Today's show is pre recorded. Y'all know what time of y'all don't know y'all back a suit, looking back to back down, giving them like a million bucks things. And it's not good to Steve Hart to move together. For Steve, please don't join joining me. You gotta use that turning them. You gotta turn to turn them out. Got to turn out to turn turn the water the water. Come come on your thing, daddy. Uh huh, I show will a good morning everybody. You're listening to the voice, come on dig me now. But it only Steve Harvey got a radio show man. Instead of trying to be about the business to y'all, I'm I'm I'm doing all I can. But you know what's crazy in the efforts that I make. I can do more. And my father used to tell me something when I was growing up. He says, son, when you've done your best, and you've done all you can, sit still for a second and just do a little bit more. Always remember that, he said, When you've done the best you can and you can done all you can think of, he say, sit still for a minute and do some more. And you know what I've discovered in my life. Always have a little more. I ain't ever just out out out completely. I can't take another step. There ain't another breath in me, There ain't there ain't another thought I can produce. I'm never completely out, man. Just take a rest for a minute, man, and then just do a little bit more. And that that. I can't tell you how many times that's helped me get over the top. You know. I was watching a documentary about people climbing Mount Everest and how difficult climbing Mount Everest was and how they have on the hill something called like a death zone or killing zone, where the majority of people run out of oxygen and they have to turn back. Well, what's crazy is it's right in view of the summit. You can actually see the top of Mount Everest from there. But it's but it's that little bit that's left that's the most difficult. Now that I forgot all the reasons why they said most people don't make it from there, and more people have lost their lives in that area. I don't know what it is, but the people that make it to the top of Mount efforts, they all had to go through that same zone or that same area, but they had a little bit more that allowed them to get to the top. You know a lot of people have had accidents up there trying that, So I'm not even really sure if Mount Everest analogy is a good one. But let's just break it down a little bit more. Let's just talk about life. There's a poem I learned back when I host Pledge in its called don't Quit. It goes like this, if I'm make a mistake, I'm just trying to drum it up, So here we go. It says when things go wrong, as they sometimes will, when the road you're trudging seems all uphill, when your funds are low and your debts are high, when you want to smile, but you have to side, when cares are pressing you down a bit rest if you must, But don't quit. For life is queer with his twist and turns, as every one of us must sometimes learn, And many a fellow has turned about when he might have won had he stuck it out. So don't give up. Though the pace seems slow, you may succeed with another blow. Often the gold is nearer than it seems to a faint and a faltering man, And often the struggler has given up when he might have captured the Victor's cup, and he learns too late, when the night came down, how close he was to the golden crown. Success is failure turned inside out. It's your silver tint of your clouds of doubt, and you never can tell how close you are. It may be kneel when it seems afar, so stick to the fight when you're hardest hit. It's when things seem worse that you mustn't quit. I remember it because I had a special method of helping you remember stuff back then. But I remember it at that point. My dad has kept me. You know, we often talk about scripture and everything, and then I don't see how I could live without it. But every now and then, man, somebody has a writing. God puts a writing on somebody's heart that delivers a message man that can help people. I use every motivational tool that I possibly can to climb this letter of success or try to be the best fall and the best husband I can be. I've done a lot of changing over the years, and so have you. But change is necessary in order to grow. If you don't make changes, folks, you can't grow. I was a young man on my set. I kept looking at him and a sharp little young dude just on my set, and he had these dreads and I mean they were they were super long, man, they will well below the middle of his back, I mean images long. And he kept talking to me, and he kept talking to me and talking to me, say, young man, kept talking to him, and I said, hey, man, you know you do you're a huge self, a favor in the business you're in. If you got a haircut, you would do yourself a huge favor. I said, your images everything, man, I said, you keep stopping me in the hallway to try to tell me what you're doing, what you are, but all I see is your hair. Now, I keep trying to figure out what you're doing with all that hair. Man, Now you can feel how you want to feel. But I'm like an employer. I employed people. So when I'm walking through the hallway and I try to think of you traveling with me and you sitting in a meeting with me, I try to imagine you in your suit sitting there talking business with me. And so, just like other employers are, I'm just having a real story with you. So I said, man, you ought to consider cutting your hair. He said, man, mister Harvey, I've been growing his hair side a little boy. I said, how hold are you now? He said twenty eight? I said, well, how long you want to hang on to what you was when you was a little boy? You know, if you started growing your hair when you're a teenager. I mean, you're twenty eight now. And I said, so, let me help you understand something. Let me let me ask you something. What does it do for you? He's a man, it's just who I am. It's I said, so you your have He said no, no, But it's a part of me. I say, that part of you that you're hanging on to. What does it do for you? I just like it? Well, dog, I like ice cream, but I feed that. But if I hang on ice cream and eat ice cream every single day, my body gonna reflect that. What is it that you hanging on to that you don't want to let go of? That's prohibiting you from being what all you can be? See, it's hard to be what all you can be if you want to keep being all you was? Don't that make sense to you? So I can't tell you how many times I've had to change. Change is necessary to grow you can't be all you can be if you want to keep hanging on to all you was. That don't make no sense. How do you go forward? If you keep going backwards? You can't stay here and go there? Do you understand that if you want to go over there, you must remove yourself from right here? Oh? I got right here is comfortable, I got right here is safe. But over there's where the shade is. Over, There's where the fruit is. Over there is where the opportunity is over there is where the mountain of goal is. So why are you stuck on here? You got to leave here to go over there. You can't be all you can be if you want to stay stuck on who you was. Change his growth is necessary. All let's go. You're listening, ladies and gentlemen, playoffs? Everybody, let me have your attention. Today is not gonna be another one of them days. Today is a new day, new day, a new day? What day? Is it? A new day? Day? Gonna be a new game? Is that a song? Day? Something says a song? Oh yes, yes, yes, trying to murder new day brings the reality that song. But it's gonna be that? And tell me I heard you say nude day. I heard a little naked and put a little naked in your day. So that okay, we just got here. We just put our clothes on. Crack it.

And as soon as I walked in, Lord Jesus, what not you? What is you doing? Downhill? Baby? Didn't TV people know you down hill? She went to her wonder and looked out the color. Ain't no police with you? I said, no, ma'am, oh, lord, you want me to call my nephews, I said, for what? So they can watch over you? I said, ma'am, I'm from him. I heard you was, but you don't.

I wanted to make sure I had the right person, Brian. So I'm I'm sorry if if it seemed a little weird to you. Here's here's what's going on on. We've just come up with a new discovery a lot of information that Reverend none of his credentials are true. Everything is false. He's not a minister at all, he never was a minister, and every single wedding ceremony that he officiated is basically null and void. So and I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you and Alphea, even though you think you've been married for nine years, you guys are not married. No, no, no, no, no no. You gotta have the wrong person, because then that then we got we got married by nine years ago. And what I'm telling you is he he never was ordained. He's never been an ordained minister. He's not a minister at all. So when he performed this ceremony, you're a wedding ceremony. He had no right to be doing that. You guys are not are not married. You know you guys are and living in sin for nine years. Hold on, hold on that. Let me tell you something. I ain't been living no man. My wife, we have been married for nine years. And that man he's a preacher. I'm telling he's a preacher. I'm preach land Sunday, Sir. As of today, he has no right to be in anybody's pulpit. He has no right to be officiating, whether it's weddings or funerals, no matter what it is, christenings for children. He's not allowed to do that. And we have officially stopped him from doing anything serving under as being a pastor or a minister. We have stopped that. But what I want you to know is that you have been living in sin and you don't. We want to try and get you guys married as soon as possible, so you're not living in sin. Oh no, doc, I have been living in no sin. I have been married for nine years. This woman ship have been taking care of me and my kids for the past Wait. Wait a minute, Wait a minute.

What about your kids? Your kids in Bassots. No, Sir, Mikid, my kids were born in wedlock. Your kids have been born out wedlocks. I'm telling you Batman did my service, and he is a preacher. He's a man after God's own heart himself. He hasn't done everything that he could for me and my family. He is a preacher. Sir.

No, no, okay, so ahrder hud. Now, back in the olden days, but before all these all these colleges and stuff came came about, you telling me that they're men baking old days, that they weren't no preachers, that they weren't meant men after the cloth? Is that what you're saying to me? What are you? What are you? What are you? What are you getting at? Sir? What I'm trying to say is back in the older day, baking the twenties and thirties, they didn't have all these colleges and all these degrees and stuff like these new preachers got these days. That man now he was from back then, and God called them and that's what they went on too. And all the people that they married back then they did the same thing to day. You don't need no degree to say that you're a preacher. You don't need no life to say you're a preacher. Man. My wife will been mad for nine years. My kids have been born in wedlock. We were married, we were mad. I've read my friends and family. Day was all there, sir. The bottom line is that that you have been living in sin because you have not been married with your wife for the last nine years. And your kids, I hate to say it, your kids are bastards now O. Now I've told you, don't say nothing else about my kids, and I ain't no custom. But don't push me. My kids ain't no bassis. You understand me. You don't getting the up, sir.

I mean engineering and a construction company or oh no, no, no, no, Now we work for this company, Frank buddy, Frank Buddy contractor have you ever driven over a bridge? A lot of That's how we knew how they cracked, you know, structural engineering position is what we would take hold was the uprooted problem that diverted the situation into a cracking. First, he sounds good. There's like a board game like the go ahead going car. I was gonna ask him though, surely, so, how would you what would you recommend to update a bridge? Well? I think update is a very bridge. Golden Bride Bridge has been needed updated and repairing. You have been several earthquakes as we wreaking the foundation. But I think what we're gonna have to do is we're gonna have to do a section at the time. I think we're gonna have to break that bridge in half. So we had this one way traffic going one way, and then once you get the one one lane off and then you can do the restructure work on the other side, and then you reinforce it up under with welding beings and how to join them back together. That way they fix that whole thing with you mentioned earthquakes, Um, I was wondering. You know, we're out here in La what do you know that a lot of seismatologists have been on the news lately saying there's a possibility that there could be an earthquake coming up soon? You agree with that? Four point seven? A four point seven? What are you basing that on? Yeah? Because Lands was four point six you predict. Are you a seismatologist? Buy any chance you have you know anybody that is? No, I'm a quake atologist. Yea, so far, so good. Yeah, anything just anything I couldn't got, can get right with it. In houses, houses, you know a lot about house Yeah. I grew up in a housing projectologists I meant seismologists. Seismatologists. That's why I said quake, because I knew you ain't know what you're Go ahead and come. You know you know anything about design and airplanes are absolutely absolutely you mean like the engines and stuff are inside which one, Well, let's go be Yeah. Rose Ross is number one engine manufacturer of jet planes in the world right now, now that I believe, No, that's from you. Yeah, I believe Rose Roats is number one jet manufactured engine parts and motors in the world today. And so whatever I'm picking out the plane, always go Rose Engine. Okay, what's the best um feat to get up um altitude? You want to fly at least thirty three thousand, but if you in the old War substantial plane, you can get up at forty nine thousand, which did at that point you could see the curvature of the Earth. I cannot argue this. I guess you're up there in heaven almost if nine thousand feet in G five you could see the curvature of the Earth ahead the planet, so you could see that the world was round. Wow. No, and that's a fact I can't argue with you. Because I have new ideas about the thirty three thousand altitude. All right, Steve, thank you.

Yeah all right, Well, we could be reading your letter live on the air like we're gonna read this one today. Come on, nephew, buckle up, hold on tight, we got it for you. Here. It is the straw Berry letter. Subject he wants me but not the children. Dear Stephen Shirley. I am a forty nine year old female married to a forty nine year old man. We have five children and five grandchildren. Here is the problem my current husband, he says, I have. I have five children and five grandchildren. Okay, not we oh, okay, here is the problem. My current husband is not the father of my children. I married this man when my children were young, so he's been in their lives for a very long time. My youngest son just graduated from high school and we'll be going away for college. So now my husband thinks that we are done raising children and from now on it will be just the two of us. He has said that that we don't have to worry about the kids anymore because they are all grown and have their own lives. So am I not supposed to So am I'm not supposed to be involved with my children since they are no longer living at home. My children range from ages thirty two to eighteen years old. And all five of them live in different states. I want to see them and my grandkids as often as I can. In fact, I'd like to move closer to them. My husband does not want anything to do with them period. He doesn't want to visit them, and he doesn't want them to visit us. He said that they don't need to come for the holiday. What the hell he really thinks that because they are adults, I am supposed to forget that they exist. I understand that these are our golden years and we should be enjoying quality time together and traveling the world, but our travels should also include trips to see my children. If he's really serious, I may have to spend my golden years alone. Stephen Shirley, can you please help me? Well, your letters started off nicely, so I'll put it like this. Your husband, I'm sure, feels like he's done his job and it's over. These were not his kids. He raised them anyway. He's been in their lives since they were really young, so he's done and not being their biological debt. Like I said, the ties are cut. He has no connection really to them. It seems he cut them off and his concentration is now on you and you guys the future together. He wants to live, he wants to live his life, you know, and do all of those things. But now I think that he's being very unrealistic when he says the children he doesn't want the kids to come and see you, or he doesn't want you to go see the kids. How is that? I mean, really, that's a bit unrealistic, especially if it makes you happy to see your kids. You're his wife. He should want to see you happy and do those things that make you happy. I mean, it's very unrealistic to say that. He really thinks that because they're adults, you're supposed to forget that they exist. No, that's not the issue, and he knows that's not the issue. They are grown and they are living their own lives. That part is definitely true. But you guys got to come to some kind of compromise in terms of when you see the kids and when you go see the kids, even if you just go by yourself, you have to see your kids. These are your kids, Steve, you're a parent. Now he wants me, but not the children, Okay, that I can relate to. I don't want mine either, Dough God and on any day between the seven of them, you can come get just like that. But we are parents. You're forty nine, your band's forty nine. You got five children and five grandkids. He's not the father of the kids. Your youngest son just graduated high school going away to college. So now your husband thinks that we've done raising children and from now on there to just be the two of us. He has says that we don't have to worry about the kids no more because they all grown and have their own lives. Okay, are you kidding me? You really think that's how it goes? Do you know that you are a parent for life. You may not be a husband or a wife for life, but once you become a parent, you're a parent for life. Now, there are some good ones out there and there are some bad ones out there. I got it, you, sir, are about to turn into a bad one because you don't get it. You are in your goal in you And she said that later in the letter. Your kids are from thirty two to eighteen, all of them live in different states, and you want to see your kids and your grandkids. Matter of fact, you want to move closer to him. Your husband don't want nothing to do with them, pig. He doesn't want to visit them, and he doesn't want them to visit us. He says, they don't need to come for the holiday. That's what the lady type, don't need to come for the holidays. What the hell? What the hell is right? Come home? Man? Are you for real? Bro? You're gonna just act like you never met these people. He gotta come home. He's not ready to live on his own. And I got that. The kids range from thirty two to eighteen. Man, do you know how much advice they need? So how much help they need, financial support they need? Come home, man, That ain't how this work. Man, you crazy? And he don't want them to visit. He don't want him to come for the holidays. What the hell? He thinks that because they are adults, I'm supposed to forget that they exist. That's the craziest part of them. You gotta be nuts. It doesn't work that way. Come on, man, I understand that these are our golden years. You ain't before to nine. Hell, goldie, But if that's how you want to look at it, okay, cool, And that we should be enjoying quality time together and traveling the world. Plans should also include trips to see my children. If he's really serious, I may have spend my golden years alone. We will be back in kids. What you say, Steve's all right, We will be back at twenty three after with part two of Steve's response too, he wants me but not the children right after this. You're listening, all right, Steve. Here we are part two of today's Strawberry letter. The subject he wants me but not the children. Wow. Well, the youngest one and graduated. The boy is five kids, none of him. He is now he gonna why they graduated? They're gone. We threw it in they out. He's saying, no, they have their own lives. They're adults. They should be able to make it on their own. I want to see my grandkids as offer I can. It's what the woman says. In fact, I want to move closer to him. My husband doesn't want anything to do with them period. He don't want to visit them. He don't want them to visit us. He said they don't need to come for the holiday to him. The ladies said, what to hell, No, we don't come for the holidays. What is Christmas? About exactly. He really thinks that because they're adults, I'm supposed to forget they exist. I understand that these are golden years and we should be enjoying quality time together and traveling the world. But I traveled playing to be called trips to see my children. He's really serious. I may have spend my golden years along Stephen Sherley. Can you please help me? He wants to check out. In essence, he wants to check out. He wants to say that I've done my duty. I raised these kids to the best of my ability. I've contributed, and now they're gone. That's it. I'm chilling. I wish that was the case. But honey, why don't you want to see the kids? I mean, did something happen? We've already seen the kids. Well, yeah, you've seen them since they were young, I mean, and they live their own lives now. I saw all I needed to see when they was here. I'm tied. I've been working, paying bill, putting key to college, and were covering up dream I bought that born a carbon machine. All that old and honey, we appreciated so much. But these are my kids. I have to see them on the holidays. That's what the holidays are. Four family holidays. Yes, family like Thanksgiving, like Christmas, like Thanksgiving, like Christmas. We ain't going down now. I've already made arrangements for them to come here. They here here to the house. I'm, you know, getting the big Christmas tree and everything. They're just got ready to We just got rid of the damn boy. And what the hell are you inviting them back for? They don't think we won't them. Well, he has to have somewhere to go when he's out of school for Christmas break school, don't he downed that one of them in a national school. But he I want him to come home. I missed them. I carried them for nine months. This is my blood. See, you raised and the kids to be none but chumps. That wrong right here. He's a great kid. He's in college now, he great kid herself. Go and make it. You know he ain't gonna get a job. Wow, I don't understand. I mean, you were so good with them when they were young and helping me raise them.

You're listening to the Steven Show. All right, Carla, um me and just some you know, just some random girls were talking. Um we this question came up. It's like, because you know, we were taught to make up the bed when we get out, make up the bed. No when it wants to come home to an unmade bed. But it's difficult if you're married, or if you live with someone you sleep with them. What if you have to get up earlier. So the question is whose responsibility is it to make up the bed? You know, no more of that. Just because you're a woman and you're in charge of the house, you make it up. Excuse me, no, right right right right, yeah, But in our house it's whoever is last, whoever gets up last. If I get up first, then you know, Nesto has to make up the bed and he makes it up really well. I must say, oh, really well, Nesto needs to call my husband because he ain't making up the bed like that. He will get now, you know, because we have to be to work so early. Of course we I get up first, but he gets up early too. He'll go to the gym and all that to make sure I'm up. And but now, child, I got to come right back in there and make up the bed. Just sad, just sad. But let me let me I've fussed and nagged enough. Okay, he ain't gotten it just right? All right, hey, listen, follow us, yes, follow us on social media. I'm on the Gram at my Girl Shirley and I'm at Lips by Carla. Don't worry, we'll post our bedrooms. I'll post the bed yeah, all right, all right. We'll have more of the Steve Harvey Morning Show Makeup You're Bad coming up in thirty three minutes after the hour right after this you're listening to show. We here at the Steve Harvey Morning Show love food, all of us. But there are a lot of foods we think are from other countries that are actually invented in the good old USA. And those are some of the most famous ones. Like fortune cookies invented right here. Yeah, it was actually invented in San Francisco by a Japanese American baker. Did not I did? They don't taste good. I like them with chocolate, white chocolate on them, and they're good. They don't know surely, surely excuse me. Our chocolate is the worst thing you could put in your body. I absolutely know that. But it tastes real good. That's all I'm saying. I'm sorry, you a very wonderful health reason, and you just destroyed it. I know that I don't eat it now, but yeah I used to, and it's delicious orange chicken. How about that one? That's good? Yeah? It was created in Hawaii in nineteen eighty seven by Panda Express chef Andy Ko or Kyle Cool. I didn't know that. I didn't know who came up with them, that custation. Who came up with them?

UM, take us home with some closing remarks. I think the best way for me always is to just be open and honest about my own experiences in my own life. Somebody asked me yesterday, It said, man, how do you do it? How do you keep going when things seem to be going so contrary to I'm sure the way you wanted to go? And of course, you know I always kind of have an idea what people are talking about, even though I don't address the majority of it. But the question was a sincere question, and they weren't saying it to me to be mean or to get a conversation started. They were seriously asking me, man, how do you keep going? How do you manage to just show up and do your job anyway? When so many things around you seem to be swirling, so many things being said, conversations anything. I said, Well, here's the deal. I have been able to survive all the things in my life because of my faith. I'm just being honest with you. If God did not love me the way he does, if God did not give me an extend to me his grace and his mercy the way he does, I don't know how I would make it. But because I have this unwavering faith, the belief in things that I cannot see, because I understand that He covers me. I understand that Isaiah fifty four seventeen exists. I understand that Isaiah forty three one in two exists. That I can walk through the waters and rivers and not drown, and walk through fire and will not be burned, Nor what kindling set upon my clothing. Understand that no weapon formed against me shall prosper. I understand that there are principalities at work all the time. I understand that the devil's job is to rob me and you of our destiny, and he would challenge that any way he can. If he can't get through to you, he will get through to someone you love. If he can't get through to you, he will get through to somebody you care about. If he can't get through to you, he'll come through a co worker. If he can't get through to you, he'll come through a supervisor. If he can't get through to you, he'll use social media and ego find a way to get to you, to shake your faith. The thing that maintains me in all of it is my unwavering faith in him. That God's promises are true. That he promised never to leave me, that he promised that he would be that and ever present presence in my life. That he would always never forsake me. That when it looks like it's going all wrong, that He is behind the scenes working on my behalf and behind the scenes working on your behalf. That relationship that I formed over the years with God, that I've tightened up this year is the reason I can stand and face all of my trials and tribulations and stand strong and still go to work and keep a smile on my face and keep moving forward. The fact that I handle my triumphs and my tragedies the exact same way. The fact that you can't look at me and see no signs or struggle on me, it is because of my unwavering faith. The reason my faith is able to stay so strong is because I've discovered in my sixty two years of living that God has kept me even in moments when I didn't know how I was going to be able to keep myself. Because when you have a relationship with God and you leaning on his promises, and all of his promises are true, what do you have to worry about? What can man do to you? If God is with you, who can be against you? Who? What problem or what person can you name or come up with as greater than God? I can't. I can't think of anything. What problem do you have that's bigger than God? I can't think of anything. What situation do you think that God can't bring you through? If you look back on your life and realize that He's brought you through every other one you've ever been in. Every situation I've ever been in, God has cleared me through that one. He's done the same thing for you. Just look back. Name the one thing that God hasn't brought you through. Name it. If He ain't bought you through it, He's currently pulling you through it right now. You know how I know that's true because you can hear me. God is a very present help in the time of trouble. The reason I have relationship with God is so when I get in moments like these, I don't have to introduce myself to it. He has heard me before. I have called Him on a daily basis when it's going good and when it's going bad. So when it go bad and I show up, he recognizes me that I am his in his mind. That's why I can keep my head up. Y'all do the same. Y'all have great weekend. Those are my clothes, are remarked. I'm already dropped him, Mike.
