Acceptance

About this video

He argues that lack of understanding shouldn’t create lack of trust, citing his interpretation of Jeremiah 29:11 to support his belief that God is protecting rather than punishing people through hardship. Shelton teaches that acceptance of situations, even without understanding them, is necessary for healing and moving forward according to his faith perspective.
