NRT Music announces the release of "This Is Who I Am," the sixth single from Scott Riggan's forthcoming full-length album, Shepherds and Wolves, arriving Fall 2026. Rooted in Christian Contemporary and singer-songwriter traditions, the track continues unveiling the cinematic and spiritually resonant themes that define the upcoming project.
Written by Scott C. Riggan and Benjamin D. Bauman, and produced by Jason Collum and Scott Riggan, "This Is Who I Am" delivers an unflinching meditation on identity, vulnerability, and grace.
The track takes an honest look at what it truly means to be fully seen and fully loved. While culture often suggests that love is blind--ignoring flaws or overlooking failures--this song confronts a deeper truth: God's love is not blind. He sees every weakness, every hidden struggle, every fault--and loves us anyway. That's what makes His love astonishing.
Through vivid lyrical imagery, Riggan reflects on the masks we wear to avoid rejection--the masks of respectability, righteousness, humor, accomplishment, competence, martyr, victim, bully, or people-pleaser. We protect our image, fearing that if we are fully known, we won't be fully accepted. Yet the song declares the opposite: healing begins not in hiding, but in surrender. Standing before God without pretense and saying, "This is who I am," becomes an act of freedom. In that vulnerable moment, listeners are reminded that God's love has never depended on performance--only on grace.
The single continues the intentional rollout of Shepherds and Wolves, a bold new full-length statement from Riggan. Releasing Fall 2026, the album explores themes of spiritual resilience, discernment, and the tension between comfort and calling. With new singles arriving throughout the year, the project invites listeners into a cinematic yet deeply personal journey--meeting them in the wilderness and walking toward hope.
Scott Riggan creates music for the road-weary and soul-hungry--and this season marks his most focused chapter yet. Recently signing with NRT Music, Riggan enters this release cycle with expanded partnership and momentum. His career has spanned four continents, earned a #1 hit on Christian radio, produced multiple Top 20 songs, and received recognition from the Dove Awards and the John Lennon Songwriting Contest. Yet his mission remains unchanged: writing honest songs of faith wrestled through in real life.
While serving as a worship pastor in Idaho, Riggan continues to cultivate a growing community of listeners affectionately known as the Rigganators--fellow spiritual travelers seeking a faith sturdy enough to navigate sorrow, doubt, and resilient hope.
With "This Is Who I Am," Scott Riggan offers more than a song. He offers an invitation--to step out from behind the mask, to stand fully known, and to discover a love that has never once looked away.
