My Story — Why I Started The Rise Code

from Built. Not Felt. · host Shannon Ferro

Episode 50: My Story — Why I Started The Rise CodeThis is a milestone episode. And I'm not marking it with a concept or a framework. I'm marking it with the truth about where I came from.For the longest time, I prayed every night. I showed up. I believed. And nothing changed. Not because God wasn't listening. But because I was missing half the equation.Then I found James 2:17: "Faith without works is dead."That verse broke something open in me. I wasn't lacking faith. I was lacking action. And the moment those two things came together, everything started to move.In this episode, I share my full story — the years of staying stuck, the person God placed in my life last August who changed the way I see myself, the decision to start posting on YouTube when I was soft-spoken and couldn't hold a conversation, and why I finally stopped waiting for the right conditions and started the podcast anyway.I talk about leaving a company I spent five years building — and why that had to fall apart before I could see my real purpose. I talk about mustard seed faith. About what Napoleon Hill and Neville Goddard have in common with the Bible. About the moment I understood that what you believe, you become.This episode is personal. It's vulnerable. And it's for the man who is praying, hoping, waiting — but not yet moving.If that's you, this one's for you.What we cover:— Why prayer without action kept me stuck for years— The person who helped me find God, love myself, and set standards— How daily YouTube posting turned a shy, soft-spoken man into someone who could speak freely— Why I kept delaying the podcast — and what made me start anyway— The books shaping my mind right now— Where I am today and what I'm buildingJames 2:17. Proverbs 23:7. Matthew 17:20. 2 Timothy 1:7. Romans 8:18. Philippians 4:13.Faith without works is dead. And I'm doing the work.Built.
