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.

This week, we explore the path to wisdom by identifying and understanding the key characteristics that define a truly wise person. What behaviors and habits set them apart?

When A Promise From God Seems Impossible
God can be trusted to keep His promises - but that doesn't mean it will always happen when we think it should. Sometimes God makes promises which seem impossible because He simply loves building more evidence that nothing is impossible for Him. Although that perspective? It's not easy to see when we're in the waiting. So why does He make us wait for promises? And what do we do while we wait?

The Truth About Temptation
In this life, we all encounter temptation, and giving in to it can lead us down a slippery slope of sin.

As we explore the story of David and Bathsheba, there are crucial lessons to uncover about temptation, sin, and redemption. When does temptation typically happen? What happens AFTER it happens?

Understanding Your Brain (with Dr. Daniel Amen)
“Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind…”
We tend to focus on the first two, but what about the third? Our brain drives everything we think, say, or do — how well do YOU know your brain?
Preston sits down with Dr. Daniel Amen, a pioneer in the field of brain health and psychiatry to discuss why understanding your brain is crucial for personal growth, mental health, and our spiritual well-being. Dr. Amen shares insights into the five brain types, the intersection of faith and science, practical strategies to enhance your brain health and what could actually happen if we all started talking our brain health seriously.
