Fear whispers, “Wait until you’re ready.” But what if the bold step God is calling you to take can’t wait for perfect timing?


Welcome to the Rise Experience Podcast, where faith, leadership, personal growth, and purpose align for lasting impact. I’m Shannon Denniston, and this show is for growth-minded leaders who want to rise into their God-given calling while leading with authenticity and heart.


Episode Highlights

In this episode, I share why boldness in faith and leadership isn’t about recklessness, it’s about obedience and grounded purpose. I talk about second-guessing, fear, and comfort zones, and how taking bold action, even before we feel ready, keeps us aligned with God’s calling.

Main Takeaways

  • Boldness isn’t about recklessness, it’s about obedience and trust in God’s guidance.
  • Fear often shows up as second-guessing, keeping us from the bold steps we’re called to take.
  • Comfort zones feel safe but can easily turn into paralysis if we stay there too long.
  • Small, obedient actions of faith can be just as bold as big leaps.
  • Three steps to take bold action without regret: pray first, decide to act before feeling ready, and anchor in truth rather than emotion.


Call To Action

What’s one bold move God’s been nudging you to make? Pray over it, trust His guidance, and take the step even if it feels uncomfortable.
