The Finest Thought Leaders
is a devoted husband, proud father of two daughters, and a grateful grandfather and great-grandfather. An entrepreneur, community leader, and mentor, Doug has lived the exhilaration of success and the heartbreak of setbacks—and has seen how both can become tools in God’s hands. He was the co-founder and now retired leader of Fearing’s Audio Video Security, a company recognized for excellence in its field, and has served as State President of the Wisconsin Jaycees (Junior Chamber International).
Beyond business, Doug has invested deeply in people and communities. He has served on the boards of multiple nonprofit organizations, including one he helped found, and has mentored youth through programs like Big Brothers Big Sisters and Kinship Mentoring. As a church leader and speaker, he has encouraged others to walk in faith and discover God’s greater purpose.
Doug’s life was forever changed in 2005 when he experienced a divine wake-up call that redirected his pursuit of the American Dream toward the Kingdom Dream. His journey—marked by brokenness, redemption, and transformation—inspires his message that true joy and lasting impact are found only in trusting God. Today, his passion is to call others to awaken to that same Kingdom Dream and to live lives of eternal significance.
"The Kingdom Dream is a raw and courageous wake-up call. Doug Fearing and wife, Lois, openly share their journey through trials, regrets, and victory. The real victory didn’t come until a divine wakeup call in 2005, which shattered Doug’s illusions about his American Dream. That wake-up call birthed a Kingdom vision.
The Kingdom Dream is a powerful testimony of transformation that challenges readers to live with purpose beyond wealth, possessions, or status. Amid personal healing comes a bold call for America’s spiritual awakening. The Kingdom Dream inspires living life with fewer regrets and greater eternal impact.
As a professional athlete, Doug’s book resonated with what I’ve experienced on the gridiron. I couldn’t agree more with the overall message."

"I am grateful to Doug for writing this book. It has the power to change lives! Rarely have I read something with such honesty and personal transparency. Through sharing his life experiences and his journey in pursuing his relationship with Jesus Christ, Doug offers powerful encouragement to readers as they walk in faith and seek their true purpose. I have known Doug since 2013. He is a man of deep purpose, committed to multiplying hope, changing lives, strengthening communities, and building a legacy of empowerment through Jesus Christ.”

"The Kingdom Dream is a book about authenticity and hope. If we’re willing to look at ourselves honestly and bring ourselves to the God who revealed Himself in the Scriptures, there is tremendous promise for every person, family, and even for our nation.
The vulnerability shared by author Doug Fearing makes it easy to read for your heart, and the thorough research makes it easy to read for your mind.
Doug does not speak as a pastor or theologian, which makes his voice clear to ordinary and broken people. He’s not speaking down, but right to where we live.
The Kingdom Dream is not far off; it just means yielding completely to the One who died for us.”
—Tom Flaherty,
Lead Pastor of City Church
"As a Pastor, I have always found the individual’s journey to faith to be inspiring due to the transformative power of God’s love for mankind. Having the courage and audacity to share that journey, both good and bad, is rare and requires authenticity. Thank you, Doug Fearing, for being obedient to your call.
I want to thank the Fearing family for allowing us to sojourn with them through trials and triumphs.
This book will inspire many, as it is truly a time for all to awaken to the glorious dream that is America.”
—Pastor Jim Monroe,
New Covenant Church of Christ
