Sometimes, I wonder if we still make time for that kind of deep listening—those moments of quiet reflection that challenge us to think more deeply about life.
One of Paul Harvey’s most memorable contributions was an essay he wrote and revised over the years. It’s been interpreted in many ways—metaphorically, spiritually, and literally—and it continues to spark conversation today.
Perhaps one of his most iconic broadcasts was his reading of “So God Made a Farmer,” a heartfelt tribute to the hardworking individuals who care for the land and community. First delivered in 1978 and later adapted for a widely recognized Super Bowl commercial, the piece struck a powerful chord. Its message, set against stunning imagery and Harvey’s unforgettable voice, reminded listeners of the quiet strength and resilience found in everyday people.
Whether you grew up listening to Paul Harvey or discovered his work later on, his legacy remains timeless. His words still resonate—not just for their wisdom, but for the comfort they bring in uncertain times.
As Harvey often reminded us: “And now you know… the rest of the story.”
