In this episode of the Always Better Than Yesterday Podcast, host Ryan Hartley sits down with his wife, Liza Hartley, for one of the most raw and revealing conversations on the show to date.
Fuelled by a love of bold, heavy sounds and a heart set on truth, Liza Hartley—releasing under the name For Kingdom’s Cause—blends raw emotion, real-life experiences, and unshakable faith into her music.
But this didn’t come easily.
Liza opens up about losing her sense of identity in the roles of “mum” and “wife,” navigating seasons of self-doubt, and realising that the life she was living—while good—wasn’t fully aligned with who she was created to be.
What follows is a story of remembering.
Through creativity, faith, and courage, she began reconnecting with a voice that had always been there—one now expressed through her upcoming album Messagesfor Warfare.
This episode explores the internal battles we all face: truth vs lies, fear vs faith, and authenticity vs expectation. It’s a powerful reminder that the life you’re searching for might already exist within the one you have.
At its heart, this episode is about Messages for Warfare—notjust an album, but a call to stand firm, reject the lies, and live fully in truth.
