Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time. I don't know. Y'all have a sun giving them like the million bucks things and the stubbs good it sEH listening to mother for st Please, I don't join jo. You gotta use turning. You're going. You gotta turn to turn them out. Turn you got to turn out, then turn the water to the water. Got come come on your bahhuh. I shall will a good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, Come on, come on, y'all dig me now. One and only Steve Harvey got a radio show man. Is God good to me? Unbelievable? Yeah? He is? And and I can only attribute it to one thing. It's just been a turnaround in my life. It's it's been me finally making a decision to see what all God has for me, but at the same time trying to be more God wants me to be instead of more what I want to be. That's the trade off. You know, you gotta do something now. You know you know you want God's blessings, you gotta be willing to do something on his behalf. Now. I'm not saying I got it right right now, because I'm just being real with you, I don't. I don't have it all together by any stretch of imagination. I'm trying to get better in several areas. I'm praying about it, I'm working on it, but you know it's and I've I've grown to accept the process. But I'm improving in a lot of areas from day to day. But I'll tell you what, man, my success all is going on with me I can only attribute to this turnaround. And the turnaround was simple. I turned around and started looking at God. That was a simple move. Man. I just turned around and started looking at him, and I was going, Okay, I get it. Now, you created me. You're the creator. You have a purpose for me. I understand that. Now. Now let me just walk in that purpose and let me get to doing that purpose. Now, my purpose and your purpose and their purpose and anybody's perfect purpose could be different, and the way you go about the purpose can be different. And that's the part that I've really grown up to. I've opened up my mind to understanding that everybody's different, nobody's quite the same, and that is not my right or position to judge, but to be of a forgiving spirit and understand and forgive those as I ask God to forgive me. See that's the key. That's the key, y'all. So when you out here and you stuck on this unforgiveness, understand in the large prayer as a segment that says, forgive us our trust passes, as we forgive those who trust pass against us. There's another version says forgive us our debts as we forgive our debt us. It's two different versions, but either one it means the exact same thing. It means simply this, that you are asking God to forgive yours like you forgive others. Forgive us our trust passes as we forgive those who trust pass against us when I crossed the line with you, God handle me the way I handle people when they cross the line with me. You feel what I'm saying to you, See you understand that. That's the breakdown of it. Best way I can give it to you. Forgive us our trust passes as we forgive those who trust pass against us. Forgive me God for stepping over the line, like I forgive those that step over the line on me. That's the hard part, man, that's the part man, I've really been working on. I've been really trying to get that together. And so I've learned forgiveness a lot better over the past five years than I have before, and it's paid off. I can't tell you how I was paid off, because now God's mercy and grace is all over me, because I've learned to become more graceful. Now I ain't graceful like him. I ain't merciful like him, but I've learned to become more more graceful, more merciful, because man, I can't live my life like that. I just got sick of me. Man, you're mad at me. Now I'm mad at you. You hate on me, Now I'm gonna hate on you. I ain't got time for that. Man, Love got you. Look here, you got somewhere to go. Hate take up time. It's time consuming. Hating Trying to seek revenge it's time consuming. It take up way too much of your time to seek revenge When vengeance ain't really yours. That's another one. Vengeance is mine, say if the lord it ain't yours. So now when you go to seek it to take it out, guess what you're doing. You're doing something now, man, Now you off in the area that you've got no business being in and instead of steady climbing your ladder like you're supposed to, you didn't take out time for vengeance to hate. I'm a hater. I'm gonna be a blogger. I'm a blog about so and so. When you're blogging about somebody, and most of these people you don't even know when you're blogging about somebody, what you're doing, what you're hating. It takes time to hate. Man. I just decided, Man, I gotta take all my time and instead of have doing time and being active, I got to be proactive. See some people get that confused, being active and being proactive. Pro is positive. Pro means to move forward. You know, if you put pro in front of most words, it's a positive influence. You know, does the pros and the cons. The pros is the good side, the cons is what can go wrong the bad side. You know, if you're active, that's one thing, But if you're pro active, you're going forward in a positive direction. When you become a pro that means you the best of the best at whatever it is you chosen to be. I'm a pro so somehow, and I know English teacher, grammatical God the word pro a lot of times when you put it in front of something, means positiveness. So now a lot of people think that if you just active something all to happen. Well, I'm doing something, and that's what happens. Man. We just find ourselves doing a lot of busy work that really ain't bout nothing. It ain't going the way, It ain't got no direction or no purpose because we haven't tried to find out the direction of a purpose. So you wake up and you and your wheels are spinning. You a hamster on a tread meal. You're running real fast, but you're just going in the same spot. You understand that's because you're just out here being active instead of proactive. Why don't you get God in your life. Why don't you turn and face your creative and find out how to become more proactive so you can do things to move yourself forward. How you can get your life off the ground and get off the tread meal and really get it rolling in the direction that it need to be going. Man, I'm telling you, God can make that change for you if he see you making the change for him. See the whole key man, the whole kids. You got to be willing to do something. You got to give God something to ask. Bless me God, and then you go sit on your couch and you ain't trying. Okay, bless me God with what what? What? What are you working with? He can't have the people hire you if you ain't put the app in. Come on, man, the blessing comes when you make a proactive step, when you try to do something on the positive side. Look, man, I'm gonna quit messing around with all these people. I'm gonna start going home. I'm gonna leave these women loan out here. You got to say, all right, man, I ain't going over that at night. I just ain't gonna get Then God can work with you. God help me stop seeing all these women. But you steady going over there calling them setting up stuff. Can't nobody help you because once you get over there, you already know. See, you gotta get proactive. You gotta do something yourself. You make one step, he'll make two. That that's the key, man. So come on, y'all, you're listening show. Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome, welcome, welcome, We are here, we are live.

Does he treat you really well? To treat the kids great? How is he as a man? You can work through some of these things? You know some things you can do to speed of the process. I don't know, Okay, all right, Felicity moving on to Carolyn. In Making Georgia, Carolyn says his luck would have it. I'm broke again at the wrong time of the year. I was talking to my coworker about my issues, and he said he can help me out if I showed him two things. The two things are right under my chin, and he wants to see them. I've never been propositioned like this, but he said he'd give me two hundred dollars and that would help me get my little girl that bite she wants. Is it so terrible if I show him what? If he wants to pay to see more? What's your? What's you? What you think is going to be leading to? This? Is to see what you're willing to do? Now, if you do this for two hundred dollars, he already know he got five hundreds. I mean, right, heywand you go in there and tell your little girl. When't getting no damn bike this year? You know what I mean? Is I heard that bike? Oh you working? I heard stuff like that bike? Bike? What's wrong with the bike you got out there? You talking about the one you gave me from the construction site. That bike, Daddy, that's never been new, like a new bike? Well, I want a new car. You don't see, no, he don't see one sitting out that day. Yea. So every time I asked him for something, he every time I told my daddy I wanted something, he told me something he wanted. I want a new bike, I want a new car. Yeah, I want to go home. Well, hell, I want to go home too, but now I got to go to work. So you're little ask and eat what they do with what I said. So, Carolyn, if you're getting something from this, okay, I mean if you show him to him for two hundred dollars, the next offer fit to be five, what you gonna do? Yeah? And they work together, so that's really not cool. It's inappropriate, yeah, really all the way, but two hundred dollars that ain't no, yeah, yeah, a hundred dollars each? Oh good, yes, sir it up? Yes, yes, cool. He's horrible, all right? Misty and rust and Louisiana says, I'm forty years old and I purchased my first home for my son and I my son is fifteen years old and refuses to do the yard work for me. He told me that I need to get my boyfriend to do it, since he's always over there. I lit into him when he spoke to me that way, and I called my father to come and talk to him. My father sided with him. I expected my son to have pride in his home, so am I wrong to demand that he do the yard work at this house. Well, I'll just stand and what you're saying, you're exactly right and feeling what you're feeling. But your fifteen year old son going, so what this lady is, dude's coming over here sleeper with my mama. Seeing fifteen, He got some feelings about that that you have an addressed. The fifteen year old boy is jealous that you're in this relationship with this man, and he trying to figure out what's the value him because he don't see him doing nothing step sleeping with his mama. That's the problem you have and them feelings ain't feeling to leave that boy no time soon. So the conversation you should have really is with this man of yours as to what kind of example he's setting for your son, because all boys want to be some type of man. It's gonna be a good man or bad man. Right now, that's the example of manhood that's been put in front of him, and he don't see much of a man coming out of him. Was that if you went to the bad if you went to the boyfriend and said, I wish you talk to my son, maybe y'all could do it together something It would mean a lot to them, and then you can finally see what you're dealing with, which don't sound like much of nothing. All right, thank you, Cello. Coming up at the top of the hour, we'll have some entertainment and national news for you. Right after this, you're listening to Steve Harvey Morning Show.

The District of Columbia has filed suit against two white supremacist groups, the Proud Boys and the Oathkeepers, for their alleged part and the fomenting the deadly attempt to take over of the US Capitol Building January sixth. DC Attorney General car Racing says his battle plan is simple. While some desperately want to rewrite history and sweep the events of January six under the rug, the District of Columbia and its residents have chosen to speak truth through this filing, through this complaint, through this case, and the AG says that the truth is being delivered by way of the reams of text messages and social media post which he says clearly reconstruct both groups action in advance of the insurrection. This also marks the first effort by the way of a government agency to hold somebody civilly responsible and to seek damages for what happened. Meanwhile, the Full House is recommending criminal contempt charges against Trump's White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows for refusing to cooperate with the congressional probe into last January's violence. A neural pathologist in Boston says that after studying the brain tissue of former pro ball player Philip Adams, that Adams was afflicted with CTE that's chronic traumatic and cephalopathy. CTE is linked to concussions and repetitive head trauma from football and other contact sports.

This is a mystery, and after almost forty years, the remains of a body in Twinsburg, Ohio, have officially been identified as a man who was briefly a member of the OJS. Frankie Little Junior was a musician and composer who worked with Eddie Lavert and the others in the mid six sixties. According to the acron Beacon Journal, Little's remains were found in nineteen eighty two in a garbage bag behind a machine shot. However, they couldn't be identified at that time. However, with today's upgraded DNA technology, the remains has finally been identified as his. The OJ's issued a statement saying that Frankie Little came with us when we first ventured out of Cleveland travel to la but he was in love with a woman in Cleveland. He missed us so much that he went back to Cleveland. That was in the mid sixties, and we had not heard from him after that. We wish his family and friends closure to what appears to have been a very, very sad story.

Buckle lupat, hold on tight, We got it taut you here. It is the Strawberry Letter, subject to goodness and mercy. Dear Stephen Shirley, I've been married for four years and I'm not the kind of wife that snoops around to see if my husband is talking to other women. I know for a fact that he's talking to other women, and I pray that his commitment to me can withstand temptations. I was married before, and my ex husband and I are cordial to each other, but whenever I talk to him, my current husband is around. I expect the same courtesy from my husband if he should ever talk to one of his ex girlfriends. But I think he may be sneaking around with two of his exes because he has different ring tones for two of his ex girlfriends and their numbers are saved under cute pet names. One of his exes has Marvin Gay song Mercy Mercy Me as her ring tone, and she saved as Mercy in his phone. In he has a song touched Me Tease Me by Case as the other exes ring tone, and she saved as Goodness in his phone. I'm not proud of how I found out about this, but I got his best friend to spill the beans. When he came by the house to wash my car using his mobile detail service. I started grilling him about my husband's ex girlfriends, but only after he told me that I'm the most special lady my husband ever dated. I asked him about the ex'es, and this fool said, oh, Goodness and Mercy. I laughed, and he kept talking and said, that's what my husband called them. That conversation led me snooping through my husband's phone and finding both Goodness and Mercy and seeing the ring toned Do I ask him why they're still saved in his phone like that? Or should I trust him until he gives me the reason to believe that he's sneaking around on me? I think you are to have a reason, And you know, I just got to ask you, how much more proof do you need? I mean, do you want to catch them in the act or whatever they're doing? I think something is definitely going on. His friend pretty much confirmed that. I mean, I know that's what your intuition is telling you. That's why you wrote us that he's doing something with these women. And of course this shouldn't be with the married man. Why is he hiding their real names? Why do they have code names on his phone? What's with the different soundtracks when they call? I mean, there's some secrecy, And yes, I'm sneaking around, going on something, and he's definitely given you a reason to snoop. So what you're doing is okay as far as I'm concerned. Don't feel badly about that. If you ask him, he's probably just gonna lie anyway, and he's not gonna volunteer any information, that's for sure. I say, try to get in his phone, hack his phone, do whatever you have to do, and block a Goodness and Mercy's numbers, because your husband thinks he's slick with all of that, and you have done nothing wrong. Steve Wow Right, Obviously we read two different letters, so here I go. The subject is Goodness and Mercy. Now this woman been married for years and proceeds to tell us a non truth. She says, I'm not the kind of wife that snoops around to see if my husband is talking to other women. The whole letter is about you snooping around trying to see if your husband is talking to other women. The whole letter I know for a fact. Right after she said that, she says, I know for a fact that he's talking to other women, and that I pray his commitment to me can withstand himations it can't, so let's just go on. It can't. I was married before. My ex husband and I are cordial to each other, but whenever I talk to him, my current husband is around. Why y'all talking? You ain't mentioning no kids? Why y'all talking? Okay? And I expect the same courtesy from my husband if he should ever talk to one of his ex girlfriends. Next question, why are they talking? Y'all? Got too much ex talk going on in y'all current relationship? Where too much ex talk? But I think he may be sneaking around with two of his exes because he has different ring tones for two of his ex girlfriends. Now, how do you know that? Did you hear the phone ring has it as? Did you see the name pop up and the song when when the phone right? No? You know how you found this out in the way that you said at the top of the show. At the top of the letter, I'm not the kind of wife that snoops around to see if my husband is talking to other women. You lied. The entire letter is about this, and now let's get big down to it. Because you said you think he's sneaking around with two of his exes because he got different ring tones for two of his ex girlfriends. One of his exes has the Marvin Gay song Mercy Mercy Me. Let's explore this song, Poman Mercy mercy Me. All things ain't what they used to be? Nah? Where do you hear me? All things ain't what they used to be? Nah. That's the key, because when he hears mery mercy mercy me, he is immediately reminded that things ain't like they used to be. No where did all the blue sky well, did all the blue skies guns to this damn thunderstone. We'll let part two of Steve's response coming up at twenty three minutes after be our subject of today's strawberry letter, Goodness and Mercy. We'll get back into it, and we come back right after this you're listening show, All right, Come on, Steve, Let's recap today's strawberry letter, Goodness and Mercy. This woman been married for a year and say she to kind of watch snoops round check see if her husband is talking to other women. But she does, throughout this whole letter do that she talks to her ex husband, but whenever she talks to him, her current husband is in the room. And she would hope that her ex that her husband when he talks to his exes that she would be in the same room. Like I said before, it's a lot of X talk going on, which is the problem with his whole Damn let up ex shit remained where they are X or X anyway. I expect the same courtesy of my husband. But I think he's sneaking around with two of his exes because he got different ring tones with two of his exes and their numbers are saved with cute pet names. One of the exes has Marvin Gaye song Mercy Mercy Me, Mercy mercy Me. All things ain't what they used to be. Na, right there, Na, things ain't what they used to be, Na, because it's changed because he got you now and I don't know what the pet name is. Then he has a song touched Me, teased Me by Case. I don't know that song. I don't. I can't think you want the lyric? Yeah, touch me, teased me, feel me, antle, caress me, hold on, Titan, don't let go? Okay, now it's a little bit faster feel me? So what the hell you think going on? Order? What is you stupid? And then his other girlfriend she saved as goodness is his phone now? A one is named Mercy and other one is Goodness. I'm not proud of how I found out about this well, because you snooped. Guess why? But you got his best friend the spiel of beams when he came by the house to wash my car using his mobile details. Wow. I started grilling him about my husband's ex girlfriends, but only after he told me that I'm the most special lady my husband ever dated. That's caused the car wash. Dude, won't you so he makes it comp you the most special lady your husband? You're my man ever dated. I asked him about the exes and this food said, who Goodness and Mercy? You really thinks he accidentally spieled that. I don't. I think he did it on purpose. I laughed, and he kept talking and said that's what my husband called him. Conversation led to me snooping through my home's husband's phone. Didn't you? I thought? She said, you don't do that. First you grilled his friends. Now you're back snooping through his phone and you saw in the ring tone. Do I ask him why they're still saved in his phone like that? Or should I trust him until he gives me a reasonably, he's not sneaking around me. Lady. At the top of the letter, you said you've been married four years. Four years the car wash dude still know their name. They in his phone as Goodness and Mercy, which means he's got the same number for four years. Ain't nothing changed. But we're here today, uh, for today's sermon on whway you would call Deacon joint or introduce the sermon Goodness and mercy? Please in your own way? How said it? Right now? In this moment, we want you to bring a word people will understand goodness. Goodness stop right there for a minute. Let's just talk about why someone would be named goodness. Goodness is a term use from the moment we are chilling, that's right. Think of all the times you have experienced goodness as a boy, yeah, or your first new bike goodness, your sir, Your first can be ball goodness, your first time walking with an Ausi Cola and a bag of chips goodness, your first time standing against your locker and that girl walked by that calls you to stop believing goodness. When you walk a girl home, she turned around and kiss you on your jaw. Good God a man now that's goodness. That goodness when you bar your daddy's call and pick up a girl and drive down to the lag Yes, and windows are start fogging. Oh but what is that, deacon? That's good needs goodness, and wish she put it on you like you ain't ever had it put on you before. And you see your young ass in the car. I don't know what's happening to you.

I don't make no sense. LeVar and I like Ball daddy, Yeah, I don't know why he would say that. Man. That just makes no sense. Man, And he says publicity, it's gotta be it's got he got to be up to something, man, because Michael Jordan got six championship rings and managed to grades even played the game.

Would't you rather run up twenty flights of stairs? Okay, twenty flights of stairs? You know that'll get you out of breath? Or would you rather fight Floyd Mayweather Floyd money? Maybe I ain't fighting Floyd. That's my ants is up them stairs? Take them stairs. Take it's the top half with whatever. Yeah, I ain't hit Floyd, so you're not even go down a little bit. He's slow, he's slow. It is faster than anything I've ever thrown. Yeah, take these stands, all right, stairs? Floyd? All right, all right, thank you guys. That's would you rather for today? We'll be back with our last break of the day at forty nine minutes after it. I'm, of course, of closing remarks from the one and only are Fearless Leaders, Steve Harvey Freight after this, you're listening here we are, guys, our last break of the day, and it's been a good day. Steve's back on the air with us. Yeah, man, and I really appreciate you all for holding it down and lie of meat. Oh with this crazy travel schedule that I'm on and so far away from home, but you know, different time zones and different responsibilities. I would like to thank the expo team of Dubai for hosting us over there last week. Thank you, yause azing really really appreciative of all the things. I'd like to thank the miss Universal people for housing us in a lot Israel at a successful show the other night. Um, but it's a lot of traveling, a lot of different times zones. Appreciate the audience for hanging in there with us and understanding that this is different, you know. I want to say in closing, though, I think about my life often and how blessed I really am. And this isn't about me. I'm using me as an example, of course, but everybody would take the time out to just think about really, really how good God is? I mean, think about it. I was reading some comments on a post that I had saw of myself. I never know who these things are gonna go out because I'm usually just talking to audience members on a commercial break or something like that on one of my shows, because I made a conscious decision years ago that when people came to see me live that I would try to do more than entertain them. I always try to give them someone some encouragement or some motivational or words, because I know, I don't care who you are. You're struggling at one point with something. Everybody does it. And it's not that I know so much. It's just that I've been through so much and I don't have a problem sharing some of my experiences with people. And so when I'm doing these things that I see released, I didn't. I don't know when they're gonna release. I haven't be reading the comments. Just yesterday on the plane, as a matter of fact, and it was thank you, Steve. I really needed to hear that. Man's great message. Thank you man, I really really need to hear that. And then I ran across somebody who said, don't nobody want to hear them about that God stuff. You was doing all right till you mentioned God? Who is God? Who who are you talking about? And you know how you be going along with it. It's just that one comment that sticks out. I don't care how many fire flames you got next to you, and now you read the one comment, you go, oh, this person right here, And I started to feel some kind of way. But then you know what I really started to feeling. I started to feeling sorry for this person. But because I went wild, Man, how sad is this person's life that they've now allowed the devil to fool them into thinking that there is no God, that God does not exist? I mean, do you understand that the devil has you right where he wants you at this point, right here? Because the devil only has one job in life, and that's to rob you of your destiny. And if he can start with a very very common basic thing in us, the belief in God, then I mean, man, he's got you. He's got stranglehold on you because you you won't wear anywhere to go, You have no faith, you have nothing to hang your hat on in times of trouble and disappointment and setbacks and hardships. You just have no way to go. And I just want to encourage people, man to always keep the faith, man, and just think about all the things God has done for you. Man, you may not be where you want to be. Understand that I got it, but take an inventory on where you are, because you do know a couple of ticks, and it could have been worse. I was reading something from an inmate one time, and he was doing thirty years. That's a long time, and I was feeling for this brother. But as I got to reading what he had written, I was reading from a person who was so enlightened. He said, as dimes my consequences may seem, I do realize that it could have been worse. And I went wout. Here's a person who has found something in a thirty years sentence, he said, because actually, I could have been dead. I could have been killed in the act of what I'm doing, he said, but God, through his mercy, allowed me to live. And now I have a life. And even though there's not a lot of freedoms to move around as I please, my mind is completely free, he saw. I'm in here helping other inmates. I'm teaching cats how to read in here. I'm helping people with their defense. We've got a Bible study. He saw I'm in a band. He saw I write all bars with other inmates, and he's a rapper. He was just talking about all the things he was able to do that he never took the time to do when he was out there because he's just so busy committment crime. He just never really took the time out to set down and find out who he was. And I'm just saying that to say, even people who you think are in dire circumstances, when they think about it, can find something to be grateful for. So I'm asking you what can you be grateful for? Like I said, you may not be where you want to be, but hey, listen, what about where you are? What about your family being healthy? What about the home you have? What about to call you drive? What about the job you possess? What about the loved ones you get to see from What about the fact that you can still pick up the phone and call a loved one? How about you being able to make a travel plan. How about you able to go Christmas shopping? How about you buying something online? How about the fact that you're just able to walk around. How about the fact that you enclose in your right mind. How about it that if he thought about it. There's a lot to be grateful for, man, And the more gratitude you show to God, the more things he offers you, the more things he gives you to be grateful for. It's a very very strong principle of success. So y'all, as we approached this holiday season, which we're dead in the middle level, be grateful not for what you can give, but how about just being grateful for what you received. God hadn't done a lot for you. If I was you, I'd spend some time thanking him for Those are my closing remarks. Today we're back. I'm still out of the country. I thank God for safe travels. I mean, man, I travel crazy. I'm a helicopters, boats, airplanes, I'm on all kinds of stuff. Man, My whole God is good man. Oh see y'all in mar Stay with it for all Steve Every contests.
