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.

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.","meta_description":"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.
