Join us for another inspiring episode of the Dallas Metro Podcast, featuring special guest David Garza and our host, Pastor Clay. David, a Fort Worth native, shares his remarkable journey of faith and resilience. Born in Louisville but raised in the 817 area, David spent his early years in Grapevine and South Lake, Texas, overcoming challenges like the loss of his father at age seven. Now a devoted husband to Lucia and father to daughters Ariana (15) and Eva (6), David lives near Northeast Mall in Fort Worth. His career as a retail development manager for T-Mobile spans over two decades, and he recently launched Trinity Roast, a coffee roasting side hustle with his wife, reflecting his entrepreneurial spirit and love for community.

In this episode, David recounts his path from a single-parent household to becoming a pillar of strength, guided by his Christian upbringing and the lessons from his parents. He shares fond memories of his father playing the accordion during church services and how his faith has been a cornerstone throughout his life. Introduced to Dallas Metro through his friend Vince at Abundant Life church, David spent years volunteering, particularly with youth in South Dallas. He describes the transformative impact of Dallas Metro, a ministry that offers a safe haven and spreads love and faith to children in the community, emphasizing its vital role in changing lives for the better.

David’s story is a testament to breaking cycles and embracing personal responsibility, even in the face of adversity. He offers heartfelt advice to young people from single-parent homes, encouraging them to stay strong in their faith and take action to forge a better path. David also shares a moving prayer in Spanish for those seeking guidance. Pastor Clay and David discuss Dallas Metro’s vision to build a debt-free ministry center to empower the next generation, urging listeners to visit dallasmetro.org, explore the “All In” section, and consider a sacrificial gift to support this life-changing mission. Tune in for a conversation filled with hope, faith, and a call to action to make a difference in South Dallas.
