The 3 Stages of God’s Calling: Why the Wait Is Not Wasted with Benjamin Lundquist - RAL 100
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."

Why Not You? Believe Again - In God, in Yourself, and in What’s Possible with Benjamin Lundquist - RAL 99
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."

Give Me 20 Minutes and You'll Realize You're Not Late, You're Not Behind, and You Haven't Missed It with Benjamin Lundquist - RAL 97
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."

Overcoming Insecurity to Reach Your Fullest Potential with Benjamin Lundquist - RAL 90
On this episode, Overcoming Insecurity to Reach Your Fullest Potential, Benjamin wants to help you push past your insecurities so you can lead powerfully, make a greater impact, and fulfill the call God has placed on your life. Insecurity is a silent thief - it robs you of confidence, clouds your judgment, and convinces you that you're not enough, even when God says you are. It causes you to second-guess your gifts, shrink in rooms you were called to lead, and hesitate when you should be taking bold, faith-filled action. When you're focused on what you're not, you miss out on what you are: chosen, equipped, and destined for impact. Insecurity keeps you surviving, not thriving—but you were made for more. That is what this episode is all about. Episode Quote: "Insecurity keeps your gifts locked inside, buried beneath fear, doubt, and comparison. When you question your worth, you withhold what the world desperately needs - your voice, your wisdom, your impact. You can’t release your value when you don’t believe you have any. You will sit at tables and not speak up. You will stand at the threshold of opportunities and not move forward. You will dream of what the future could be like and not take action. The antidote for insecurity is identity and action." This episode, like all Rise and Lead Podcast episodes, is highly practical and motivating.
