2:35
us open up with a song in a scripture. Amen, what God has
2:43
for me, it is for me. Oh yeah, what God has for
2:54
me, it is for me. Who Yeah, I know where that where
3:09
he will pray me. Where God has for me, it is for me.
3:24
Well, yeah, where God has for me, it is for me.
3:35
Oh yeah, what God has for me, it is for me.
3:46
Yeah, I know where thatad that he will pray me. Well, God
4:03
has for me, it is for me. Yes, it is for me,
4:12
It is for you, paterrece. It is for everyone who is watching.
4:15
Well. God has for us, it is for us, and he
4:20
knows how to bless us. Halllujah, coming from Songs one hundred, make
4:28
a joyful noise to the Lord, all the land. Serve the Lord with
4:32
gladness, coming to his presence with singing. Know that the Lord is God.
4:41
It is he that have made us. Now we ourselves, we are
4:45
His people, and the sheep of his pastron. Enter his gates for thanksgiving
4:50
and his cards with praise. Give thanks to him, bless his name.
4:56
For the Lord is good, his stat fa love endures forever, and his
5:01
faithfulness to all generations. I'm telling you, when it comes to Sums one
5:09
hundred, it says, make a joyful noise unto the Lord. And sometimes
5:15
we forget to do that when we wake up in the morning, praise Lord,
5:19
mother wims. Sometimes we forget to make a joyful noise to the Lord.
5:25
We got to understand that as soon as we wake up, we can
5:29
sing a song. We can say Hallelujah, Thank it Jesus, hallelujah,
5:33
giving God the praise. Because he said make a joyful noise. He wants
5:39
to be love on too. Hallelujah. You know how we want somebody love
5:43
on us. God want us to love on him each and every day.
5:48
And it's good to have a good relationship with God and love on him and
5:54
be there for him because we want God to be there for us. And
5:59
I just thank God for today. I do suppose to have a guest coming
6:04
on. They having technical difficulties, so hopefully they'll be able to get on
6:09
here. But meanwhile we're going to talking about there he go. They're gonna
6:14
Steve. I was praying for you. I was praying for you, Steve,
6:28
So this is our guest today. I am just so excited that Steve
6:33
Horder has been is here today because I have had the opportunity to get on
6:40
his podcast multiple times through the Hallelujah do our good friend Angela Thomas Smith,
6:48
who insta queen of collaboration, and I just thank God. We've been talking
6:54
about real time, what's going on in real life. And I asked Steve,
6:59
I say, can can you come on here and let's talk about some
7:02
things, and let's talk about how your podcast got started and all that stuff.
7:06
So I'm going to turn it over to Steve so he can let us
7:11
know why did he choose to start a podcast. Well, I started podcasting
7:21
about two years ago, and I had two podcasts at that time. One
7:28
was called Holding On Withholder. It was just to play on my last name,
7:32
and it was an interview thing, kind of like what we're doing here,
7:35
you know, one on one interviews, And I did one out excuse
7:41
me, one hundred interviews and then I archived and it's still available on my
7:46
channel. And I had another one called Conversations about America. We just talked
7:53
about American history. We had a panel and we talked about American history and
7:58
that was good. I've done that for a while. For some reason,
8:01
it just didn't take off, so we didn't do it for too long.
8:05
More thing, about three months ago, I started writing O Conversation, just
8:11
one on one kind of like this show. And you're going to be my
8:13
guest here very very soon, and I'm looking forward to that. And the
8:18
night crew, the one you just mentioned. We have a panel of authors,
8:22
podcasters and public speakers and presidential candidates and just sort of get on everybody.
8:28
We talk about current events and news and have a good time. So
8:33
I love podcasting. It gives me an opportunity to be some really nice people
8:39
like yourself, and it kind of gives me something to do. I'm retired
8:45
and got plenty of time, and it's a hobby, you know. I
8:48
don't try to make money off of it. I don't try to do anything
8:52
other than just meet and get people and have a good time, and that's
8:58
about it. I just left podcasting for that reason. That's awesome. And
9:05
you see, you had two previous podcasts and now you have the current one.
9:09
So what have you learned from all of them. I learned that there's
9:16
a lot of different people in the world, from different places and different backgrounds.
9:20
And I mean I already knew that, of course, but it's fun
9:24
just to meet people, talk to them, find out where they're coming from.
9:28
You know, what they went through in their life, you know,
9:31
and how they got through their struggles and how God has worked through them through
9:37
the years. And a lot of us, you know, we have a
9:41
lot of stories we can tell about when things weren't going so well that God
9:48
brought us through it. You know, that's my story. I started out
9:52
in life in a very bad way. We wasn't really dirt for we certainly
9:58
wasn't anywhere close to being middle class either, you know. And my parents,
10:03
they grew up during the Depression. They had both had a sixth grade
10:07
education, so, you know, and it was hard. They've done the
10:13
best they could, but they didn't have a lot of things that they can
10:18
teach me. And I had a n act for getting in trouble in those
10:22
days, and I stayed in trouble when I was a teenager and ended up
10:30
having a big alcohol and drug problem for a few years, which caused me
10:35
a whole lot of trouble. By the grace of God, when I was
10:39
twenty nine years old, I didn't take my last drink, in my last
10:43
abuse, my last rugs. I've been cleaning us over since then. And
10:48
you know, it's I say that just because it gives me an opportunity to
10:54
tell how God can take a mess and turn it into a message. You
10:58
know. It's what I like to say. Everybody wants to be an overcomer,
11:03
but they don't want to overcome anything, you know, and it doesn't
11:07
work that way. So yeah, when I was eighteen years old, I
11:11
was convinced that my life would ever read and I think that I was just
11:15
washed up. Well I'm not a passban, but it never was. Really.
11:18
I just felt like there was no future for me and everything was really
11:22
really going to be horrible forever. And for a while it was, you
11:26
know, until I meant to write. People that had to write skills and
11:33
knew how to help me, and they did, and by the grace of
11:35
God, here I am. I mean, I been able to do a
11:37
lot of things since I since I got clean and sober back then, I
11:43
got a college education, you know, and went into the ministry and a
11:48
lot of really cool things. Over the years, I met a lot of
11:52
great people. And yeah, I'm doing okay, I'm blessed. I'm blessed.
12:00
That is awesome. I thank God that you know, you are an
12:05
overcomer. I thank God that you are here to tell your story, because
12:09
a lot of times, the enemy, he will play on our minds and
12:13
tell us, you know, you're this or that, and if we believe
12:18
that, then we'll be stuck on that, you know what I'm saying.
12:22
And so I just thank God that you know, he came to your rescue.
12:26
You're free, and you were able to encourage somebody because you know,
12:31
sometimes we think people are not watching us, you know, and they are.
12:37
They watching every move we make to see if we're going to stand or
12:41
fall or break or you know, give up. But you didn't give up,
12:46
and I thank god you didn't because here you are today and I was
12:50
able to meet you, and I'm telling you you are a wonderful man that
12:54
I know for so far. And I just thank God for the night crew
13:00
because you know, a lot of people don't want to talk about the different
13:03
issues that are going on today because sometimes it gets kind of touchy, and
13:09
sometimes people they get so upset they start arguing and fussing. But one thing
13:15
about your podcast that I have learned that I have seen on there. You
13:20
have all people from everywhere coming on there to give that point of view,
13:28
and sometimes you get heated. But but what gets me, what cracks me
13:39
up, though, when it does get heated, you're so calm. You're
13:43
so calm. You don't yeah, you don't scream, but you're very calm.
13:48
You say, okay, let's move on. And so how did you
13:52
get there to the calmness? Well, I've spent a lot of years living
14:00
in my mind and in my reality, and everything was the mess. Everything
14:05
was the drama. Everything was really really horrible. And I guess you can
14:09
say, you know, when I got clean and siver, I had to
14:13
learn any way to live, and I had to learn to live life on
14:18
lifet terms, not on my terms. So I had to come to the
14:24
conclusion that every single day somebody was going to say something or do something or
14:31
both that I didn't like, and I might as well be ready for it.
14:35
I mean, that's just reality, you know. So I learned that
14:39
it's bess for me if I just try to keep an even kill through a
14:43
day, and I'll get too incited and over the good things but enjoy them,
14:48
would be grateful for him, you know, and not let the bad
14:50
things get to me. And that's just help me. I guess, yeah,
14:56
because a lot of people, you know, I raised six children and
15:01
they all grown, they all are adults. And when when it was teenagers,
15:07
who let me tell you, and a lot of people always say that
15:13
you should do this, you should you should do that, you know,
15:16
and I said, no, calm down, calm down, because the Bible
15:20
told us to train up our children. If we're going to train them up,
15:24
we gotta do what the word of God says, it says speak life.
15:28
And so when different situations would come up, people wanted me to get
15:33
upset. They wanted me to scream and holler for what so I can have
15:37
moret attack, so I can pass out, so I can get sick.
15:41
You know, I had to calm. I had to think it's just worth,
15:48
you know, worth my health because sometimes children will push buttons. You
15:54
know what I'm saying that who you have to go pray and I had to
16:00
pray many of times, Lord give me strength, and I had to use
16:07
what the Word of God said, is said, speak life. And I
16:10
had to tell everybody. I said, I don't care what soon and so
16:14
is doing. We're going to speak life and everything we see. I don't
16:18
care how bad it looks, how bad it sound, I don't care what
16:22
they're doing. We're going to speak life. And you have to train yourself
16:27
to do that. And so I'm glad that you said that you was looking
16:33
at life and you just you said, wait a minute, Okay, this
16:36
drama, but I gotta let this go. I can't let this overtake me.
16:41
And we have to show people that because sometimes you know, we can
16:45
talk to people and tell people all the time, do this and do that.
16:48
But people watch us, they watch your lives, they watch how we
16:52
deal with other folks. And so one thing I can say that when out
16:59
was on your podcasts and the different people is going back and forth with their
17:03
opinion, you was very calm. So I'm telling you, I just love
17:07
how you keep your composure and you say, okay, everybody, let's get
17:11
back. Yeah, because because sometimes I'll be watching podcasts, people be going
17:21
off, they be screaming, they be hollering. But you you're very calm
17:26
and collective, and I thank God for that because you are a good example
17:32
of how to you know, orchestrate a group of people, because sometimes a
17:37
group of people they don't know how to, you know, be settled and
17:42
they don't know how to you know. Okay, let's calm down and let's
17:48
move on and get to the next subject. Because I and I like that.
17:52
I like how what you have done. So right now we're gonna take
17:55
a break and we're gonna come back. Aspiring Author's Magazine is a founding sponsor
18:08
for doc Crew podcast. Get featured inside the magazine. Okay, so you
18:18
are an author, I am, so I would like for you to talk
18:22
about your books and what has encouraged you to, you know, write books,
18:27
and who inspired you to write your books. I think I got inspired
18:36
in junior college, and I've never really been writing anything before, but somehow
18:41
I got talked into writing something for the library newsual hatter each month, and
18:48
so I started writing columns and really didn't know anything about it, but everybody
18:53
started telling me how much the Georgia and now I should write and kind of
18:59
surprised me, you know, so that encouraged me. And for a lot
19:03
of years I thought, well, you know, I loved to write a
19:07
book. I would love to write a novel. You know, it's a
19:11
good fictional story. And I thought about it for a few years and played
19:15
around with it. That mind him one day and I just realized, Okay,
19:18
now's the time to do it. So I did. And that was
19:22
about thirteen books to go written, a few nonfiction, a few well mostly
19:29
nonfiction, but a few fictions, and one of them was autobiography called No
19:34
One Walks Alone or I talked to you about my experiences with alcoholism and anxiety
19:41
and depression and how I got through all that and and way God really showed
19:48
out getting me through letting me accomplish things that I never would have even dreamed
19:52
of. I mean, I've had opportunities, and I well, I've blown
19:57
a lot of opportunities in my younger days, but since then, I've had
20:00
chances to do things that I never really thought that I could do. And
20:06
you know, it seems like ninety nine percent, well ninety nine four nine
20:11
percent of the good things, the really great things that happened to me,
20:17
I had absolutely nothing to do with. God just kind of put it there
20:21
and I just kind of, okay, I went on with it, you
20:23
know, And that's just the way he is, as you know, doesn't
20:30
surprise you. But I'm just grateful that I've had opportunities that I've had and
20:37
I've been able to get it. You know. I first quit school when
20:41
I was fifteen, totally convinced I knew everything that I needed to know in
20:47
life. I mean, seriously, I really believe that at that time.
20:52
But I'm grateful. But you know, I was able to grow up and
20:56
get my head straight and get to college education. Ended up more college degrees
21:02
my eyes, was a doctor in the ministry. And I'm really really I
21:04
don't say that to brag. I say that to brag of the Lord,
21:08
you know, I say that to brag of the Lord. But those are
21:14
so many things that I have happened, you know, and all those that
21:18
have led me to write and help me to write things. And you know,
21:25
reading. The more I read, the more I want to write.
21:26
Also, again, I've always heard if you want to be a good writer,
21:30
you have to read a lot. And that's true. And I was
21:33
one of those nerds. When I was a kid. I read the encyclopedias.
21:37
I don't mean like will cover to cover, but that's what I read
21:41
for fun. I read encyclopedias, and so I learned things. I learned
21:47
things, and I've always enjoyed learning, and I still do. That's awesome,
21:55
you know. And I have a whole book chef full of encyclopedias.
22:03
I love encyclopedias too. I said, if I say, if the Internet
22:07
shuts down, I'm fine because I have all these encyclopedias and you know,
22:12
a Drew z and I can just pick up, pick that up and just
22:18
learn. And I love to learn too. I love to learn how the
22:21
different you know, plants and animals and you know how all these little different
22:26
insects. You know, people thought was kind of crazy because especially my mom,
22:30
she's like, oh my god, something's wrong with this child. I
22:33
used to pick up collect insects and bring them in the house, and she's
22:37
like, what is wrong with you bringing in that house? Get that out
22:38
of here? Because she didn't like insects. She was scared of them.
22:41
But I was looking at her because I was just so fascinated, like God
22:45
actually made this little tiny thing that could actually walk, like this thing moves
22:49
and all this stuff. I'm just so fascinating. And when I was teaching
22:55
and teaching science and all that stuff, I asked the children, I said,
23:00
who likes science? I can't stand science. Everybody in Hope. I
23:04
can't stand science. Science make me sick. I hate science, you know.
23:08
So after they got to finish fuss in talking about they don't like science,
23:11
I said, guess what everything you touch in science? It was like
23:17
what? And I had to explain that to them because sometimes you know,
23:25
we don't know who, we don't know, and you know, And I
23:30
said, science is everything. Sciences matter everything we touched. I said,
23:33
your cell phone, your TV. I said, your soap, your lotion,
23:37
everything everything is science and then they stole like liking science because they have
23:45
to understand. Everybody. I had to understand everybody don't like to pick up
23:48
books. Everybody don't like to read. And so I had to make science
23:52
fun. And when I made it fun, then they were able to pick
23:56
up the books. Then they were able to read. And I said,
24:00
in order to do this project, you have to read. You know,
24:06
you gotta do the steps. And so we I would do simple things in
24:10
the room, in the classroom so they can actually get the concept of science,
24:15
like making jello and making cake, and I say, you gotta follow
24:18
the steps step one steps too, because we're going from one matter to the
24:23
next. One is changing from this, it's changing to that. And so
24:27
they can see how science is a change of things from chemical matter to physical
24:34
and it was like what, I am shocked. So sometimes we have to
24:40
be creative. We're getting children to read because everybody don't like to read.
24:45
I remember I had to repeat first grade because I did not know how to
24:48
read. And right, you know, I don't want to read. I
25:00
mean I know people that they say, well, I don't think i've read
25:03
a book since high school. You know that be my fifties or sixties,
25:07
and I think, really, you know, I mean, I just don't
25:10
understand that it's just a great opportunity to learn things. And nowadays, you
25:15
know, I got Google. I don't have to pick some compedions or dictionaries
25:19
you know where. It's all on Google and YouTube. So that made it
25:23
a lot easier to learn things. I love reading, I know, and
25:30
I tell people, I said, since you don't want to read, especially
25:34
a lot of people don't want to read a Bible, I said, you
25:37
know what you could do. Everything's on audio now. Now you can pick
25:41
up your phone and get on YouTube or Google, you know, and have
25:45
the Bible read to you. So at this time, because you're going to
25:51
conclude and get off of here, but before we leave, can you let
25:53
us know how we can get in touch with you and find you. Sure,
25:57
