God's call

About this video

Shelton uses the metaphor of missing a phone call to explain why people fail to respond to what he describes as God’s call on their lives. He identifies three stages: not hearing the call because people are too focused on worldly distractions, hearing but ignoring the call (which he illustrates with a personal story about missing a call from the Houston Texans that he believes cost him his NFL career), and finally answering the call. Shelton urges viewers to stop ignoring what he presents as God’s purpose for their lives and to answer that call immediately.
