The Shepherd at Work

Saturday, July 18, 2026 - 26 minutes

Are you living a life that is only explainable by God?

That's the question this episode leaves hanging in the air.

Because more than once, people have looked at Liza Marie Garcia and told her:

"God is showing off through you."

And after hearing her story, you'll understand exactly why.

Krystal sits down with entrepreneur, publisher, author, TEDx speaker, and founder of NOW Publishing, Liza Marie Garcia, for a powerful conversation about faith, courage, identity, and what happens when you stop trying to build life your way and start partnering with God.

Liza's story begins as a single mom with two young daughters making a cross-country move from Seattle to Tampa.

No guarantees.

No perfect plan.

Just faith.

What makes Liza's story so compelling is that her breakthrough didn't come through conventional business strategies or carefully engineered success. It came through leaning into God, becoming secure in who He created her to be, surrounding herself with spiritual mentors, building faith aligned friendships, and faithfully serving in her local church.

Those decisions became the catalyst for everything that followed.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that success often begins long before the promotion, the business launch, the bestselling book, or the public recognition.

It begins with surrender.

In this episode, you'll hear:

• How faith helped Liza rebuild her life and business from the ground up

• Why identity is the foundation for sustainable success

• The importance of spiritual mentors and community

• How serving faithfully opens doors you could never open yourself

• Why nothing in God's Kingdom is ever wasted

Liza also shares her incredible entrepreneurial journey:

A Barnes & Noble book tour.

A TEDx stage.

Bestselling books.

A publishing company reaching readers around the world.

And through it all, one message remains clear:

Look at God.

This episode will encourage anyone who feels stuck, uncertain, or afraid to take the next step.

Because sometimes the greatest breakthroughs begin with a simple act of obedience.

And sometimes the life God builds becomes impossible to explain any other way.
