Speaker 1 (00:00):
Come on you. Huh huh, I sure will. Good morning everybody,
y'all listening to the voice, Come on dig me now,
one and only Steve Harvey. Man oh man got a
radio show. Yeah, I do. God so big to me, Man,
I just have to tell you about it. I can't
help it. It's rather obvious to me, how big, how
(00:23):
good God is. He's absolutely tremendous. He's off the chain.
He owned one, he'd be clowning, he'd be just showing out. Man.
I'm just over here, just on the receiving end. You know,
if you're out there, start your mission today, Start your
(00:45):
mission today? What are you waiting for? Why do we
as people delay what we want or delay the process
to began what we want? Our hopes, our dreams, our desires.
Why won't you start your mission today? Why don't we
(01:09):
all decide together that just individually? Look you listening, you
got something that you've been dreaming about. You got an
ambition of yours that's not yet fulfilled. You got goals
you haven't accomplished yet. Everybody has them. Everybody's got them.
Everybody's got something that's on the table that they haven't
(01:31):
yet attacked yet. What are you waiting for start your
mission today. Stop the procrastination. Now, the procrastination is only
hurting you yourself. If you got a goal of aspiration
to dream and you fall off track momentarily, you can
get back to that because God knows where you left off.
(01:53):
Now you may have to accomplish a few more things
since you stopped for a long period of time, but
God know where you left off. You can get back
on track. I look, man, this dream of being on
TV since I was a kid, and it got off track.
Now it got off track. I just kept it as
one of the dreams. And in some real dog moments
when it looked like it wasn't gonna happen, all I
(02:17):
was hanging on to was just the hope that one
day it could. But that's what faith is really about.
Faith is the belief in things that you cannot see.
But faith gives you the confidence to keep hoping. Man,
Sometimes it just keep hope alive. Sometimes you heard Jesse
Jackson say it just keep hope alive. Sometimes, man, it's
(02:38):
just the hope. I was hanging on a hope, And
I'm talking about when it got real ugly and funky
out there for me, when it looked like I wasn't
gonna ever make it, and all of the facts was
in and everything pointed in the direction you not gonna
make it. You done really messed up this time. Then
I sat there and I just hung on to the hope.
(03:02):
But man, that's what I'm saying. If you got a
dream on aspiration or vision or something, when you fall
off track and you want to go get back in line,
God holds your place. See. He held on to that
for me. He knew I was off tracking, out of line,
but he said, okay, here's where we stopped. You want
to be on TV. Now, when you get it together
(03:23):
and you quit tripping and you come and you turn
to me, I'm gonna hold your place, put you back
in line. Then we're gonna finish the journey. That took
me a lot longer to get here than I wanted to.
But then it was necessary because I needed all of
them mishaps to happen to me along the way. So
when I got on the radio one day, which I
did not see coming, Steve Harvey got a radio show, y'all.
That's why I say it every day. See, because of
(03:45):
this radio show that I didn't see coming now. I
have stories to tell, I got experiences to share, and
I can tell you about me better I can tell
you about anybody. And I done been through enough whereas
really where enough people can go mad that happened to me.
Appreciate you saying that that's what it was for. See,
(04:06):
I get it now. See at the time, though I
didn't like what was happening to me. At the time,
I was really in total disagreement with God on a
lot of stuff He was pulling off on me. But
in essence I was really pulling it off on myself.
But through his grace and mercy, he kept me through
all of my mistakes, all my bad decisions, all my miscalculations,
(04:27):
all my misfires, all the times I knowingly stepped out
there and did wrong. He forgave me, He said, because man,
if you ever come to me, I have a plan
for you that is going to be far and above.
It will supersede everything you've ever dreamed of. That's what
I did. I just got sick of me. Goodn't sick
(04:51):
of me? And I turned it over to God. And
then God started working And here I am today. Now
He threw with me. Yet no have I arrived yet. Nope.
But guess what. The journey is cool. You know, it's
like I was talking to this young brother the other
day about comedy, and he's a really good stand up.
(05:12):
You know, this young dude is really good. He said, Man,
what is this I feel every night before I go
on stage. I don't know what it is. I just
want it off me. I said, sir, listen to me,
you young dude. This thing that climbs on my back
every night before I go on stage. I don't know
what it is. It's got something to do with pressure,
(05:35):
It's got something to do with anticipation. It's got a
whole lot to do with the fear of falling. He said.
What you mean by that? I say, every night I
walk out on stage, it's like I'm about to go
and step off of cliff. I say, it's a sickening feeling.
He said, man, but you do so well. I said,
that's because the parachute opens. I say, but I want
(05:55):
you to understand something. When I first walk out there,
it's just stepping off the cliff. Now, these jokes provide
a parachute which slows my descent when I jump off
the cliff and I turned it into a glide, and
then I take the audience this way, and I swung
them back over that that way. We might swing out
(06:15):
to the Colorado Rockies. We may go down to Miami
with this joke. We may take it on out to
LA and I just swing back and forth till I
land softly. The crowd cheers. The night is over with,
I said, but it's been too many nights though. When
I walked off that cliff and I pulled the cord
and the parachute didn't open, I said, Now I'm just
free falling out there for thirty minutes. Ain't no jokes working.
(06:38):
Ain't the parachute didn't open. I said, So see that's
what it's like for me. And then you know what
I found out. If you done walked off the cliff
in life and you ain't got no guard in your life,
it's like not having a parachute. You step off the
cliff and you just free falling. Now see we all
(06:59):
now that fog gets you closer to the grave, right, see,
we all heading to the grave from the moment we're born.
But the cool thing about a relationship with God is
when you step off the cliff and you got God
here a parachute. You still going down, but it's a
nice ride. And God just helps your descent appear more
like a rise and the more like a euphoric fall,
(07:22):
instead of not having no God in your life and
you just walking off that cliff every day, free falling.
Ain't got no cord, you steady pulling, you hollering the
whole way because you to mess around with yourself, and
ain't let God come into your life and provide a
parachute for you. I would rather have a parachute since
I got to jump every day than to not have one.
(07:45):
God has been like a parachute for me. Ask me
why where that came from. I can't tell you, But
like I always say, most good things that happen in
my life that I can't explain is usually him. You're
