The Leader’s Cut with Preston Morrison – Details, episodes & analysis

In this lifetime, pain is inevitable, but it’s not always easy to understand why it happens. If God loves us, why must we experience pain? Why is pain inescapable? Why is pain necessary? What are the dangers of pain? And what steps can we take towards healing our pain?

Because we live in a fallen world, it’s inevitable, at some point in our lifetime we all experience hurt. The impact and lasting effects of hurt all depend on how we handle and see the purpose in it all. Why do things happen a certain way? Where is God in the midst of it? What is He doing? Why must we go through this? And ultimately, how can we be healed?

As we walk out the call of God on our life, it’s crucial that we walk step in step with Him. But what does that look like practically? How do we have patience throughout the process? And what can happen when we lean into Him in FULL obedience?

In this life, we all encounter temptation, and giving in to it can lead us down a slippery slope of sin. However, the more we learn to identify and respond to it when it arises, the more we can walk in a life aligned with God. As we explore the story of David and Bathsheba, there are crucial lessons to uncover about temptation, sin, and redemption. When does temptation typically happen? What happens AFTER it happens? And what can HE do about what we’ve already done?

“Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind…”

We tend to focus on the first two, but what about the third? Our brain drives everything we think, say, or do — how well do YOU know your brain?

Preston sits down with Dr. Daniel Amen, a pioneer in the field of brain health and psychiatry to discuss why understanding your brain is crucial for personal growth, mental health, and our spiritual well-being. Dr. Amen shares insights into the five brain types, the intersection of faith and science, practical strategies to enhance your brain health and what could actually happen if we all started talking our brain health seriously.

At some point in life, we all face setbacks. Whether it's losing a job, the end of a relationship, or unmet expectations in a situation we were hopeful about, these 'two steps back' moments are inevitable. But how we handle these setbacks is crucial to our future progress. If approached in the right way, they have the potential to propel us forward into success. So, how do you get there? What steps do you take? And how can you turn 'two steps back' into ten steps forward?

Your life is shaped by experiences. Your story is shaped by how you respond to them -- and when you get a glimpse of how everything fits into God's plan and purpose for your life, everything changes. But how do you get there? What must you do? And what breakthroughs can happen when you shift your perspective?

As children of God, we are all given assignments throughout our walk with Him. But some of them can be more difficult than others. So what do we do when God hands over a hard assignment? How do we navigate through it? Who do we bring into it? And how do we embrace His process, even through the difficult or 'not yet' seasons?

Criticism is a vital aspect of personal and professional growth, but its impact is dependent on how we actually receive and give it. But to truly do it in a healthy way, we have to first be a healthy human. So how do we get there? What is required for us to be able to grow from criticism? And what does “healthy criticism” even look like?

At some point in our lives, we all encounter rejection — but it’s how we process and deal with it that determines how it impacts our life. How do we know if we’re dealing with a root of rejection? How did Jesus handle rejection? And how do you heal from rejection?
