Given them.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
Black a million bus busy.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Listening to.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Lon't Joy, Yeah, Joy, you know you.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Love you.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Gotta turn.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
I got to turn the mouth turn. You probably got
to turn mouth water the mony up looking me.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Come come on, you'll think, 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.
(02:17):
I can't help it. It's rather obvious to me, how big,
how 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,
(02:38):
if you're out there, start your mission today, Start your
mission today? What are you waiting for? Why do we
as people delay what we want or delay the process
to begin what we want on our hopes, our dreams,
(03:02):
our desires. Why won't you start your mission today? Why
don't we 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.
(03:25):
Everybody's got something that's on the table that they haven't
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
(03:47):
get back to that because God know where you left off.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Now.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
You may have to accomplish a few more things since
you stopped for a long period of time, but God
knows where you left off, you can get back on track. 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
(04:13):
wasn't gonna happen, all I 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,
(04:36):
it's 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
(04:58):
the hope. 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.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
See.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
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 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
(05:34):
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 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
(05:56):
I don't been through enough whereas relatable, where enough people
can go mad that happened to me. Appreciate you saying
that that's what it was for. See, I get it now.
See at the time, no, 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
(06:19):
and mercy, he kept me through all of my mistakes,
all my bad decisions, all my miscalculations, 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
(06:39):
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, good and sick 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 Nope, Have I arrived jet Nope? But
(07:02):
guess what the journey is cool? You know. It's like
I was talking to this young brother the other day
about comedy. He's a really good stand up. 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.
(07:24):
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, 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,
(07:48):
but you do so well. I said, that's because the
parachute opens. I say, but I want you to understand something.
When I first walk out there, it's just stepping off
the cliff. Now, the yolks 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
(08:09):
audience this way, and I swung them back over that.
That way, we might swing out 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
(08:29):
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, 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
(08:50):
a parachute. You step off the cliff and you just
free falling. Now see we all now that fog gets
you closer to the grave, right, 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
(09:13):
God just helps your descent appear more like a rise
and more like a euphoric fall 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
(09:34):
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. God has been
like a parachute for me. Ask me 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,
(09:55):
its usually him. You're listening
