Step Into Fear: A Journey from Addiction to Courage and Purpose
Autor Ben Bergquam Cuvânt înainte de Stephen K. Bannonen Limba Engleză Hardback – 22 oct 2026
Ben Bergquam should have lost everything.
Addicted to crack cocaine, trapped in lies, and slowly destroying his marriage, he was living a double life that seemed destined to end in disaster. By day he was a husband, father, and businessman. By night he became "Nick"—a man consumed by addiction, secrecy, and self-destruction. Then everything collapsed. Forced to confront the truth about who he had become, Ben began a painful journey of recovery, faith, and transformation that would ultimately lead him far beyond anything he could have imagined.
Today, he reports from some of the most dangerous places on earth. From cartel-controlled territory in the Darién Gap to riots in American cities, from the U.S.-Mexico border to political flashpoints around the world, he has repeatedly stepped into situations most people spend their lives trying to avoid.
In Step into Fear, Bergquam shares the remarkable story behind the headlines and recounts his battle with addiction, the restoration of his marriage, the lessons learned through failure, and the faith that gave him the courage to pursue a calling bigger than himself. Part redemption story, part spiritual memoir, and part frontline adventure, Step Into Fear is a powerful reminder that courage is not the absence of fear—it is the willingness to move forward despite it. No matter what stands in front of you, the first step toward freedom is stepping into fear.

Recenzii
Praise for Step Into Fear
No one covers the issues quite like Ben Bergquam. A great book for everyone, especially young men in our day."—Jack Posobiec, New York Times bestselling author of Unhumans
“I’ve known and worked with Ben for many years, starting on the southern border during the border crisis under Joe Biden, but I never knew his backstory. Reading this book and knowing Ben the way I know him now, it’s almost hard to believe. This book is a powerful story of God’s redemption and a reminder for all of us that it’s not too late. Beyond being a great reporter and truth teller, the quality I love most in Ben is his devotion to his wife, Villy and daughters Chloe, Olivia and Lillian. I am blessed to call him a friend. You need to read this book. It will give you hope for yourself if you’re struggling and hope for America.”—Kari Lake, American patriot
“I knew he was a good guy when my wife liked him even more than I did. Ben Bergquam has become not just a colleague but a friend to Cindy and me. He is the most tenacious on the ground reporter in America and even more than that, a damn good Patriot. The work he has done on the border and around the world to report on illegal immigration is second to none, but it pales in comparison to his love for America. I like to say that I am the best predictor of what the left will do before they do it; don’t tell anyone, but I sometimes use Ben’s reporting as inspiration. This book is more than just a biography of Ben’s journey from addiction to purpose, it is a how to guide for young patriots, wanting to make a difference for our country and God’s kingdom. I can’t recommend it any more highly. It’s got mine and Cindy’s stamp of approval.”—Wayne Allyn Root, bestselling author and host of America's Top Ten Countdown and America Speaks on Real America’s Voice TV
“Ben Bergquam’s testimony is a powerful reminder that courage is not the absence of fear, it’s the willingness to move forward in spite of it. From the depths of addiction and a double life to some of the most dangerous places on earth, this incredible journey reveals God’s hand at work, every step of the way. Ben is a warrior that I’m proud to call my friend.” —Chad Prather, host of Before the Noise
“You’ll be captivated, surprised and encouraged by what you’re about to read. Ben’s book is more than a story, it’s a collection of chapters that will incite hope, courage, and a desire to trust God for more in your own life. This book is a journey. Get ready…”—David J. Harris Jr., author and speaker
“I first noticed Ben Bergquam a few years ago while he was reporting from the US/Mexico border. Here was a fearless reporter staring down the cartel and reporting what was really going on. Soon, he was also reporting for FlashPoint when he could. I began to see a side of Ben I had not seen before. Here was a Christian and a family man. I had no idea the struggles life had thrown Ben’s way or the challenges he faced. What emerged was not only a great reporter who is fearless in his pursuit of the truth, but also a man on a mission to be the best man/husband/father he can be. While the world tells you to avoid fear, Ben runs toward it. This book has a lot of meat. It’s his story, but it’s also a call to the reader to step out of the status quo and run to the roar. Well done, Ben.”—Gene Bailey, FlashPoint Television Network
“Ben writes, ‘The fear of the unknown can be paralyzing, especially when you’re heading into a protest or event knowing it could turn ugly. But gratitude keeps me grounded. I thank God for the fear, because it means I’m stepping into my calling.’ Who talks like that? Better yet — who thinks like that? I’ll tell you who: men like Paul, who endured countless beatings for the sake of truth. Reflecting on one of his missionary journeys, he wrote to his friends in Corinth, ‘We were troubled on every side; without were fightings, within were fears’ (1 Cor. 7:5). This is the tribe Ben Bergquam comes from. That same courage, conviction, and willingness to walk straight into discomfort for something greater pulses through every page of this book. I’m honored to call him my friend.”—Dr. Lance Wallnau, Lance Learning Group, Dallas TX
“Ben is a menace to polite society.” —Raheem Kassam, editor in chief of The National Pulse
“Ben Bergquam sets the bar for intrepid, courageous and honest reporting. His accounts of the public policy travesties he covers, their huge costs in lives and national treasure and what he does to expose them are as chilling as his journalism is impactful.” —Frank Gaffney, former Reagan Assisitant Secretary of Defense (acting) and president of the Institute for the American Future
“Many people know the story of the American border crisis because of Ben Bergquam and his intrepid reporting. But very few know the story of his heroic arc from addiction to redemption. Ben Bergquam is a warrior and it’s evident that the very same boldness and conviction that pulled him out of darkness is what he draws on daily. This book gives the reader a raw and candid view of the challenges Bergquam has faced, and the courage required to face new challenges as he navigates his reporting in a world where fiction and narrative often scream louder than the truth. Kudos to Bergquam for this page-turner of wisdom, adventure, trial and redemptive joy.” —Amanda Head, White House correspondent and prime time anchor
“For someone who has been in some of the most dangerous and frightening situations imaginable, Ben Bergquam now manages to go through life with a smile. It is his secret weapon. It’s also a tribute to his faith and his positive attitude. Before you read his book you need to understand Ben Bergquam is a happy warrior. His success comes from his positivity and his unique ability to not just deal with fear and adversity, but thrive from it. Excel from it. Grow from it. This firsthand account on dealing with fear is a playbook for anyone willing to take chances on something they believe in. Fear is natural. It’s healthy. But fear will either debilitate you or strengthen you. It’s your choice. Ben’s openness about his past mistakes serves more like an awakening then, than a confession. For anyone who has ever felt paralyzed be fear, you need to read this book. For those that struggle to determine the difference between fear and intuition, you need to read this book. Step into Fear has already helped me. I’m excited for what it will do for you!” —Grant Stinchfield, RAV and conservative commentator
“Step Into Fear reads like a Mission Impossible movie infused with Christ-like faith! It's a gripping story that is action-packed, bold, fearless and most importantly seen through the lens of God's grace and redemption. Ben's story will both inspire and challenge you at the same time. You won't be the same after reading it. His amazing life story sticks with you and that's the point: it's raw truth that will satisfy the soul!" —David Brody, anchor, Real America's Voice
“Ben is a courageous man indeed but more than that he is a brilliant mind that has an uncanny ability to create an alloy of spiritual sonship and influencing actions into one. The transparency demonstrated in this book coupled with his commitment to partner with the Lord and always point to God is rare in the age of personal glory seeking. He is stirred by the Spirit of God to stir others and does this well with his life of surrender to a calling that has surprises still yet to come for society and the Kingdom of God.” —Joshua Brewer, founding director of StandWithIsraelinc.org
