Are you constantly exhausted, running on empty, or just can't seem to find real rest? What if the answer isn't "more" but simply remembering "It's The Holiest Day Of The Week"? This week on The Leader's Cut, Preston Morrison tackles a divine command often misunderstood and overlooked: the Sabbath. Many of us are unknowingly ignoring the Sabbath, living in a cycle of busyness that keeps us from the profound peace God designed. But why don't we embrace this gift more fully? Is it just another religious "do not," or is it something far more intentional, intimate, and powerful? Preston unpacks why this ancient practice is incredibly relevant for your life today, revealing three surprising reasons God gave us the Sabbath. Get ready to challenge your assumptions about work, rest, and control, as you discover how truly observing this day can transform your entire week – and your walk with God. You'll discover: Why the Sabbath is God's secret weapon against burnout and anxiety. How to work smarter in six days to protect the seventh. Crucial ways to safeguard your rest right within your own home. The surprising reason why most people can't rest, and how to finally break free.

Are you longing for true change, but constantly feel stuck or confused about how to get there? Do you wonder why God seems distant in certain seasons? This week on The Leader's Cut, Preston Morrison is joined by Megan Fate Marshman for a profound conversation on how God truly changes you. We often seek transformation on the mountaintop, but Preston and Megan reveal the surprising truth: God's most powerful work often happens in the valleys, in moments of "desolation," and even in the times you don't expect it. This episode offers a radical reframing of how the Spirit works to reshape your heart, revealing His kindness — even in the "cutting out" process. You'll learn: Why chasing feelings can lead you away from God, & how to embrace His presence in every season. The profound power of "consolation" and "desolation" in reorienting your desires. How God uses your "mess" and "rough edges" as a divine opportunity for deeper transformation. The crucial practice of opening your heart to God. Why the solution to your shame isn't hiding, but bravely exposing your whole self to His perfect love. If you've ever felt like something was "wrong" with you during a dry spiritual season, or struggled to bridge the gap between your behavior and your heart's desires, this episode is for you. Learn to run towards God's refining work, not away from it, and step into the radiant life He designed for YOU!
This message is an invitation to pray bold prayers, expect God to move, and welcome the Holy Spirit into every part of your life. If you've ever wondered how to pray or if your prayers matter this is for you. Prayer isn't reserved for the super spiritual it's for anyone willing to ask, seek, and knock. God responds to shameless persistence. He fills the earth with power when His people pray.
In a culture obsessed with self-discovery, the pursuit of "finding yourself" often leads to more confusion than clarity. Preston Morrison, Senior Pastor of Pillar Church and host of The Leader's Cut, challenges this narrative by exposing the misconceptions that keep us spiritually immature. He delves into how pride creates distance and separation, the pain inherent in midlife transitions, and the transformative power of embracing life's wilderness seasons.

We were created with a purpose to bring pleasure to God. Scripture tells us that He delights in all He has made and finds joy when we walk closely with Him. This message explores what it means to truly live a life that pleases God. From believing in His Son, to being led by His Spirit, to walking in faith, obedience, and sacrificial worship each step draws us deeper into alignment with His heart. Whether you're just beginning your faith journey or you've been walking with Jesus for years, this teaching is a reminder that God's pleasure isn't found in performance but in relationship. Let this message inspire you to live with intentionality, knowing that your life can bring joy to the One who created you.
Money isn't just a financial issue it's a heart issue. In this message, we explore why many of us struggle to steward money biblically: because no one taught us, because it's how we cope with stress, and because money has become an idol. Scripture gives us a better way: Put God first, keep the Kingdom 2nd , prioritize your needs 3rd, meet the needs of others 4th , plan for the future 5th, and address your wants last. As Matthew 6:21 reminds us, where our treasure is, there our heart will be also. This is a battle Satan loves but your heart is worth fighting for.
Why don't we pray and praise more often? Maybe it's because we wonder if God is even listening. Maybe we've grown weary of waiting or disappointed when things don't go the way we hoped. But in this message, we're reminded that even in the darkest seasons when it feels like we're in a prison, worship is still a powerful weapon.We learn how to romantically remember what God has done, sarcastically celebrate what He's doing, demonstratively declare who He is, annoyingly remind the enemy of what He's capable of, and unapologetically rejoice in the Lord no matter the circumstance!

From the burning bush to prophetic promises, Scripture reveals a divine pattern. God calls Himself the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob - three generations working in harmony.

“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.” (Matthew 5:14-16 NKJV) As believers, we're called to live fully in that light protecting it, growing it, and letting it shine so brightly that it becomes a floodlight for the world around us. Before light comes, there is darkness -- but through salvation, the light of Christ invades the darkness and transforms us from the inside out. So how do we protect the light? And how do we let it radiate from the inside of us?
On Easter Sunday, Preston Morrison breaks down “How Jesus Restored Friendship With God.” Since the garden, sin created a separation between us and God. But on the cross, Jesus bridged the gap once and for all — and one of the primary reasons He did it may surprise you — He desires to be intimately connected to His best friend — YOU!

In a world constantly pushing us to chase more—more wealth, more success, more recognition—how do we find true peace and fulfillment and be content with what we have? What are the enemies of contentment? And what is the secret of contentment that unlocks the path that only God can unveil?

One of the easiest ways the enemy attacks is in isolation — but when we have community, we not only can combat attacks when they come, we get stronger. So what are the dangers of isolation?

Honesty is essential to becoming the person that God is calling you to be. We must be honest with God, we must be honest with others, and we must be honest with ourselves. So how honest are you --really? What lies are you currently believing? And what would it look like to begin living a more honest life?
Life in a fallen world guarantees that storms will come. The question is, do you have the peace to withstand them? How can we cultivate a life of peace no matter what storms come our way? Where does peace come from? And how can we practically increase our peace?
This next year, God wants to move in and through you in a way He never has before. The question is, do you have the energy and strength you need to pull it off? The Bible declares our bodies are a “temple of the Holy Spirit,” but if that is true, why don't we steward our bodies? Why should we steward our bodies? And ultimately, how do we steward our bodies?
The set apart life demands for you to be spiritually strong. And when we choose to not grow spiritually, we get stuck right where the enemy wants us — ineffective and unfruitful in The Kingdom. So how do we grow in strength? What is the proper way to grow? And what steps can we take to step towards the calling in which God wants us to walk in?
If we are to ready ourselves for God to move in a way like never before, we have to be careful that we don't open any new doors to the enemy. So how do we do that? We must consecrate ourselves before the Lord. But what does that look like? How do we set Biblical boundaries? What does this priestly mandate even have to do with us? And what does sacrifice look like when we choose the “set apart” life?
The #1 thing which makes the Christian life so difficult is not Satan, it is actually any door in a Christian's life which is open to Satan. Open doors can lead to strongholds, and strongholds can lead to bondages. But how do we know we have open doors? What is a stronghold? How are bondages built? And how do we tear down a stronghold?
In today's world, it's almost impossible to avoid politics, but as a Christian, how should we navigate the political landscape? How do we embrace biblical principals as we cast our votes? What does the Bible say about politics? And how do we tackle the most polarizing issues like Jesus?
God does not always ask for the most expensive thing; He frequently asks for the most excruciating thing — and as followers of Christ, He calls for us to bear our cross daily. While that may look different for each one of us, one thing is for certain: it will cost you. So how do you prepare for it? What if it's a direction you don't want to take? What if it's a decision you don't want to make? And what does it look like to die daily?
Scripture makes it clear — God wants to be known for generosity. And if that's HIS heart, why should it not be ours as well? What would it look like as believers, if we became famous for generosity? How do we practically care for those in need? And how can we reflect the heart of the Father in our everyday lives?
It's been said that burnout is not only a very real and present danger, but it has been estimated that over 60% of leaders will experience it. As the old saying goes, leadership can sometimes feel lonely. Prolonged seasons with heightened levels of stress, feeling unappreciated, and more can cause many leaders to grow tired, frustrated, and weary. However, I believe it's in these moments that many simply need to be encouraged, motivated, and reminded of their purpose and calling in this life. Thankfully today, we have the perfect guest to uplift and inspire you with biblical truths and an incredible amount of godly wisdom, Pastor Preston Morrison. Preston is the Senior Pastor of Pillar Church in Arizona which has given him the opportunity to walk out the call of leadership the Lord has placed on his life, all while serving alongside a dynamic staff, building a community that feels like family, and loving the people in the Valley of the Sun. He is also a self-proclaimed romantic—whether he's studying a way to communicate God's truth, pursuing his beautiful wife Holly or their three kids, or finding ways to bless the people in his life—he does it with a passion and love that are truly contagious. And above all else, Preston has a feverish desire and obsession with being a friend of God. Our prayer is that this episode would help you re-frame your perspective, find hope in the midst of patience, lean into an enhanced level of perseverance, and remember the purpose/calling God has called you to! Weary traveler, carry on. It won't be like this for long.

God doesn't want to be first, He IS first. The question is, do we make Him that in our lives? When it comes to tithing, the Bible is clear. So what is the tithe? Why do we tithe? And how does the way we see it change the way we see everything else?
If you don't understand that money is a tool, the enemy will use money in your life to turn you into his own personal tool. So how do we use this tool that God has entrusted us with? What are some practical ways we can use it to invest in our relationships? And how can we use it to invest in ourselves and the life God has created for us to live?
As believers, we must understand that spiritual warfare is real. And if a child of God does not understand they are a soldier at war, they are unknowingly living as a casualty of war. So then, how must we live in the midst of a fight? How do we recognize attacks from the enemy? How do we overcome darkness? And how can we partner with God through it all?
Understanding a biblical perspective of debt is crucial to living a healthy, Christian life. The effects of debt can not only handcuff what God wants to ultimately do through you, but if we don't get it under control, it can be crippling. So where does debt come from? How does God actually feel about debt? And if you're currently in debt, how do you get out of it?

Because we all have different experiences, we all see money in different ways. However, as believers in the body of Christ, the question is: how does God see money? What does the Bible say about it? And how can we better steward what God has placed in our hands once we grasp this new understanding?

When we take a true look at our sin through the eyes of God, it completely changes our perspective. We must ask ourselves: How do we see the sins of others? Why do we often fixate on the sins of others? How should we see our own sin? And most importantly, how does God see our sin?

Did you know that God can still speak to you and through you? He speaks in several ways, but one of the biggest ways is through the gift of prophecy — but prophecy is often misunderstood. Why do so many have concern over prophecy? Why are people offended by prophecy? And why would people ever NOT want a prophetic word?
It's one of the most untapped cheat codes in the Kingdom -- but it's also one of the most misunderstood. What does it truly mean to pray in the spirit? Where does it talk about tongues in the Bible? And by using it, how can we partner with the Holy Spirit to fight our enemy on a whole other level?
When you think of the Holy Spirit, do you think of Him as a friend? The fact is, whether you do or not, that is His ultimate desire. But how can we reframe our thinking to see Him that way? Why does He even want to be a friend? And what does it look like when we put our full trust in His direction for our lives?

Are you under a weight? Weight is heavy. Weight is a burden. Weight can be crushing. But, it's amazing how much weight can be lifted when we lift it up in prayer. This week, we take intentional time to pray over fours “weights” in life — the weight of worry, the weight of waiting, the weight of someone you love & the weight of wrestling.
