Steve Harvey shared an emotional, personal message about faith, warning that trying to live without God is “making it way harder than it’s got to be.”
Harvey said God genuinely wants to help people but asks for one thing in return: a relationship. “All he wants is a relationship with you,” he said, stressing that faith isn’t about labels or denominations.
He backed up his message with raw honesty about his own life. “I did it without him. It does not work,” Harvey said, recalling how he flunked out of school, struggled with a severe stutter, went through multiple marriages, lost everything twice, and even lived in his car for three years. “I’ve been bottomed out. Flat, bottomed out. Nothing.”
What changed, he said, was persistence in faith. “I just kept believing that God didn’t bring me this far to leave me,” Harvey shared, crediting the Scriptures his mother taught him and his decision to start talking to God daily. “If you call God and you ask him to hear you, he hears you.”
Speaking directly to young people, Harvey warned against voices that deny God’s existence. “Don’t let nobody fool you… God is real, man,” he said, pointing to creation as evidence of a higher power. “Who you think make the sun come up every day? Who make the wind blow? You can’t stop time.”
“I ain’t threatening you. I’m just telling you real,” Harvey said. “You better get in touch with Him—the sooner, the better.”
