The Leader’s Cut with Preston Morrison Wisely Embracing The Cost Of Consecration
A call to reclaim set-apart living and raise the bar for holiness in everyday faith. A look at why opposition can signal obedience and how God, not you, defines life boundaries. A provocative reminder that every believer is a priest called to be with God, bring what He asks, and offer costly, personal sacrifice rather than flashy gifts.

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.
