Rev. Shelton was ordained by Bishop George W. Brooks, pastor of Mount Zion Baptist Church in Greensboro, North Carolina. He is currently a member of New Psalmist Baptist Church in Baltimore.

Rev. Shelton talks with Mark Viviano about his unique role as a chaplain and life coach for a National Football League team, sharing his faith journey and his responsibilities as a spiritual mentor in the ultra-competitive world of professional sports.
