• 0:56
  Speaker 2: point where I need to be financially and mentally man,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: for real, man, you know, like as soon as I
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: go do something, you know, something bad or something you
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: know I don't supposed to be doing, then it felt
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: like I get right to where you know, well, I
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: get that closer to where where I need to be. Man.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: But you know, I don't want to keep doing it
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: like that because I know the room and everything, man,
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: and I don't want to go back to the good
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: intention day. But I just want to know about how
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: do I stay down for the good side, man, because
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: it's just man, it ain't. It ain't working for me, man,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: it ain't. Man. I don't know if you probably live
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: a life out of live because I'm I know you
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: said you've been through some things, but I but I
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm out there, man, But you know, just
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: let me know something. O Gee, please if you get
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: this man, Yeah.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: See, like this call really touched me, man, it really did.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: So these are my clothes remarks because you know, guys
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: like that man, thirty seven year old, ain't got no
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: real positive male role model in their life. Man, I
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: get it. I get a lot of calls like this man,
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: from people saying, hey, Steve, can you talk to this guy?
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: So Mark, I appreciate you reaching out to me man,
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: showing me that level of respect. So I'm taking this
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: call really seriously. I tried addressing it early in the show,
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: but I wanted to take more time with it, he says.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: He describes himself as a thirty year old father, a
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: thirty seven year old father, you know, and all that
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: good stuff, and he trying to stay down, but he
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: having a hard time. How do you stay down for
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: the good side was his exact quote. How do you
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: stay down for the good side? See? Because what happens,
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: Mark is temptation is in everybody's life. There's not a
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: single person that survives temptation. The only person ever been
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: on the face of this earth that survived temptation holy
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: was Jesus Christ. There was none before or after him.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Period.
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: That's it. So you have to understand, man, that this
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: is a part of the life. Because you have positive
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: and negative, you have good and evil. You got God
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: on one shoulder talking in your ear. You got the
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: devil on the other side talking in your ear. And
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: the devil's job is to rob you of your destiny.
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: God wants you to do the right thing, and you
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: say you because you said you want to try to
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: do the right thing, because you want to be a
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: good man and all that. How do you stay down
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: when it seems so easy to revert back to what
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: you can do, Like if you go do something wrong,
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: it seems to get you the quicker than doing the
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: right thing. Okay, so that's the difference between slanging and
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: working the job. Now, I got slang in this fast money.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: But everything come with consequences. And that's what the devil
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: don't want to tell you all he all up and
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: you see, the devil's job is to rob you of
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: your destiny. So why you slinging man? Look how we
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: got that quick money. But remind yourself of what you
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: already know. You said you don't want to go back
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: to the penitentiary, but the devil want you back in
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: the penitentiary. A lot of stuff happened like that man
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: to rob you of your destiny. Your destiny right now,
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: Mark is to be a good father. So right now,
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: what I'm going to suggest to you is you need
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: to find the right form of motivation. See what keeps
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: me straight, Mark, is because i'dne made it more than me.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: What keep Tommy straight is Tommy that made it more
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: than him. What keeps Junior straight is he hadn't made
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: it about more than him. See, if it's about me,
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: I'd have done a lot of stuff sideways. If it
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: was just about me. But it ain't bout me no more,
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: your father, Mark, You got some people counting on you,
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: depending on you. I recently spoke at a penitentiary in
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: Atlanta Federal Penitentiary. These men in there were heartbroken because
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: they can't be the father to their child that they
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: know they child need. And a lot of them said,
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: the reason I'm here today was because I didn't have
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: no father in my life helping me with some of
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: these decisions. You got to look at your new motivation, Mark,
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: It ain't about just you if you go back to prison.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: What happens to your child, what happens to your family,
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: What you put your mother through, your grandmother through, What
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: you gonna send that child through? When when on school day,
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: Daddy's day or daddy daughter dadd's what they don't get
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: to take theirs because you locked up. If most of
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: these men that's locked up today had the right had
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: to had the right motivation, a lot of them would
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: be locked up today. Ask God to keep showing you
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: the way. Ask God to strengthen you. Keep working that job.
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: It's hard to work a job, man, yeah it is,
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: but it's way harder to go to prison. I'd rather
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: have a job at a drive through window. To be
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: standing there looking out a window that's six inches high.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Come on, man, stay the course. Mark, talk to God.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: He would love to hear from you today. Talk to
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: God like you sent that message in to meet God.
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: Help me hanging that dog. Please don't go back, y'all
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: have a great day today. Talk to God today. He
• 6:39
