Meet Theresa.
Born and raised in Georgia, Theresa Roth is not only an author but is a mentor and artist with a passion for sharing the transformative journey that God has led her through. Her mission is to comfort and encourage others to embark on their own path to hope and healing.

With a business career spanning thirty-five years in the marketplace, Theresa held diverse management positions in consulting, marketing and communications, event planning, and finance. For twenty years, Theresa partnered with her husband, David, founder and former CEO of Workmatters, a nonprofit faith-and-work organization, serving in various roles.
Theresa and David reside in the heart of the beautiful Ozark Mountains in Fayetteville, Arkansas. They enjoy hiking, biking, canoeing, and spending time at the beach, the mountains, and in between. They are blessed with two wonderful adult sons, Dylan, his wife Bethany, and Tyler.
Theresa’s Impact.
As she tells in Facing Your Fears, Theresa made a return trip to Camp Lejeune, NC, and Washington, DC, to commemorate the thirty-fifth anniversary of the Beirut bombing that claimed the lives of her first husband and 240 other servicemen.
During those ceremonies, she was introduced to a motto, “The First Duty is to Remember.” That motto was the catalyst for her to remember and honor those killed in this event and also to tell all that God has done for her in her own journey of healing.
In response to her calling to remember and tell, Theresa didn’t just write a book. She also established the 1st Lt. John Boyett Memorial Leadership Scholarship Fund to honor the values of John Boyett.
This is a merit-based scholarship for the Workmatters Institute and goes to deserving individuals who desire in-depth leadership and career development from a faith-based perspective. For more information, visit www.workmatters.org.
