Only Explainable by God — Liza Marie Garcia on Faith, Reinvention, and Building a Life Beyond Fear

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, listeners 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.

Liza also shares her incredible entrepreneurial journey: a Barnes & Noble book tour, a TEDx stage, bestselling books, and 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.

“Listen. Trust God. Take the step. Watch what happens.”

Bringing Bible Education to Public School Students — Through Business Leadership

What if your business leadership could help bring Bible education to public school students? That’s exactly what is happening across the country. More than 100,000 students across 34 states have participated in LifeWise Academy Bible classes — and Christian business leaders are uniquely positioned to help bring this opportunity to their own communities.

In a guest article for U.S. Christian Chamber News, LifeWise Academy Founder & CEO Joel Penton shares why you don’t have to be a pastor, teacher, or ministry leader to make an eternal impact. You may already have exactly what’s needed: leadership, relationships, influence, and the ability to build.

“What are you building today that will still matter long after you’re done building it?”

This Is How We Chamber: Building a Connected Network of Christian Business Leaders

THIS Is What Collaboration Looks Like

Our Kingdom Authors Collaborative met today, and Connie Martin and Jacquelyn Lynn led a fantastic conversation on turning books into audiobooks. But what made it powerful wasn’t just the topic. Authors shared experiences. Questions were answered. Tools and resources were exchanged. Ideas sparked more ideas.

Think about the bigger picture: What happens when we help Kingdom content travel farther? A book becomes an audiobook. A message reaches a new audience. One person’s experience helps another avoid a mistake. One connection opens another door. We multiply the impact.

That’s what this Chamber community is becoming — and we’re just getting started. If you’re not plugged in yet, don’t wait.

“Let’s multiply what God has placed in our hands. This is how we chamber.”
