Steve Harvey, the beloved talk show host and comedian, has often leaned on his faith to navigate the tumultuous waters of life. His resilience was particularly tested when NBC decided to end his daytime talk show, “Steve” (formerly “Steve Harvey”), after seven successful seasons. Despite this setback, Harvey’s unwavering belief in a higher power has kept him grounded.
The phrase, “When a door shuts, a window opens,” although not a Bible verse, has become a mantra for many facing adversity. It encourages the belief that faith and hope can guide us through the darkest times. For deeply religious individuals like Harvey, setbacks are seen not as defeats but as divine signals that greater opportunities are on the horizon.
Harvey’s show, which was a staple on NBC, fell victim to corporate reshuffling when Endeavor’s IMG Original Content took control. This shift led to the show’s replacement by “The Kelly Clarkson Show,” a decision that left Harvey and his fans disheartened. During the final season, Harvey voiced his displeasure to Variety, criticizing the network’s handling of the situation.
Despite the professional blow, Harvey refused to let this challenge weaken his faith. Instead, he turned to his followers on Instagram to share an uplifting message. In a heartfelt video, Harvey spoke about the inevitability of change and the importance of trusting in God’s plan. “They’re gon’ close the door on me in 2019,” he said. “All of this indicates that God may have another door waiting for me to unlock.”
