Survival
Learning to keep moving when standing still was not an option, while beginning to recognize the role faith played in carrying the weight.
A MEMOIR BY SHANE RODDY
From Survival to Purpose.
From Spite to Legacy.
A deeply personal story about transformation, fatherhood, boundaries, faith, responsibility, and building a life that lifts others.
WHY THIS BOOK EXISTS
For years, pain was fuel. It created motion, ambition, and endurance. But motion without direction eventually becomes another way to stay lost.
Rising Tide is the story of learning the difference between being pushed by pain and being guided by purpose. It explores what happens when success stops being about reaction and starts becoming about responsibility.
It is about fatherhood, alignment, faith, healing, boundaries, leadership, and the decision to build a life steady enough that the people closest to you can rise with you.
✦ “There is a difference between being pushed by pain and being guided by purpose.”
THE JOURNEY AND ITS CURRENTS
The story moves from survival and pain toward purpose, responsibility, fatherhood, and legacy. Each stage is shaped by the deeper currents of faith, boundaries, and alignment.
Learning to keep moving when standing still was not an option, while beginning to recognize the role faith played in carrying the weight.
Understanding that pain can create motion, but cannot choose the destination or sustain the fire forever.
Replacing reaction with direction, ambition with alignment, and the need for approval with a clearer sense of calling.
Choosing integrity, learning boundaries, and accepting that growth becomes meaningful when it reaches beyond the self.
Becoming the stable, present example that changes what the next generation believes is possible.
Building more than personal success. Building a life steady enough to lift the people closest to you.
