The Happy Hour #346: Rondell Treviño

My guest for The Happy Hour #346 is Rondell Treviño. Rondell Treviño is the Founder and Director of The Immigration Coalition—a faith-based non-profit providing clean drinking water to Latino, Immigrant, Migrant, and Asylum-Seeking communities along the U.S.-Mexico Border. Rondell speaks on issues of Immigration and engaging in politics from a biblical perspective at Churches, organizations, and conferences around the United States. Rondell has written and been featured in several publications, including The Gospel Coalition, Christianity Today, and The Washington Post. Rondell is happily married to Laura Treviño, and is the proud father to Sofia and Charlotte.

I have been wanting to chat with Rondell for a long time and I’m so happy we made it happen! In today’s episode, we talk about the sanctifying rollercoaster of 2020, what led him to starting the Immigration Coalition and how we can partner with them to provide clean water at the border! Rondell also talks about how to engage with politics in healthy and biblical ways, remembering that we are citizens of heaven above all. I love when he says “People feel like you have to choose a side. You don’t have to choose an extreme side. There’s always a balance that Jesus brings to the table.” That is such an important reminder. Our identity is not found in our politics or our views on what we think is the best way to solve a problem. Our identity is found solely in Christ and our devotion to Him. I love hearing about the work that Rondell is doing and I’m so thankful for his voice in these conversations!​
