The Leader’s Cut with Preston Morrison

"God didn't make you with a cookie-cutter template. So why are you spending so much energy trying to fit into everyone else's mold?"

We spend so much of our lives trying to close our "skill gaps" and fix our weaknesses. We look at the people around us, compare our natural wiring to theirs, and try to force ourselves to operate in lanes we were never anointed for. But what if the key to your purpose isn't becoming someone new, but finally discovering how you were actually designed to be by God?

In this episode of The Leader’s Cut, Preston Morrison sits down with Kristy Bach, President of Know Your Talents. Kristy's firm has spent over two decades helping companies get to the root of what makes people tick. But in this conversation, we are taking those high-level behavioral concepts and turning the mirror on you.

It's time to unlock your "behavioral foundation" and see how God answers the four deepest questions of your heart. In this conversation, we’ll cover:

How to uncover your unique "behavioral DNA"—identifying your true strengths, stressors, and motivators rather than operating in someone else's image.

Why acknowledging your natural limitations isn't a sign of weakness, but the secret to unlocking your real potential.

Understanding your specific voice and contribution, and how to confidently bring that to your family, your community, and your calling.

Moving past the grind to find strategic alignment between how God wired you and where He is calling you to go.

This isn’t just a guide on how to be a better boss or coworker. It’s a reality check for anyone who feels stuck, exhausted, or wondering if they have anything significant to contribute. Your personality isn't a problem to be solved; it's a design to be deployed. It's time to find out what makes you great!

"The enemy isn’t just watching your struggle—he’s banking on it."

Most of us view frustration as a sign of spiritual failure. We think that if we were "holy" enough, we wouldn’t feel the weight, the exhaustion, or the urge to just walk away. But what if the very thing you’re trying to hide from God is actually the key to your intimacy with Him?

In this episode of The Leader’s Cut, Preston gets incredibly honest about the internal flesh that tries to convince us to quit. We’re moving past the clichés to look at the spiritual mechanics of perseverance. It’s time to stop letting the enemy celebrate your burnout and start allowing the Holy Spirit to cut away the reactions and habits that are draining your tank.

In this conversation, we’re breaking down:

Normalizing Frustration: Why intimacy with God requires a level of honesty most of us are too scared to bring to the altar.

Friendly Fire: How your flesh tries to turn your closest allies into enemies when you’re under pressure (and how to stop the cycle).

Filling Your Tank: Understanding that God created you with needs, and why ignoring your fuel level is a recipe for a crash.

Spiritual Metabolism: Why starving yourself spiritually leads to a lack of muscle when the fight actually gets intense.

The Enemy’s Downfall: The specific reason your enemy wants you to quit, and why God loves nothing more than humiliating him through your victory.

This isn’t a pep talk, it’s a reality check for the believer who is ready to give up. The enemy wants you to quit, but God has provided the keys to help you outlast the attack.

It’s time to stop fighting your allies and start shaming your enemy.

We’ve been told that marriage is the "happily ever after"— the place where your needs finally get met and the struggle finally ends. But what if that’s the very lie that’s killing your relationship?

Most people spend their lives looking for a "soulmate" to complete them, but they aren't ready for a covenant that’s designed to... well, kill them.

In this episode of The Leader’s Cut, Preston Morrison and Tim Ross are dropping the filter. They’re moving past the typical romantic clichés to talk about the one thing no one puts on the wedding invitation: the brutal, beautiful requirement to die to yourself every single day. Whether you’re married or want to be married one day, this conversation is for you.

We’re diving into the stuff most people avoid:

Why being "right" is actually the most expensive thing you can chase in your house (and how it’s currently suffocating your connection).

Why your "individuality" might be the very thing standing in the way of the marriage you actually want.

What happens to the atmosphere of your home when you finally choose sacrifice over self-preservation.

Why marriage is designed to expose your deepest flaws—and why that’s actually the best news for your growth.

This isn’t a date night manual, it’s a reality check. It’s time to stop treating your marriage like a contract and start carrying it like a cross.

"The fastest way to wreck your calling is to try and carry it all by yourself."

If you’re honest, you’ve probably felt it: that creeping suspicion that the weight of it all is starting to crush you. Most try to solve this by working harder, staying later, or "grinding" through the wilderness. But here’s the reality—you can’t "out-grind" a lack of people in your life.

If God has called you to go somewhere you’ve never been, He has also called a specific circle of people to get you there.

In this episode, we’re looking at five distinct archetypes from the Bible that everybody needs, no matter what stage of life you’re in. We’re not talking about just "friends" or “co-workers.” We’re talking about specific, strategic relationships that define the difference between a crash and a victory lap.

In this conversation, we’re breaking down:

Why you need someone who knows the path better than you do (and why your attitude might be stopping them from helping).

How to find the person who can handle the parts of your vision that you’re honestly not anointed for.

The person who doesn't care about your platform—they only care about your soul.

Why a lack of "courageous correction" in your life is the greatest threat to your destiny.

How to identify the peer who is ready to step into the ring when you’re too exhausted to swing.

The problem? You can’t attract these people if you aren’t willing to pay the Kingdom price of admission.

You weren't meant to do it all by yourself. It’s time to stop fighting alone and start building the circle that sustains the call.

"Sometimes we have to get stronger by getting a little bit smaller."

In this episode of The Leader’s Cut, Preston Morrison sits down with Landon McDonald, Senior Pastor of Mission Church in Gilbert, AZ, for a high-level conversation on The Church of today. They breakdown the protocols of spiritual authority, the necessity of the "secret place," the dangerous rise of performative Christianity, and balancing "Word and Spirit" in a way that carries real weight.

Together, they explore why the next generation is rejecting "BS Christianity" and instead chasing a root system that can survive any drought.

This conversation covers:

The Disease of Performance: Why "performed spirituality" before inward spirituality is the greatest threat to modern leadership.

The Field of Anonymity: The vital importance of being "impossible to find" in the secret place before you are ever asked to stand on a “stage.”

It's God-Breathed: Reclaiming a deep, visceral respect for the Theopneustos nature of the Word.

A Mandate for the Word: How to teach from a place of spiritual reservoir.

The "No BS" Generation: Why today’s youth are looking for orthodox truth over reckless verbiage.
