In our very first episode of Rooted & Rising, co-hosts Kelly Beckert and Melissa Ordaz sit down for a conversation that sets the tone for everything this podcast hopes to be. Together, they reflect on Kelly’s lifelong “God story” - the people, moments, and quiet reminders that have shaped her faith over time.
This episode is an invitation to pause and remember. To look back at where God has been present, even in seasons we may not have recognized it at the time. Through honest reflection, thoughtful questions, and moments of lightness along the way, Kelly shares how her roots were formed and how her faith continues to grow.
Whether you’re listening with a long history of faith or simply curious about where God shows up in everyday life, this opening conversation creates space to reflect, celebrate, and begin the journey together.
