve known it or not your videos have touched me in a very positive way , you have a way of explaining things in such a simple but effective way . I’d just like to say thankyou for what it’s worth , your words carry so much wisdom .
Thank you, Dwayne. I have a Christian background but had gotten away from that lifestyle and living it daily. I recently had to start AA meetings to get back to a life that I can be proud of and my family can be proud of. Can’t wait for the book so that I can keep you on the shelf for tough times.
Keep on, brother.
Thanks for your service
Thank you, sir. Everyday GOD is with me! Praying often all day is something that I strive for. It's a conscious thought I carry with me. Sometimes I fail, but I keep carrying on
i am god and i ain’t with you everyday…..

I like your show. It’s different. I work extra days in Dec. It’s mandatory. But it keeps me from sitting around, alone, feeling sorry for myself.
I know that feeling I’m hanging on by a thread. Had 3-4 women who helped build my life pass away in the last couple years. One by the hands of the man who raised me. He completely got away with it and moved his mistress into my mom’s house. I still have my wife but I am falling apart. Not trying to be a complainer. Just having a hard time finding motivation. Did a lot of it to myself. Lot of guilt for not seeing what has happened comin. Or stopping it. Holidays don’t really feel holiday like. Wife is always good to me but we’re both still having it hard. Lots of death and sickness in our life currently. Thank you for your words it’s a dent in a big problem and it’s helpful. Thank you.
If we are all created in the image of the Lord, I could be within the company of One Mighty Angel... And it really helps to pull me through. Hats Off to You, Sir! 🤠🎩
If we were all perfect there would have been notified need for the Savior. So I rejoice in the wisdom that comes from a Wrangler School. Bless you all
Wise words as always. I used to be a real loner introvert type of guy. But over recent years I broke out of my shell and have made a dozen or so friends. I mean good close friends. I’ve made a lot of relationships. I have friendships and strong family connections. But i am still no stranger to being alone. I have never made any significant advances in any sort of romantic relationship. I am only 18 so take my words for what they are worth. But I’ve never had a girlfriend or anything that involves. I am going to get one, I don’t know how but I will no doubt about it. I know a lot of young guys my age who have never had any romance and don’t even know where to start. I don’t know if you got any advice Dewayne, but if you do I’d love to hear it.
Wow, this just hit home so hard. God brought me here at the right time 🙏🏽
Thank you for this awesome video!
I see a lot of men who are too passive because they’ve been disciplined to be that way by stupid parents and really bad public school teachers. It really does take an effort to correct such passive behaviour in your 20s or late teenage years.
We are all alone. Accept it and live accordingly.
That sentence of yours is not even logically correct (let alone what you supposed it to mean). If there is "we", how can those "we" be alone? Think for a sec, bro
I'm single truck driver without a home it don't get that much more alone then this
Will you elaborate. ? You mean just driving all over makes you have no home? Or for real no home. But you have a job?
@michalkburnett4404 yeah I have no home I live and work in my 18wheeler
Very beautiful. Thank you so much Wayne.
I love what he says he helps a lot of people and I love it he helps me too
Hey Dwayne, I know that your target audience are mainly men, but I am a woman and I just want to say that your advices really clear things out for me sometimes. Thank you for your kind words.
❤ you're welcome here
Man I've been watching Dewayne's videos for several months now and I can't express how grateful I am for having found this channel. The messages that you put out are so valuable and needed that is feels like a fresh breeze in a hot day. God bless you all folks
