About this video

Shelton recounts his decision to walk away from professional football to pursue what he believes was God’s calling for his life. He describes how obeying this faith-based decision, despite it making no financial or logical sense at the time, brought him unexplainable peace and led to the founding of RehabTime. Shelton argues that living according to one’s divine purpose means opportunities will find you rather than requiring constant pursuit.
