Reflections with Dr. Gary Harvey

This week we have the pleasure of welcoming Radio Personality and Philanthropist Jason "The Architect" Tolbert to the show.

Join us as we discuss his career, ups and downs, and what's on the horizon.

"Transparency: What's really behind the mask?"...especially in today's world it's difficult to be transparent, to not hide behind a mask...with everyone wearing masks physically, far too many of us are wearing masks spiritually and emotionally, hiding our real and current state...in order to grow, in order to heal we have to be able to get out from behind our masks and live as our true selves...we...

Productive Protests or Calculated Chaos? Are we staying focused? With everything that's going on we cannot allow our vigilance to falter. We need to ensure that we stay focused and not get distracted by people who are trying to capitalize on a moment and push their own agendas. We must stay focused, productive pushing forward with purpose to ensure that these social injustices are dealt with and r...

Defund the police - what's that mean? There's a big misunderstanding as to what that really means, it doesn't mean we eliminate Law Enforcement, but does mean we reevaluate and restructure the current system. Join us on this episode as we just scratch the surface on what this cry is about and maybe share some understanding. And ask ourselves, where do we can from here?

A soldier is taught to kill to eliminate their enemies. A police officer is taught to serve and protect, to keep the peace. Yet if a soldier kills a civilian they are held to a much higher level of accountability than law enforcement why is this the case, especially when the officer should respond much differently than with excessive force and brutality? To truly have change their must be accounta...

Here it is the year 2020 and we are still dealing with a disgraceful systematic racism. One where the color of a person's skin dictates their treatment. When a murder can be recorded and because the victim is black there are excuses made and attempts to justify. If one cannot even acknowledge the racism, and at the very least be a voice against it I ask the question, have you blacklisted black ame...

As we go through life there are times and season when we need to prune the garden of our lives. Just like with natural plants in order to promote growth and healing, to allow the plant to flourish you need to prune, remove, and shape the plant. This is something that we have to periodically do in our own lives to truly reach our potential.

Many times when someone tries to give us guidance or direction we feel that they are trying to micromanage us, that they don't have faith in our abilities. But none of that is true, they are just trying to share their experiences hopefully making things easier for us.

Especially now during these times we need real leaders, politically, spiritually, and in our communities. People who are not in it for personal gain or to be a boss, but who truly care. People who don't say "go", but say "let's go". Real leaders who lead by example and walk the process out with you.

On this week's episode we welcome the author of "Destiny's Journey", Miss Destiny Hill. We will get to know her as we discuss her testimony and how God is using her today, her book, and plans for the future.

Are we living in a platform, similar to the movie with the same name? There are people above and below and we must work together to realize and maintain a delicate balance during these times to ensure we are all taken care of. We need just be good human beings to maintain this balance.

With everything going on, are we giving up our rights under the guise of "flatten the curve"? Liquor is essential, seeds are not? Are we giving into fear or trying to make the best decisions? Join me as we talk through some of these topics tonight.

With the quarantine and the seemingly ensuing chaos, have we learned anything? Have we taken a minute as life has slowed down to change our perspective and learn something from all of this to progress into the future with? What have you learned?

Now more than ever we need real ministry. No gimmicks, no marketing, just a church reaching out and trying to meet the needs of the community. In this episode we discuss some ways that the church can evolve and practically reach out with real ministry.

Let's take a minute and chat, I'm going to take just a moment to share my heart, encourage, and just have a conversation with you about current events.

We are facing trying times, social distance is being encouraged. However, this doesn't mean we should disconnect, we have an opportunity to re-establish a human connection that has been lost. A brother is born from adversity, we can help each other grow during these difficult times and come out with some positives

Oftentimes we can be so focused on a circumstance or situation that we only pay attention to the "facts" that are presented instead of the whole truth. If you seek out the whole truth you won't allow fear to paralyze you.

Sometimes in life we hit detours that cause a course correction, cause us to travel an uncomfortable route, delaying us from our destination. But it's not a stop sign, if we can trust the sign maker we will continue to move forward and arrive at our destination.

Sometimes it's hard to be optimistic, it takes more than a positive mental attitude, but even during times of devastation we can still find a positive to focus on and rejoice!

We all face setbacks, struggles, disappointments, but are these blessings in disguise? Let's make the best of a bad situation, let's make a gourmet meal from leftovers.

We all face struggles, failures, and battles in our every day life. Sometimes we face them other times we may try to avoid them, regardless of of the motivation that drives our focus, if we have hit rock bottom or come out on top, the focus of our hope is pinpointed. The battles we face put us in a position to grow and help others.

Oftentimes we feel like we have to convince or push people towards our thought process and we do more harm than good. If you can just be good to people you will truly make an impact.

You might say, "Well, I don't think God's ever going to launch me out. I've had a lot of bad breaks. I've gone through a lot of disappointments in life." Think of it like this: When you have a bow and arrow, the more you pull the arrow back, the further it's going to shoot. If you just pull it back a little ways, if there's no pressure, no tension, it's not going to go very far. God has allowed yo...

Sometimes our environment is seemingly hazardous and that thing God has given us seems to far of a longshot, but God will make your feet like the hinds feet. He will make you the goat giving you sure footing, so what are you waiting for? Just Jump!
