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.

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...
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 movi...
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 sh...
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 ...
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 Jer...
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 t...
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 mech...
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 ...
"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 wha...
"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 igno...
"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...
"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 in...
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 Morris...
"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 somewhe...
"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" i...
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.
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 re...
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. F...
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 ...
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 ...
