About this listen

Liz sits down for a virtual coffee with James Talarico, a Texas leader shaped by faith, service, and a deep commitment to “love thy neighbor.” James shares how his granddad’s teaching—love God and love neighbor—became the foundation of his public service, first as a public school teacher in San Antonio and later in the Texas House. He reflects on growing up with a single mom, the life-changing love that built his family, and how servant leadership and relationships make it possible to work across differences. The conversation also explores his seminary journey, why he defends the separation of church and state, how he invests in young leaders, and why joy is more than happiness—it’s calm, peace, and light in darkness.
