About Rooted

How We Got Started

God has been “downloading” acronyms to our Chief Visionary, Lou, for more than 10 years. At first, he wasn’t really sure what to do with them. Then, he started writing them down and sharing them with friends and family.

One day, someone suggested, “Why not put these on t-shirts?” After a few brainstorming sessions, Rooted was born! And we’re not stopping at just shirts. The product line will only expand from here.

Each acronym and design (on a wide variety of products) is a reflection of God’s guidance and serves as a powerful tool to spark meaningful conversations about faith, hope, and love.
