The beard that John lost... my face found. Thank you John. Best gift ever.
Hot as you can handle *without* burning yourself....a wet washcloth will get rid of the itch. Just lay on the couch with it on your face til it cools.
😂😂😂😂😂
John looks like hes 20 something when he shaves it off.
Who is this boy? How can he be taken seriously?
It’s the gift that keeps on giving
Going to the range and shooting my guns always makes me very happy, I would be even happier if ammo didn't cost quite so much...
Get a Tillman 22 LR looks like ar but is 22 and the ammo is cheaper. Merry Christmas
@@DragonflyAcres2022 half the fun is recoil
@@DragonflyAcres2022 I don't use an AR, I use a Mini 14, so the 10/22 is my perfect companion to it for 22lr practice. Thanks for the tip though, I do plan on getting a full size 22 pistol for training soon as well.
@@NoNo_IStay AR’s don’t really have recoil. The muzzle goes up, but nothing really comes back. Some military range instructors demo that by placing the butt of the stock on their nads and firing. Lol. But you’re right, there is something there that a 22 can’t provide.
True man. Nothing calms me down like the range. If I go too many months without shooting it becomes the only thing on my mind.
Heartwarming, thank you for your public testimony, Brother. We are not ashamed of Jesus and the Gospel; it is the power of our Salvation.
An attitude of gratitude is one of the most important ingredients for a happy, successful, and fulfilled life.
Amen brother, my joy comes from knowing my citizenship is not here and I am saved. Maranatha.
Amen Juan! You spoke what came to my mind when listening to John. Merry Christmas!
@@kruppert54 Merry Christmas to you and yours!
My pastor always says "Remember we are citizens of heaven!"
@@aaronsarquist3382 spot on.. there’s more truth in this than most can even imagine
Yeah for sure!🙏🙏
Major respect for truth seeking faith based content, no preparedness or firearms will protect us like a personal relationship with our Creator Jesus!
A good Warrior Poet never judges a book by its BEARD! God bless all the Poets out there may you find joy. Thank you John you are making a difference.
Amen our "beautiful" brother with no beard. Shalom to all the Warrior Poets out there.
Glory Glory to our Father in heaven for the reason of this season.
Thank you so much for this! On the 24th of last month, I lost most of my physical possessions to a house fire, thankfully noone was home at the time. The books, photos, music, writing, guns, food and supply preps, ammo, all gone. The few items I had with me that day were my carry gun, a family board game, and the Bible. The next day though it was unplanned, I proposed to the women I was courting in front of the smouldering ruins and we were married that night! There are so many lessons to learn from this but haveing lost the earthly treasures, I gained a family in Messiah, HalleluYah! I am so grateful to our Heavenly Father!
What a wonderful example of turning FROM negative circumstances and turning TO your blessings! Congratulations to you both! May you have a lifetime of happiness together!
What a blessing it's been to happen on to your videos. I just renewed my CCL in Illinois and I am very excited about our law enforcement standing up for our rights!! I am a 70 yrs old conservative. I am now alone as all my family has passed. I feel lonely at times so it was so nice to hear you refer to Cory Tim Boone tonight. I needed to be reminded of her story and will go back and watch her movie again. Thank you for all your time spent with instructions.
The happiest I remember being is after losing almost every material thing in hurricane Katrina. Neighbors, helped each other, & we shared. We were broken and all in the same boat. GREAT TIMES!
God challenged me with Harvey. Prayed for knowledge, wisdom and the skill to rebuild. I should have asked for patients as I marched through the storm of rebuilding. God delivered and we're back better today.
Happiness is in the middle of the Venn Diagram of persistence, adaptability, and gratitude.
Keep talking Jesus, John. I love hearing it from you. You have the platform to spread the word and save souls. You're an influential guy and people listen to you. Keep telling them about Jesus... the world needs it from a guy like you.
Ps - You're also beautiful. Merry Christmas brother.
The Bible gives great instruction for controlling and understanding anger. Anger will make you miserable. Peace yall and thank you John
Happiness comes from thankfulness. Thankful to the Almighty power that controls everything. All things work to good for those who love the Creator and are obedient to Him.
Coming from someone with bad anxiety issues, happiness is the little moments. My kids still running to me while screaming “daddy’s home!”, after every work day. Making my wife laugh with my stupid humor. Seeing my kids super excited about learning a new skill. Ok is my goal. Growing up with nothing, in an abusive home, drugs/alcohol, and blah blah. My entire goal in life is to just be ok. I’ve made that happen for me and my family and I couldn’t be more grateful for what my King has given me.
100% correct. As far as the money part I'd say the happiest time of my life was the 2years I was out of work. Just doing odd jobs. Had enough to live on and pay my bills. It was the most "free" I ever felt. Definitely the funniest time
Yes sir! I'm in that exact position myself right now. Have been since Sept 2021. Worked in manufacturing the majority of my life. When my Mama passed away from cancer, it broke me inside. I took time off from full time. Catching side jobs ever since. I struggle half the time but I do feel liberated. Just not looking forward to getting back into the factory work. One day perhaps. We shall see where the Lord takes me
That's an awesome message that more men need to hear. Thanks for serving our country ... in uniform and out of uniform. May God continue to bless you & your family ... ONWARD CHRISTIAN SOLDIERS!!!
WELL DONE JOHN! MERRY CHRISTMAS to you and all who know you!! Praise GOD for all He is doing with your life.
Be humble, kind and great full, ALL things are a gift from God. We are not deserving of anything.
Some of the toughest men I knew growing up lived like that. I’m 76 , and have seen a little bit.
Which god?
@@aakksshhaayy The ONLY God. Capital G. Jesus Christ is king.
@@Arcahnslight I only believe in Jesus Christ The First, not Jesus Christ the second
Happiness requires a conscious effort.
Hope and Joy through Christ. Thank you for the message, John.
Happiness is fleeting, joy is lasting.
I'm not religious, but this might be my favorite video of yours. Very nice message. Thank you.
He's not religious either
@@wolfpack4672 he is
I've been watching his videos for years I've never heard him say that. I may have missed it though
@@wolfpack4672 he's not "religious", he is a believer in Christ, and he is saved by the grace of God 🙏🙏
Modern society has a warped definition of "Religion".
The TRUE, and Biblical definition is:
James 1:27 NKJV
Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.
The garbage that Catholics go through is Political militant Ideology, and has nothing to do with True Christianity.
John,
Christmas 2005, in an ice cold hangar in Kuwait, waiting to deploy to Iraq at 18+ years in service. This topic you present is as valid today as it was for Corrie ten Boom in the 1940's. I heard her speak on this very same message when I was in junior high school. In hindsight, I can see how this message and the peace it brings has a profound impact on my outlook on life.
You consistently express the Truth found in the Gospel and I encouarge you to keep it going strong.
Just experienced probably my worst let down in my life and God and family are the only thing that has kept me going. My rusty truck keeps me going to work and let's me see my kids. Gratitude brings happiness!
I want to give this man a bro hug.
Patience and happiness have a correlation, for me.
I used to not be patient & I wasn’t happy.
Patience is virtuous.
In our impatience, we tend to bring about the very things that will prevent our happiness in the long run. Example. Someone expects marriage to make them happy, so they rush into marriage immediately and choose the first contender. Usually doesn't end well.
You're on to something there!
Patience is a virtue, bravery is a virtue. Happiness is not a virtue ;)
@@abrahamlincoln6619 Good point. The corollary to which is happiness is the fruit of the virtuous life.
Your a beautiful man John Lovell!!🤣Thank you, for using the blessing our Father has blessed you with, to be a blessing to so many others!
Be joyfull my man in the fact that you have given this old Army warror Veteran a rebirth and faith that there are still a few men like you out there in our country, that know what it is to be a man poet warrior.
Wishing you and your family a most joyful Christmas and blessed New Year.
Love to see influential guys in the industry openly sharing the Gospel, thanks for sharing and Merry Christmas!
As Jeremy says in his razor commercial, i cant say i love you. But i mean you no specific harm. Beard or no beard, love the message. Gun stuff is good and anyone can do it. These are the messages the warrior poets need to hear and strive to achieve. Keep up the good works you do to inspire us to move closer to following our paths to the ultimate joy with our Lord and Savior
The light of hope within me has been extinguished.
Merry Christmas to all you Warrior Poets out there! May you all find joy and meaning in your journeys!
“Consider it pure joy my brothers and sisters when you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. (including joy!).
James 1 2:4
John this verse has always done the same thing to me. Consider it pure JOY? OK 👍🏻! Lol. But as I grow in my walk with the Lord, and the more I do what the bible says (it says to do that too lol), the more happiness I have no matter the circumstance! And I am going to take your advice and work towards that sub conscious joy that you put so eloquently. I knew you were a follower of Christ the first video I watched of you years ago. Ive had the pleasure of watching YOU grow too! Thanks for all of the content over the years.
Love you brother.
I really respect that you guys still put our faith on a pedestal, I can only assume God helped you to this position of influence for just that! Merry Christmas and God bless!
Or maybe it's because he worked really hard and earned that position of influence, and his faith is just one component of what makes him who he is. Lots of people share his faith and don't achieve what he has achieved. And plenty of others have reached levels of success similar and even greater than John and they have either zero faith or faith that is antithetical to his.
Long story short, while his faith has undoubtedly helped him along the way, it is certainly not the only reason for his success and to assume so discredits all the hardwork he and his team have done.
@@socalrcr 100% aggree
Someone who is strong in their faith would do so without hesitation. I’m not religious but respect the ideas. It’s sad that we live in a world that just stating your faith is a respect worthy thing, as if it’s brave. Anyone should feel pride and confidence in their religion in a nation with the so called freedom of religion.
Joy can be had regardless of the situation and circumstances. Paul and Silas praising God in prison while bloodied and bruised. Thanks for sharing John.
During times of trial I set an alarm on my phone for every single day, right in the middle of the afternoon at 3pm to remind me to be grateful. So every day at 3pm, I stop what Im doing and think of a handful of things to be grateful for. On bad days, I start with the breath in my lungs and the heartbeat in my chest and it grows to the food on my plate and the sunrise and the good people in my life and before I know it Ive recited just a library of things that I can be grateful for and more times than not Ive been rescued from the pits of despair and this negative outlook by the simple act of thanking God for what he's given me and choosing to be grateful.
What a great idea! Thanks for sharing that!
I knew Cori when I was young, she came to my church often. I consider her among my greatest heros.
Stranded away from family this Christmas because of the weather. Thank you for this video John
Merry Christmas to you - I wish for your sake that you could be with your family. Sorry about that!
@@caleb2364 thank you, Merry Christmas to you also
John - no beard does make you look young younger. Now your not harried! Not joking now - Love this message. Joy is what I need this year. Praying for all of you all!
Happiness is serving Y'shua/Jesus and being in the Will of God! The World offers me nothing which is lasting! Very good video, John! The message at the end was powerful!
Even moreso, GIVING GOD THE GLORY IS JOYOUS TOO.
May you all have a VERY MERRY, JOYOUS,HEALTHY, BLISSFUL IN THE LORD: 🎄✝️🕎🎶🎁☮️🎵🌴💖🌟⛄❄️🎂B-DAY CAKE FOR JESUS BIRTH
Gratitude is the attitude that leads to happiness.
Such a great video.
What usually pulls me out of the muck are the small things. My wife putting coffee grounds into the pod for me, seeing a few birds eating the seed I put out for them, and helping my friends and family. I always make sure to see the beauty and joy in the little things.
Isaiah 6:8 & John 15:13.
I love the seemingly small things my wife does for me
Happiness is fleeting. Joy comes after the trial.
Seeing how you make it your personal mission to tell those who will listen the answer to their life's questions is Jesus is such an uplifting moment for me. Thank you for using your voice on this platform to encourage people towards Him
The way you talk about joy and peace of mind makes me think towards some stoics who believe the ultimate goal in life is the pursuit of serenity.
Amen, being content in what the Lord has given you. Merry Christmas and God bless.
We’ve never met, but you’re a friend and mentor to me John. You’re a great man.
You are a beautiful man......I’m grateful beards grow back.
In all seriousness, I’m grateful for men like you who step out in faith, sharing their faith, and helping others to do the same. May God continue to bless you and your family.
Joy is much deeper and different than happiness.
Words of Wisdom. Thanks.
With or without the beard, you are a beautiful human being! 😂
Thank you for all you do, including making us laugh.
Great message John!
Merry Christmas!
I cant ever recall being happy for any extended period of time.
Merry Christmas, John. Pray unceasingly, Patriots!
Habbukuk 3:17-18 describes what true joy is in it's essence.
The elusiveness of happiness. Very interesting. Been thinking about this video for 3 days. And now it is really sinking in. I believe that you really helped me out on this Christmas John. Thank you!
We need to count our blessings daily--literally. List them, think about all the good there is in our lives; it's amazing how it can change your perspective. Serve others, even if it's just smiling, letting someone in when you're driving, whatever.
I found that Happiness often times is situational; Joy is founded in a relationship with the Lord who never changes. May you all find much Joy this Christmas. Thanks for your message, John…it is a good reminder of what’s important in life!
well said
Interesting idea 👍
Happiness is not a goal or a destination. It is the byproduct of a life well lived.
Everyday I wake up and make a conscious effort to choose joy and live in gratitude! Thanks John. God Bless
Thank You for sharing the peace and joy of salvation through Jesus!
Merry Christmas to you and your family. Even though you're a Ranger I still respect you. 😁
'Rah!
How I try to be happy? I am grateful for the small things. And I know that "This too shall pass." Nothing is forever, tomorrow is not guaranteed and every day above ground is a blessing.
My mom was on hospice for 6 months this year; my niece had her baby around the same time mom went on hospice. Her baby hepled me keep my sanity. I taught her to roll over, crawl, and i’m working on her walking now. That’s happiness.
May all of you and yours have a very merry Christmas.
John you’re absolutely stunning. Beardless John deserves a first class movie role
You can actually get joy for free very easily. Go to your local food bank, animal shelter, church, YMCA, or whatever and volunteer your time. The feeling you get from helping others is unlike anything else.
“It is more blessed to give than to receive.” (Acts 20:35)
💯 Volunteered at the county animal shelter, (&church food bank) after my dog passed. ✌️
our Christmas tradition is to watch "It's a Wonderful Life". Jimmy Stewart is a legendary actor and it really reminds me that no matter the circumstances, the only thing that matters are the ones you Love.
Lol I crawled in a hole and binge watched the new jack ryan season. It was great. But worthless compared to my time spent with my family. I've always worked Christmas eve and Christmas (steel mill euro work) first time in 6 years since I could say I'm home for Christmas. Still broke. Everyone is sick but we're grateful. Jesus Christ is still foreign to a lot of people but has a wondrous attraction to me. Thanks for these videos you put up. They really are inspirational during this season in my life
Happiness is a choice. Joy is a skillful gift
Praise God and thank you Jesus ❤
Merry Christmas Warrior Poets!
When I saw the title of this video, I thought "Jesus" and as I was about halfway through the video I was thinking to myself "HELLO, Jesus is the answer!" 😆
Thanks John, great video 🤘🇺🇲
Same brother
I’m glad he decided to share this because everyone needs to know Jesus is the answer.
John that was wonderful proclaiming the source of your eternal joy, is a personal relationship with Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior! My favorite Corrie Ten Boom quote," There is no pit so deep, that God's love is not deeper still." May God continue to immensely bless you and your family, my dear Brother in Christ.
Amen. Jesus, Joy, Content and gratitude.
“Glory to God in the highest,
And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!” -Luke 2:14
Thank you, John and everyone from WPS
Merry Christmas to everyone.
Amazing message John, thank you for the wise words. Joy to the world and Merry Christmas everyone.
Merry CHRISTmas, WPS folks and all reading this!
If I could just be as popular as John’s beard, THEN I’d be happy
I want to thank for the things you post! I am a 20 plus year LEO and Marine Vet. You positively made encroachment an your faith in God makes me feel humble! Keep up the good fight brother!!!
Merry Christmas brother! I have found peace and solitude through Christ since I was much younger. As I was watching your video I’m saying happiness is different than peace and then you broke it out and spoke of our Savior! Perfect. Wishing you and yours the best this Christmas and a New Year filled with blessings and good health! Keep the videos coming, love em.
Gratitude is a precursor to happiness.
Well said.. merry CHRISTmas to All from.. Southern Colorado🌟 🌨❄🥶
Amen brother, Love you! And God Bless! ✝️🙏🏻❤️
Hi John, Check out the contrast between Zechariah's response to the news of his unexpected baby and Mary's response to her unexpected baby... and then look at Elizabeth's proclamation to Mary, that Mary is Happy (or blessed, depending on translation) BECAUSE she BELIEVED! Faith in the unshakable leads to unshakable JOY!
This is a good point to remember.
I'm grateful that John and his beautiful, beautiful face recorded this video.
That's what christmas is all about, charlie brown!
Love is key to all happiness 🤙
I love the fact you are not afraid to show your faith. For through God ALL thangs can be done. Keep up the good fight
A great message John, thanks.
"Sunday, Monday happy days. Tuesday, Wednesday, happy days..." Just couldn't get the "Happy Days" TV show out of my mind. Thanks John for the very important reminder that happiness isn't something you achieve, it's a decision. Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you John, your family and your whole team at WPS.
All you ladies and gentlemen that watch John and are a part of this society God bless you all as well.
I am grateful for you all and this network of like minded people. 🤘🏼
I'm not into Jesus, but I'm into the message. Which is why I always love listening to you. Merry christmas
Grow your happiness and celebrate the season with with your family and friends. As Tiny Tim said, 'A Merry Christmas to us all; God bless us, everyone!”
Such an inspiration. Always happy to see more content from a God-loving man.
Thank you for being an advocate for God & family. As someone has already noted, “the world needs a ‘stable’ influence.
Merry Christmas & God bless.
Merry Christmas everyone!! Money can't buy love or happiness. It's about your attitude. If you give your power over to people, places,or things that don't "deserve" it.
5k subs or over a million, you still praise God openly. God bless you!
Great job Sir! You make a wonderful point about gratitude, it made me stop and think. I'm grateful for an incredible wife; an awesome son and daughter-in-law; that I'm a Texan and an American. All of those things bring me great joy!
Beard or not, you look beautiful man. Spot on with the message, well said. We have a daughter with disabilities, that shifted our families journey. But God gave us the honor to take care of His princess. Thankfulness brings joy
True happiness is appreciating what you’ve managed to put together, and feeling ok about what had to fall apart for it all to work out how it has…
Thank you for being a bold light to a dark world brother.
I read Corrie Ten Boom's book many many years ago and in the followings years watched the movie about her life. What an inspiration. There's no doubt that she found joy through her experience, and an experience that we cannot even begin to fathom. So much of what we esteem to do is truly geared towards chasing happiness. Your words of encouragement to be grateful in everything, I believe can lead to happiness and even more importantly, joy. With so much negativity in the world today, your testimony and message brings light into an otherwise dark world. God Bless you and your family and...Merry Christmas.
The sufferings we endure now, makes the things to come that much more joyful.
Its not always happiness, as it is a happenstance thing. But to be satisfied in what you have, even in the small things, will be that much greater when things become great.
Gratitude and Contentment in all things. And in that, it shines through and becomes an inspiration for others in dark times.
