Trent Shelton

Absolutely. Some people will think like, there's two experiences. I mean, I always say there's the protect your peace trend where people are like, man, Trenton is on his own. They see like the athlete side where I'm pressing the gas. But it's all of those things. But it's also knowing, like in a race, you know your pace. Sometimes you got to run faster. sometimes you gotta slow down.

Sometimes you got to run faster. sometimes you gotta slow down.

But you can't look at the next person and say, oh, I should be running faster because the person in year 15 is doing this. So I'm gonna do it. The person that started the podcast, you know, 10 years ago, I'm expecting to get the same amount of downloads. So I'm gonna do all the things. And we sit here, we compare ourselves. And it's like, no, this is my journey. This is my journey that I'm on.

And it's like, no, this is my journey. This is my journey that I'm on.

And sometimes it's gonna be a season of busy, a season of dad, a season of everything, but I'm still at peace. Because I'm loyal to my pace. So when I need rest, I rest. When I need to go, I go. And I'm okay with that because I know at some point the finish line that's meant for me to cross will be there. And it might not look like the next person's finish line, but I'm okay with that.

So that's a big part of knowing your worth. It's a big part of being confident in who you are, a big part of knowing that what God has for you has for you. That's a big part because if you don't, you're going to think that I'm supposed to be doing all of these things. Not that you can't get influenced and motivated by someone else, but that's still their life. That's still their journey.

So I might not have that or have this, but I have what I need and I'm okay with that.

Yeah, experience. You know, I grew up in a church, so it was easy. My dad, my grandmother, my mother. But for so long in my life, it was the relationship that they gave me. You know, I believe because this is what you're supposed to do. You're supposed to go to church three days a week. And I believe because of that. But that wasn't a true belief. That was a given belief.

That was a given belief.

And I had to learn how to seek God for myself and build that relationship. So my relationship with God doesn't look like on paper, maybe what it looks like for everybody else. And I just told you before I got here, I went to the ocean and I find God there. I believe nature is God's natural medicine for the soul.

So I'm in the woods, I'm doing all these things and that's where I find God and that's strengthened my relationship. But it's my journey of me being seven years old with asthma, pretty much flatlining in the ICU at seven years old. And me realizing that there's a purpose for my life. Me losing my NFL career and thinking that what else is there to my life? And now I'm living in my purpose.

Me almost, oh man, losing my daughter. Holding her in my hands and almost losing her. So these experiences, that's where my relationship is built. And so I tell people all the time, you can hear things, you can read books, but it's the experience that strengthens the belief. And so for me, God is real because of what I've seen in my life and how he's worked in my life.
