In this episode of Seasoned with Salt, we dive into the powerful truth of Romans 8:30 and how it applies to your life: “Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.” Many people feel the pressure to seek validation from others—whether it’s approval, favoritism, or a sense of belonging. But relying on man’s qualification can lead to insecurity and disappointment. Instead, we’ll explore how God’s process of predestining, calling, justifying, and glorifying gives you an unshakable advantage. This episode will empower you to stop seeking human validation and start walking in the confidence that comes from being qualified by God. You’re not just chosen for what’s now—you’re equipped and ready for what’s next.
