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.
