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’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 have it. In this conversation, we’re pulling back the curtain on: The Big Myth Of Consecration: Why the call to be holy isn’t just for people with a title of ‘pastor’, and why thinking that way is keeping you from your greatest purpose. The Danger of Your Own Playbook: Who sets the boundaries in your life? If you’re the one deciding how far is \"too far,\" you might be setting yourself up for the very attacks you’re praying to avoid. Your Secret Identity: We reveal the massive biblical truth that you aren't just a \"partaker\"—you are a priest. We explore what it actually means to minister to God before you ever try to do anything for Him. Gift vs. Sacrifice: Why God isn't looking for your extravagant gifts, but for the one thing that actually costs you something. If you’ve felt like you’re just going through the motions or that your spiritual lens has gotten \"dirty,\" this episode is a call to come back to the altar. It’s time to stop setting your own rules and start living in the power that only comes from a life set apart.","meta_description":"For too long, we’ve acted like \"consecration\" and \"holiness\" are terms reserved for the spiritual elite.
