God Was There the Whole Time | Rooted & Rising Podcast

Episode 5: God Was There the Whole Time In this fifth episode of Rooted & Rising, Kelly Beckert and Melissa Ordaz are joined by Pastor Louie Trevino, Lead Pastor of Harbor Christian Center, for a powerful and deeply honest conversation about redemption, calling, and recognizing God’s presence in every season of life. Pastor Louie shares his story of growing up far from faith, walking through addiction and brokenness, and encountering God in a way that forever transformed the direction of his life. ABOUT THIS EPISODE This episode is a reflection on how God works long before we recognize Him at work. Pastor Louie shares stories from his early life, his time in a gang, and the pivotal moments that led him to surrender his life to God. Through moments of divine intervention, unexpected encounters, and years of faithful obedience, his story reveals a God who never stopped pursuing him. Together, they explore what it looks like to hear God’s voice, learn to listen in quiet and ordinary moments, and grow in faith over decades rather than overnight. Pastor Louie speaks candidly about spiritual discipline, grace, unlearning legalism, and leading others from a place of humility and love. This conversation also reflects on God’s faithfulness seen most clearly in hindsight and challenges listeners to begin looking for God not only in the rearview mirror, but in the present moment. It is a reminder that God is with us everywhere, all the time, even when we do not yet realize it. Whether you are early in your faith journey, rebuilding after broken seasons, or simply learning to trust God day by day, this episode offers hope, encouragement, and a powerful reminder that God was there the whole time.
