When Faith Meets Fear Freedom Begins
We all experience seasons of fear, disappointment, and struggle—from everyday frustrations to deeper losses that shape our lives. These experiences can stir up emotions like sorrow, anger, bitterness, grief, and regret. It may feel easier to push pain aside, but unprocessed hurt doesn’t disappear. It lingers, affecting us physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
In Facing Your Fears, author Theresa Roth shares her journey from unresolved pain to emotional and spiritual restoration. After losing her first husband in a terrorist attack in Beirut that claimed 241 servicemen, Theresa spent decades “stuffing” her emotions—avoiding them until she discovered that true healing begins when we face our fears with faith and courage.
Through vulnerable storytelling and biblically grounded insights, Theresa offers practical steps to help you embrace fear, process pain, and find freedom.
Key Insights Include
Believing and trusting God completely.

And so much more!
If you long to grow in your faith, heal from what holds you back, and move forward with hope, Facing Your Fears will encourage you to face life's challenges with confidence in God and discover the freedom found on the other side of fear.

This Facing Your Fears book study fosters genuine growth and connection.
“Being part of Theresa’s Facing Your Fears small group was a meaningful experience. I read the book the year before and gained so much from it, but participating in the group brought the message to life in a deeper way. Theresa’s honesty and vulnerability created a safe space for each of us to share openly about our own fears.
The discussion questions led to thoughtful, heartfelt conversations and helped me reflect on my own experiences in a deeper way. One of my biggest takeaways was her explanation of the difference between expectations and desires—a true “aha” moment for me. This study not only deepened my understanding of the book but also fostered genuine growth and connection.”
