Faith Over Fear

""A powerful story of faith, perseverance, and resilience."" — Anthony Fauci, M.D., #1 New York Times bestselling author and former Director of the NIAID Faith Over Fear isn’t just Michael Leach’s story; it’s yours too. Each decision leads to victory or regret. What will you choose? Michael Leach—the first-ever Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer of the White House, former League Office official at NFL headquarters, and former Assistant to Head Coach for the Chicago Bears—unpacks the defining choice of our time: to shrink in fear or rise in faith. Faith Over Fear is more than one man’s story. It’s a wake-up call, a roadmap, and a rally cry for a generation seeking clarity, courage, and conviction in a world full of uncertainty. With sharp insight and spiritual depth, Leach illuminates the gap between what we aspire to and what we often settle for—as individuals, institutions, and a nation. He sheds light on the hidden dynamics of power, purpose, and privilege, and reimagines leadership as an act rooted not in ego, but in empathy and integrity. With honesty, humility, and hard-won wisdom, Leach guides readers to: Choose unity over division—and lead with vision that bridges, not breaks. Recognize the difference between potential and patterns—and choose aligned, sustainable growth. Move from personal preference to higher purpose in leadership, love, and life. Stop holding on to what’s behind you—and make space for what’s ahead. Choose faith not just as belief, but as bold, consistent action in uncertain times. Whether you're navigating life’s uncertainties or leading others through them, this book will meet you where you are—equipping you with the clarity, strength, and hope to move forward—more resilient than ever before, and ready for whatever comes next. Our country was founded on ideals that promised freedom and opportunity for all, but the reality has often been far more complicated. Leach's story demonstrates by ""taking a knee"" before God in moments of uncertainty, we can shift life's challenges into opportunities for meaningful progress and collective healing. This book aspires to be a generationally transformative narrative, urging readers to critically examine and bridge the gap between the ideals we hold dear and the realities we live.
