The Leader’s Cut with Preston Morrison

You said yes to Jesus. But which one? Because the first yes was the easy one — and God isn't done asking.

In this episode of The Leader's Cut, Preston Morrison and Tim Ross sit down for an honest, unfiltered conversation on what continuous obedience really looks like. We often hear people say, "Thank you for your yes," as if walking with God is defined by a single, one-time decision. But a single "yes" doesn't build something that lasts.

From navigating difficult transitions to wrestling with God's timing, Tim and Preston break down the difference between counterfeit, conditional, and true confirmation "yeses". If you feel like God is asking you for a hard, excruciating decision right now, this episode will help you see His request not as an inconvenience—but as a divine compliment.

In this episode, we’ll discuss:

The Myth of the Single Yes: True discipleship is a string of escalating, daily yeses rather than a blanket decision.

The 3 Types of Yeses: Counterfeit yeses (which are actually no’s), conditional yeses ("yes, as long as..."), and confirmation yeses.

The Jonah Effect: Why saying "no" to God brings divine opposition, and why his opposition can actually lead us back to the right path.

Obedience Escalates: The shift from cutting ties (leaving home), to covenant, to oneself—and how obedience escalates over time.

You already know what He's asking for. This conversation is about what happens when you finally answer.

God moves excruciatingly slowly… until He moves supernaturally suddenly.

If you've been plowing — head down, hidden, faithful, wondering if anything will ever change — this episode is a right-now word for you. Preston unpacks what he learned transitioning from 12 years of plowing to the season of the double portion, and why so many of us miss what's next.

Because here's what nobody tells you about new seasons: the rules that worked in the last one won't work in the next one. What God let slide when you were 17 can cost you everything at 40. The people who carried you through the cave may not be built for the palace. And the God who took a century to send rain can flood the sky from a cloud the size of a man's hand.

In this episode, we discuss:

Seasons Change : Why God’s sovereignty dictates your timing and how to find beauty in both the hard and harvest seasons.

When The Season Changes, The Rules Change : How God shifts the people around you and transitions you from relying on sacrifice to walking in total obedience.

You Must Change : Experiencing more of God’s Spirit requires less tolerance for the flesh and a higher standard of maturity — which is why Preston has fired himself as pastor of Pillar Church five or six times.

If you've been plowing with no end in sight, this one is for you.

What does God’s voice actually sound like? And how do you know if it’s Him or just your own thoughts?

Most believers spend years waiting for a dramatic, audible sign from heaven. But for author/teacher David Holland, learning to hear God came down to something far more intimate: recognizing the distinct tone, timber, and fragrance of the Holy Spirit operating through his own inner voice.

In this episode, Preston sits down with David to break down how to distinguish personal thoughts from divine prompting. After losing everything at age 50, following a supernatural warning he almost ignored, David learned firsthand what it takes to quiet a noisy mind, abandon transactional "laundry list" prayers, and compose the soul in God’s presence.

In this episode:

The Warning Sign: What happened when David heard God's voice before losing everything.

The Ghostwriter's Lens: Lessons from years spent writing behind the scenes for leaders around the world.

Is That God or Me? Practical tests to tell the difference between your thoughts and the Holy Spirit.

Rethinking Prayer: Why shifting away from "request lists" changes everything about experiencing God.

Quieting the Soul: How to cultivate stillness and hear God in a loud, distracted culture.

Whether you're facing a major life decision, feeling stuck in your prayer life, or simply wanting to cultivate a deeper daily awareness of God, this conversation provides practical, time-tested tools for clarity in your walk with God.

Have you ever stepped off a mountaintop moment with God only to crash into complete spiritual emptiness? You gave Him everything, yet suddenly you can’t feel His presence, hear His voice, or make sense of the season you’re in.

In this episode of The Leader's Cut, Preston sits down with ministry leader, author, and founder of Confident Women Co., Amanda Pittman. Amanda opens up about navigating a heavy "dark night of the soul"—a disorienting season that hit right after an extraordinary move of God.

Together, Preston and Amanda pull back the curtain on how the enemy operates in times of isolation, spiritual fatigue, and waiting. They unpack why scaling back your faith is a dangerous trap, how to go on the offensive when under attack, and why turning the "lights on" by inviting trusted community into your struggle is the key to breaking the enemy’s power.

INSIDE THIS EPISODE:

The Aftermath of Mountaintop Moments: What to do when you leave a season of revival feeling completely depleted and spiritually numb.

Defeating the Lie of Obscurity: Why the enemy tries to convince you that your faithfulness doesn't matter—and how to fight back using the power of remembrance.

Flipping the Lights On: How keeping silent prolongs spiritual attack, and why vulnerability with godly community is a lethal weapon against the enemy.

Misinterpreting the Vision: Why you shouldn't assume step one is supposed to look like step 100, and how to get God's direct interpretation for the promise He gave you.

The Cure for Heartbreak: Why scaling back your expectations won't protect your heart—and why your soul heals when you dare to believe God again.

If you feel like you've been fighting in the dark, wondering why things aren't matching the vision God gave you, this episode will re-arm you for battle and remind you that God is not finished with you yet.

Are you in a season where you're frustrated because you thought you’d be further by now? You thought things would be different, and the harvest you’ve been praying for still hasn't arrived.

In this powerful episode of The Leader's Cut, Preston Morrison dives deep into a subject he feels he has earned his doctorate in — the essential, supernatural power of the plow. While the rest of the world is obsessed with the harvest and the blessings, Preston unpacks why God’s most trusted people must first become people of the plow.

A plowing season is not a storm. It is marked by crushing, difficult conditions where everything seems harder than it should be, takes longer than it needs to, and is met with intense spiritual warfare. But plowing is not divine punishment. If God has handed you a plow, it is a divine compliment.

INSIDE THIS EPISODE:

The 7 Principles of the Plow: Why everyone wants to talk about the harvest, but God wants to talk about the preparation.

The 4 Types of Fields: Understanding the difference between pavement, potential, already plowed, and plentiful fields.

Why Plowing is Hard : How to stop blaming yourself when things take longer than they should, and why plowing doesn't bring immediate fruit, it makes room for it.

Never Plow with a Donkey: Unpacking the shocking command of Deuteronomy 22:10 and why you must never team up with talkers who want the harvest without the work.

The Trap of Other Fields: Why looking at other people's path will ruin your straight lines.

Plowing Your Heart vs. Plowing Your Field: The ultimate danger of stepping into a massive harvest with a heart you never allow God to break up and prune.

If you are tired of struggling through "pavement" seasons, tempted to look at other fields, or wondering when the pain of the grind will end, this episode is your urgent reminder to keep your hand on the plow.
