How God Builds Resilience Through Challenges and Setbacks.

Good overcomes when courage, passion, patience, and perseverance work together.

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 the message of Good Overcomes — a reminder that resilience is less about perfection and more about persistence. I break it down into four key ingredients that have shaped my own perspective: courage, passion, patience, and perseverance. I’ll walk through how each one can strengthen faith, guide leadership, and help us keep moving forward even when life feels heavy.

Main Takeaways

• Resilience isn’t about pretending struggles don’t exist—it’s about holding on long enough to rise above them.
• Courage means moving forward despite fear, not waiting for it to disappear.
• Passion connects you to a bigger purpose that fuels endurance.
• Patience is waiting without giving up, knowing real growth takes time.
• Perseverance is staying the course even when results aren’t immediate.
