Steve Lundquist spent 14 years as a Gang Intelligence Sergeant inside Suffolk County's jail on Long Island, New York — tracking some of the most dangerous gang members in the country. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, Steve breaks down exactly what goes on behind the walls that nobody outside ever sees. From identifying gang leaders the moment they walk through the door to monitoring phone calls that give inmates away, Steve shares the insider knowledge that took him 14 years to accumulate — and the cases involving Bloods, Crips, Latin Kings, MS-13, 18th Street and local neighborhood crews that defined his career. _____________________________________________ #GangIntelligence #TrueCrime #prisonsecrets _____________________________________________ Thank you to QUINCE for sponsoring this episode: Elevate your summer wardrobe.

From Self-Focused to Service-Driven: Chris Lundquist's Faith Journey In this episode, Chris Lundquist shares a powerful and relatable story of faith that didn't happen overnight—but grew through relationships, life changes, and a persistent call from God. Raised in a Christian home, Chris always believed—but admits his early adult years were marked by independence and a focus on self. It wasn't until he became a father that everything began to shift. Faced with the question, “What kind of dad do I want to be?”, Chris started a journey toward intentional faith, mentorship, and a life aligned with purpose. Today, Chris lives out that calling in impactful ways—from coaching track and field with a Christ-centered culture, to leading a thriving after-school program that mentors the next generation. Along the way, he's also learned what it means to trust God in closed doors, unexpected opportunities, and even in saying “yes” to fostering a child when it felt impossible. Through honest reflection and practical insights, Chris reminds us that faithfulness isn't about perfection—it's about willingness. And when we take steps toward God, even imperfect ones, He meets us with purpose, direction, and surprising impact.

(3:00) Dave is an engineer and citizen scientist who has studied cholesterol for years. (5:30) It is a great documentary that addresses high cholesterol in an easy-to-follow manner. It also addresses the benefits of the ketogenic diet and how it may affect people differently. Nick Norwitz is well known for his N=1 experiment in lowering his cholesterol through a dietary regimen. (17:00) Dave explains Nick's experiment and the significance of the results. The experiment is not advocating eating junk food. It was a comparison and a data collection method. They discuss Dave's passion for doing a deep dive into cholesterol to create the documentary. (31:00) It took a while for Dave to convince others that it was a study worth doing. Lundquist and Dr. Matthew Budoff spearheaded the study. The study had 100% completion rate with 100 participants. Dr. Richard Bernstein was a T1 diabetic who decided to monitor his own blood sugar regularly and developed a system to do so. (58:00) But he was dismissed because no doctors believed people would bother to measure their own blood several times a day. But now both the study data and the documentary The Cholesterol Code are available, and people can become better educated.

On this episode, Benjamin is talking to the person who knows God showed you something, but your life looks nothing like it. You've seen the vision. You've felt the calling. But now you're in a season that feels slow, unclear, and maybe even painful. And you're asking, “God, where is it?” In this episode, Benjamin breaks down the three stages of God's calling: how He awakens a vision in your heart, how He develops you through seasons of waiting, stretching, and refining, and how He ultimately brings you into the assignment He showed you years earlier. He walks through powerful biblical case studies—Joseph, Moses, David, even Jesus - and reveals the pattern God uses over and over again. You'll receive real, practical direction on what to do in that middle season when nothing seems to be happening, when you feel overlooked, and when you're tempted to quit. Because the truth is, you're not stuck, you're being built. You are not buried, you're planted. This episode is all about understanding the process of calling so you can stay rooted, stay faithful, and stay fruitful even when the vision hasn't come to fruition yet.Episode Quote: "That tension you feel, that gap between what you saw and what you're living, that's not failure, that's formation. You are not buried, you are planted. And planted things don't grow overnight. They grow in hidden places, in dark places, in quiet places, but growth is still happening."This episode, like all Rise and Lead Podcast episodes, is highly practical and motivating.

In this episode - Benjamin confront one of the most dangerous lies people live with: God can do incredible things…just not for someone like me. And for others, the belief sounds like this: Other people grow, lead, and succeed - but I'm the exception - I'm just going to settle, because what's possible for other people is not possible for me. He's going after both. This episode is about learning how to believe again or believe for the first time.Believe in what God can do. Believe in who you're becoming. Believe that there is no invisible line separating you from the people who write the book, launch the podcast, build the platform, step into purpose, and show up for the relationships that matter most. Through powerful biblical case studies (Gideon, Peter, the woman with the issue of blood), practical psychology, and straight-up truth, you'll discover why self-disqualification is costing people their calling and how to break free from the mindset of “not me.” If you've ever felt overlooked, underestimated, delayed, or unsure whether you're allowed to step into more, this episode is for you. Because there is no difference between you and them - except belief, consistency, and the courage to take the next step. So let me ask you the question that might change everything: Why not you?Episode Quote: "God rarely gives you confidence before obedience. Confidence is the reward of movement. It's competence, from repeated action, that builds confidence. You become confident because you do it again and again. Each time you step forward your faith grows because you see God show up."This episode, like all Rise and Lead Podcast episodes, is highly practical and motivating.

On this episode, Why Not You: It's Time to Believe Again, Benjamin talks about how people often believe healing, breakthrough, purpose, and miracles are possible for other people - but quietly disqualify themselves. Somewhere along the way, they didn't stop believing in God's power, they stopped believing they were included in the promise. But Scripture makes this clear: God doesn't reserve His best for the perfect, the polished, or the most qualified - He releases it through the willing, the obedient, and the available. Your past doesn't cancel your calling. Your mistakes don't override God's grace. If God did it before, He can do it again and there is no reason it can't be for you. You've spent a lot of your life, believing for other people, and now is the time that you start believing that God's promises are actually for you. Why not you? This episode this teaching has the potential to shift everything.Episode Quote: "Somebody has to be the story people point to and say, “Only God could have done that." Somebody has to be the evidence that prayer still works, obedience still matters, and surrender still unlocks what striving never could. Somebody has to be the reminder that God is still in the business of rewriting stories. Why not you?"This episode, like all Rise and Lead Podcast episodes, is highly practical and motivating.

In this episode of Fluid Power Forum, host Eric Lanke interviews David Lundquist, Global Product Manager at Hydraulic Technologies, about high-pressure, heavy-load hydraulic systems and the push toward electrification and cordless jobsite performance. The conversation focuses on synchronous motion to reduce stress on heavy structures and improve safety. Lundquist compares the long-established MCS synchronous system with the newer eSync system, a modular, two-person-carry platform that can connect to many existing pumps and cylinders and is available in cordless configurations that eliminate generators for remote, low-fume, or noise-sensitive environments. Field examples include bridge bearing replacement lifts and lateral push/pull applications like skidding tunnel boring machines and precision compression work in data centers. Lundquist also shares major projects, including lifting the Palace Theater in Times, and highly precise rotor maintenance work at the Niagara Falls hydropower plant.

On this episode, Every Room Is An Assignment and Every Moment Is On Mission, Benjamin shares what it truly means to walk with spiritual awareness, purpose, and courage in everyday life. This isn't just about leadership, it's about living sent. From boardrooms to classrooms, hospital hallways to living rooms, God places us in spaces on purpose. He teaches from real-life stories, Biblical truth, and practical insight to help you recognize your divine assignments, steward your presence, and shift rooms through faith, obedience, and identity in Christ. He will challenge you to stop underestimating ordinary moments and start seeing them as sacred opportunities. When you know who you are and whose you are, you don't just enter rooms - you bring hope, clarity, and light with you. This episode is a reminder that your availability matters more than your perfection, your obedience carries eternal weight, and God is always working through willing hearts. If you've been feeling discouraged, overlooked, or unsure of your impact, my prayer is that this message re-anchors you in truth and reignites your sense of calling. You are not here by accident.Your presence is intentional.Your assignment is active right now. Stay aligned. Stay faithful. And remember - every room is an assignment, and every moment is on mission.Episode Quote: "God put breath in your lungs today. You're still here. That means your assignment is still active. Stop waiting for perfect conditions. Stop outsourcing responsibility. Stop minimizing your influence. Every room is an assignment. Your family is an assignment.Your workplace is an assignment. our community is an assignment.Your healing is an assignment.Your growth is an assignment."

On the phone-in: Start the new year off right with advice from physiotherapist, Laura Lundquist from Zoomers Physiotherapy. She answers questions about exercise programs and injury prevention. And off the top of the show, we hear comments from the rate hearings for Nova Scotia Power. We also hear about a fire at the power generating plant in Summerside, PEI.
Lauren Rhoades talks with author Kelly Foster Lundquist about her striking debut memoir titled Beard: A Memoir of a Marriage. In the book, Kelly revisits her relationship with her first husband twenty years after their divorce as she investigates the "beard" trope in literature, culture, and her own romantic life.

On this episode, Give Me 20 Minutes and You'll Realize You're Not Late, You're Not Behind, and You Haven't Missed It, Benjamin speaks directly to the quiet and constant pressure that you should be further along by now. In a world obsessed with speed, comparison, and highlight reels, it's easy to believe the lie that you're falling behind or that you missed your moment. In this teaching, he dismantles the comparison trap, unpacks why feeling “late” is so common, and re-frames struggle as a sign of growth, not failure. You'll discover how God develops character, skills, and resilience long before He reveals outcomes. This will help you let go of hurry, stop comparing your life to lives you don't even know, and trust that God has you exactly where you need to be. Your assignment is sacred. This moment is holy. And your story is still unfolding. Really lean into this episode, it'll change your life and transform your future. Episode Quote: "One of the most freeing and necessary decisions you will ever make is detaching your self-worth from society's stopwatch. The world is constantly measuring your value by speed, milestones, productivity, and comparison. But your worth was never meant to be earned by how fast you arrive or how much you produce. When you tie your identity to the clock, you live in perpetual anxiety. Always feeling behind.Always feeling late. Always feeling like you're not enough. But when your worth is anchored in who God says you are and the relationship you have with him in Jesus, time becomes a tool instead of a tyrant."

Welcome to Resiliency Radio with Dr. Jill Carnahan, where today's powerful episode explores what it truly means to reclaim medicine through aligned leadership, personal transformation, and a return to root-cause, patient-centered care. Dr. Jill is joined by the inspiring Lundquist brothers - Dr. Erik Lundquist and Dr. Davin Lundquist—two nationally respected leaders in integrative, functional, and holistic medicine. In this episode, we dive deep into the emotional and professional challenges facing today's healthcare professionals, including burnout, chronic stress, and system-driven limitations that leave both clinicians and patients overwhelmed. Together, the Lundquist brothers break down what real leadership looks like in medicine—revealing the difference between simply managing and truly inspiring transformation in others. You'll learn how personal growth begins with small, courageous steps; how functional and holistic medicine empowers individuals to reclaim their health; and how hope, mindset, and aligned leadership can reshape the future of healthcare. Whether you're a clinician seeking renewed purpose or a patient longing for a more compassionate, whole-person medical approach, this conversation offers deep wisdom, practical insight, and a renewed sense of possibility.
In this episode, Irina welcomes writer and professor Kelly Foster Lundquist who recently published the book "Beard: A Memoir of a Marriage." Raised as a pastor's daughter in Mississippi, little did Kelly know that the man with whom she fell in love as fellow counselors at a Christian camp would deceive her and himself about his sexuality. Their story largely unfolds in Chicago, while Kelly is--of all things--a PhD student in queer studies. Suspicious events begin piling up, including with Kelly finding suspicious pictures of men on her husband Devin's computer. Subjected to conversion "therapy" when younger, Devin becomes both victim and cheater, until the marriage inevitably crumbles. Kelly narrates her tale of survival and ultimately rekindled friendship with Devin, also commenting on what LGBTQ+ populations still face in America today. Come hear a tale that will take you on an emotional rollercoaster replete with love, food, alcohol, and redemption!Kelly Foster Lundquist's websiteKelly's book “Beard: A Memoir of a Marriage”Kelly's faculty profileArticle in The Times about Kelly's story and bookArticle in People that Kelly authored about beardsSOTI ep. 84: Pride Month Special (Part 1)SOTI ep. 85: Pride Month Special (Part 2) Hosted on Acast.

We're living in a time with more noise, more pressure, and more confusion than ever and at the center of it all is an identity crisis most people don't even realize they're in. You'll learn a simple, but powerful framework that will help you move from confusion to confidence. You'll understand how God forms leaders in the quiet places, not the spotlight. And you'll walk away with practical steps and real assignments to anchor your identity, strengthen your character, and step boldly into your calling. Whether you're a college student figuring out your future or a seasoned leader carrying responsibility - this episode will ground you, guide you, and remind you who you really are.Episode Quote: "When your life stays rooted in Jesus, everything changes. You stop living shaken by circumstances and start living anchored by truth. Your strength doesn't come from what's happening around you, it flows from Who is living within you. And when you choose to serve people every single day, you step into the very heartbeat of God. Serving isn't small - it's kingdom impact in motion. It's how you shine light in dark places, heal broken spaces, and carry hope into rooms that desperately need it. Stay rooted. Stay surrendered. Stay available. God will use a life like that to change the world."This episode, like all Rise and Lead Podcast episodes, is highly practical and motivating.

On this episode, Overcoming Anxiety: Letting Go of What You Can't Control, Benjamin talks about what is feels like to battle anxiety - those moments when you're sitting in your car, frozen by fear, feeling unseen, overwhelmed, and unsure how to move forward. He unpacks how to re-frame anxiety, anchor your identity in God, clarify control, and find hope by simply doing the next right thing. You'll learn how to stop obsessing over what you can't control, take responsibility for what you can, and walk by faith even when it's hard. This episode is a reminder that you are not alone, God is with you in the middle of your struggle. And with a perspective shift and few tools things can and will get better. Anxiety is not your identity and not your future. Episode Quote: "Every ounce of energy you pour into things outside your control is energy stolen from what God actually put in your hands - your habits, your faith, your assignment. That's the heart of this teaching - you need to surrender what is out of your control and give your full focus and attention to the assignment in front of you. If you can't do anything about it, why are you wasting time obsessing about it. “Your time is too valuable and your calling too sacred to waste it on what you can't change.” This episode, like all Rise and Lead Podcast episodes, is highly practical and motivating.

In this episode, Bryce sits down with Nate Lundquist to talk about the incredible national movement behind LifeWise Academy — a program that allows public school students to receive Bible education during the school day. Nate shares how a little-known 1952 Supreme Court ruling opened the door for “released time religious instruction,” and how LifeWise has scaled that opportunity to 1,200 schools in 35 states. They discuss the rapid growth of the program, how communities can launch their own LifeWise chapters, and the upcoming nationwide release of the documentary Off School Property — a film Nate helped create to tell this story. If you care about faith, education, and cultural impact, this is a must-listen.

On this episode, No One Is Coming to Save You and That's Not a Bad Thing, Benjamin shares a bold and honest wake-up call for anyone waiting on permission, rescue, or the perfect moment. In this episode. He dives deep into what it means to take radical ownership of your life. You'll learn how to stop waiting and start leading - yourself, your family, your calling. Blending powerful biblical wisdom, raw personal truth, and practical strategies, this episode will challenge you to rise from passivity, break free from excuses, and step into the God-given authority you already carry. It's not about who's coming to save you - it's about who you're becoming.Episode Quote: "That rescue fantasy is killing your progress and crippling your calling. A life of faith has always been a partnership. God doing what only he can do while you do everything you can do with everything he has already given you. Sometimes we're praying for deliverance, but God is waiting for movement. You've been asking for a breakthrough, but heaven is waiting on you to take the next step. For many of you, it's not a lack of clarity—it's a lack of courage. You already know what needs to change. You feel the pull. You've heard the whisper. Now it's time to move."This episode, like all Rise and Lead Podcast episodes, is highly practical and motivating.
