The Leader’s Cut with Preston Morrison

Is it strict… or is it romantic? Most people hear the word "consecration" and think legalism—a list of rules for pastors and the overly serious. Maybe it’s something else entirely: an invitation. Because the God who is searching the whole earth for a fully devoted heart isn't sitting back on His throne deciding whether to move. He's on the edge of His seat, saying, give me one. In this conversation, Preston sits down with Luke LeFevre, a pastor & revivalist, to talk about the price of the set-apart life, why the Western church stopped teaching it, and what God does when someone finally pays it. In this episode: You Can't Be Hungry For What You've Never Tasted — why some people aren't hungry for God (and why that's not their fault) Strict Or Romantic? — the reframe that changes everything Move The Fence In — why we should never play close to the line, and where the gray area actually leads You Don't Have To Feel Convicted To Be Convicted — how to know the voice you're hearing is God and not you He'll Just Use You Less — the line that puts the cost of consecration in one sentence Consecration was never about earning something from God. It's about making room for Him—and refusing to compromise the intimacy that comes when He draws close. It's costly, it isn't getting cheaper, and Luke and Preston both say the same thing about it: no matter what it costs, it is always worth it.    

Have you ever had God ask something of you without telling you how it's going to end? No roadmap, no snapshot of the finish line — just "go." Walking with God can feel like being handed a boarding pass with no destination printed on it, and if you aren't careful, the not knowing will convince you something is wrong. In this episode, Preston Morrison shares what God is teaching him in a real season of unknowns and unpacks five reasons why the God who knows the end from the beginning loves to withhold the details. If you want to stop being frustrated by the silence and start seeing it as an invitation, you have to understand what God is actually doing in the land of "I don't know." In this conversation, we're unpacking: Flying Blind: What Preston's pilot's license taught him about walking by faith — and why "visual flight rules" faith is entry-level living.  The Credit Trap: Why you can't take credit and bring glory at the same time.  What the Wait Reveals: What you talk about, pray about, and gripe about in a season of unknown points straight at what you actually trust the most.  Outcome Idolatry: Why God refuses to show you the ending — Partial obedience is still an ultimatum. The Stops You Sprint Past: There's something on the path more important than the eventual outcome.  If God has asked something of you and gone quiet on the details, this conversation is your reminder: His silence isn't rejection — it's an invitation to draw near.    

What if the easiest thing in the world to do is grieve the Holy Spirit — and the hardest thing in the world is to keep from it? Most of us treat the Spirit's presence like a given. Dr. R.T. Kendall has spent 70 years learning the opposite: that the third person of the Godhead is a very, very sensitive person — and He won't bend the rules for anyone. Not even a man who's been walking with Him for eight decades. At 91 years old, Dr. Kendall is one of the most respected theologians alive — 25 years at Westminster Chapel in London, author of multiple books, including Total Forgiveness. He's also been canceled, publicly rebuked, and thrown under the bus by both sides of the church for one message he refuses to let go of — the power of word & Spirit. In this conversation, Preston sits down with him to talk about the vision that started it all, the burden he's carried for over 30 years, and the teaching that changed Preston's marriage in real time. In this episode: * The Silent Divorce — why the church split into "word churches" and "spirit churches," and what happens when the two remarry * Ishmael and Isaac — the message that cost Dr. Kendall his reputation with Baptists, Reformed, and charismatics all at once * October 31, 1955 — the vision on old US-41 that was "more real than you are right now" * Adjusting to the Dove — a couple's discovery that reframes everything about the Spirit's presence * Closing the Gap — Dr. Kendall's one-sentence definition of spirituality (and why mid-sentence repentance is the goal) Do you know what grieves Him? Dr. Kendall says finding that out will change everything.  

Why won't God trust you with more? What if the answer has nothing to do with your effort — and everything to do with your direction? Most of us are chasing an upgrade: a better house, a better title, a better version of our lives. But for Korey Miller, blessing has never come from chasing it. It's come from a lifetime of making his life about others — and watching how God responds. In this episode, Preston sits down with good friend Korey Miller to unpack a supernaturally selfless story, from keeping every employee on payroll when COVID shut down his industry because God said "wait for me," to becoming a father to a village when life didn't hand him the family he pictured. What emerges is a roadmap — the connection between how you care for others and how much God is willing to trust you with. In this episode: * The Roadmap to Blessing: Why supernatural care for others is the path to God's favor. * "Wait for Me": The decision that made no business sense — and became the biggest season in Korey's company history. * Bitterness as Fuel: Why winning out of bitterness means staying bitter to win, and what Korey burned instead. * Direct vs. Harsh: The mentors who never sugarcoated it, and why real growth requires people who tell you the truth. * Raised by a Village: How the boy a village poured into became a man who raises one — and what that means for everyone. God wants to trust you with more. But if it's all about you, you're always going to be stuck with less. This conversation is about what happens when you finally make it about them.    

You said yes to Jesus. But which one? Because the first yes was the easy one — and God isn't done asking. In this episode of The Leader's Cut, Preston Morrison and Tim Ross sit down for an honest, unfiltered conversation on what continuous obedience really looks like. We often hear people say, "Thank you for your yes," as if walking with God is defined by a single, one-time decision. But a single "yes" doesn't build something that lasts. From navigating difficult transitions to wrestling with God's timing, Tim and Preston break down the difference between counterfeit, conditional, and true confirmation "yeses". If you feel like God is asking you for a hard, excruciating decision right now, this episode will help you see His request not as an inconvenience—but as a divine compliment. In this episode, we’ll discuss: The Myth of the Single Yes: True discipleship is a string of escalating, daily yeses rather than a blanket decision. The 3 Types of Yeses: Counterfeit yeses (which are actually no’s), conditional yeses ("yes, as long as..."), and confirmation yeses. The Jonah Effect: Why saying "no" to God brings divine opposition, and why his opposition can actually lead us back to the right path. Obedience Escalates: The shift from cutting ties (leaving home), to covenant, to oneself—and how obedience escalates over time. You already know what He's asking for. This conversation is about what happens when you finally answer.    

God moves excruciatingly slowly… until He moves supernaturally suddenly. If you've been plowing — head down, hidden, faithful, wondering if anything will ever change — this episode is a right-now word for you. Preston unpacks what he learned transitioning from 12 years of plowing to the season of the double portion, and why so many of us miss what's next. Because here's what nobody tells you about new seasons: the rules that worked in the last one won't work in the next one. What God let slide when you were 17 can cost you everything at 40. The people who carried you through the cave may not be built for the palace. And the God who took a century to send rain can flood the sky from a cloud the size of a man's hand. In this episode, we discuss: Seasons Change : Why God’s sovereignty dictates your timing and how to find beauty in both the hard and harvest seasons. When The Season Changes, The Rules Change : How God shifts the people around you and transitions you from relying on sacrifice to walking in total obedience. You Must Change : Experiencing more of God’s Spirit requires less tolerance for the flesh and a higher standard of maturity — which is why Preston has fired himself as pastor of Pillar Church five or six times. If you've been plowing with no end in sight, this one is for you.    

What does God’s voice actually sound like? And how do you know if it’s Him or just your own thoughts? Most believers spend years waiting for a dramatic, audible sign from heaven. But for author/teacher David Holland, learning to hear God came down to something far more intimate: recognizing the distinct tone, timber, and fragrance of the Holy Spirit operating through his own inner voice. In this episode, Preston sits down with David to break down how to distinguish personal thoughts from divine prompting. After losing everything at age 50, following a supernatural warning he almost ignored, David learned firsthand what it takes to quiet a noisy mind, abandon transactional "laundry list" prayers, and compose the soul in God’s presence. In this episode: The Warning Sign: What happened when David heard God's voice before losing everything. The Ghostwriter's Lens: Lessons from years spent writing behind the scenes for leaders around the world. Is That God or Me? Practical tests to tell the difference between your thoughts and the Holy Spirit. Rethinking Prayer: Why shifting away from "request lists" changes everything about experiencing God. Quieting the Soul: How to cultivate stillness and hear God in a loud, distracted culture. Whether you're facing a major life decision, feeling stuck in your prayer life, or simply wanting to cultivate a deeper daily awareness of God, this conversation provides practical, time-tested tools for clarity in your walk with God.      

Have you ever stepped off a mountaintop moment with God only to crash into complete spiritual emptiness? You gave Him everything, yet suddenly you can’t feel His presence, hear His voice, or make sense of the season you’re in. In this episode of The Leader's Cut, Preston sits down with ministry leader, author, and founder of Confident Women Co., Amanda Pittman. Amanda opens up about navigating a heavy "dark night of the soul"—a disorienting season that hit right after an extraordinary move of God. Together, Preston and Amanda pull back the curtain on how the enemy operates in times of isolation, spiritual fatigue, and waiting. They unpack why scaling back your faith is a dangerous trap, how to go on the offensive when under attack, and why turning the "lights on" by inviting trusted community into your struggle is the key to breaking the enemy’s power. INSIDE THIS EPISODE: The Aftermath of Mountaintop Moments: What to do when you leave a season of revival feeling completely depleted and spiritually numb. Defeating the Lie of Obscurity: Why the enemy tries to convince you that your faithfulness doesn't matter—and how to fight back using the power of remembrance. Flipping the Lights On: How keeping silent prolongs spiritual attack, and why vulnerability with godly community is a lethal weapon against the enemy. Misinterpreting the Vision: Why you shouldn't assume step one is supposed to look like step 100, and how to get God's direct interpretation for the promise He gave you. The Cure for Heartbreak: Why scaling back your expectations won't protect your heart—and why your soul heals when you dare to believe God again. If you feel like you've been fighting in the dark, wondering why things aren't matching the vision God gave you, this episode will re-arm you for battle and remind you that God is not finished with you yet.    

Are you in a season where you're frustrated because you thought you’d be further by now? You thought things would be different, and the harvest you’ve been praying for still hasn't arrived. In this powerful episode of The Leader's Cut, Preston Morrison dives deep into a subject he feels he has earned his doctorate in — the essential, supernatural power of the plow. While the rest of the world is obsessed with the harvest and the blessings, Preston unpacks why God’s most trusted people must first become people of the plow. A plowing season is not a storm. It is marked by crushing, difficult conditions where everything seems harder than it should be, takes longer than it needs to, and is met with intense spiritual warfare. But plowing is not divine punishment. If God has handed you a plow, it is a divine compliment. INSIDE THIS EPISODE: The 7 Principles of the Plow: Why everyone wants to talk about the harvest, but God wants to talk about the preparation. The 4 Types of Fields: Understanding the difference between pavement, potential, already plowed, and plentiful fields. Why Plowing is Hard : How to stop blaming yourself when things take longer than they should, and why plowing doesn't bring immediate fruit, it makes room for it. Never Plow with a Donkey: Unpacking the shocking command of Deuteronomy 22:10 and why you must never team up with talkers who want the harvest without the work. The Trap of Other Fields: Why looking at other people's path will ruin your straight lines. Plowing Your Heart vs. Plowing Your Field: The ultimate danger of stepping into a massive harvest with a heart you never allow God to break up and prune. If you are tired of struggling through "pavement" seasons, tempted to look at other fields, or wondering when the pain of the grind will end, this episode is your urgent reminder to keep your hand on the plow.    

"You train your body for the games and you're training for a crown that doesn't last. The fame, money, recognition, opportunities... none of it is actually fulfilling." — Carly Patterson Caldwell What happens when you achieve everything the world tells you to chase, only to realize the prize doesn’t satisfy? In this episode of The Leader's Cut, Preston sits down with Olympic All-Around Gymnastics Gold Medalist Carly Patterson Caldwell. At just 16 years old, Carly stood on top of the world podium, carrying the expectations of millions. But behind the gold medals and effortless routines was a grueling education in consistency, failure, and preparation. Carly shares the raw reality of training hours every week, surviving "come-to-Jesus" moments with her coach, and tuning out the massive distractions of a normal teenager to pursue a single goal. Also in this deeply vulnerable conversation, she pulls back the curtain on her grueling journey through infertility. After spending a lifetime training her body to do exactly what she commanded, Carly found herself in a place where she was 100% out of control. Whether you are fighting to stay disciplined in the mundane, facing the taunts of the enemy in a season of waiting, or struggling under the crushing pressure of expectations, this conversation is a vital blueprint for running a race that actually matters. INSIDE THIS EPISODE: The Spark at Six Years Old: How God planted an immediate, unshakeable passion inside a young girl. A Doctorate in Consistency: Carly breaks down why consistency is inherently boring, unglamorous, and absolutely necessary to reach the top. The "Come-To-Jesus" Meeting: The critical turning point six months before the Olympic Games when Carly had to choose between normal teenage distractions and ultimate dedication. Crushing Expectations: How to handle the intense weight of people's expectations without letting them crumble your identity. The Valley of Surrender: Carly opens up about the dark season of infertility and the absolute chaos of losing control over her own body. Chasing a Crown That Lasts: Why Olympic gold, fame, and money fail to fulfill, and how Paul’s athletic imagery applies directly to our daily spiritual walk with Christ.    

What if your greatest spiritual battles aren't actually an attack from the enemy, but an agreement you made with your own flesh? In this episode of The Leader's Cut, Preston sits down with Tim Ross for a conversation that cuts straight to the bone. We love to blame the devil for our exhaustion, our burnout, and our failures. But the uncomfortable question we must ask ourself is — Are we rolling out the red carpet for him? First Peter 5:8 warns that the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. He is looking for the easiest, most compromised targets. In this episode, Tim breaks down how our lack of natural disciplines, unmanaged appetites, and self-induced exhaustion are making the enemy's job borderline impossible to fail. If you are tired of feeling defeated, overwhelmed, and completely drained, it’s time to stop blaming the unseen realm and start slamming the door shut on your own flesh. INSIDE THIS EPISODE: The Blueprint of Devouring: Tim unpacks the terrifying, literal definition of what it means to be "devoured" by a python spirit that doesn't just want a bite—it wants to swallow your entire life whole. The Trap of "Godly" Exhaustion: Why burning out might actually be a sin of agreement. The Esau Compromise: How an unmanaged physical appetite or exhaustion will make you subconsciously stand before your life and trade away a divine birthright for temporary comfort. The Elijah Question: When you are exhausted and running alone, God will always ask the ultimate question: "How did you get here?" Learn how to recognize where you truly are before you crash. If you're ready for the knife of heaven to cut away the excuses and give you a real plan of attack to walk in true victory, this episode is your wake-up call.  

In this episode, Preston sits down for a profound, deeply vulnerable conversation with former Dallas Cowboys star and NFL Hall of Famer DeMarcus Ware. They explore the intersection of elite athletic success, intense personal pain, and ultimate spiritual transformation. For years, DeMarcus was one of the most feared defenders in NFL history. But his greatest transition didn't happen on the field—it happened in his heart. In this transparent conversation, DeMarcus opens up about moving past a surface-level belief into a life of total surrender, finding his true identity outside of football, and stepping boldly into his new, divine assignment. What You’ll Learn: The Trap of "Believing" vs. "Following": DeMarcus breaks down why simply believing in God isn't enough, and shares the exact moment he realized he was a fan of Jesus rather than a follower. When the Lights Go Out: What happens to your identity when the thing you’ve done your whole life is suddenly gone? DeMarcus gets raw about the quiet, difficult transition out of the NFL spotlight and into the unknown. Spotting the Enemy's Game Plan: DeMarcus shares tactical spiritual wisdom on how the enemy tries to use our greatest strengths and successes against us—and how to spot the trap before it springs. The Ultimate Audible: How do you react when God completely changes your trajectory? Learn how DeMarcus embraced a "new assignment" that required more courage than any situation he ever faced on the gridiron. If you are trying to navigate a transition, trying to figure out your next chapter, or trying to find the courage to fully submit your plans to God, this episode is for you.

We tend to think the “stage” is where we do the most damage to the enemy. But the truth is, the hidden 'cave' is where the real wars are actually won. In this episode of The Leader’s Cut, Preston Morrison sits down with Brenda Palmer for a raw, unfiltered conversation about what happens when you willingly submit to the hidden seasons with God. Together, they dive deep into the mystery of "the cave"—the quiet, intentional space of intimate fellowship with the King where our rough edges are ground off and our flesh is put to death. In a culture obsessed with self-promotion and digital noise, Brenda and Preston don't hold back on where the modern church is dropping the ball. From social media distractions to a devastating lack of deep prayer, they address a holy disruption happening in the earth: a new generation is arising, and they want the true, express glory of God. In this conversation, they explore: The Anatomy of the Cave: Why the hidden place is a non-negotiable requirement for killing your flesh, and how the cave acts as the ultimate litmus test for evaluating people in your life. Fumbling the Bag: A candid look at how modern media trains leaders to talk about themselves rather than pointing people to the Lamb. The Power of The Whisper: Why the quietest, closest prayers are often the most lethal spiritual weapons you can wield. Reclaiming the House of Prayer: Why the Church's inability to satisfy a hungry generation stems from being completely "un-prayed up", and how to realign your daily rhythm around radical, constant dependence on God. This is a direct confrontation to our modern ideas of ministry and influence. It’s a call to return to the secret place where real power is forged. It’s time to settle into the cave.  

Most people treat their past like a liability—something to be hidden away or ‘cleaned up’ before it can ever be useful. But what if parts of your story are actually the keys to someone else’s breakthrough? In this episode of The Leader’s Cut, Preston Morrison is joined by his "twin," Tim Ross, for a raw conversation about the untapped power of the testimony. We’re moving past the religious idea of "sharing a story" and getting into the gritty reality of why truth-telling is a literal weapon in the hands of a believer. Tim and Preston explore the idea that the enemy’s primary goal isn't just to make you mess up—it’s to keep you quiet about how you got back up. They discuss why the world doesn't need another polished movement or a clever hashtag, but a genuine move of people who are brave enough to let the redeemed of the Lord "say so!" For anyone who has felt like their history is a disqualification, this conversation is a reminder that your mess is often the exact bridge someone else needs to cross over into their own healing. In this conversation, we’ll explore: The Silence Trap: Why the enemy desperately wants you to keep your story a secret and how that silence fuels the cycle of shame. The Spirit of Prophecy: Understanding the biblical weight of your testimony and why your history is actually a roadmap for someone else’s future. Beyond the Hashtag: Why genuine transformation doesn't require a PR campaign, but a simple, honest declaration of what God has done. Vulnerability as Power: Why the most influential thing you can do is stop pretending you have it all together and start telling the truth. The Testimony Tsunami: How one person’s decision to be honest can trigger a chain reaction of freedom for everyone around them. This is an invitation to stop hiding and start weaponizing your history. Say so!    

In this episode of The Leader’s Cut, Preston Morrison sits down with Matt Chandler for a raw, honest conversation about the journey to a life of holiness. The unpack the lies that keeps most people from ever experiencing true freedom, and move past the superficial to explore what it actually looks like to be refined by the Spirit of God in the places no one else sees. Matt pulls back the curtain on the subtle but dangerous shift that happens when we stop following Jesus as Lord and start treating Him like an messenger for our own comfort. If the goal of life has become an endless cycle of upgrades and ease, this conversation serves as a necessary reset. It’s a deep dive into the reality that real change isn’t found in a crowded room on Sunday, but in the quiet, mundane moments of a random weekday afternoon. In this conversation, we explore: * The "Tuesday" Concept: The reason spiritual growth is actually found in the monotonous, ordinary parts of life rather than the mountaintops. * The Strength of Vulnerability: Why the most influential people are often the ones willing to be the most honest about their own need for change. * Conviction vs. Shame: How to tell the difference between the voice that wants to hide you and the voice that wants to heal you. * No Dark Corners: What it looks like to finally invite God into the spaces we usually try to keep off-limits. This episode isn't just a conversation; it’s an invitation to stop performing and start yielding. For anyone who feels like they’ve been running on a spiritual treadmill, this discussion offers a path toward a peace that actually lasts—even when life gets uncomfortable.    

Ok…I am giving you a heavy, high-stakes tactical assignment. I need your help BIG time, because by the end of this episode, we’re calling for a coordinated, global counter-strike. There is a massive wave of cultural opposition and fear heading our way, and one of the enemy's top strategies is spiritual amnesia. He wants us to forget the miracles of yesterday so we panic about the battles of tomorrow. But there is a counter-offensive, let’s talk about it… In this episode of The Leader’s Cut, Preston Morrison pulls back the curtain on the power of memorial pillars. This is a strategic roadmap for taking ground back from the enemy. We are unpacking the exact mechanics of driving a prophetic stake into the earth, because if you don't boldly declare the spaces where God has moved, the enemy will step in to hijack them. In this episode, we are unpacking what lights the fuse : The Antidote to Fear: Why a physical declaration of "God did that" is your only active defense against the rampant dread the enemy is trying to unleash on our culture. The Amnesia Trap: How comfort causes us to secretly believe our hand did that, and why the "Humility Protocol" keeps us radically dependent on the Spirit. The Turf War: Learn why the enemy aggressively tries to turn your places of encounter into houses of wickedness, and how a prophetic stake in the ground reclaims the territory. The Identity Protocol: How God takes Jacob back to the scene of his deepest family trauma, not to punish him, but to completely rename, refine, and redefine him. This isn’t just an invitation to watch or listen to another episode; we’re asking you to partner in a physical act of obedience that covers the earth with testimonies of God's power. It’s time to stop letting the enemy hijack holy ground. Saddle up. It’s time to light this fuse.   **If you’re committing to placing a memorial pillar, send us a quick summary of where you left your rock and why. Let’s track the territory we reclaim together!**      

Be honest: If God told you the way to save your business or your marriage was to walk in circles and then yell at a wall... would you do it? Or would you start looking for a better 'strategy'? We love the idea of victory, but we usually hate the instructions required to get there. We want the walls to fall, but we want them to fall in a way that makes sense to our logic. But as we see in the story of Jericho, God isn't looking for a great strategist—He’s looking for someone who knows how to take orders and be obedient. In this episode of The Leader’s Cut, Preston Morrison is digging into the "Jericho Roadmap." We’re talking about the gritty, high-stakes reality of what happens when you stop asking God to come alongside your plan and start realizing that He is the Commander of His own. If you’ve been feeling like you’re fighting a losing battle, it might be because you’re still trying to be the one in control. We’re breaking down the mechanics of spiritual victory, including: The Fear Paradox: Why the enemy is actually afraid while you’re busy being afraid of him. The Command of Courage: Why ‘Do Not Be Afraid’ isn't a suggestion—it's an order. When God Shows Up: The wild moment Joshua realized God didn't come to "help" him—He came to take over. The "Crazy" Test: Why your next breakthrough is probably hidden behind an act of obedience that makes zero sense to your flesh. The Achan Warning: Why one small, hidden compromise can freeze the progress of an entire army. Victory isn't something you win; it’s something you receive through a level of obedient faith that most people will never understand. Are you ready for the walls to come down?      

Let’s be honest — Most of us aren’t actually moving forward. We’re just running away from things that happened years ago, hoping that if we go fast enough, the past won't catch up. We’ve all heard the advice to "just let it go" or "give it to God," but if it were that easy, why are we still so exhausted? Why does that one mistake from a decade ago still have the power to ruin your Tuesday morning? In this episode of The Leader’s Cut, Preston Morrison and Tim Ross are getting back into the gritty reality of what it actually takes to find your "Missing Peace." This isn't a conversation about surface-level "happiness"—it's a deep dive into the parts of your soul you’ve been trying to ignore. If you feel like you’re just surviving your life instead of living it, it’s time for a reality check. The Holy Spirit wants to do more than just comfort you; He wants to cut away the trauma that has been making your decisions for you. We’re talking about the stuff nobody wants to talk about, including: * The Inner Critic’s Real Identity: Who is that voice in your head that’s constantly bothered by your mistakes? (Hint: It’s not God, and it’s not just "you.") * Emotional Indigestion: Why the things you refuse to process are currently defining your future. * The Biology of Peace: How to move the peace of Jesus from a "concept" in your head to a "regulation" in your actual nervous system. * Why You’re Not "Here": The real reason you find it impossible to be present with the people you love. * The Trap of Self-Awareness: Why knowing you have a problem isn’t the same thing as letting Him cut it out. You can keep running, or you can stop and finally metabolize what’s been chasing you. It’s time to stop letting start walking in the peace you were actually designed for. This is where true healing begins.    

Most of us are trying to force a harvest in a season that was meant for pruning. We claim to want the Promised Land, but we’re doing everything in our power to skip the wilderness. We want the fruit, but we’re terrified of the shears. In this episode of The Leader’s Cut, Preston Morrison sits down with Jabin Chavez (Lead Pastor of City Light Church, Las Vegas) to discuss the divine mechanics of the wilderness. We have become experts at producing results faster than God intended, creating "Ishmaels" because we aren't patient enough to wait for an "Isaac." But the principles of God's process are clear: if your character doesn't grow at the same rate as your capacity, your calling will eventually crush you. In this conversation, we’re breaking down the anatomy of God's process: The Worshiper vs. The Warrior: Why your public influence is only as sustainable as your private devotion. The "Arm of the Flesh" Trap: Understanding why the flesh is always faster, but only the Spirit produces a promise that lasts. Don’t Move Without a Word: Why you should never do anything until you have first have God's word for that season. Success vs. Survival: How to protect your soul when the world’s goalposts of success won't stop shifting. The Math of the Kingdom: Why "subtraction" is almost always the prerequisite for the multiplication you’ve been praying for. If you feel like you’re stuck in a "slow" season or a dark valley, stop trying to find the exit. This is a deep-dive into the heart of being a living sacrifice. God isn't ignoring you—He's just making sure you're ready for what’s next.    

Oftentimes, we claim to live by faith, but most of us won't take a single step without a five-year plan and a guaranteed outcome.   The greatest enemy of your faith isn't necessarily the devil—it’s your demand for predictability. We say we want to follow God into the unknown, but the moment the "wilderness" gets uncomfortable, we start looking for the old ways of Egypt. Let’s talk about what faith REALLY requires...   In this episode of The Leader’s Cut, Preston Morrison exposes the idol of predictability that has taken up residence in the church today. If the Holy Spirit is going to lead you into the promise, He first has to cut away your addiction to a map. This isn't just about "believing" for things; it’s about the daily work of walking with a God who only gives enough manna for today.   In this conversation, we’re breaking down the actual anatomy of faith: Why our fear of the unknown turns our desire for "safety" into an idol that keeps us stuck in spiritual slavery. Understanding what a life of faith actually requires. Why walking by faith isn't a passive wait—it's a partnership. Why God purposely keeps the full plan from you.   This isn’t a pep talk about "having more faith." It’s a call to tear down the idol of control and start walking in close fellowship with the only One who actually knows what tomorrow brings.    

"Are you actually okay?” Most of us have a "Missing Peace" in our lives that we try to fill with everything except the Source. We reach for the promotion, the new house, the hobby, or even a more "spiritual" playlist, hoping the emptiness will finally stop humming in the background. But what if the reason you’re still exhausted isn't because you aren't trying hard enough—but because you’re trying to heal what you refuse to reveal? In this episode of The Leader’s Cut, Preston Morrison is joined by Tim Ross to drop a major reality check on the state of our souls. We’re moving past the "just pray about it" platitudes to talk about the spiritual mechanics of peace. If the Holy Spirit is guiding our lives, then peace isn’t just a feeling; it’s a regulation of your entire being—body, soul, and spirit. This conversation gets into the stuff we usually keep quiet: * The "Fix" Fallacy: Why your coping mechanisms (from video games to "religious" busyness) are actually sending a personal invitation for the enemy to keep you stuck. * The Revelation Requirement: Why the Holy Spirit can't cut away the pain you're still trying to hide. * Body Regulation: The wild truth about how the peace Jesus left you is designed to regulate your physical and emotional responses to a chaotic world. * Moving the Goalposts: Why Jesus didn't save you so you could just "survive" your life—and how to finally start thriving in the freedom He actually paid for. This isn't a lecture on "how to be happier." It's a deep dive into the process of heart-circumcision that leads to true, unshakable freedom. It’s time to stop settling for temporary happiness and start walking in the peace you were created for.    

"The enemy doesn't need to win a massive battle if he can just get you to leave the door unlocked." "The enemy doesn't need to win a massive battle if he can just get you to leave the door unlocked." Most of us view spiritual warfare as a series of spooky events, but the reality is much more subtle—and much more personal. We often find ourselves in a cycle of either obsessing over the enemy or ignoring him entirely, while all the while, the "flesh" is leaving doors wide open for him to rent real estate in our hearts. In this episode of The Leader’s Cut, Preston Morrison pulls back the curtain on the spiritual mechanics of navigating spiritual warfare. If we want the Holy Spirit to move freely, we have to allow Him to cut away the habits and footholds that give the enemy a seat at our table. In this conversation, we’re breaking down: The Obsession Trap: Why constantly blaming the enemy for every inconvenience is actually a personal invitation for him to stay. Open Doors & Footholds: Identifying the one thing about yourself you least want to admit—and why that secret might be the longest-standing open door in your life. The Enemy’s Notes on You: How to understand the specific angles and triggers the adversary uses against your unique personality and history. Don't Fight Fair: Why trying to resist the enemy on his terms is a losing strategy, and how to practice divine annoyance by doing exactly what he hates most. The Prayer Intercept: Understanding what is happening in the unseen realm when it feels like your requests are being blocked. This isn’t about being afraid; it’s about being aware. It’s time to stop fighting the wrong battles and start closing the doors that were never meant to be open.      

"God didn't make you with a cookie-cutter template. So why are you spending so much energy trying to fit into everyone else's mold?" We spend so much of our lives trying to close our "skill gaps" and fix our weaknesses. We look at the people around us, compare our natural wiring to theirs, and try to force ourselves to operate in lanes we were never anointed for. But what if the key to your purpose isn't becoming someone new, but finally discovering how you were actually designed to be by God? In this episode of The Leader’s Cut, Preston Morrison sits down with Kristy Bach, President of Know Your Talents. Kristy's firm has spent over two decades helping companies get to the root of what makes people tick. But in this conversation, we are taking those high-level behavioral concepts and turning the mirror on you. It's time to unlock your "behavioral foundation" and see how God answers the four deepest questions of your heart. In this conversation, we’ll cover: How to uncover your unique "behavioral DNA"—identifying your true strengths, stressors, and motivators rather than operating in someone else's image. Why acknowledging your natural limitations isn't a sign of weakness, but the secret to unlocking your real potential. Understanding your specific voice and contribution, and how to confidently bring that to your family, your community, and your calling. Moving past the grind to find strategic alignment between how God wired you and where He is calling you to go. This isn’t just a guide on how to be a better boss or coworker. It’s a reality check for anyone who feels stuck, exhausted, or wondering if they have anything significant to contribute. Your personality isn't a problem to be solved; it's a design to be deployed. It's time to find out what makes you great!    

"The enemy isn’t just watching your struggle—he’s banking on it." Most of us view frustration as a sign of spiritual failure. We think that if we were "holy" enough, we wouldn’t feel the weight, the exhaustion, or the urge to just walk away. But what if the very thing you’re trying to hide from God is actually the key to your intimacy with Him? In this episode of The Leader’s Cut, Preston gets incredibly honest about the internal flesh that tries to convince us to quit. We’re moving past the clichés to look at the spiritual mechanics of perseverance. It’s time to stop letting the enemy celebrate your burnout and start allowing the Holy Spirit to cut away the reactions and habits that are draining your tank. In this conversation, we’re breaking down: Normalizing Frustration: Why intimacy with God requires a level of honesty most of us are too scared to bring to the altar. Friendly Fire: How your flesh tries to turn your closest allies into enemies when you’re under pressure (and how to stop the cycle). Filling Your Tank: Understanding that God created you with needs, and why ignoring your fuel level is a recipe for a crash. Spiritual Metabolism: Why starving yourself spiritually leads to a lack of muscle when the fight actually gets intense. The Enemy’s Downfall: The specific reason your enemy wants you to quit, and why God loves nothing more than humiliating him through your victory. This isn’t a pep talk, it’s a reality check for the believer who is ready to give up. The enemy wants you to quit, but God has provided the keys to help you outlast the attack. It’s time to stop fighting your allies and start shaming your enemy.    

We’ve been told that marriage is the "happily ever after"— the place where your needs finally get met and the struggle finally ends. But what if that’s the very lie that’s killing your relationship? Most people spend their lives looking for a "soulmate" to complete them, but they aren't ready for a covenant that’s designed to... well, kill them. In this episode of The Leader’s Cut, Preston Morrison and Tim Ross are dropping the filter. They’re moving past the typical romantic clichés to talk about the one thing no one puts on the wedding invitation: the brutal, beautiful requirement to die to yourself every single day. Whether you’re married or want to be married one day, this conversation is for you. We’re diving into the stuff most people avoid: Why being "right" is actually the most expensive thing you can chase in your house (and how it’s currently suffocating your connection). Why your "individuality" might be the very thing standing in the way of the marriage you actually want. What happens to the atmosphere of your home when you finally choose sacrifice over self-preservation. Why marriage is designed to expose your deepest flaws—and why that’s actually the best news for your growth. This isn’t a date night manual, it’s a reality check. It’s time to stop treating your marriage like a contract and start carrying it like a cross.    

"The fastest way to wreck your calling is to try and carry it all by yourself." If you’re honest, you’ve probably felt it: that creeping suspicion that the weight of it all is starting to crush you. Most try to solve this by working harder, staying later, or "grinding" through the wilderness. But here’s the reality—you can’t "out-grind" a lack of people in your life. If God has called you to go somewhere you’ve never been, He has also called a specific circle of people to get you there. In this episode, we’re looking at five distinct archetypes from the Bible that everybody needs, no matter what stage of life you’re in. We’re not talking about just "friends" or “co-workers.” We’re talking about specific, strategic relationships that define the difference between a crash and a victory lap. In this conversation, we’re breaking down: Why you need someone who knows the path better than you do (and why your attitude might be stopping them from helping). How to find the person who can handle the parts of your vision that you’re honestly not anointed for. The person who doesn't care about your platform—they only care about your soul. Why a lack of "courageous correction" in your life is the greatest threat to your destiny. How to identify the peer who is ready to step into the ring when you’re too exhausted to swing. The problem? You can’t attract these people if you aren’t willing to pay the Kingdom price of admission. You weren't meant to do it all by yourself. It’s time to stop fighting alone and start building the circle that sustains the call.    

"Sometimes we have to get stronger by getting a little bit smaller." In this episode of The Leader’s Cut, Preston Morrison sits down with Landon McDonald, Senior Pastor of Mission Church in Gilbert, AZ, for a high-level conversation on The Church of today. They breakdown the protocols of spiritual authority, the necessity of the "secret place," the dangerous rise of performative Christianity, and balancing "Word and Spirit" in a way that carries real weight. Together, they explore why the next generation is rejecting "BS Christianity" and instead chasing a root system that can survive any drought. This conversation covers: The Disease of Performance: Why "performed spirituality" before inward spirituality is the greatest threat to modern leadership. The Field of Anonymity: The vital importance of being "impossible to find" in the secret place before you are ever asked to stand on a “stage.” It's God-Breathed: Reclaiming a deep, visceral respect for the Theopneustos nature of the Word. A Mandate for the Word: How to teach from a place of spiritual reservoir. The "No BS" Generation: Why today’s youth are looking for orthodox truth over reckless verbiage.  

In this episode, Preston Morrison dives into one of the most intense moments in the Gospels: Matthew 23. When Jesus looks at the religious people of His day and shouts "Woe!", He isn't just venting—He’s performing a heart transplant. Preston breaks down why the harvest only goes to those who are actually ready to receive it, and how we might be sabotaging the very thing we’re praying for. In this conversation, we’re pulling back the curtain on: The Gatekeeper Problem: Are you using foolish arguments to shut the door of the Kingdom on people? Comfortable Hypocrisy: Why loving God is impossible if you’re harboring hatred. The "Show Pony" Trap: Why cleaning up your outside for others to see is a waste of time if there’s decay on the inside. Majoring on the Minors: Are you straining out gnats while swallowing camels? We discuss shifting our focus back to what God actually cares about. The Danger of Pride: Why the pride of a believer is actually a bigger spiritual threat than the attacks of the enemy. If you’ve ever felt like your spiritual life was becoming beautiful on the outside but dry on the inside—this episode is your wake-up call. It’s time to stop dabbling in double standards and start living a life that invites people in.      

We’ve been conditioned to view being single as a 'waiting room'—a temporary, slightly awkward space you’re just trying to pass through until the 'real' part of your life begins. But what if that’s a lie? What if this isn’t a delay, but an intentional season and space to steward? In this episode of The Leader’s Cut, Preston Morrison & Tim Ross gets incredibly honest about the obsession with relationship status. We’re moving past the usual platitudes to talk about what it looks like to be a whole, functioning human being—with or without a partner. This conversation covers: The "Missing Piece" Myth: Why a relationship isn’t a magic fix for your problems or your personality. Maxing Out Your Freedom: How to actually use the time, energy, and headspace you have right now instead of wasting it on "what ifs." Dealing with the Noise: Practical ways to handle the pressure from family, friends, and social media that makes you feel like you're "behind." Ownership: Taking responsibility for your own happiness and growth today, rather than putting it on a future person. This isn’t a guide on how to get a date, it’s a reality check for anyone who feels like they’re stuck in "pause" mode. It’s time to stop looking at the door and start living in the room you’re currently in.    

Too often, we treat the "honeymoon phase" as the peak of our affection, only to let laziness, immaturity, and walls slowly dismantle the foundation of our most important relationship. In this episode of The Leader’s Cut, we’re breaking down the "Architecture of Affection." We explore the five toxic behaviors a loving relationship simply cannot tolerate and the five non-negotiables every couple must maintain to thrive. From shifting out of "roommate syndrome" to the power of mutual submission, this is a deep dive into building a marriage that doesn't just survive the years but gets stronger through them. In this episode, we discuss: The Killers of Intimacy: Why laziness, passive-aggressiveness, and manipulation are the "slow leaks" in a marriage. The Maturity Shift: How to stop thinking like a child and start using your words to affirm rather than attack. Walls vs. Safety: The danger of showing your body while hiding your heart, and how to earn (and offer) true trust. The Power of Submission: Redefining mutual submission as a military-grade strategy for covering each other's weaknesses. The Playfulness Dashboard: Why flirting, laughter, and trying new things are the indicators of a healthy relationship. Are you ready to take your marriage to the next level? Remember, it doesn’t come cheap. The person you love the most should always cost you the most.    

In this episode of The Leader’s Cut, Preston is joined by his wife, Holly Morrison, for a candid conversation about the walls that inhibit intimacy in marriage. Together, they peel back the layers on why "co-existing" isn't the biblical standard for marriage. A thriving marriage doesn’t happen by accident; it is intentionally cultivated through vulnerability, grace, and a refusal to settle for the status quo. Holly and Preston share personal insights on reclaiming the marriage bed as a place of holy connection, breaking down the walls of "roommate syndrome," and cultivating a healthy, satisfying sex life. In this episode, we discuss: Identifying "Intimacy Inhibitors": Recognizing the habits that quietly drift you apart. The Truth About Intimacy: Why it is far deeper than just a physical connection. Creating Emotional Safety: Practical ways to foster a secure environment for your spouse. Reclaiming Connection: How to find each other again after seasons of distance or "busyness." If you’re ready to stop settling for a "roommate" dynamic and start building a thriving, intimate sex life the way God intended it to be, this episode is for you.    

The world is more than just the planet we live on; it is a system designed by the enemy to oppose everything God wants to do in your life. It is a value system that intentionally excludes your Creator, and if you aren’t careful, it will feel like you’re trying to breathe underwater without oxygen. In this episode, Preston Morrison exposes the enemy’s three-part playbook—a strategy so predictable that it was used in the Garden of Eden, against Jesus in the wilderness, and is being used against you right now. If you want to experience a dominant year, you have to learn how to identify these traps and set fire to the playbook before the enemy can run his next play. In this conversation, we’re tearing down the three biggest obstacles to your victory: The Trap of Godly Appetites: Hunger, thirst, and desire are gifts from God, but the enemy wants you to satisfy them in ungodly ways. We discuss why the "easy way" is always the most expensive way, and how satisfying a good desire the wrong way can cost you more than you can afford to pay. The Power of the Look: There is a massive difference between seeing something and looking at it. We explore why your eyes are the lamp of your body and how to navigate a world filled with landmines by keeping your eyes fixed on the only One who knows where they’re buried. The Pride of Life: Satan’s favorite weapon is the overconfidence that makes you forget you are dependent on God. We break down the danger of bragging on yourself and why boasting in the Lord is actually a painful reminder to your enemy of who is backing you up. Survival Equipment: If the world isn't our natural habitat, how are we still standing? We talk about the special equipment every believer has—the Holy Spirit—and why He is the reason you’ve already won the victory. It’s time to stop being ignorant of the enemy’s devices and start operating in the dominance you were created for.    

Are you living out a name you didn't choose? What if the identity you’ve been carrying for years isn't actually yours? Most of us carry "labels,” names given to us by people in seasons of pain, by a past we can't change, or by a world that only sees our mistakes. In this episode of The Leader's Cut, we dive into the life-changing stories of Jacob and Benjamin to discover how God overrules the labels of the world to give us a new identity. In this episode, we’re uncovering: The Ben-oni Trap: Why we often default to the labels given to us in our darkest moments, and the danger of letting your past define your future. The Father’s Overruling: When God steps into your story to change your name from "victim" to "victor." The Limp of Identity: Why Jacob had to lose a wrestle to gain a name—and why your greatest struggle might be the very thing that reveals who you truly are. The Final Word: How to stop answering to a name that God never called you. Your identity isn't something you create; it’s something you receive from the One who created you. Are you ready to drop the labels? Join us as we explore how to step into the strength of who He says you are.    

For too long, we’ve acted like "consecration" and "holiness" are terms reserved for the spiritual elite. We’ve lowered the bar of what it means to be a Christ-follower so much that we’ve forgotten what it looks like to be truly set apart. In this episode, we’re diving into the "romantic" side of consecration—the idea that God doesn’t want you to set yourself apart to earn His love, but as a response to the fact that you already have it. In this conversation, we’re pulling back the curtain on: The Big Myth Of Consecration: Why the call to be holy isn’t just for people with a title of ‘pastor’, and why thinking that way is keeping you from your greatest purpose. The Danger of Your Own Playbook: Who sets the boundaries in your life? If you’re the one deciding how far is "too far," you might be setting yourself up for the very attacks you’re praying to avoid. Your Secret Identity: We reveal the massive biblical truth that you aren't just a "partaker"—you are a priest. We explore what it actually means to minister to God before you ever try to do anything for Him. Gift vs. Sacrifice: Why God isn't looking for your extravagant gifts, but for the one thing that actually costs you something. If you’ve felt like you’re just going through the motions or that your spiritual lens has gotten "dirty," this episode is a call to come back to the altar. It’s time to stop setting your own rules and start living in the power that only comes from a life set apart.    

We all want that deep, unshakable intimacy with God, but most of us are still trying to figure out the "how." You’ve had those rare moments where He felt close, but you don’t know how to find your way back to that place on a random Tuesday afternoon. It feels like some people have a key to His presence that you’re still looking for. What if accessing the heart of God wasn't a mystery to solve, but a practice and environment you could actually learn to build? In this episode, Preston sits down with Onaje Jefferson to uncover something most believers completely overlook: The Protocols for His Presence. There is a way to live that doesn’t just ask for God to show up, but actually prepares a space where He wants to stay. We’re pulling back the curtain on the "triggers" of the Holy Spirit—the specific heart-postures and spiritual etiquettes that open the door to deep, unfiltered intimate fellowship with the King of the universe. In this conversation, we’re digging into the questions… What are the specific things in your daily life that act as "presence triggers"? Why does God respond to some environments and seem silent in others? How can you stop "performing" for a God who just wants to sit with you? If you’re tired with just going through the motions, this episode is your invitation into the secret place. There is a depth of fellowship available to you that changes everything—but we have to know how to prepare a place to invite Him in. It’s time to go deeper with Him…    

Let’s be honest—the battle isn’t just on the way; it’s here. It’s time to recognize that there are "giants" standing in the way of your promise. In this episode of The Leader's Cut, Preston Morrison pulls from the life of Joshua to deliver an essential list of “Be’s" for this year. This is a wartime manual for the one who refuses to settle for the conventional path. In this episode, we’re unpacking: Why bravery is the literal price of admission for the blessings you’re praying for. (And why the success of your dreams is usually on the other side of your greatest failures). How to walk with the strength of a tamed stallion—meekness that is actually power under control. Why playing with your own playbook is the fastest way to hit a ceiling. We’ll discuss how to identify the unconventional wisdom of the Holy Spirit that makes the world think you’re crazy—until you win. How to silence the lie that "it can't happen through me,” and how we can parter with the Holy Spirit to accomplish what He wants to do. Why God uses a process to grow you before He gives you the “gift”— hint: it’s all about preparation for stewardship. If you’re tired of running from fear and you’re ready to start running toward the fight, this episode is your marching orders. It’s time to battle obediently.    

Everyone wants the "oil." We pray for the anointing and we desire the power to change lives through our actions in partnership with Him. But here is the hard truth: The oil only comes through the crushing. In this episode of The Leader's Cut, Preston Morrison sits down with Tim Ross to have a real, raw conversation about the cost of carrying heaven’s oil. This isn't just about "getting" anointed; it's about the beautiful process of stewardship. In this conversation, Preston and Tim dive into: The Hidden Price Tag: Why most people want the platform but aren’t willing to endure the process that produces the oil. Stewarding the Flow: How to ensure that what God puts on you doesn’t destroy what’s in you.

If you’ve been feeling the "press" lately, or if you're wondering why the path to your calling feels so costly, this episode is your manual for the middle. It’s time to stop chasing the flame and start understanding the fuel.        

God has a unique calling for your life. But let’s be honest, are you really prepared for it? It's time to prepare for what's next. In this episode of The Leader's Cut, Preston challenges you to end the dangerous repetition of blind ignorance and enter a season of honest preparation. We’ll break down the 4 critical stages of assessment that separate those who finish strong from those who never walk into their true assignment. You will learn how to: Conquer ignorance through self-awareness: The fastest way to lose yourself is to not know yourself. Learn how pride sets the lowest ceiling for your life, and how to replace it with a true,  self evaluation. Wrestle with what is wanted: Are you living IN ambition or ON assignment? We discuss how to be brutally honest about your own desires and ensure God's  plan trumps your preferences and dreams. Determine obstacles in advance: Everyone counts the cost of a building, but few count the cost of their character. We’ll unpack how unhealed wounds, undiscovered weaknesses, and unseen worldliness could set up to rob your next anointing. Put a plan in place: Discover the systematic steps necessary to finish the race God set before you. This isn't about being perfect; it's about being prepared. If you're ready to stop the guessing game and start running the race with purpose, this episode is your crucial mid-course correction.

But let's be honest: succeeding in this next season requires more than just your ambition; it demands a specific set of non-negotiables. In this powerful episode of The Leader's Cut, Preston breaks down the 5 indispensable assets Jesus operated in and shows you how to follow His lead. Remember: You can't open a locked door without a key. This episode reveals the keys you need to walk in divine alignment with Him. You will be challenged to ask yourself: * Are you making success ultimately about you? * Will you bring others with you—even the people who hurt you on the way up? * Do you hoard what you've been given, or do you know the power of leveraging it? * When the blessings come, will you spend them or will you steward them? * When faced with a choice, will you choose obedience, no matter the cost? It's time to trade in empty ambition for Kingdom stewardship and step into the highest form of partnership, with Him.

In this raw, but essential conversation, Preston Morrison sits down with his twin, Tim Ross, to dismantle the myths around obedient sacrifice and reveal the uncomfortable truth: it always costs you something. This isn't just about money or time; it's about the deep, often painful, decision to let go of control and trust His ultimate plan. If you're wondering what you have to do to get to the "next level" in your faith, the answer may be simple, but the cost is high.
