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 Pathway To Growth (with Isaac Gross)
We all want to grow -- but growth never comes easy. It can be hard, painful, and sometimes take us to unexpected places. But if we want to grow into the man or women that God has called us to be, we MUST understand the path it takes to be open for growth. How do we become aware of where we need to grow? How do we eliminate the pieces of our life that stifle growth? And how do we accept our assignment, and fully step into the person we are called to be?
