May 2025 - Faith Over Fear: Learning to Trust God through Your Transition to College by Meghan Mazzola Schmitz is now available, offering young women—and anyone facing new transitions—an encouraging and faith-centered guide to embracing change with confidence and gratitude.
When Meghan Mazzola Schmitz began her college journey at The University of St. Thomas, she had every reason to be excited. A successful high school student and athlete, she quickly found friends, opportunities, and a vibrant campus community. Yet despite these blessings, she struggled with deep homesickness. It wasn't until she strengthened her relationship with God through prayer that she truly found peace and joy during this new season of life.
In Faith Over Fear, Meghan shares personal experiences, meaningful Bible verses, and practical action plans to help readers confront homesickness, anxiety, and the uncertainties of college life. Originally written during her senior year of college amid the upheaval of the 2020 pandemic, Meghan’s devotional speaks directly to the heart of anyone navigating change, offering hope, wisdom, and a reminder that no one is alone.
“I wrote this book because I wanted to help other young women overcome the same struggles I faced,” Meghan says. “If my story leads even one person closer to God or helps them work through their homesickness, it was absolutely worth writing.”
Faith Over Fear is an ideal gift for high school graduates, college freshmen, and anyone preparing for a major life transition. With an uplifting blend of scripture, storytelling, and real-world advice, it shows readers that with faith, prayer, and community, even the most overwhelming changes can be opportunities for growth and gratitude.
Whether you're a high school junior starting to think about college, a freshman feeling the ache of homesickness, or a parent looking for a meaningful graduation gift, Faith Over Fear is a source of comfort, encouragement, and strength.
