Unstoppable Faith: Lessons from the Shedeur Sanders Journey

I am now a Browns fan.

Growing up I was a Redskins fan because my father was a Redskins Fan. This year I'd decided I wanted to pick my own team, but I couldn't decide where I wanted to be.

I could NEVER be a Cowboys Fan for obvious reasons.

I didn't want to pick a team someone I know already cheers for, I wanted MY OWN STORY. Enter into the chat, Shedeur Sanders!

Every now and then, life gives us a front-row seat to a miracle in motion — a real-time reminder that purpose is louder than doubt and destiny is stronger than delay. This season, that reminder came through Shedeur Sanders.

When the NFL Draft came around, Shedeur wasn’t picked as high as some expected. Analysts debated his potential. People questioned his readiness.

Opinions were loud, and the projections weren’t always kind. For many, that might have looked like a setback — a sign to shrink, question yourself, or accept the labels others try to place on you.

But here’s the beautiful thing about God:

He does not consult public opinion before He completes His plan.

Despite every doubt, despite not going as high in the draft, Shedeur Sanders is now stepping into the role of starting quarterback. Not because man approved it. Not because critics predicted it. But because God ordained it.

This is what happens when favor is on your life.

This is what happens when purpose is assigned to your name.

This is what happens when you stay faithful, keep working, keep showing up, and trust the process even when the journey doesn’t look the way you imagined.

Some of us know that feeling all too well — being overlooked, underestimated, or counted out. Maybe someone told you that you weren’t qualified. Maybe circumstances made it look like you were behind. Maybe life didn’t elevate you the way you thought it would, as fast as you thought it should.

But the Shedeur Sanders story is a powerful reminder:

God’s timing is undefeated.

You cannot miss what God has for you. You cannot be blocked from what God has promised you. And no draft ranking, no delay, no detour, and no person can stop what God has already ordained for your life.

When God says “This is your moment,” it will be your moment — whether people expect it or not.

So take this as encouragement today:

Keep going.

Keep believing.

Keep preparing.

Don’t let temporary setbacks make you think God has forgotten you. He’s just positioning you for a reveal that will silence every doubt and magnify His glory.

Just like Shedeur, your story isn’t over — it’s just getting started.

What God has for you, no man can thwart.
