The Leader’s Cut with Preston Morrison

In this life, we all encounter temptation, and giving in to it can lead us down a slippery slope of sin. However, the more we learn to identify and respond to it when it arises, the more we can walk in a life aligned with God. 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? And what can HE do about what we’ve already done?

“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.

At some point in life, we all face setbacks. Whether it's losing a job, the end of a relationship, or unmet expectations in a situation we were hopeful about, these 'two steps back' moments are inevitable. But how we handle these setbacks is crucial to our future progress. If approached in the right way, they have the potential to propel us forward into success. So, how do you get there? What steps do you take? And how can you turn 'two steps back' into ten steps forward?

Your life is shaped by experiences. Your story is shaped by how you respond to them -- and when you get a glimpse of how everything fits into God's plan and purpose for your life, everything changes. But how do you get there? What must you do? And what breakthroughs can happen when you shift your perspective?

One of the primary things the Father sent the Son to do was to heal broken hearts. Then, the Son sent YOU on His behalf to carry it on...Think about that for a moment — You — are sent by the Son — to help heal hurting hearts — on His behalf. That’s quite the mission. But how do we do it? How do we not create hurt in others? How do we navigate our own hurts? And how can we partner with the Holy Spirit to bring healing to everyone around us?
