Tyrese Gibson with Steve Harvey on TBN Jun 10, 2011 Interview

[@Songwriter-jv9sf]

7 Years ago I was homeless, sad,suicidal,hopeless.. This video changed my life and made me successful somewhat..

[@JaelSupstar]

I'm in-love with Tyrese even more...I love to hear a man of God speak

[@ChosenQueen83]

This is my first time viewing this and I agree with Tyrese. However Christians do not believe in horoscopes. I'm not judging but only stating the truth. But for the most part Tyrese is an amazing man with an amazing anointing on his life. God is not done with him.

[@nylashaddai]

Wow I have never seen Tyrese in this lights. He has a beautiful mind.

[@TheElder11]

You brothers inspire me to hold on to my visions and dreams, They're bigger than my circumstances.. God bless you and your families!!!

[@ltmerica93]

This was great! I could listen to Tyrese all day. I love the way he speaks and I love the way he talks about God.

[@kathleendunton241]

I got chills when brother Tyrese G; mentioned the title of his book, because God himself said those same words in a dream to me sometime ago; now this is my confirmation.

[@earlcaesar440]

Anybody that chooses to follow Christ must first deny himself...

[@FamilyValuesTV]

We gotta stop focussing on how much YOU love God n focus on how much GOD loves u. That's when true revival comes, that's when FREEDOM comes Tyrese is Free. Its not a religion for him its a relationship.

[@BrotherBry]

Come as you are is more a church saying. I haven't seen in it scripture. I do believe God wants everyone to come to his house as they are but He wants us to leave the sinful lifestyle alone and leave in the past. It won't happen overnight but if one truly opens his heart, mind, and soul to Jesus then he will walk away from his sinful ways.

[@dejuanawilson8898]

I love this man !!!! He is a very wise man and that's the reason I love him. Just listen and he will take you there.

[@ShytownGirl1]

Come on Tyreese!!! Bring IT!!! Say the PRAISE!! God speaks through many

[@patriciaturner5499]

I am confused, I see Tyrese throwing up Illuminati symbols when he is in public eye, If the real GOD is who he serving, you cannot serve two masters, GOD is a jealous GOD. BE BLESS!, CHOOSE LIFE!

[@jewlzik]

Best interview Tyrese gave by far! It even made me pray in the end!

[@adriennaturner]

Thank you! I needed that word...pray for strength with the unfamiliar. I do have an issue with the "fear of the unknown"! I am praying for a newness in 2014!

[@sarakassi2009]

I read the comments as I watch the video. This my thought you take the good and use it leave that which you dis agree with. I was blessed because I can see the Lord working in him.

[@goinssonyad]

Thank you Steve Harvey and Tyrese for keeping it real about trying to walk with God.

[@7systa]

Now, I like Tyrese too, but as Christians we got to watch what a person said, I heard lots of claps for the comment he was a Capricorn(astrology), we are not, as CHRISTIANS to follow that stuff, (Deuteronomy 18; 9-14), finally, THE WORD OF GOD IS TRUE, AND FINAL, NO COMPROIMISING..HAVE FAITH AND GROW IN 'JESUS CHRIST'...LUV YA!!!

[@RobynAnnL]

I am sure Tyrese believes in God, even Jesus, but we think that is the same definition of a Christian. Its not. I appreciate Tyrese' search for truth and acknowledging the source of his talents, but a Christian is a "follower of Christ" -- not a follower of money, follower of people, or follower of "the sexy" - but the person who will only go where Christ would go. Of course, its never too late to become that - so I pray God continues to capture His heart fully :)

[@DrBlessedBlake]

So much compromise of the Gospel of Christ. It is just promoting not truely LIVING for Christ and following the words of the Bible.

[@kalondraturner2368]

Paul said he became all things to all men. And he never put down his salvation. Jesus was walking Salvation when he forgave the prostitute he was walking Salvation when he forgave the woman caught in adultery, and openly put on blast the man in the crowd who was about to throw the rock to stone her oh yeah he was among the crowd. So I don't know why "Saints" seem to think we shouldn't be in unseemly places. How else are the lost going to be found? If God called you to look for them..Disciples you have to go where they are. A light can be illuminated with other light..we shine brightest in dark places. Let the baby Christians grown up, and fall down..we suppose to be there to help them up. A righteous man falls SEVEN TIMES..BUT THE WICKED FALL AND STAY DOWN. There are five callings, Jesus gave SOME to be Ephesians 6 :10.. that means everyone has a position and roll to play..know yours!! Go head Mr. GIBSON!!

[@louiseottley4995]

kalondra, u preach, i got saved 8 yrs now and sometimes u wonder what some Christian really are always want to judge

[@imoboxingtalk5394]

kalondra turner allow me to offer this, if Jesus would have let the prostitute be stoned, she would've died in her sins, if Jesus would've walked away with the rest, she would've kept living in her sins, instead He showed compassion and followed it with the command of go and sin no more. being filled with gratitude, the woman gladly turned from her sin so she neither died or continued to live in it. That's what Jesus died for, not to give the right to sin. The church has been tricked by satan, as soon as someone says we shouldn't do something, we hide behind the "don't judge me" phrase, when the Bible teaches to love Godly correction. The love that Jesus has, leads people away from sin into life, and that's the kind of love we should have

[@imoboxingtalk5394]

kalondra turner and the word also says that God called us to be separate. so we don't need to look like the world to reach out to the world

[@sonyablessed]

Acknowledge him in ALL your ways!!! He shall direct your path!!!

[@tialonskincareproducts]

Come as you are means come as you with braids, bagage as you are. problems whatever come as you are and many Christians don't realize what that means and you can't be perfected over night. It's a process me I am a Christian and my religion is Christianity. Which I believe in Christ and I am not perfect. I struggle because I still listen to secular music even though I watch the lyrics. But I still choose to go to church and go as I am with my flaws and all that. But it doesn't mean I love Him any less than. I know its a process and we as Christians got to realize just what it says...Come As You Are Mean!!!

[@Angel29luv]

I have a new found respect for Tyrese. He was already one of my favorite entertainers. So to know he also shares some of my same spiritual ideas on top of his birthday being the day after mine, gives me a sense of peace. I know I love God but I'm not perfect. So this gave me the assurance that it's not always about who you are or what you do, it's what's inside you that God cares about.

[@joseph_wyattp2721]

Steve harvey

[@Itz-All-Gud]

Who is his God? We don't all serve the same God; some serve the god of this world!

[@imoboxingtalk5394]

some Christians are critical and some are self protective against awkward teachings. The word does says not to love the things of this world, for if you love the things of this world then the love of the Father is not in you. not one time does the Bible teach being sexy to get people to church or saved. you can tell a tree by its fruit, so when you talk God and then use vulgar language because someone paid you to then it doesn't show much commitment to God. do not be fooled, God will not be mocked. for whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap. if you sow unto the flesh you reap corruption and if you sow unto the Spirit you will reap everlasting life.

[@MsKOmedian]

Sorry, Tyrese..your "walk" and your "talk" DO have to coincide, dear.....and folks don't HAVE to "SAG"...pull ya pants up, in the house of the Lord...... Every thing else was pretty on point...

[@THEDOORIZCLOSED]

I don't know this guy, but I'm certainly praying for him. All I know is that I'm not sure he's talking about the same God we think he is....unfortunately

[@esthernanyaro6258]

We (christians)all have different stories to tell on how we have become a Christian. Some had no struggles while some had (depending on the grace of God and purpose in one's life). To become a follower of Christ is a choice we make but we can never do it without God's help because we have no enough power to fight against the devil (Ephesians 6:10-18) but God. To become a true Christian we have to go through a process in which we are supposed to be obedient to God in every step no matter how hard it is, and when we are weak His grace is sufficient (2Corinthians 12:9). God works in us first before the world see the change in us. But God's grace is never to be taken for granted, never. When God wills, in His own time and manner- will transform you completely and make you a new person in Christ Jesus.

[@deniseholsapple4893]

Just maybe my minds changed about Tyree. Deep man I like him.

[@leviticusjohnson1366]

Steve Harvey & Tyrese Gibson!

[@publishedcontent]

+Leviticus Johnson both were hilarious... even when tyrese was being sentimental

[@vangouh33]

correction: a Saint was a Sinner who IS born again. quote the bible not Donny McClurkin.

[@grace777d]

Tyrese is sharing his experience with honesty and candor. Sometimes people find it difficult when people are being themselves. The easy thing for him to do would be to front and use a phraseology that would be pleasing to people's ears. But, when you have had a tough life on the road of hard knocks, and you are trying to keep it real, playing pretend just isn't on your list.

[@adolce9421]

For those of us whose walk is not where you wish or hope it should be, please don't give up for God the creator is still working in you and me. Stay strong and let God know that He forever loves you, and that you are righteousness and holy in Him. Amen!

[@deniseholsapple822]

WOW, SMART GUY. MORE DOWN TO EARTH AND SENCE HE MAKES. GOD BLESS.

[@Muzikmanflames]

The word says "In all thy ways Acknowledge Him and He shall direct your path

[@latifahwilliams8898]

I respect it were he sad Christian is very judgment I fall in love with a church and once they know I was a lesbian they judgment me and my family

[@iamceceanderson]

@WillyEMS85 its sooo true... everyone talks about God but Jesus is a name that most are scared to say because demons will flee and its sooo powerful! So if you aint in the right place its a hard name to say. Not talking or judging Steve or Tyrese though because Jesus knows them, their lives aren't my business.

[@allisterphillip2899]

Would be nice to of heard something about our savior Jesus though!!! Untill we learn how serious this God that we serve really is, our perspective on motivational speaking and minstering his word will never separate! Btw the bible does say the Righteous shall judge the Righteous

[@FamilyValuesTV]

Allister Phillip you do t not have to say his name to teach his principles

[@SumthynnSpecial]

come as you are but don't stay where you are

[@misskia1977]

it good 2 know that tyrese and steve harvery believe in jesus christ .but as a christian you should be different from the world let your light so shine before men so they can see your good work and glorified your father which is in heaven.as a child of god you should be pure from the world.when you are solider you have to follow the rule of your commander so why cant christian follow the words of god and be is true follower.

[@deekee22]

There are some great points being made but I disagree with the statment about it doesn't matter if your walk doesn't match your talk as long as your talking about him. That is so wrong, we can't allow people to believe that it is ok to do sinful things and then say it ok because I talk about God. To me that is stratiling the fence and God doesn't want lukewarm be for him with your whole heart or the other. Not saying that we won't mess up but that can't be your excuse.

[@lorrell]

the comments really are interesting here, but i don't see any as negative... just people sharing opinions this type of discussion is desperately needed between Christians, believers, and even "church folk" when you guys get a chance please search out a little 11 year old gospel singer named Jelly Rose She is not the usual young gospel singer singing "grandma's " songs and lyrics youtube search Jelly Rose singing "Suicide", "Spiritual High", and "Billion Reasons"

[@ericvineproductions]

67 thumbs up?! That's why I left Christianity. You guys argue too much and are too judgemental. I still believe in Jesus and the bible but I'm done with that religion. And to think logically and with reason is not encouraged. How is it that someone could go to church for 10 years and not be any wiser? That just doesn't make sense to me

[@AMBERSHARNIECE]

wow! love this!

[@Francojacko]

This is AWesome... although Some of the IGNANT folks online or in the church will doubt that Actors of Famous folks cant be SAVED....as if JESUS only died for the UNKNOWN..... yall need to quit.. Good Job Tyrese and Steve harvey!!!!

[@msasiadc83]

I respectTyrese but I dont'hear consistency as him being a Christian or a follower of Christ. I love his mind though cause he is only being honest but it doesn't sound so right to me.

[@platinump77]

when are people gonna stop judge people that not you job god is the judge look at ur self cuz we all got fault no one perfect its a shame the people red eye other god forgive them

[@THEDOORIZCLOSED]

I don't know this guy, but I'm certainly praying for him.

[@onlytymecantell]

@takitheterrible Of course you can't support the discussion. It's not about you. It's about getting to know GOD in or out of the church.

[@glasgowafricanonlineradio5241]

thank you so much men Tyrese

[@milstonfilston]

'the sinners'! let he who is without sin cast the first stone...you are the problem with christianity!be cool, just relax yourself!

[@YNGM1991]

he just said he a Capricorn! that's witch craft! God help tyrese as well as me in our Christian walk!!!

[@splendidtime1]

I'm glad he is a christian

[@merqui97]

Man! Whys everyone saying his talk is bigger then his walk. Which one of you knows him personally and knows what he's going through? He's just like you and I. He took this opportunity getting God out there! This is what's wrong with us through people's eyes! This is why people call Christians hypocrites. Take care of the 2x4 out of your eye before you judge him for his thorn. He is a Christian publicly and that's what matters. He knows God, its more then what most people can say

[@publishedcontent]

+merquiades McLellan claiming to be a christian publicly does not mean that the heavenly father will just excuse inequity

[@vundalewebb2397]

merquiades McLellan. you think that he is living for the LORD if you read your bible you can tell Either make the tree good and his fruit good or else make the tree corrupt and his fruit corrupt for the tree is known by his fruit and can clearly see these fruits of these trees man. and steve you can't say I'm a follower of JESUS and do a stand up and cussing for a living and say its ok its my job or sing sinful sex music and say I'm a follower of JESUS sorry don't work like that you can call ad label yourself all you want listen once you have the Spirit of GOD in you, You want remain in sin HE want let you thats what you called being born again now if you or anyone you know is saying im save and still sining they are not save not saying that you can't be save and end up going back into the world bc you can do that also but once you have come to the LORD and walked away and let HIM return while you are still out there sining you or anybody don't want to get caught like that it would've been better for you not even been born to walk away from the MOST HIGH be bless read your bible KING JAMES only NIV is the devil book its missing all kinds of stuff out of it and stop let these so called starts lead you and your friends and family away from GOD JESUS. is the only way to the FATHER

[@emejota7850]

merquiades McLellan "getting God out there"? It's a Christian station in place for decades

[@donhogan6887]

This is a new response to an old video; to answer your question.....I knew him since he was a child; He and his family lived on the next block directly behind me across the alley that separated our houses. He is still my boy, but I am a bit disappointed in the things that I see today. God is not about our financial successes, but spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ. The scriptures says that it is harder for a rich man to enter heaven than a camel going through the eye of a needle. Steve Harvey says that he had been friends with Tyrese and knows him well, but if that is the case, then his walk with God is also based on finances versus a loving relationship. Tyrese has had a lot of help from me and others and chooses not to acknowledge that information.

[@hansbeg6602]

Don Hogan so what is your point

[@Francojacko]

@WillyEMS85 heck i dont know.. but does that means somone isnt SAVED just cuz they Dont Mention JESUS?

[@theszecretszecret1431]

Good Interview....

U goooo on tyreseee loveee dissss...keep walking with God, Keep seeking him!!

[@SpindaBellaradio]

My goodl friend from South Central and we were both born in Watts and we went to the same church. He is such an inspiration.

[@harrisonk0606]

Strong powerful words

[@JusTipp]

Awesome! Love to see when people embrace where they come from and relate their success to His divine plan. God loves everyone, whether we choose to except His love or reject it, He is still there waiting to give us everything that we may stand in the need of. All we must do is follow His word in our lives and live a life full of faith in His Son. Great Interview!!!!

[@IseeYouQueen]

isn't calling someone else a hypocrite being a hypocrite in itself? The God i know didn't send us to judge others.

[@johncook5738]

I love listening to Tyrese, very kind hearted, positive, inspiring person! One love! The whole room just got warmed up in here.

[@f.ivyyoung3068]

Very impactful sharing. God bless you, Tyrese.

[@deloachrd]

Being a Christian is always a work in progress.

[@MrJamaica60]

And his mentor was will smith...he inspired this book!!!

[@hatembentaarabt9002]

God bless Tyrese Gibson

[@queenessie1]

i love me some brotha tyree!!

[@kyrafieldshypolite]

And that's why i love this man i love his perspective on things he looks from the outide of the box.

[@kooky1014]

I love me some tyrese

[@Thatmanzo_]

This man is in the spritual process with God! And it might not be visible to you and that's okay because it's his process not yours! God always has a plan and he always knows! Don't judge his methods or his beliefs. The Lord is the only and final judge of us all! May the Lord bless you all! Amen!

[@simplychristin]

We've all come short of the Glory of God. So why judge Tyrese for who he is and how he is. And think that him Knowing who the source is and understanding who gave him his gifts. No im not justifying what he does because if you have real talent you shouldn't have to alter yourself for that. But i think the only way to fully draw men unto Christ is to love them through everything and guide them through their faults not judge them. Judging them pushes them away. the fact is he's trying to change.

[@greedt4lif]

People that don't know you, should always know that God is your source, because you will express it in you living. It is important for us believers to live as belivers. Being a Christian is a life style not just a title. I am proud to see this side of Tyrese, but this is to be expected on TBN as it is a Christian network. However, I challenge you to allow this part of you to shine everywhere else! I pray the peace and influence of God to continue to move in your life.

[@TRUVIPRINCESS]

Wow I have a whole new appreciation for Tyrese....

[@31kittykatty]

What are you talking about? Why is it that as so called Christians we are so quick to judge and define what being a true Christian is. God has given Tyreses a gift which has brought him money, fans and, as you put it 'the sexy'. What's wrong with that - nothing I say. Be a good Christian and don't judge. God bless.

[@bowiehs]

Although I do disagree with some things he has said, He is a working process. I do pray that he studies the Bible more and not rely on knowledge, we have to only rely on the word of God. I pray that he would continue to grow in Christ and mature in Him. We as saints have no room to judge by appearance but only righteously.

[@inosuplsupload]

yassssss tyrese

[@Ashabobo]

I love Tyrese and his book seems good. Bible does not say come as you are, but I agree let God scale off of ppl what may not be needed, let the kids come to church and GOD does the working out. WE are to pray and agree w/GOD. But I wanna hear the name of JESUS come out of one of their mouths b/c the devil is tricky, he can use ppl and they wont even know it, but I'm glad they're on their way to knowing God more and more. Thank God for Steve and Tyrese.

[@ablessing1967]

Unless you have really read the book that he has written, it disqualifies most of the opinions posted! I'm not saying he is correct in every area, but are we? His message is that "God gives you hope beyond your circumstances." I have the book and it really helps me to understand how we as Christians look to those that want Christ but not how we present Him oftentimes. Listen to the heart of what he is saying and don't let what you don't agree with tear apart the heart of the message.

[@opinionatorX]

WOW! For the most part this interview pacifies the sinner. I'm not saying that everything being said is wrong but it waters down what we are really suppose to be doing and standing for Jesus Christ. And really though. Praying for God to help you sing sinful songs right??? Go to the word and see what the word of God says about singing sinful songs.

[@7systa]

HE MAKING GOOD SENSE, PEOPLE ON THAT LEVEL OR THINK LIKE HIM CAN IENTIFY AND MAYBE THEY WILL SEEK 'CHRIST,JESUS' FOR THEM SELVES, ALTHO I DIDN AGREE WITH EVERY THING HE SAID...I UNDERSTOOD WHERE HE COMING FROM...WE MUST READ OUR BIBLES AND LET GOD TEACH US THE WORD...

[@therookieblue]

@WillyEMS85 I actually saw the rerun of this program a few days ago and they said Jesus many times through the the show. this is just a part of the 2 program, and they must of not said for this part of the show.in all i'm sure it wasn't on purpose that they don't say in the video.

[@jntcollege]

@christbeliever92 You must be quiet when it comes to judging....everyone judges....we have to judge right though..as the bible says making righteous judgment not judging outer appearances..

[@EvangelistGreen]

I am proud of my brother! People who have something negative to say about his method of success are usually the same perception-oriented excuse-making "Religion-without-Relationship (with Christ) conformist. As a Minister of Music, I don't see much of a difference between the world and this false standard of Christianity that we try to impose onto "Secular" Celebrities who are saved. Especially when ALL of our churches have become Landmarks of PowerLESS Routine & Social Significance!

[@debykins]

I didn't agree with everything Tyrese said. But I think he with the prayers of the saints will develop and grow in knowledge & wisdom of what God really wants. But he is headed in the right direction. I pray that will bring him in the all HIS truths

[@wjperdue]

To a point I agree but how do we account for the grace of God? God's grace is to draw us out but until we come out He still gives grace. Somehow we think the first grace God gives is saving grace but that's not true. God is the master locksmith if you will. He has the combination to the heart and soul and He works at levels we can't understand.

[@ntrimm1]

I've read most of the comments on here. All of us are sinners...none of us are perfect. Most of us are a work in progress, as is Mr. Gibson. I tell folks all the time....I'm certainly not where I want to be, but definintely not where I used to be, and making baby steps in the right direction is so much more than remaining stagnant.

[@vesselsofhonor202]

@willyEMS85 They are mentioning the name of Jesus He said JESUS IS MY SOURCE. and talking about Jesus is mention JESUS pastors talk about Jesus teach about Jesus. HUM ????

[@tonyfrancis3997]

this man is def one of my Top 3 fav celeb inspirations

[@Farita4me4us]

Can I hear an Amen??!! I love this man!

[@angustepuni1068]

Although this man is not meeting Your expectations as a christian, just remember He is open to God, if He chooses to let God fully saturate His life that would be awesome. Don't judge Him though ""If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone" just pray for Him and ourselves

[@MrBigmeljr08]

Truth. I think that the scary thing is people take us Singers and actors to build their walk with Christ. When the only example you should use is JESUS.

[@themicson2]

If you listen to the singer song writer of "sinful songs" in his tune and words you hear a genuine testimony. God honors that and he deals with us by moving out the stuff that's not kingdom building. just follow Tyrese God Got em he will be preaching and singing god song before long. and pray for the brother. don't Judge him
