You Are Valuable | Trent Shelton
About this video
Shelton addresses the common struggle of not feeling ’enough’ and argues that people mistakenly base their self-worth on external validation from relationships, jobs, social status, and others’ opinions. He teaches that worth is inherent because, according to his faith perspective, people were ‘created enough’ by God, and urges viewers to stop allowing external circumstances and other people’s treatment to control their self-esteem. Shelton warns against becoming a ‘puppet’ to these external forces and encourages viewers to recognize their unique, custom-made value independent of changing circumstances.
