Where Is Your Faith?

That’s the question that changed everything.

It was asked by a wife to her husband — a pastor, a principal, a man who had spent his whole career telling other people not to be afraid. He was sitting on the edge of the bed at forty years old, shaking, after a doctor’s appointment that had gone sideways. He had built a house, built a career, built a ministry. And in one afternoon, all of it felt like it could disappear.

That single question — Where is your faith? — is the seed this entire book grew from. Twenty-six years later, it’s still the question Pastor Vincent Rhodes asks every reader who picks up this book.

Fear doesn’t care how long you’ve been a Christian.

It shows up everywhere. In the doctor’s office. In the counselor’s office, where a teenager was once told flatly, “You’re not college material.” You’ll read about:

• A health scare that exposed the difference between preached faith and lived faith

• A counselor’s dismissive verdict — and the mother who refused to accept it as final

• A ministry on the brink of losing everything to the IRS — and the two strangers who, on the same day, offered to give exactly what was needed

• A childhood lesson in boldness, learned from a brother who believed fear was meant to be confronted, not avoided

• The simple, terrifying act of asking — for a favor, for help, for what you need — and what happens when you finally do

Every chapter ends in the same place: closer to God, not further from your fear.

Each one includes a Scripture passage chosen specifically for that story, an honest reflection written in Pastor Rhodes’s own voice, guided questions for personal journaling or small group discussion, and a closing prayer to carry the truth of that chapter into your own life.
