• 2:21
  Speaker 1: How good is the God I served? How amazing is he?
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: That's that's all, you know. And you know, really, man,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: when I try to explain um how I feel about
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: what he does for me, really, the words that I
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: come up with that they just they they inadequate. Man,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: They don't they don't cut it. They really don't. You know.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: I could say amazing. At one time. I even just
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: got that. I tried something real ignorant. One time, I
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: just said, you know, God is just super casual, fragilistic
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: as be alladocious. I just tried that to see how
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: that felt. That's that's all the change he is with me.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: I just try to because see how that felt. But
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: then I ain't feel right saying that, the fact that
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: he's amazing and awesome and he's an awesome God. You
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: hear people say that as it's bigger than that too, man.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: So you know, as as hard as I try, no
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: matter what I do every day, I'm gonna come up
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: short with trying to explain to you exactly how he
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: works and how he is for me. So I just
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: thank him every day every chance I get here. It
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: is it is your determination and your effort. Listen to
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: me carefully. It is your determination and your effort. I
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: think that the average person, and I'm not knocking you,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: I just want you to hear me out. I think
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: what stops the average person from becoming successful is that
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: we don't realize the effort that it takes. And that's
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: just truth. I found that to be so true in
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: my life and my talking to people, in meeting people,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: and people aren't asking me questions about it and me
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: trying to figure out the way myself. I don't think
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: that you really can comprehend the effort that it takes
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: to become successful. This is the thing that you have
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: to wrap your mind around very quickly if you want
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: to be successful on any level in any area. The
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: dream is the beginning. Good Lord, let me tell you something.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: The determination and effort is massive. You cannot be overly
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: concerned with sleep. If you are a person who is
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: always concerned about sleep, get success out your mind. A
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: fit to happen partner is not fit to happen. You
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: cannot be that concerned about sleep. Now, listen to me.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: You have to get your rest. But this was my philosophy.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: I'm just sharing you with what how I did it.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: My philosophy was I stopped being concerned about sleep. I
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: got my rest, but I got just enough to get
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: back to it, and I got back on the grind
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: to hop into hustle. I got just enough rest so
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: I could go and put forth some more effort. But
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: listen to me. You cannot sleep a third of your
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: life away and expect to become successful. If you're not
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: already successful. If you are asleep for eight hours, that
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: is a third of your day. You cannot be asleep
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: a third of your life and expect to get successful. Now,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: after you get successful, you know you learn as you
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: go to work smarter, not harder, so as you get successful,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: you may have eight hours available to you. But on
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: the way up there, I don't see how you can
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: do it, I promise you. I don't. Now I don't.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Maybe somebody can't come forward. I did it? I yeah,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: probably lying. But okay, tell your story, because everybody I
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: know that's successful that I've sat down ahead real talks
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: with it wasn't concerned with sleeping. You cannot be concerned
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: with sleeping if you want to be successful. How how
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: can this happen for you? Listen to me. The effort
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: that it requires is massive. It's an all out of
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: salt on your dream. Now you got to make an assault.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: It's requires and all out of salt on it. And
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: you can't be sleeping. Fight at the same time. You
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: can't fight when you sleep. Man. I wish I could
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: get y'all understand this right here. Understand that the effort
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: that is required to be successful will take everything you have,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: and when you think you've given your all, it's gonna
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: require some more. The quality of your chill is amazing.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: See that's okay, listening. What is sitting around having a
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: bill every day fault. What what what I'm sitting down
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: smoking weed for every day? Fault? Come on, man, for real,
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: But if you took that beer drinking weed smoking chill
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: time and apply it to progressing yourself towards your dream.
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: When you do carve out a vacation, guess where you
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: be able to go. Guess what part of the world
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: you can go see? Guess how you can you Now
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: now I'm instead of you just driving every year your
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: family to the family union, sit at the same picnic table.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Everybody pull their money in to ten families. Don't never
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: pull they money in. They down there eating like y'all eating.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: You got attitude because the day or they side don't
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: ever chip in, and no they down they eating the
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: extra potatoes that are making place. You're not not harguing
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: about this every year for real, man, they ain't got
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: the T shirt money. You know they got to say
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: a T shirt, don't. They ain't put in that, really, man,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: so so so so so you want that to be
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: it every year? Or do you want this shire I'm
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: taking my family to New Orleans, or I'm taking my
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: family see the Grand Canyon. I'm taking my family down
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: to the beach. This year, and me and my family

  Speaker 1: this year, and me and my family going out to
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: La Man, we're gonna're gonna go out there for the weekend.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: You know, you know it can happen like that. But
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: if you ain't working, listen to me. Average effort gets
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: average results. That's that's all it is to it. See,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: ordinary effort gets ordinary results. But if you put forth
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: an extra effort. See, the only difference between extraordinary and
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: ordinary is one word, that's extra. If you do extra,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: you can take ordinary right on over to extraordinary. Do
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: you understand you have to have a massive assault on
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: your dreams? Quit sitting up in here, man, trying to
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: chill all the time. I'm sorry, man, I wish I
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: could tell you another way, but it ain't one. Here's
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: what I did. I wasn't concerned about how much sleep
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: I got. I just had to get my rest. And
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: once I got enough rest to get up and get
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: the task done, I got up. Somebody sent me a
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: tweet the other day, a partner of mine. He's someone
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: to see if I can pull it up while I'm
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: talking to you. But he just sent me a little sign.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Just wasn't nothing, just a little something to say, Hey man,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: I ran across this, I thought about you, and I
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: sent it to you. It said no alarm clock needed,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: My passion wakes me. It's in blockprint. He said, no
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: alarm clock needed, My passion wakes me. That's what you
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: got to be about. Morning show ladies and gentlemen. What huh?
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: You know what time it is? Showtime? Man? You know
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: what I was thinking the other day about how I
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: was as a little boy and I was growing up.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: We should put on shows in the basement, and I'd
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: have a clothes line put up in the basement and
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: a sheet that was the backstage area. I was always
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: trying to get my nephews and nieces to perform. They couldn't,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: and they were more aggravating to me than a little bit.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: So I took it upon myself to introduce my damn
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: self because y'all obviously don't have the glam and what
• 10:50

• 11:40
  Speaker 1: your journey when you're doing what you feel like God
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: has put you on here, which one is more important?

  Speaker 1: Getting it right or getting started? Well, I gotta tell
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: you something. If you don't ever start, it's no way
• 11:55

• 12:10
  Speaker 1: the way out, because I have news for you. Nobody do.

  Speaker 1: If God had told all of you that in order

  Speaker 1: to get where you are today, and he showed you
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: a road, Mapple every trial, tribulation, set back that you'd
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: have to go through to get there. All of us
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: would want something else. I don't care where we are.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: I know I would have had he showed it to

  Speaker 1: me in the beginning, I'd have said, hold on, hold on, Lord.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: In two fifteen, can we skip that? And in two

  Speaker 1: day we had never done that. We had just went

  Speaker 1: first day. I knew that right way first date, just
• 23:30

• 36:40
  Speaker 1: the necessities of life for the next several days until
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: this crisis resides. That's what we're operating right now. So
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: we're gonna find somewhere, the practice, find somewhere that can
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: accommodate every dirn thing that we need and desire to
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: be who we desire to be, and that's dominant. The
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: devil is a lot you're gonna get us to right now. Yeah,
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: that's what I do. Appreciate them being proactive in this situation,
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: and you got some people that's drawing some real light
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: to this. Seems to be a little bit different response
• 37:21
  Speaker 1: than what happened in Flint. Oh. I think they just
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: didn't do enough. If Flint, I don't think they acted acquarterly.
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: We have the money in this country, so this type
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: of thing can be avoided. But we the first and
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: foremost thing of level of importance in this country is money.
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: Oh and to prove it on the money, it says
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: in God we trust. But they just put that on
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: their symbolism. They but they put that on their money.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: Certainly started out that way. That was a dead giveaway
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: right there. You know, they got a constitution beween in
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: that hour. So and Steve, FEMA and the EPA are
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: helping to expedite the delivery of the equipment for emergency
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: repairs at the City of Jackson water treatment facility. So
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: they are trying to do something. Yeah, yeah, they really do. Yeah.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: Necessity for survival. Yeah, absolutely, you gotta drink it, use
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: it to wash, I mean, yeah, of course, for sure.

  Speaker 1: fail in the voting process. Sister. Don't even worry. Don't

  Speaker 1: even worry. But we know our people. Now we're talking

  Speaker 1: twenty years of doing this, we know when to start
• 40:58

• 53:51
  Speaker 1: Shirley Strawberry, all right, thank you, my good friend Junior.
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: Subject subject he called me a call girl. Dear Stephen, Shirley.
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: I'm a forty one year old entrepreneur and I own
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: a brokerage firm. I'm dating a four year old, forty
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: year old former pro athlete and we met three years ago.
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: He's a coach and he owns a laundromat. I have
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: my own house and he has his own house. I
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: was driving a small sports car when I met him,
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: and he suggested I get an SUV for all of
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: my yard signs and stuff for my business. I was
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: fine driving my little BMW, but for my fortieth birthday,
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: he surprised me with a twenty twenty two SUV. He
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: loves giving gifts and I love getting them, but it's
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: the commentary after the gift that bothers me. I wasn't
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: wearing designer labels before I met him, but he loves
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: to buy them for me, so I let him. He
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: has flurged on overpriced designer shoes and purses for me
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: since we met. He said, I have to look a
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: certain way to represent him properly. He loves to brag
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: about whatever he spends money on. Over the weekend, he
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: went too far with the bragging, and now we're not speaking.
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: We were at a rooftop bar on Sunday with three
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: other couples, and the males moved away from the female
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: so they could smoke cigars. They were still an earshot
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: of where we were sitting, and I overheard my man
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: say that I'm the black Julia Roberts from Pretty Woman,
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: and he has spent a lot of money on me
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: so I can be as fly as he is. He
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: said I was worth every bit of it because he
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: plans to marry me. I went over to him and
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: cursed him out. One of his boys told me that
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: I'm focused on the wrong part of what my man said.
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: He told me to focus on the fact that my
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: guy wants to marry me. But how can I when
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: he compared me to a prostitute from a movie. You
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: feel the way you feel. That's okay, your feelings are valid.
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: But I really think that the anger you have towards
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: your man and what made you curse him out at
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: the party was a build up of all the things
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: that get on your nerves about him. You've got a
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: big bragger on your hands. He's someone that is generous,
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: and how he buys nice things for you, but selfish,
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: and how he needs so much attention and credit for
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: doing that. When you do things for people, especially for
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: your mate, it should be from the heart because you
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: want to do it, and gratitude and appreciation should be
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: all the thanks you need. Although you love getting the gifts,
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: you're not even into all these expensive designer things. That
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: is what he wants you to wear because he wants
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: you to represent him in a certain way. So I
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: think you were just sick of all his bragging and
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: saying you were the black Julie Roberts was the last
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: straw for you, and you just let him have it.
• 56:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, clearly he's clueless because in the same sentence
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: he said he wanted to marry you. I really don't
• 56:51
  Speaker 1: think he was knowingly saying you were a prostitute or
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: anything like that. He was just bragging so much he
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: got caught up and says something real stupid at the time.
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: So tell him how you feel about his bragging. Tell
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: him you don't like it and you want him to stop.
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: But but know that this is who he is before
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: you get married, and he'll only change if he wants
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: to change for you. But you know know that you're
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: not the black Julie Roberts. You're not a prostitute, Okay,
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: And I don't think he really meant that. I really don't, Steve, Lady, relax,
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: you find the mess up. Listen to me, lady, you
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: find the mess up? You overheard No, I'll wait till
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: I get there. You forty one, you're entrepreneur, you own
• 57:34
  Speaker 1: a broken form. You're dating a former pro athlete. Met
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: three years ago. He's a coach. He got a laundry man.
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: You got your own house, He got his own house.
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: He was driving a small sports call when you met him.
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: He suggests you get an SUV for all your yards,
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: signs and stuff for your business. Makes sense to me,
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: but I was fine driving my little BMW. See see
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: right here, Now here's where you. I don't want you
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: to miss what's happening. Your man actually has an interest
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: in what you do for a living, unlike some people
• 58:07
  Speaker 1: who don't give it, dawn, what you do. They just
• 58:09
  Speaker 1: want what they want. But now he said, you are
• 58:12
  Speaker 1: to get an suv, so when you're going around in
• 58:15
  Speaker 1: the Brokish firm, you can have your signs and stuff
• 58:18
  Speaker 1: in the car. Oh, I was firing with my little
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah you was. But then guess what for your fortieth birthday?
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: He surprised you with a twenty twenty two suv. He
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: bought you and fulfill the need that he saw his
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: woman needed. He loves giving gifts and I love getting them.
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: So far sound like we win it, But it's the
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: commentary after the gift that bothers me. I wasn't wearing
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: design of labels before I met him, but he loves
• 58:51
  Speaker 1: to buy them for me, so I let him. Yeah. See,
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: you wasn't buying designer stuff, but now he buying it
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: for you. You weren't into that, but you let him.
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: You know why, because it looked good. You know why,
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: because it feel good. You know why because it makes
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: you look and feel a certain way when you got
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: it on. That's why you buy the stuff. He has
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: splurged on. Overpriced designer shoes. Listen to me, lady. They're
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: not overpriced. That's how much they cost. See, they're not
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: overpriced for what they are. Pay Less exists, so you
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: can pay less Nieman Mark because mono Oblonic, Christian Lubertan
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: they don't have that. But then pay less shoes don't
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: look like Milano and Christian Lubertins. They don't look like that.
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: Look if a damn what you do? Hang on, Steven bad? Now?
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: What do you other? Like? What are you mad for her?
• 59:55
  Speaker 1: What for what? We'll have two of Steve's response coming
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: up at twenty three minutes after the hour. The topic
• 1:00:06

• 1:01:15
  Speaker 1: And then but it's the commentary after the gift that

• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: I have to look a certain way to represent him properly.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: That's just a man being a little braggish. I'll admit that,
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: but you know, I want you to be out there
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 1: when you're out there with me. In other words, for

  Speaker 1: this point, my reaction to them graphs is gonna be
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: the Sime sleep man. I got closed my heart, my head.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: I saw sports talk today. I just want to see
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: the clan. Yeah all right, junior, thank you. All right.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: Coming up at the top of the hour, we're gonna
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: discuss the dating scene how it is now Ladies, should
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 1: you ask a man for a financial help to support
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: your lifestyle? We'll talk about it right after this. What's
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 1: wrong with that? You're listening to show? All right, So
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: there's a topic circulating on social media. Uh, many of
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: us have experienced the dating scene. Okay, before we you
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 1: were married and all of that stuff and a lot
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: of women expect men to pay for the check, help
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: with their bills, their rent, their groceries, nails, hair bags,
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 1: cell phones, etc. And on the other hand, some men
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 1: feel like just because we're dating or in a relationship
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 1: that they shouldn't have to help with your bills or
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 1: help you keep up with a certain lifestyle. We're in
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 1: this together. I should get something from you and you
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 1: should get something from me. So, Steve, we got to
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 1: ask you, as you are our chief love officer, well
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: what do you think about this? I mean it's different. Now,
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 1: it's a true statement that everybody should get something from
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 1: the relationship. Now, if the relationship has progressed and it
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 1: looks like you are planning a future together, if you
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: are having any talks are plans of having a future together,
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: Why would you align yourself with someone who's not willing
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 1: or looking forward to taking care of you. And that
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: goes for both the man and the woman, because if
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 1: this is going to lead to something up the road,
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 1: like we're planning on a life together, then we should
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 1: be planning on the life where we become one and
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: we take care of one another. Now, there's an antige
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: that a coach once said, you play the game like
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: you practice. If you've had no practice with taking care
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: of one another, what makes you think after the wedding day,
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: all of us sudden you're gonna want to take care
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: of each other. It doesn't make any sense because there
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: would be plenty of opportunities during the dating process to
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 1: show your ability or your willingness to take care of
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 1: one another. So it is a two way street. But
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: you can't expect something that you're not willing to give.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: I can't expect to get rich if I don't go
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: to work. I can't expect to make it across the
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: other end of that swimming pool unless I didn't took
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: some swimming lessons. I can't expect to play golf and
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: part this hole if I ain't been out there practicing.
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: M You can't make eight out of ten free throws
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: just by walking up to the line. Somebody got to
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 1: practice making these free throws. So so how so, yeah,
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: you can get all of that if I can't get
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 1: what I need. Okay, So yeah, you're saying it's a
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: it's an even exchange or something. It's there. It has
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: to be an exchange, and exchange is unreasonable and unfair
• 1:13:03
  Speaker 1: to walk in thinking somebody just posted to take care
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: of your hair, your nails and buy you bags. If
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: he wants you to look a certain way, how was
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: you looking before you met it? Just because y'all star
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 1: dating doesn't mean that he has to come in and
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 1: take over all these responsibilities all of a sudden with
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 1: nothing in it for him. What you're saying over time
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: and we want different things men and women, right this
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 1: this may be what women want. What do men want?
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 1: You know you so you can take care of me?
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 1: Walt support, Men won't loyalty and men won't respect m
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: Love ain't at the top of the list with us.
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 1: Where where does love fall? It's somewhere in the top folk, yea,
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 1: in the top four. But if you're loyal to us
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: and respect us, that's what that's what we consider love. Yeah,
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 1: did you belong to us and we belong to you
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: that you gonna respect us and you're gonna support us
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: and be loyal to us, and you can help me
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 1: get the way I'm trying to get to in life.
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 1: You must love me. But those are the things we're
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 1: looking for. Love is not at the top of the list,
• 1:14:19

  Speaker 1: to try something. Okay. I want you all to think
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 1: of words, because I don't want to give away any
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 1: think of words that describe are going through something. I
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 1: want you to think of words that describe going through
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: something or something you've had to overcome. As you give
• 1:20:28
  Speaker 1: them to me, I want to show you what those
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: words have taught me. I don't know how this is
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: gonna go because we've never done this before anxious and exercise,
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 1: but that's what it is. I give an example. I
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 1: often found myself ended up as I've gotten older, of
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 1: taking all the bitter moments and turning it into sweet
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 1: moments of taking all my lemons and making lemons. Because
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 1: out of all of my hardships that I've had, what
• 1:21:07
  Speaker 1: those hardships did was it's solidified my relationship with God.
• 1:21:18
  Speaker 1: It forced me to understand more fully what I was
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 1: capable of. It made me understand what those scriptures were
• 1:21:27
  Speaker 1: really sane, and it taught me the power of prayer.
• 1:21:34
  Speaker 1: So hardship really changed my relationship with God. So as
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: the team presents me these words that presented challenge are
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 1: difficult to them, I would try to put it into
• 1:21:50
  Speaker 1: words that have changed my life. Junior, you want to start,
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: what's the word strong willed? Strong willed? Uh? I had
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: to become strong will because of weak moments. You know
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 1: that are weak moments that come in your life where
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: it's going to test you in the form of temptation
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: and you're gonna have some weak moments. But when you
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: have those weak moments, it's practiced for you to develop
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: a stronger will. You've got to develop a strong will
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 1: to overcome temptation. That everybody has temptation and everybody's not
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 1: gonna You're not gonna win the temptation battle all day,
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 1: all the time, you're just not gonna do it. You're human.
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 1: But it taught me a lot about strong will in
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 1: my weak moments. Anybody, Um, yeah, that's good. Hello fear. Fear,
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: Oh well, fear. We've often talked about this. Fear has
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 1: produced more bravery for me than anything because every time
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 1: I've mustered up the courage to face my fear, it
• 1:23:19
  Speaker 1: made me more a brave You know, if you're a
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 1: fear fearful person or a brave person, that's the direct opposite.
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: But you need to fear to bring out the bravery
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: in you. See, if you're not presented with the things
• 1:23:32
  Speaker 1: you are afraid of, you don't know what to be
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: brave toward. You follow what I'm saying. I needed to
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 1: have fearful moment because God needed to show me just
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: how brave I really was. By turning around and facing
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: those fears, it made me understand how brave I actually was.
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 1: See every descending moment, every adverse moment in your life
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 1: that has an opposite to it, you got to find it.
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 1: But you become more brave when you face more fears.
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 1: It's nothing wrong with being afraid. What cripples you is
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 1: when you don't address the fear when you run from it,
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 1: for when you turn around and face it, you find
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 1: out that what you were afraid or wasn't as big
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 1: as you thought it were. That fear has caused me
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: to discover the bravery in me. You better come on
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 1: Steve Ball Show. Let me say mountain, Steve mountain. Oh,
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: this is a good one for me. This is easy.
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 1: I often have to thank God for all the mountain
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 1: I've had to climb, because in climbing the mountain, it
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 1: gave me the strength and the wisdom. I understand that
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 1: with Christ, all things is possible. That they ain't a
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 1: mountain too high that he can't get me over. They
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 1: ain't an ocean too deep that he can't swim me
• 1:24:55
  Speaker 1: through that mountain. When I'm climbing mountains, it allows me
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 1: to understand the real power of God, because sometimes you're
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: standing there looking at that mountain and it just seems
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 1: so impossible, but you got to start to climb. And
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 1: every time I started to climb and I've reached the
• 1:25:14
  Speaker 1: top of one of the mountains, all I could do
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: is say, thank you Lord for giving me the strength
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 1: to hang in at or reach the top of this mountain.
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 1: Now that has some valleys too. Now, oh yeah, but
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 1: you don't get to get you don't. You don't get
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 1: to the mountaintop without going down in the valley. See what,
• 1:25:32
  Speaker 1: you can't have one without the other. That was very good.
• 1:25:35
  Speaker 1: I appreciate that, y'all. You know, that's all some of
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 1: the things that I've learned in my life from adversity.
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 1: Everything that looks like a bad moment, if you look
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: at it the right way. Like I've always said, behind
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 1: every moment of adversity, there's a lesson and a blessing.
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 1: And I thank God that I've learned from all my adversity,
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 1: all the mountains, all the fear, all of the moments
• 1:25:54
  Speaker 1: where I needed bravery, all the times I needed to
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 1: have that strong will. He just kept showing up. I
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 1: just asked, the Lord shows up for you. It's just
• 1:26:07
  Speaker 1: we ain't always there for him. Amen to that, y'all.
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 1: Have a great weekend. Is it time to say that? Check? Yeah,
• 1:26:18
