FAITH OVER FEAR is a timely and timeless debut by Michael Leach, the first-ever White House Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer and former NFL leader. Blending personal storytelling, historic inflection points, and universal themes—this book helps readers navigate uncertainty with clarity, purpose and resilience.
FAITH and fear both ask you to believe in something that hasn't happened yet.
Faith Over Fear is a profound and timely guide by Michael Leach, offering a transformative perspective on navigating the complexities of life, leadership challenges, and periods of deep uncertainty. It delves into the fundamental choice we all face: to be driven by fear or by an unwavering belief in what's possible, even before it materializes.
Michael Leach is a distinguished leader whose career spans the NFL, national politics, and the White House.
He began his professional journey in the National Football League, serving as Assistant to the Head Coach for the Chicago Bears before later managing Labor Relations at NFL Headquarters. In 2020, he served as Chief People Officer for the Biden-Harris presidential campaign, helping lead and build the most diverse general election campaign staff in US history—before ultimately making history in 2021 as the first-ever Chief Diversity and Inclusion Officer and as a special assistant to the president for the White House.
Today, Michael is the Founder and CEO of BridgeTrust Partners, a consulting firm specializing in tailored advisory services, partnership cultivation, leadership development, public speaking, event hosting, and grant management services. His team is dedicated to fostering powerful collaborations that drive innovation, elevate purpose, and spark cultural transformation across industries. Now, entering the literary and entertainment worlds, Michael is committed to inspiring, equipping, and empowering people through story-rich content, live experiences, and transformational conversations that meet the moment—and move the masses.

This book. This moment. This community.
A story for this moment.
Two parts. One purpose: To help you walk through uncertainty with clarity, courage, and faith that holds—longer than fear ever could.
Part I: Choices That Make Us
From the South Side of Chicago to the White House, Michael Leach traces the real moments, hard decisions, and quiet battles that shaped his life—and mirror the tension so many of us face today.
This section is a mirror. Through deeply personal storytelling, Michael unpacks the defining choice we all confront: to shrink in fear or rise in faith. As institutions shift, identities are tested, and hope is on the line, Part I offers readers something rare—clarity, courage, and the reminder that our hardest chapters often reveal our highest calling.
Part II: Choices That Change Us
Part II is where the shift happens. It turns the story into strategy—offering transformative tools, spiritual insight, and practical exercises to help readers move forward with clarity, resilience, and conviction.
If Part I shows what's possible, Part II equips you to live it. These chapters are built to meet you in your current moment and help you build what's next. Whether the uncertainty is personal or global, this section is designed to guide you—not just to survive change, but to lead through it.
