Ep 12: God-Made, Self Driven w/ Dustin Bertrand
Manage episode 509493638 series 3676487
In this powerful episode of The Elevation Room, I sit down with missionary and evangelist Dustin Bertrand, who opens up about a story that’s as unexpected as it is inspiring. From discovering the truth about his birth to undergoing open-heart surgery in college, Dustin shares the deeply personal moments that shaped his identity and his calling.
We talk about father wounds, racial identity, heartbreak, and the intense moments of surrender that led him into full-time ministry. His story will challenge you to trust God in the unknown, embrace your story—no matter how messy—and keep moving forward into your purpose.
🔑 Topics:
- Identity, forgiveness, and healing
- Finding purpose through pain
- What seminary taught him (and why he left)
- Living with discipline and walking in faith
- Why “God sees more than I can see and knows more than I can know” became a personal lifeline
This one’s full of real talk, deep insight, and encouragement for anyone feeling stuck, unseen, or unsure of where to go next. You’re not alone—and your story isn’t over.
