Ever notice how insecurity sneaks in when life feels uncertain, whether at work, home, or in faith? That’s often the moment it tries to define our worth.
Welcome to The Rise Experience Podcast, where faith and leadership meet growth from within. I’m Shannon Denniston, and I walk alongside growth-minded leaders who want to rise with integrity, courage, and compassion. Each episode is a space to grow spiritually, emotionally, and mentally because lasting impact begins by leading ourselves well.
Episode Highlights
In this episode, I focus on leading from identity rather than insecurity, recognizing that real confidence isn’t built on performance or approval. It explores how faith provides a steady foundation for worth, supported by both scripture and psychology. The conversation also covers how self-concept clarity shapes stronger, more peaceful leadership and offers practical ways to stay anchored in truth through daily habits and supportive community.
Episode Outline
- Insecurity grows when worth is tied to performance or approval.
- True confidence starts with self-concept clarity, knowing who you are, not just what you do.
- Faith anchors identity in grace, not achievement.
- Leaders who operate from secure identity make clearer decisions and build greater trust.
- Daily identity-anchoring habits, like prayer, gratitude, or meditation, reinforce stability and peace.
- Surrounding yourself with people who remind you of your true worth strengthens your leadership.
