Speaker 3 (02:07):
You are listening to the voice, come on dig me now,
one and only Steve Harvey got a radio show.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
I feel it's necessary to explain.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
What I say in the morning because somebody asked me,
what do you mean by that when you say that
in the morning.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
When I say.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Uh huh, it's in response to David Hollister opening the
song by saying, go ahead, big Daddy, go ahead, I said,
uh huh, I show Will. Then I say good morning everybody,
because I was raised a rage. You're supposed to speak
when you come in the room. I'm coming in y'all's room,
whether it's your bedroom, the room in your house, your car,
(02:45):
your office, you know, wherever you're at. I come in
the room or God speaks, I say good morning, everybody.
You are listening to the voice, and then I got
to introduce myself because as a performer, I always felt
my best when I was introduced. No, why would you
walk out on stage anybody introduce you. You can't get
the around of applause. It's just it's horrible. So I say,
(03:07):
you are listening to the voice one and only Steve Harvey.
Come on, dig me now. Now that's old school. I
got that, but that's I was once again. Dig me Now?
Is I want you to feel what I'm about to say.
That's all I'm saying. That's not a bragging thing. You
know you are listening to the voice one and only
(03:28):
Steve Harvey. Come on, dig me now. I'm just asking
you to feel what I'm saying in the morning because
it's part of a promise that I made to God.
See a long time ago, I told God, if he
allowed me to make it, that when I got there,
I would tell everybody I know how I did it,
and I wasn't gonna shortcut it or shade him on it.
(03:50):
I said, if you allow me to make it, if
you give me the strength, the courage, the wisdom, you
gave me a gift, if you let me apply it,
don't destroy myself in the process, forgive me for my
sins along the way, continue to hold and rock me
when I needed. When I make it, I promise you Lord,
(04:12):
when I get there, I will tell everybody how I
made it.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Well.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
This started back in LA when I got on the
radio and I was making it okay. I was doing okay,
but I had to keep my promise to God. My
promise was, if you allow me to make it, I'll
tell everybody how I got there.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
I have to tell you.
Speaker 3 (04:37):
That every day because if it was not for that
grace and mercy, I wouldn't even be here able to
fulfill my promise. Because I've done enough dirt in my life.
Man to not be worthy. He could have easily walked
away from me a long time ago because I had
show walked away from him. See, and I didn't walk
(04:59):
away from him once. I walked away from him a
bunch of times. But guess what, he forgave me a
bunch of times. I'm a living example of hundreds of chances.
His forgiveness and his mercy is available for everybody. It's
the only reason I get on this show every day.
(05:21):
It's the only reason I have the blessings that's come
in my way. It's the only way that the things
that keep happening in my life, man, that I have
no explanation for, is because of His grace and mercy. See,
anytime something good happens in my life and I can't
explain it, that's usually him, he exhibits to me. Remember,
(05:44):
I'm a forgiving god, man. Remember, So when you fall, Steve,
don't lay down there. Don't you lay down there. Don't
you let the devil fool you that because you'd have
made some mistakes that you ain't that you can't do
it because everybody gonna make them.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
There's none her fect, no, not once.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
So get up, keep moving, keep pushing, step on what
you're laying there for. Your daddy didn't raise you that way. Look, man,
my father was just about manhood. I'm gonna just tell you.
My daddy never had a conversation with me about church.
He beat me for not going, but you know a
couple of times, but he wasn't about that. It wasn't
(06:23):
his message. That was my mama's job. My mama taught
me about being saved, about loving the Lord, about giving
your life, about the teachings of Jesus Christ. My mama
was a Sunday school teacher, so I got all of
that from her. My old man ain't had none of
that for me. My old man talked to me about
one thing all day long, hard working manhood, and well
(06:43):
you're gonna get that if you don't get nothing else
from me. He gave that to me, so I got it. See, so,
my father, you say, excuse my language, but you ain't
gonna sit there like no little punk up in here.
You ain't what you're finna do you finnah, get up
and go do what you're supposed to do. Now, stop
all that wine and like some little go and get
the movie. That's how my father talked to me. Now,
I'm just telling you real. It worked for me, though,
(07:05):
And before you start emailing me, that had nothing to
do with homosexuality at all. It's just that was his
term for a man not acting like a man. That's
all it was. It was not a gay reference at all.
I want you to understand that before you start emailing me.
So my daddy wasn't calling that was not a sexual
reference for him. My father talked to us that's what
(07:26):
he meant. I knew exactly what he meant. He couldn't
have meit nothing if he ain't even know nothing about that.
My man clueless when it come to that right there.
So when I was getting down and feeling bad about myself,
my old man, he taught me this toughness. Man, he
gave me this grit, this doggedness, this go to work
and work hard. That's why today, when God does bless
(07:46):
me with something, he ain't got to worry about me
not working hard because that's in me. And when I
get tired, I asked that same God for strift to
keep on doing so I can do the blessing he
got for me. So when you ask me how you
gonna do all this, Steve Harvey, I don't know. I
(08:06):
ain't got to figure that out. All I got to
do is show up with the same amount of faith
of being showing up with God handled the rest of it.
See y'all, Hey man, let me tell you something. I
don't see how you do it. I don't either, Can
I get it?
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Hey man? Newsflash? Let me hear. I don't see how
you doing all that? Steve? You doing this? You doing that?
Can I tell you something I don't either.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
I just wake up with the faith man and trusting
that if he gonna bless me with it, he must
be gonna show me a way how.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
To get it done. See I ain't tripping on that part.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
See, once you take yourself out the how to business,
you can go on and get with it. But see,
if you're gonna trip yourself out with the how to,
you can't think like God can think. You can't figure
like God can figure. So now you sitting up in here,
God Lord, I want this to happen for me. Then
I don't know how I'm gonna do all that.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Well, guess what? You in the way? Now, see you?
Now you in the way because.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
See God ain't asked you to figure out how to.
He said ask and believe. Then he said faith without
works is dead. That's my solution. That's the concoction that
I'm functioning on. All I got to do is accept
the blessing, keep the faith, be willing to work and
believe God can do anything but fail. Why would God
(09:25):
bring me this far to leave me? Why would he
bring you this far to leave you? So why I
get up every morning? I have no choice. I got
to get up in here to rest when I'm running late.
Speaker 2 (09:41):
Man.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
I try to plow through here. Sometime I don't make it. Man,
I got to do a rerun. But I plow through
here because, man, Steve, you're gonna run out something to say.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
No, I'm gonna just keep thinking. Now.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
You can't run out of that, can you, Because you
owe him that. Matter of fact, when I get through talking,
I really ain't thanked him enough.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
