Faith Over Fear
Helping Christian men break free from anxiety and pain to become exceptional leaders in work and life. Since 2010.
Overcome fear, strengthen your faith, and reclaim confidence in your life and relationships.
God didn’t call you to stay stuck in silence. Exhaustion. Frustration.
IN FACT, LOOK AT ALL THE DISCIPLES. THEY EACH WENT THROUGH SOME TERRIBLE HARDSHIPS. BUT THEN THEY TOLD THE WORLD WHAT GOD HAD DONE FOR THEM. THEY EACH DEVELOPED A TESTIMONY TO LEAD AND ENCOURAGE OTHER PEOPLE.
Faith Over Fear is specifically made for Christian Men (age 25-45) who can’t stand being stuck anymore. They are sick of lacking significant meaning, relationships, and results. They deeply desire to be transformed.
A MAN’S INNER STRUGGLE IS REAL:
You believe in God and try to follow Jesus, but still can’t overcome anxiety and fear
Your mind is always running—analyzing, strategizing, anticipating the next challenge.
You are getting by, but the stress takes a toll— exhaustion, tension headaches, lack of sleep, and irritability.
The worst days can even mean the fear of a panic attack, chest pains, feeling shaky, and dizzy.
You struggle not to shut down in high stress. Even worse, sometimes you BLOW UP. Then, wrestle with bouts of shame afterwards.
How do I know?
BECAUSE I’VE BEEN WHERE YOU ARE!
Anxiety & frustration RULED MY LIFE FOR YEARS.
I was often stressed (or angry), even though I hid it well.
I was indecisive or overwhelmed when life got challenging or messy.
And I never quite felt good enough with God, my relationships, or my career.

Testimonials
More than 90% of clients see significant improvements in their desired outcomes from our sessions.
"I was mostly hopeless and lost when I, after mulling over whether to reach out for help for weeks, finally shared my situation on the "Get Started" page on the Rising Calm website. To my surprise and delight, Eric Gilbert responded immediately. I began to feel life moving forward. Rising Calm has helped me to see, which is amazing considering how stubborn about beliefs I've been, strengths in myself to build upon and cultivate skills and a hopeful future.
Eric is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and understanding. Once, I had a situation I felt was unprecedented and stressed excessively over it. However, once I brought it up, he comprehensively guided me through the difficult conversation which I so feared. Fear was squashed and hope was grown. He has provided great, life-changing resources, practicable, applicable advice and has renewed and grown my faith. Every meeting I learned plenty of new things and approaches that I could immediately apply the day of, going forward, and throughout life. Taking the first steps were scary. Could there really be anyone patient enough, equipped enough to help me through these situations? More than I ever could imagine. I highly recommend Rising Calm.”
"Thanks to Rising Calm Center I have greater faith, confidence, and peace. My relationships are stronger. My work performance is faster and better than ever. I see my purpose and future so much clearer now! It's made major improvements in my personal and professional life!”
"My experience with Rising Calm was phenomenal. Eric patiently listened and walked me through my inner turmoil in a non judgements way. I felt completely safe discussing difficult and embarrassing challenges and wounds. His views were sound, objective and centered on Godly principles. He wasn’t scared to challenge my thinking which I loved. Thanks to this wise council and inner healing, I’m experiencing breakthrough. The peace that has come over me recently is tremendous. I highly recommend Eric and rising calm to anyone that’s looking to set sail for a new course in life."
"Eric at Rising Calm is simply one of kindest people I know. In our conversations, Eric was able to offer a different perspective on some of the situations I was dealing with and ultimately lead me to a place of peace and understanding with the people in my life. If you’re looking for someone to talk to or help you through your various problems, look no further than Rising Calm."
"I have been a client of Rising Calm and Eric Gilbert for years. Eric is so easy to talk to and very knowledgeable in helping with advice on a variety of issues you face in your day to day life. I Would highly recommend Rising Calm to everyone thanks Eric!"
"I am a 40-year-old Black man with a strong relationship with Christ. I was married for eight years (separated for three) and have a very healthy co-parenting relationship with my wife and the mother of my oldest kids. As a father of three, I lead a busy but productive life. Every dog has his day, and I hit a dry season in my marriage—losing my identity both in myself and within the relationship. Before meeting with Eric, all of this still held true. I spent three years in marriage counseling before deciding to seek personal therapy. Initially, I avoided therapists of other ethnicities, believing they couldn’t relate to me or my upbringing. However, working with Eric quickly proved me wrong. Ethnicity doesn’t matter when your therapist is a Man of God, a good listener, patient, understanding, and prays before and after each session to ensure his counsel is Spirit-led rather than heart-led.
I sought Eric’s guidance to help me navigate the difficult decision of divorce—to free myself from the guilt of failing at marriage, the guilt of giving up, and the guilt of deeply hurting my wife. But after listening to my reasons for seeking therapy, Eric asked a different question: What was my relationship with Christ like? Had I kept Him at the forefront of my marriage—then or now? My honest answer was no. At the time, I was drained and, if I’m being real, I didn’t want to hear from God about that topic. Now, as I prepare for my sixth session with Eric, I can confidently say things are going well. He has been strategic in helping me unpack my brokenness, childhood trauma, anxiety, and the fear of opening myself up to love—without barriers but with reasonable boundaries. I hope my experience encourages someone to give Eric a chance. He has great energy, comes to every session prepared, takes detailed notes, and uses past sessions to highlight progress and behavioral patterns. Each session ends with me feeling hopeful, heard, understood, and equipped with personalized assignments. Blessings to you and your family, E!"
"Eric is a phenomenal counselor. I’ve been working with him for several years now and he’s helped me work through a lot of life changes. He’s helped me build my confidence, grow my relationships, and advance in my career. I would recommend him to anybody looking for counseling."
"I was able to get connected right away with Eric at Rising Calm. His listening ear and guidance have been a tremendous blessing in my life so far. Eric has provided me with tools that help me navigate through various types of life and family situations. He has also helped me start to develop a more positive perspective on life and relationships. I am so happy to have found the Rising Calm Center."
"Eric has been a true Godsend. He is thorough, professional, and provides excellent advice, counsel, and coaching. Even when I feel like I have nothing to discuss, he is proactive and always encourages me to dig deeper. I truly appreciate the resources, worksheets, and homework assignments he provides, as they help me continue my growth outside of our sessions.
His guidance has been both life-changing and a tremendous blessing. I am incredibly grateful to have found him when I did. Not only does he coach me, but he also prays with and for me, which means so much. That level of care and support goes a long way! "
"I’ve never really had a good experience with therapy and didn’t have a good outlook on it going into my sessions with Mr. Eric, but after a few sessions I started to see major progress not only within myself but others around me. Our sessions helped me establish better communication skills and effective coping mechanisms to help improve my life. Highly recommend working with him and will be having more sessions in the future."
