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 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.","meta_description":"\"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…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2785,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-leader-s-cut-with-preston-morrison-6305620/episodes/how-do-i-navigate-spiritual-warfare/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-leader-s-cut-with-preston-morrison-6305620/how-do-i-navigate-spiritual-warfare.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
