  Speaker 1: Come on. Uh-huh. I sure will. Good morning, everybody. Y'all
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: listening to The Voice. Come on, dig me now. One
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: and only Steve Harvey. Man, oh man, got a radio show. Yeah,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: I do. God's so big to me, man. I just
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: have to tell you about it. I can't help it.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: It's rather obvious to me how big, how good God is.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: He's absolutely tremendous. He's off the chain. He own one.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: He be clowning. He be just showing out, man. I'm
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: just over here just on the receiving end. You know,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: if you out there, start your mission today. Start your
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: mission today. What are you waiting for? Why do we
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: as people delay what we want or delay the process
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: to begin what we want, our hopes, our dreams, our desires.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: Why won't you start your mission today? Why don't we
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: all decide together that just individually, look, you listening, you
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: got something that you've been dreaming about. You got an
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: ambition of yours that's not yet fulfilled. You got goals
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: you haven't accomplished yet. Everybody has them. Everybody's got them.
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: Everybody's got something that's on the table that they haven't
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: yet attacked yet. What are you waiting for? Start your
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: mission today. Stop the procrastination now. The procrastination is only
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: hurting you, yourself. If you got a goal, an aspiration,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: a dream, and you fall off track momentarily, you can
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: get back to that because God know where you left off. Now,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: you may have to accomplish a few more things since
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: you stopped for a long period of time. But God
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: know where you left off. You can get back on track. Look, man,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: this dream of being on TV since I was a kid,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: it got off track now. It got off track. I
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: just kept it as one of the dreams. And in
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: some real dark moments when it looked like it wasn't
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: going to happen, all I was hanging on to was
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: just to hope that one day it could. But that's
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: what faith is really about. Faith is the belief in
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: things that you cannot see. But faith gives you the
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: confidence to keep hoping, man. Sometimes it just keep hope alive.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Sometimes you heard Jesse Jackson say it. Just keep hope alive. Sometimes, man,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: it's just the hope. I was hanging on the hope.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: And I'm talking about when it got real ugly and
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: funky out there for me, when it looked like I
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: wasn't going to ever make it. And all of the
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: facts was in and everything pointed in the direction. You're
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: not going to make it. You don't really messed up
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: this time. Then I sat there and I just hung
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: on to the hope. But man, that's what I'm saying.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: If you got a dream or an aspiration or vision
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: or something, when you fall off track and you want
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: to go get back in line, God holds your place. See,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: he held on to that for me. He knew I
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: was off track and out of line, but he said, okay,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: here's where we stop. You want to be on TV. Now,
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: when you get it together and you quit tripping and
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: you come and you turn to me, I'm going to
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: hold your place, put you back in line. Then we
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: go and finish the journey. That took me a lot
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: longer to get here than I wanted to, but then
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: it was necessary because I needed all of them mishaps
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: to happen to me along the way. So when I
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: got on the radio one day, which I did not
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: see coming, Steve Harvey got a radio show, y'all. That's
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: why I say it every day. See, because of this
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: radio show that I didn't see coming, now I have
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: stories to tell. I got experiences to share. And I
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: can tell you about me better than I can tell
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: you about anybody. And I done been through enough where
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: it's relatable, where enough people can go, man, that happened
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: to me. Appreciate you saying that. That's what it was for. See,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: I get it now. See, at the time, though, I
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: didn't like what was happening to me. At the time,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: I was really in total disagreement with God on a
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: lot of stuff he was pulling off on me. But
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: in essence, I was really pulling it off on myself.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: But through his grace and mercy, he kept me through
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: all of my mistakes, all my bad decisions, all my miscalculations,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: all my misfires, all the times I knowingly stepped out
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: there and did wrong. He forgave me. He said, because, man,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: if you ever come to me, I have a plan
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: for you. That is going to be far and above.
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: It will supersede everything you've ever dreamed of. That's what
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: I did. I just got sick of me. Good and
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: sick of me. And I turned it over to God.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: And then God started working. And here I am today.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: Nasty through with me yet. Nope. Have I arrived yet? Nope.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: But guess what? The journey is cool. You know, it's
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: like I was talking to this young brother the other
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: day about comedy. He's a really good stand-up, you know,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: this young dude that's really good. He said, man, what
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: is this I feel every night before I go on stage?
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. I just want it
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: off me. I said, sir, listen to me, young dude.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: This thing that climbs on my back every night before
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: I go on stage, I don't know what it is.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: It's got something to do with pressure. It's got something
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: to do with anticipation. It's got a whole lot to
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: do with the fear of falling. He said, what you
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: mean by that? I said, every night I walk out
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: on stage. It's like I'm about to go and step
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: off a cliff. I say it's a sickening feeling. He said, man,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: but you do so well. I said, that's because the
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: parachute opens. I say, but I want you to understand something.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: When I first walk out there, it's just stepping off
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: the cliff. Now, these jokes provide a parachute, which slows
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: my descent when I jump off the cliff and I
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: turn it into a glide. And then I take the
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: audience this way and I swing them back over to
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: that way. We might swing out to the Colorado Rockies.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: We may go down to Miami with this joke. We
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: may take it on out to L.A. And I just
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: swing back and forth till I land softly. The crowd cheers.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: The night is over with. I said, but it's been
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: too many nights, though, when I walked off that cliff
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: and I pulled the cord and the parachute didn't open.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: I said, no, I'm just free falling out there for
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: 30 minutes. Ain't no jokes working. Ain't the parachute didn't open.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: I said, so see, that's what it's like for me.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: And then, you know what I found out? If you
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: don't walked off the cliff in life and you ain't
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: got no God in your life, it's like not having
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: a parachute. You step off the cliff and you just
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: free falling. Now see, we all, now that fall gets
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: you closer to the grave, right? See, we all heading
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: to the grave from the moment we born. But the
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: cool thing about a relationship with God is, When you
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: step off the cliff and you got God, he a parachute.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: You still going down, but it's a nice ride. And
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: God just helps your descent appear more like a rise
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: and more like a euphoric fall. Instead of not having
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: no God in your life and you just walking off
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: that cliff every day, free falling, ain't got no cord,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: you steady pulling, you hollering the whole way because you
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: messed around with yourself and ain't let God come into
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: your life and provide a parachute for you. I would
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: rather have a parachute since I got to jump every
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: day than to not have one. God has been like
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: a parachute for me. Ask me where that came from.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: I can't tell you. But like I always say, most
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: good things that happen in my life that I can't
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: explain is usually him. You're listening to the Steve Harvey
