The world is more than just the planet we live on; it is a system designed by the enemy to oppose everything God wants to do in your life. It is a value system that intentionally excludes your Creator, and if you aren’t careful, it will feel like you’re trying to breathe underwater without oxygen.

In this episode, Preston Morrison exposes the enemy’s three-part playbook—a strategy so predictable that it was used in the Garden of Eden, against Jesus in the wilderness, and is being used against you right now. If you want to experience a dominant year, you have to learn how to identify these traps and set fire to the playbook before the enemy can run his next play.

In this conversation, we’re tearing down the three biggest obstacles to your victory:

• The Trap of Godly Appetites: Hunger, thirst, and desire are gifts from God, but the enemy wants you to satisfy them in ungodly ways. We discuss why the "easy way" is always the most expensive way, and how satisfying a good desire the wrong way can cost you more than you can afford to pay.
• The Power of the Look: There is a massive difference between seeing something and looking at it. We explore why your eyes are the lamp of your body and how to navigate a world filled with landmines by keeping your eyes fixed on the only One who knows where they’re buried.
• The Pride of Life: Satan’s favorite weapon is the overconfidence that makes you forget you are dependent on God. We break down the danger of bragging on yourself and why boasting in the Lord is actually a painful reminder to your enemy of who is backing you up.
• Survival Equipment: If the world isn't our natural habitat, how are we still standing? We talk about the special equipment every believer has—the Holy Spirit—and why He is the reason you’ve already won the victory.

It’s time to stop being ignorant of the enemy’s devices and start operating in the dominance you were created for.

Are you living out a name you didn't choose? What if the identity you’ve been carrying for years isn't actually yours?

Most of us carry "labels,” names given to us by people in seasons of pain, by a past we can't change, or by a world that only sees our mistakes. In this episode of The Leader's Cut, we dive into the life-changing stories of Jacob and Benjamin to discover how God overrules the labels of the world to give us a new identity.

In this episode, we’re uncovering:

• The Ben-oni Trap: Why we often default to the labels given to us in our darkest moments, and the danger of letting your past define your future.
• The Father’s Overruling: When God steps into your story to change your name from "victim" to "victor."
• The Limp of Identity: Why Jacob had to lose a wrestle to gain a name—and why your greatest struggle might be the very thing that reveals who you truly are.
• The Final Word: How to stop answering to a name that God never called you. Your identity isn't something you create; it’s something you receive from the One who created you.

Are you ready to drop the labels? Join us as we explore how to step into the strength of who He says you are.

For too long, we’ve acted like "consecration" and "holiness" are terms reserved for the spiritual elite. We’ve lowered the bar of what it means to be a Christ-follower so much that we’ve forgotten what it looks like to be truly set apart. In this episode, we’re diving into the "romantic" side of consecration—the idea that God doesn’t want you to set yourself apart to earn His love, but as a response to the fact that you already have it.

In this conversation, we’re pulling back the curtain on:

• The Big Myth Of Consecration: Why the call to be holy isn’t just for people with a title of ‘pastor’, and why thinking that way is keeping you from your greatest purpose.
• The Danger of Your Own Playbook: Who sets the boundaries in your life? If you’re the one deciding how far is "too far," you might be setting yourself up for the very attacks you’re praying to avoid.
• Your Secret Identity: We reveal the massive biblical truth that you aren't just a "partaker"—you are a priest. We explore what it actually means to minister to God before you ever try to do anything for Him.
• Gift vs. Sacrifice: Why God isn't looking for your extravagant gifts, but for the one thing that actually costs you something.

If you’ve felt like you’re just going through the motions or that your spiritual lens has gotten "dirty," this episode is a call to come back to the altar. It’s time to stop setting your own rules and start living in the power that only comes from a life set apart.
