The Leader’s Cut with Preston Morrison

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 identity.

In this episode, we’re uncovering:

The Ben-oni Trap: Why we often default to the labels given to us in our darkest moments, and the danger of letting your past define your future.

The Father’s Overruling: When God steps into your story to change your name from "victim" to "victor."

The Limp of Identity: Why Jacob had to lose a wrestle to gain a name—and why your greatest struggle might be the very thing that reveals who you truly are.

The Final Word: How to stop answering to a name that God never called you. Your identity isn't something you create; it’s something you receive from the One who created you.

Are you ready to drop the labels? Join us as we explore how to step into the strength of who He says you are.

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 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.

We all want that deep, unshakable intimacy with God, but most of us are still trying to figure out the "how." You’ve had those rare moments where He felt close, but you don’t know how to find your way back to that place on a random Tuesday afternoon. It feels like some people have a key to His presence that you’re still looking for. What if accessing the heart of God wasn't a mystery to solve, but a practice and environment you could actually learn to build?

In this episode, Preston sits down with Onaje Jefferson to uncover something most believers completely overlook: The Protocols for His Presence. There is a way to live that doesn’t just ask for God to show up, but actually prepares a space where He wants to stay. We’re pulling back the curtain on the "triggers" of the Holy Spirit—the specific heart-postures and spiritual etiquettes that open the door to deep, unfiltered intimate fellowship with the King of the universe.

In this conversation, we’re digging into the questions…

What are the specific things in your daily life that act as "presence triggers"?

Why does God respond to some environments and seem silent in others?

How can you stop "performing" for a God who just wants to sit with you?

If you’re tired with just going through the motions, this episode is your invitation into the secret place. There is a depth of fellowship available to you that changes everything—but we have to know how to prepare a place to invite Him in. It’s time to go deeper with Him…

Let’s be honest—the battle isn’t just on the way; it’s here. It’s time to recognize that there are "giants" standing in the way of your promise.

In this episode of The Leader's Cut, Preston Morrison pulls from the life of Joshua to deliver an essential list of “Be’s" for this year. This is a wartime manual for the one who refuses to settle for the conventional path.

In this episode, we’re unpacking:

Why bravery is the literal price of admission for the blessings you’re praying for. (And why the success of your dreams is usually on the other side of your greatest failures).

How to walk with the strength of a tamed stallion—meekness that is actually power under control.

Why playing with your own playbook is the fastest way to hit a ceiling. We’ll discuss how to identify the unconventional wisdom of the Holy Spirit that makes the world think you’re crazy—until you win.

How to silence the lie that "it can't happen through me,” and how we can parter with the Holy Spirit to accomplish what He wants to do.

Why God uses a process to grow you before He gives you the “gift”— hint: it’s all about preparation for stewardship.

If you’re tired of running from fear and you’re ready to start running toward the fight, this episode is your marching orders. It’s time to battle obediently.

Everyone wants the "oil." We pray for the anointing and we desire the power to change lives through our actions in partnership with Him. But here is the hard truth: The oil only comes through the crushing.

In this episode of The Leader's Cut, Preston Morrison sits down with Tim Ross to have a real, raw conversation about the cost of carrying heaven’s oil. This isn't just about "getting" anointed; it's about the beautiful process of stewardship.

In this conversation, Preston and Tim dive into:

The Hidden Price Tag: Why most people want the platform but aren’t willing to endure the process that produces the oil.

Stewarding the Flow: How to ensure that what God puts on you doesn’t destroy what’s in you.

The "Crushing" Process: Why your seasons of greatest pain are often the very moments God is extracting the most valuable oil for your future.

Authority vs. Ambition: Learning the difference between climbing a ladder and being summoned to a seat.

If you’ve been feeling the "press" lately, or if you're wondering why the path to your calling feels so costly, this episode is your manual for the middle. It’s time to stop chasing the flame and start understanding the fuel.
