- 0:14Speaker 3: Come on, dig me now, one and only Steve Harvey
- 0:17Speaker 3: got a radio show. I feel it's necessary to explain
- 0:20Speaker 3: what I say in the morning because somebody asked me,
- 0:23Speaker 3: what do you mean by that when you say that
- 0:25Speaker 3: in the morning. When I say, uh huh, it's in
- 0:30Speaker 3: response to David Hollister opening the song by saying, go ahead,
- 0:34Speaker 3: big Daddy, go ahead, I said, uh huh, I show will.
- 0:38Speaker 3: Then I say good morning everybody, because I was raised
- 0:42Speaker 3: a rage. You're supposed to speak when you come in
- 0:43Speaker 3: the room. I'm coming in y'all's room, whether it's your bedroom,
- 0:48Speaker 3: the room in your house, your car, your office, you know,
- 0:52Speaker 3: wherever you're at, I come in the room, or God speaks,
- 0:54Speaker 3: I say, good morning everybody. You are listening to the voice.
- 0:58Speaker 3: And then I got to introduce myself because as a performer,
- 1:02Speaker 3: I always felt my best when I was introduced. No,
- 1:06Speaker 3: why would you walk out on stage anybody introduce you.
- 1:09Speaker 3: You can't get the a round of applause. It's just
- 1:11Speaker 3: it's horrible. So I say, you are listening to the voice.
- 1:15Speaker 3: One and only Steve Harvey. Come on, dig me now.
- 1:19Speaker 3: Now that's old school. I got that, but that's what
- 1:21Speaker 3: I was once again, dig me now is I want
- 1:25Speaker 3: you to feel what I'm about to say. That's all
- 1:28Speaker 3: I'm saying. That's not a bragging thing. You know you
- 1:32Speaker 3: are listening to the voice one and only Steve Harvey.
- 1:35Speaker 3: Come on, dig me now. I'm just asking you to
- 1:38Speaker 3: feel what I'm saying in the morning because it's part
- 1:40Speaker 3: of a promise that I made to God. See a
- 1:44Speaker 3: long time ago, I told God, if he allowed me
- 1:46Speaker 3: to make it, that when I got there, I would
- 1:50Speaker 3: tell everybody I know how I did it. And I
- 1:53Speaker 3: wasn't gonna shortcut it or shade him on it. I said,
- 1:56Speaker 3: if you allow me to make it, if you give
- 1:58Speaker 3: me the strength, the courage, the wisdom, you gave me
- 2:02Speaker 3: a gift, if you let me apply it, don't destroy
- 2:06Speaker 3: myself in the process. Forgive me for my sins along
- 2:10Speaker 3: the way. Continue to hold and rock me when I
- 2:13Speaker 3: need it. When I make it, I promise you Lord,
- 2:18Speaker 3: when I get there, I will tell everybody how I
- 2:21Speaker 3: made it. Well, this started back in LA when I
- 2:26Speaker 3: got on the radio and I was making it okay.
- 2:30Speaker 3: I was doing okay, but I had to keep my
- 2:33Speaker 3: promise to God. My promise was, if you allow me
- 2:37Speaker 3: to make it, I'll tell everybody how I got there.
- 2:41Speaker 3: I have to tell you that every day, because if
- 2:45Speaker 3: it was not for that grace and mercy, I wouldn't
- 2:48Speaker 3: even be here able to fulfill my promise, because I've
- 2:52Speaker 3: done enough dirt in my life man to not be worthy.
- 2:56Speaker 3: He could have easily walked away from me a long
- 2:59Speaker 3: time ago because I had show walked away from him. See,
- 3:04Speaker 3: and I didn't walk away from him once. I walked
- 3:06Speaker 3: away from him a bunch of times. But guess what
- 3:10Speaker 3: he forgave me a bunch of times. I'm a living
- 3:14Speaker 3: example of hundreds of chances. His forgiveness and his mercy
- 3:21Speaker 3: is available for everybody. It's the only reason I get
- 3:25Speaker 3: on this show every day. It's the only reason I
- 3:27Speaker 3: have the blessings that's come in my way. It's the
- 3:30Speaker 3: only way that the things that keep happening in my life,
- 3:33Speaker 3: Man that I have no explanation for, is because of
- 3:38Speaker 3: his grace and mercy. See, anytime something good happens in
- 3:42Speaker 3: my life and I can't explain it, that's usually him.
- 3:46Speaker 3: He exhibits to me. Remember, I'm a forgiving god man. Remember,
- 3:52Speaker 3: so when you fall, Steve, don't lay down there. Don't
- 3:55Speaker 3: you lay down there. Don't you let the devil fool
- 3:57Speaker 3: you that because you'd have made some stakes that you
- 4:00Speaker 3: ain't that you can't do it because everybody gonna make them.
- 4:04Speaker 2: There's none perfect, no, not once.
- 4:06Speaker 3: So get up, keep moving, keep pushing, step on what
- 4:12Speaker 3: you're laying there for. Your daddy didn't raise you that way. Look, man,
- 4:16Speaker 3: my father was just about manhood. I'm gonna just tell you.
- 4:19Speaker 3: My daddy never had a conversation with me about church.
- 4:23Speaker 3: He beat me for not going, but you know a
- 4:25Speaker 3: couple of times, but he wasn't about that. It wasn't
- 4:28Speaker 3: his message. That was my mama's job. My mama taught
- 4:31Speaker 3: me about being saved, about loving the Lord, about giving
- 4:35Speaker 3: your life, about.
- 4:36Speaker 2: The teachings of Jesus Christ. My mama was a.
- 4:38Speaker 3: Sunday school teacher, so I got all of that from her.
- 4:41Speaker 3: My old man ain't had none of that for me.
- 4:44Speaker 3: My old man talked to me about one thing all
- 4:46Speaker 3: day long, hard working manhood. And well you're gonna get
- 4:49Speaker 3: that if you don't get nothing else from me. He
- 4:51Speaker 3: gave that to me, so I got it. See so,
- 4:55Speaker 3: my father, you say, excuse my language, but you ain't
- 4:57Speaker 3: gonna sit there like no little punk up in here.
- 4:59Speaker 2: You ain't what you do. You fin to get up
- 5:01Speaker 2: and go do what you're supposed to do.
- 5:03Speaker 3: That stop all that whine and like some little punkin
- 5:05Speaker 3: gonna get the movie. That's how my father talked to me.
- 5:07Speaker 3: And I'm just telling you real. It worked for me though,
- 5:11Speaker 3: And before you start emailing me, that had nothing to
- 5:13Speaker 3: do with homosexuality at all. It's just that was his
- 5:17Speaker 3: term for a man not acting like a man. That's
- 5:20Speaker 3: all it was he had. It was not a gay
- 5:22Speaker 3: reference at all. I want you to understand that before
- 5:24Speaker 3: you started emailing me. So my daddy wasn't calling. That
- 5:27Speaker 3: was not a sexual reference for him. My father talked
- 5:30Speaker 3: to us that's what he meant. I knew exactly what
- 5:32Speaker 3: he meant. He couldn't have meit nothing else. He ain't
- 5:34Speaker 3: even know nothing about that. My man clueless when it
- 5:36Speaker 3: comes to that, right there. So when I was getting
- 5:40Speaker 3: down and feeling bad about myself, my old man he
- 5:43Speaker 3: taught me this toughness. Man, he gave me this grit,
- 5:46Speaker 3: this doggedness. This go to work and work hard. That's
- 5:49Speaker 3: why today, when God does bless me with something, he
- 5:53Speaker 3: ain't got to worry about me not working hard because
- 5:57Speaker 3: that's in me. And when I get tired, I ask
- 6:00Speaker 3: that same God for strength to keep on doing so
- 6:04Speaker 3: I can do the blessings he got for me. So
- 6:06Speaker 3: when you ask me how you gonna do all this,
- 6:09Speaker 3: Steve Harvey, I don't know.
- 6:11Speaker 2: I ain't got to figure that out.
- 6:13Speaker 3: All I got to do is show up with the
- 6:15Speaker 3: same amount of faith of being showing up with God
- 6:18Speaker 3: handle the rest of it.
- 6:19Speaker 2: See y'all, Hey man, let me tell you something. I
- 6:22Speaker 2: don't see how you do it. I don't either. Can
- 6:25Speaker 2: I get it? Hey man? Newsflash? Let me hear. I
- 6:28Speaker 2: don't see how you doing all that? Steve? You doing this?
- 6:30Speaker 2: You doing that? Can I tell you something? I don't either.
- 6:33Speaker 3: I just wake up with the faith man and trusting
- 6:36Speaker 3: that if He gonna bless me with it, he must
- 6:38Speaker 3: be gonna show me a.
- 6:39Speaker 2: Way how to get it done. See, I ain't tripping
- 6:42Speaker 2: on that part.
- 6:42Speaker 3: See, once you take yourself out the how to business,
- 6:46Speaker 3: you can go on and get with it.
- 6:48Speaker 2: But see, if you're gonna trip yourself out with the
- 6:51Speaker 2: how to.
- 6:51Speaker 3: You can't think like God can think. You can't figure
- 6:54Speaker 3: like God can figure. So now you sit up in here,
- 6:56Speaker 3: God Lord, I want this to happen for me. Then
- 6:59Speaker 3: I don't know I'm gonna do all that. Well, guess
- 7:02Speaker 3: what You in the way?
- 7:03Speaker 2: Now, see you? Now you in the way.
- 7:05Speaker 3: Because see God ain't asked you to figure out how to.
- 7:08Speaker 3: He said, ask and believe. Then he said, faith without
- 7:14Speaker 3: works is dead. That's my solution. That's the concoction that
- 7:18Speaker 3: I'm functioning on. All I got to do is accept
- 7:22Speaker 3: the blessing, keep the faith, be willing to work, and believe.
- 7:27Speaker 2: God can do anything but fail.
- 7:29Speaker 3: Why would God bring me this far to leave me?
- 7:34Speaker 3: Why would He bring you this far to leave you?
- 7:39Speaker 3: So while I get up every morning, I have no choice.
- 7:44Speaker 3: I got to get up in here to rest. When
- 7:46Speaker 3: I'm running late, Man, I try to plow through here.
- 7:48Speaker 2: Sometime I don't make it. Man, I got to do
- 7:50Speaker 2: a rerun.
- 7:50Speaker 3: But I plow through here because man, Steve, you're gonna
- 7:53Speaker 3: run out something to say. No, I'm gonna just keep
- 7:55Speaker 3: thinking it.
- 7:55Speaker 2: Now. You can't run out of that, can you?
- 7:57Speaker 3: Because you owe him that matter of fact, when I
- 7:59Speaker 3: get through talking, I really ain't thanked him enough.
- 8:02Speaker 2: You're listening to the Steve Harvey Morning Show.
