The Leader’s Cut with Preston Morrison
Preston Morrison
Welcome to The Leader’s Cut, hosted by Preston Morrison (Senior Pastor of Pillar Church in Scottsdale, Arizona).
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 Other Side Of Hiding
The field of anonymity is one of God's greatest gifts -- a place to grow, a place to shape, a place to draw close, all under the covering of Him. Some of God’s BEST work is done in hiding.

We Must Do Hard Things
As followers of Christ, there is one thing for certain -- at some point in our journey, we will be asked to do hard things.

Why does this have to be your path? And why on Earth would we ever choose that path?!

What If God Did Nothing More?
Hopes. Dreams. Aspirations. Accomplishments.
We all have them.
But when is the last time you set aside time to dig into the 'why' behind them? This week, we're unpacking the question: "What if God did nothing more?"
This one cuts DEEP, as we take some introspection and assessment into the why behind our wants, hopes, and dreams - and most importantly, the significance of WHO we journey with.
