When God’s Request Seems “Crazy”
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?

It's Time To Break The Silence : Where TRUE Healing Begins (with Tim Ross)
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.

The Principles Of God’s Process (with Jabin Chavez)
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.

What Faith REALLY Requires
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.

How To Find Peace Amidst The Chaos (with Tim Ross)
"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.

How Do I Navigate Spiritual Warfare?
"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.

Knowing Your Talents And How To Use Them (with Kristy Bach)
"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!

Keys to Staying in the Fight (When You’re Ready To Give Up)
"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.
