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.
