June 26, 2026
AI Summary
5 min read"How Many Times Have You Made It?"
Steve Harvey opens with a raw, personal confession: he has been going through something for years, talking to God about it, and just yesterday had to endure another round. But instead of staying stuck in the frustration, he did something that shifted his entire perspective. He started counting.
Not counting his problems. Counting his survivals.
"How many times I didn't have a rent, and somehow I came up with it. How many times I didn't have my house payment and somehow I came up with it. How many times I was out of money, didn't have enough, didn't see no way. But somehow I came up with it."
This is the central move of the episode: taking an inventory of how many times you made it through. Harvey is not offering a prosperity gospel or a formula for success. He is describing a spiritual practice he discovered in real time, after years of praying about the same situation, after another round of it hit him yesterday. He lay in it for a while, the way you do when something has been grinding on you for years. Then he started counting.
