Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, Steve, we are at the crossroads. I guess
you can say the last break of the day and
time for you with your closing remarks.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
You know, I think everybody can relate to what I'm
about to say. I always use myself as the primary
example of all my motivational moments and speeches, because I mean,
who better than yourself? I mean, you know, when you've
experienced something that's quite up when you explaining it to someone,

(00:35):
you know, it's like, you know, hard to have a
golf instructor and the guy that's instructing you to play
golf has never played golf. Or you can't have a
swimming instructor and a swimming instructor don't know how to swim.
It just doesn't make that much sense. I guess you
could do it, but what do they know about it?
So I try to use my own shortcomings, missteps in

(00:59):
life happenings to try to motivate everybody.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
As I see it. One of the things that.

Speaker 2 (01:05):
I've always been pretty good at, and I'm having to
pay attention closely again, is my acceptance of God's will.
You know, it's a funny thing, man, but when you

(01:26):
really really understand how life really really works. Everything is
in order. Even some of the challenges and tests that
you're facing is for a purpose, a reason you're not
having a hardship in your life or a moment of
challenge in your life because it's just happens upon you. No,

(01:51):
there's some value in it. Bishop Jakes was on my shout.
He said, beyond every moment of pain. Pain always leaves
a present behind, a gift, something for you to unbox,
unwrap and learn from it, grow from it, become better
for it, become experienced from it. And that's the gift
that it always leaves. One thing I've learned to accept

(02:16):
is God's will. It's funny, man, But on my Instagram,
I was looking at my vault Instagram where I was,
you know, learning some things about I was motivating someone
on my vault thing. There was a guy who came

(02:36):
to my show and the brother was up in the
crowd and he was talking about his life and how he.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
You know, how he.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
Wanted to start a company and he was having trouble
with starting the company, and it was asking me, you
know what.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
I thought about it, And as he told me this whole.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
Company, I did, And then and he was working at
a job and he had just lost his job and
been laid off and everything of that nature. And he
kept looking at me and I said, well, hey, man,
let me ask you a question. I said, what is
your gift? And he said it's cooking? And I said, well,

(03:24):
why are you messing around selling computer ware? And I
told went on to tell him. I said, look, man,
I said, sometimes this layoff that you have and this
is God's way of getting you to move in the
direction that he has for you. I say, you know,
I wrote did a video about jumping. I said, but

(03:44):
sometimes you don't get jumped. Sometimes you get pushed. I said,
because God is fair. When God wants you to come
around to his way of thinking on seeing his plan,
he can allow for certain things to happen in your
life where you can actually see it the way He's
wanted you to see it all along. And so in
his layoff, it caused him to have to think of, Man,

(04:08):
now that I had his free time, what am I
to do? Well, as I was watching that video today
on my vault in powers Instagram, I'm actually gonna take
it off today and post it on my regular Instagram
because I was really talking to myself at the time

(04:28):
that I was that this video came out was made.
It was made months ago, but it was for me
to hear myself and in this time where people are.

Speaker 1 (04:40):
You know, I appreciate people's concern. Don't get me wrong,
I really really do.

Speaker 2 (04:43):
I appreciate people pulling for me, in praying for me,
in hoping I'm okay, and I really am okay. I
want everybody to know that I am really, really just fine.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
It's just I've been.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
Pushed into the direction that he wants me to go,
and that's all it is. And it's sort of amazing
how this whole thing is unfolding because they are, you know,
the haters out there. They gonna say what they want
to say. But Bishop Olma taught me a valuable lesson.
He said, for those that love you, no explanation necessary.

(05:15):
For those that hate you, no explanation acceptable. So I've
learned to stop talking to haters because nothing I can
say to them is going to change their mind. They
just want to be where they are, but being in
a great place because God has something in store for you.
Remember this always, y'all. When a door closes, the only

(05:37):
reason if you are a personal faith that God allows
the door to be closed in your face on you
because He got another one he wants you to go through.
That's the only reason God didn't bring you this far
to leave you. God really does love you. God really
has your best interest at heart. And what some men
do for evil, God does for good. So somebody can

(06:03):
plot against you, but Isaiah fifty four seventeen is pretty
clear no weapon for himed against me should prosper. It
never has in the past, it never will in the future.
God's promises never comes back void. He does not make
a promise, and it's an empty promise. And if you
believe that, that's how you live, and that's how I live,

(06:23):
and I strongly give that to everybody.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
Don't worry about it, y'all.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
Keep your head up because God got you, just like
he always has.
