Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, guys, here we are our last break of
the day. Good day, Yeah, good day.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
In closing today, I want to talk about something I
want to impress upon people, the importance of faith. But
I wanted to talk to everybody out there about the
significance and the importance of faith. Look, we live in

(00:29):
such a world today that it is almost not cool
to talk about your faith because of IG and Facebook
and you know all these social media this everybody works
for likes and approval and comments and followers and all
of this, and nobody really talks about how cool it

(00:51):
is to be a person of faith. But it really
really is man And because it gives you a place
of protection when you have faith, it gives you a
place to go when you need direction. It just gives
you an edge I found. Well, Steve, what do you

(01:14):
mean by edge? Well, it's very simple. I can use
myself as the best example. People who have followed me
on the radio show for any number of years. I've
had radio fans for over twenty one years have followed
me everywhere I've gone on the radio. Shirley and Tommy
and Carla and Junior and all of us, you know,

(01:34):
followed us for years at one point in time. You've
seen my missteps get played out publicly. You've seen some
mistakes I've made get played out publicly. You've seen me
had to stand in the face of fire publicly. I

(02:00):
don't think there's a person that has followed my career
has not seen me face public scrutiny and all of
these things that I've had to face.

Speaker 1 (02:13):
I want to tell you something.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
I was able to get through it because I didn't
face any of it alone. I happen to be a
person of faith. I happen to be a child of God,
and so are you. And the fact that I'm willing
to acknowledge that gives me a certain amount of strength
that some people can't seem to muster because they seem

(02:36):
to be in this thing all by themselves. But if
you're a person of faith, you're not in it by yourself.
See the attacks that I've been under. You didn't just
attack me. You attack a child of God. I'm one
of his children, and I'm here to tell you that
you are too, that you can reside under the protection

(02:57):
of His wings, that you don't have to stand out
there and feel like it's just you and you all
alone by yourself because you not. He promised to be
with you in the worst of times, in the best
of times, when you can call on nobody else, you
can call on your faith.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
I've done it time and time again. I'm a living
witness to.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
The fact that God is ever present, that I don't
care what you get yourself into. You ain't gotten yourself
into nothing. God can't get you out of it. I
don't care what it is you going through. You ain't
going through nothing that God don't have the ability to.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
Pull you through. Steve Harvey is a living witness to that.

Speaker 2 (03:37):
I'm just talking to you about faith, man, so you
can get back to being cool with being a person
of faith. Don't worry about what them they say or say.
Don't worry about what them haters say. They have no
say so in your life unless you give it to them.

Speaker 1 (03:51):
And I don't.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
I don't give the Internet no power over me. I
don't give social media no power over me. You can
take this wipe at me if you want to. I'm
not going to respond. I have learned to be still
to let Him do the battle for me. That's hard
sometimes because you know you can correct it with this remark,

(04:17):
or with that remark, or you could think that you
could put something out there. But let me tell you something,
when you respond to these people, you're not doing yourself
any good. When you respond to these people. You know
why because for people who love you, no explanation necessary,
but for people who hate you, no explanation acceptable. I
don't care what you say to a hater. If they've

(04:39):
made up in their mind to hate, there's nothing you
could do. But can I tell you something, it's nothing
they can do either. They can't do nothing to you
that God don't allow to happen. And if God allows
some of this to get through, it's only to strengthen you.
And sometimes God allows things to happen to people like

(04:59):
you and me because he's got a lesson to teach
them other people.

Speaker 1 (05:03):
Because see, sometimes.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
God allows the stuff to happen to you because you
know you strong enough to take it, and the lesson
sometimes ain't for you.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
Sometimes he's trying to show your enemy something.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
I can't count the time he's prepared a table in
front of my enemies. I can't count them. I can't
count the times when I know people have laughed behind
my back. I can't count the times that my faith
has gotten me through. You have this same God available
to you, and I know you do, and I know

(05:34):
you know it, but you got to get back to
being a person of faith.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
That's cool with it. Having faith is cool. It's really
really cool.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
I got no problem telling people that's how I got
to where I am. I ain't got no problem tell
I have no other explanation for you anyway. How I've
gotten through every misstep, every mistake, every public piece of
scrutiny is because I have a.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
Faith in God.

Speaker 2 (06:02):
That it's just it's powerful man, and it gets me
through everything that I need to get through. And He's
pulled me through everything I've needed to get pulled through.
He'll do the same thing for you. Being a person
of faith is cool. Don't ever stop being that, okay,
because God is good?

Speaker 1 (06:19):
All right? Those are my close remarks. Y'all have a
great day today. Hey, listen, talk to God. He loved
to hear from you from me. For all Steve Harvey contests,
