  When The Enemy Attacks (with Amanda Pittman) 23.07.2026 1t 9min

  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.

  The 7 Principles Of Plowing (And Why Plowing Is Actually A Compliment) 16.07.2026 56min

  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.

  How to Stay Consistent (Even When You Don't Feel Like It) with Carly Patterson Caldwell 09.07.2026 1t 4min

  "You train your body for the games and you're training for a crown that doesn't last. The fame, money, recognition, opportunities... none of it is actually fulfilling." — Carly Patterson Caldwell What happens when you achieve everything the world tells you to chase, only to realize the prize doesn’t satisfy? In this episode of The Leader's Cut, Preston sits down with Olympic All-Around Gymnastics Gold Medalist Carly Patterson Caldwell. At just 16 years old, Carly stood on top of the world podium, carrying the expectations of millions. But behind the gold medals and effortless routines was a grueling education in consistency, failure, and preparation. Carly shares the raw reality of training hours every week, surviving "come-to-Jesus" moments with her coach, and tuning out the massive distractions of a normal teenager to pursue a single goal. Also in this deeply vulnerable conversation, she pulls back the curtain on her grueling journey through infertility. After spending a lifetime training her body to do exactly what she commanded, Carly found herself in a place where she was 100% out of control. Whether you are fighting to stay disciplined in the mundane, facing the taunts of the enemy in a season of waiting, or struggling under the crushing pressure of expectations, this conversation is a vital blueprint for running a race that actually matters. INSIDE THIS EPISODE: The Spark at Six Years Old: How God planted an immediate, unshakeable passion inside a young girl. A Doctorate in Consistency: Carly breaks down why consistency is inherently boring, unglamorous, and absolutely necessary to reach the top. The "Come-To-Jesus" Meeting: The critical turning point six months before the Olympic Games when Carly had to choose between normal teenage distractions and ultimate dedication. Crushing Expectations: How to handle the intense weight of people's expectations without letting them crumble your identity.

  What if your greatest spiritual battles aren't actually an attack from the enemy, but an agreement you made with your own flesh? In this episode of The Leader's Cut, Preston sits down with Tim Ross for a conversation that cuts straight to the bone. We love to blame the devil for our exhaustion, our burnout, and our failures. But the uncomfortable question we must ask ourself is — Are we rolling out the red carpet for him? First Peter 5:8 warns that the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. He is looking for the easiest, most compromised targets. In this episode, Tim breaks down how our lack of natural disciplines, unmanaged appetites, and self-induced exhaustion are making the enemy's job borderline impossible to fail. If you are tired of feeling defeated, overwhelmed, and completely drained, it’s time to stop blaming the unseen realm and start slamming the door shut on your own flesh. INSIDE THIS EPISODE: The Blueprint of Devouring: Tim unpacks the terrifying, literal definition of what it means to be "devoured" by a python spirit that doesn't just want a bite—it wants to swallow your entire life whole.

The Esau Compromise: How an unmanaged physical appetite or exhaustion will make you subconsciously stand before your life and trade away a divine birthright for temporary comfort.

If you're ready for the knife of heaven to cut away the excuses and give you a real plan of attack to walk in true victory, this episode is your wake-up call.

But his greatest transition didn't happen on the field—it happened in his heart. In this transparent conversation, DeMarcus opens up about moving past a surface-level belief into a life of total surrender, finding his true identity outside of football, and stepping boldly into his new, divine assignment.

  The Place Where Real Battles Are Won (with Brenda Palmer) 11.06.2026 1t 6min

  We tend to think the “stage” is where we do the most damage to the enemy. But the truth is, the hidden 'cave' is where the real wars are actually won. In this episode of The Leader’s Cut, Preston Morrison sits down with Brenda Palmer for a raw, unfiltered conversation about what happens when you willingly submit to the hidden seasons with God. Together, they dive deep into the mystery of "the cave"—the quiet, intentional space of intimate fellowship with the King where our rough edges are ground off and our flesh is put to death. In a culture obsessed with self-promotion and digital noise, Brenda and Preston don't hold back on where the modern church is dropping the ball. From social media distractions to a devastating lack of deep prayer, they address a holy disruption happening in the earth: a new generation is arising, and they want the true, express glory of God. In this conversation, they explore: The Anatomy of the Cave: Why the hidden place is a non-negotiable requirement for killing your flesh, and how the cave acts as the ultimate litmus test for evaluating people in your life. Fumbling the Bag: A candid look at how modern media trains leaders to talk about themselves rather than pointing people to the Lamb. The Power of The Whisper: Why the quietest, closest prayers are often the most lethal spiritual weapons you can wield. Reclaiming the House of Prayer: Why the Church's inability to satisfy a hungry generation stems from being completely "un-prayed up", and how to realign your daily rhythm around radical, constant dependence on God. This is a direct confrontation to our modern ideas of ministry and influence. It’s a call to return to the secret place where real power is forged. It’s time to settle into the cave.

  Why Your Story Is A MAJOR Threat To the Enemy (with Tim Ross) 04.06.2026 1t 25min

  Most people treat their past like a liability—something to be hidden away or ‘cleaned up’ before it can ever be useful. But what if parts of your story are actually the keys to someone else’s breakthrough? In this episode of The Leader’s Cut, Preston Morrison is joined by his "twin," Tim Ross, for a raw conversation about the untapped power of the testimony. We’re moving past the religious idea of "sharing a story" and getting into the gritty reality of why truth-telling is a literal weapon in the hands of a believer. Tim and Preston explore the idea that the enemy’s primary goal isn't just to make you mess up—it’s to keep you quiet about how you got back up. They discuss why the world doesn't need another polished movement or a clever hashtag, but a genuine move of people who are brave enough to let the redeemed of the Lord "say so!" For anyone who has felt like their history is a disqualification, this conversation is a reminder that your mess is often the exact bridge someone else needs to cross over into their own healing. In this conversation, we’ll explore: The Silence Trap: Why the enemy desperately wants you to keep your story a secret and how that silence fuels the cycle of shame. The Spirit of Prophecy: Understanding the biblical weight of your testimony and why your history is actually a roadmap for someone else’s future. Beyond the Hashtag: Why genuine transformation doesn't require a PR campaign, but a simple, honest declaration of what God has done. Vulnerability as Power: Why the most influential thing you can do is stop pretending you have it all together and start telling the truth. The Testimony Tsunami: How one person’s decision to be honest can trigger a chain reaction of freedom for everyone around them. This is an invitation to stop hiding and start weaponizing your history. Say so!

The unpack the lies that keeps most people from ever experiencing true freedom, and move past the superficial to explore what it actually looks like to be refined by the Spirit of God in the places no one else sees. Matt pulls back the curtain on the subtle but dangerous shift that happens when we stop following Jesus as Lord and start treating Him like an messenger for our own comfort. If the goal of life has become an endless cycle of upgrades and ease, this conversation serves as a necessary reset.

  I Need Your Help BIG Time : It’s Time To Light This Fuse 21.05.2026 58min

  Ok…I am giving you a heavy, high-stakes tactical assignment. I need your help BIG time, because by the end of this episode, we’re calling for a coordinated, global counter-strike. There is a massive wave of cultural opposition and fear heading our way, and one of the enemy's top strategies is spiritual amnesia. He wants us to forget the miracles of yesterday so we panic about the battles of tomorrow. But there is a counter-offensive, let’s talk about it… In this episode of The Leader’s Cut, Preston Morrison pulls back the curtain on the power of memorial pillars. This is a strategic roadmap for taking ground back from the enemy. We are unpacking the exact mechanics of driving a prophetic stake into the earth, because if you don't boldly declare the spaces where God has moved, the enemy will step in to hijack them. In this episode, we are unpacking what lights the fuse : The Antidote to Fear: Why a physical declaration of "God did that" is your only active defense against the rampant dread the enemy is trying to unleash on our culture. The Amnesia Trap: How comfort causes us to secretly believe our hand did that, and why the "Humility Protocol" keeps us radically dependent on the Spirit. The Turf War: Learn why the enemy aggressively tries to turn your places of encounter into houses of wickedness, and how a prophetic stake in the ground reclaims the territory. The Identity Protocol: How God takes Jacob back to the scene of his deepest family trauma, not to punish him, but to completely rename, refine, and redefine him. This isn’t just an invitation to watch or listen to another episode; we’re asking you to partner in a physical act of obedience that covers the earth with testimonies of God's power. It’s time to stop letting the enemy hijack holy ground. Saddle up. It’s time to light this fuse.   **If you’re committing to placing a memorial pillar, send us a quick summary of where you left your rock and why. Let’s track the territory we reclaim together!**

  When God’s Request Seems “Crazy” 14.05.2026 58min

  Be honest: If God told you the way to save your business or your marriage was to walk in circles and then yell at a wall... would you do it? Or would you start looking for a better 'strategy'? We love the idea of victory, but we usually hate the instructions required to get there. We want the walls to fall, but we want them to fall in a way that makes sense to our logic. But as we see in the story of Jericho, God isn't looking for a great strategist—He’s looking for someone who knows how to take orders and be obedient. In this episode of The Leader’s Cut, Preston Morrison is digging into the "Jericho Roadmap." We’re talking about the gritty, high-stakes reality of what happens when you stop asking God to come alongside your plan and start realizing that He is the Commander of His own. If you’ve been feeling like you’re fighting a losing battle, it might be because you’re still trying to be the one in control. We’re breaking down the mechanics of spiritual victory, including: The Fear Paradox: Why the enemy is actually afraid while you’re busy being afraid of him. The Command of Courage: Why ‘Do Not Be Afraid’ isn't a suggestion—it's an order. When God Shows Up: The wild moment Joshua realized God didn't come to "help" him—He came to take over. The "Crazy" Test: Why your next breakthrough is probably hidden behind an act of obedience that makes zero sense to your flesh. The Achan Warning: Why one small, hidden compromise can freeze the progress of an entire army. Victory isn't something you win; it’s something you receive through a level of obedient faith that most people will never understand. Are you ready for the walls to come down?

  Breaking The Silence : Where TRUE Healing Begins (with Tim Ross) 07.05.2026 1t 33min

  Let’s be honest — Most of us aren’t actually moving forward. We’re just running away from things that happened years ago, hoping that if we go fast enough, the past won't catch up. We’ve all heard the advice to "just let it go" or "give it to God," but if it were that easy, why are we still so exhausted? Why does that one mistake from a decade ago still have the power to ruin your Tuesday morning? In this episode of The Leader’s Cut, Preston Morrison and Tim Ross are getting back into the gritty reality of what it actually takes to find your "Missing Peace." This isn't a conversation about surface-level "happiness"—it's a deep dive into the parts of your soul you’ve been trying to ignore. If you feel like you’re just surviving your life instead of living it, it’s time for a reality check. The Holy Spirit wants to do more than just comfort you; He wants to cut away the trauma that has been making your decisions for you. We’re talking about the stuff nobody wants to talk about, including: * The Inner Critic’s Real Identity: Who is that voice in your head that’s constantly bothered by your mistakes? (Hint: It’s not God, and it’s not just "you.") * Emotional Indigestion: Why the things you refuse to process are currently defining your future. * The Biology of Peace: How to move the peace of Jesus from a "concept" in your head to a "regulation" in your actual nervous system. * Why You’re Not "Here": The real reason you find it impossible to be present with the people you love. * The Trap of Self-Awareness: Why knowing you have a problem isn’t the same thing as letting Him cut it out. You can keep running, or you can stop and finally metabolize what’s been chasing you. It’s time to stop letting start walking in the peace you were actually designed for. This is where true healing begins.

  The Principles Of God’s Process (with Jabin Chavez) 30.04.2026 1t 17min

  Most of us are trying to force a harvest in a season that was meant for pruning. We claim to want the Promised Land, but we’re doing everything in our power to skip the wilderness. We want the fruit, but we’re terrified of the shears. In this episode of The Leader’s Cut, Preston Morrison sits down with Jabin Chavez (Lead Pastor of City Light Church, Las Vegas) to discuss the divine mechanics of the wilderness. We have become experts at producing results faster than God intended, creating "Ishmaels" because we aren't patient enough to wait for an "Isaac." But the principles of God's process are clear: if your character doesn't grow at the same rate as your capacity, your calling will eventually crush you. In this conversation, we’re breaking down the anatomy of God's process: The Worshiper vs. The Warrior: Why your public influence is only as sustainable as your private devotion. The "Arm of the Flesh" Trap: Understanding why the flesh is always faster, but only the Spirit produces a promise that lasts. Don’t Move Without a Word: Why you should never do anything until you have first have God's word for that season. Success vs. Survival: How to protect your soul when the world’s goalposts of success won't stop shifting. The Math of the Kingdom: Why "subtraction" is almost always the prerequisite for the multiplication you’ve been praying for. If you feel like you’re stuck in a "slow" season or a dark valley, stop trying to find the exit. This is a deep-dive into the heart of being a living sacrifice. God isn't ignoring you—He's just making sure you're ready for what’s next.

  What Faith REALLY Requires 23.04.2026 47min

  Oftentimes, we claim to live by faith, but most of us won't take a single step without a five-year plan and a guaranteed outcome.   The greatest enemy of your faith isn't necessarily the devil—it’s your demand for predictability. We say we want to follow God into the unknown, but the moment the "wilderness" gets uncomfortable, we start looking for the old ways of Egypt. Let’s talk about what faith REALLY requires...   In this episode of The Leader’s Cut, Preston Morrison exposes the idol of predictability that has taken up residence in the church today. If the Holy Spirit is going to lead you into the promise, He first has to cut away your addiction to a map. This isn't just about "believing" for things; it’s about the daily work of walking with a God who only gives enough manna for today.   In this conversation, we’re breaking down the actual anatomy of faith: Why our fear of the unknown turns our desire for "safety" into an idol that keeps us stuck in spiritual slavery. Understanding what a life of faith actually requires. Why walking by faith isn't a passive wait—it's a partnership. Why God purposely keeps the full plan from you.   This isn’t a pep talk about "having more faith." It’s a call to tear down the idol of control and start walking in close fellowship with the only One who actually knows what tomorrow brings.

  How To Find Peace Amidst The Chaos (with Tim Ross) 16.04.2026 1t 39min

  "Are you actually okay?” Most of us have a "Missing Peace" in our lives that we try to fill with everything except the Source. We reach for the promotion, the new house, the hobby, or even a more "spiritual" playlist, hoping the emptiness will finally stop humming in the background. But what if the reason you’re still exhausted isn't because you aren't trying hard enough—but because you’re trying to heal what you refuse to reveal? In this episode of The Leader’s Cut, Preston Morrison is joined by Tim Ross to drop a major reality check on the state of our souls. We’re moving past the "just pray about it" platitudes to talk about the spiritual mechanics of peace. If the Holy Spirit is guiding our lives, then peace isn’t just a feeling; it’s a regulation of your entire being—body, soul, and spirit. This conversation gets into the stuff we usually keep quiet: * The "Fix" Fallacy: Why your coping mechanisms (from video games to "religious" busyness) are actually sending a personal invitation for the enemy to keep you stuck. * The Revelation Requirement: Why the Holy Spirit can't cut away the pain you're still trying to hide. * Body Regulation: The wild truth about how the peace Jesus left you is designed to regulate your physical and emotional responses to a chaotic world. * Moving the Goalposts: Why Jesus didn't save you so you could just "survive" your life—and how to finally start thriving in the freedom He actually paid for. This isn't a lecture on "how to be happier." It's a deep dive into the process of heart-circumcision that leads to true, unshakable freedom. It’s time to stop settling for temporary happiness and start walking in the peace you were created for.

  How Do I Navigate Spiritual Warfare? 09.04.2026 46min

  "The enemy doesn't need to win a massive battle if he can just get you to leave the door unlocked." "The enemy doesn't need to win a massive battle if he can just get you to leave the door unlocked." Most of us view spiritual warfare as a series of spooky events, but the reality is much more subtle—and much more personal. We often find ourselves in a cycle of either obsessing over the enemy or ignoring him entirely, while all the while, the "flesh" is leaving doors wide open for him to rent real estate in our hearts. In this episode of The Leader’s Cut, Preston Morrison pulls back the curtain on the spiritual mechanics of navigating spiritual warfare. If we want the Holy Spirit to move freely, we have to allow Him to cut away the habits and footholds that give the enemy a seat at our table. In this conversation, we’re breaking down: The Obsession Trap: Why constantly blaming the enemy for every inconvenience is actually a personal invitation for him to stay. Open Doors & Footholds: Identifying the one thing about yourself you least want to admit—and why that secret might be the longest-standing open door in your life. The Enemy’s Notes on You: How to understand the specific angles and triggers the adversary uses against your unique personality and history. Don't Fight Fair: Why trying to resist the enemy on his terms is a losing strategy, and how to practice divine annoyance by doing exactly what he hates most. The Prayer Intercept: Understanding what is happening in the unseen realm when it feels like your requests are being blocked. This isn’t about being afraid; it’s about being aware. It’s time to stop fighting the wrong battles and start closing the doors that were never meant to be open.

  Knowing Your Talents And How To Use Them (with Kristy Bach) 02.04.2026 1t 9min

  "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.

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!

  Keys to Staying in the Fight (When You’re Ready To Give Up) 26.03.2026 55min

  "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.

  The Truth About Marriage : The ONE THING Marriage Requires (with Tim Ross) 19.03.2026 1t 22min

  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.

  Are These People In Your Life? : 5 Essential Relationships You Need 12.03.2026 1t 20min

  "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.
