The Leader’s Cut with Preston Morrison

Welcome to The Leader’s Cut, hosted by Preston Morrison (Senior Pastor of Pillar Church in Scottsdale, Arizona). Here, we believe you are at your best when you allow God to cut away what’s getting in His way, so He can move through you in powerful, new ways. ”The Leader” refers to Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, who guides every believer. ”The Cut” is about allowing the Holy Spirit to precisely remove the ”flesh” – those things in our lives that hinder His movement. Just as the Old Testament marked God’s people with physical circumcision, the New Testament calls for a circumcision of the heart. Join us weekly for new episodes, where we pray the Spirit of God speaks directly to you about that week’s topic. From past experiences to practical tips to cheat codes in life, lean into the ‘cuts’ each week for Biblical principles and practical takeaways that you can apply to become the person God created you to be. Watch the video episode each week on Youtube, just search ’The Leader’s Cut.’ Follow Preston on Instagram @prestonmorrison Learn more about Pillar Church at ThePillar.com

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 shar...

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 Ed...

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 id...

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 hav...

We all want that deep, unshakable intimacy with God, but most of us are still trying to figure out the "how."

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark.
