We all stumble sometimes — but what if those moments weren’t failures at all, but chances to rise stronger?


Welcome to The Rise Experience Podcast, where faith meets leadership and growth begins from within. I’m Shannon Denniston, and my mission is to help growth-minded leaders rise with integrity, courage, and heart — creating real impact that starts on the inside.



Episode Highlights

In this episode, I talk about the importance of resilience over perfection. I share how small stumbles can become stepping stones when we shift from shame to strategy. You’ll also learn the “Rise Again Rhythm” — a five-minute reset process designed to help you recover quickly, stay consistent, and build a culture of honest problem-solving.



Main Takeaways

  • Consistency isn’t about perfection — it’s about showing up 24 days out of 30 and not quitting when things go wrong.
  • Stumbles aren’t disqualifying; they’re valuable feedback for growth.
  • “Bounce back time” matters — shortening it helps build true resilience.
  • The difference between conviction and condemnation: God shepherds, not shames.
  • The “Rise Again Rhythm” — breathe, name it, normalize it, and take the next faithful step.
  • Modeling grace and resilience helps others rise again too.
  • Progress is found in persistence, not perfection.
