Finding Truth In Difficult Seasons | The Leader's Cut w/ Preston Morrison
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 кві 2024
- When we're going through a difficult season, life can seem upside down. Thoughts enter our mind that in a previous season, we would have never even entertained. No matter how we end up there, to get out of it, we must shift our perspective to navigate the lies. But how do we recognize it? What are some practical steps to combat it? And how can we bring God alongside to walk with us through it?

The Lord spoke to me through every syllable of this conversation. I’ve been struggling with this exact thing and I can’t tell you how grateful I am for this biblical and realistic perspective.Thank you for sharing your hearts and experiences and holding space for the Lord to speak to us through these conversations. Thank you thank you thank you🙏🏼
Same
This conversation is impactful - rejection is a word that’s attached to shame and condemnation but I love how Preston explained how God’s intention for not allowing it is God’s redirection to where and what He wants to call us to.
- recalibration: in His mercy God uses certain circumstances to recalibrate our perspective and worldview to align with His will so that we can learn how to be fully dependant on Him as The Source of everything we need to do what He assigns us to do.
Powerful insights in to how words can either propel us forward into freedom according to the truth of God’s word or bring us down into dark mindsets because of words that we allow the enemy to sow into our minds like ‘rejection’ or ‘not enough’ or ‘embarrassment/humiliation’. 🤯
Thank you for sharing this conversation 🙏🏽
Truthhhh. There is sooo much power in our words, His are always of love❤️❤️❤️
I’m in ministry. Going through a difficult season. Thanks for the real talk!❤
I'm half in half with the same season but I say this. Let me go into seminary school and one of the lies for the enemy he always chose to tell me is that I'll never become a pastor I'll never get to preach i'll never get to do what I'm called to do even though I go to seminary school and get my degree and all these things don't worry about what man says don't worry about what the devil the enemy says worry about what God says like what Prezz was talking about I learned that Little bit early in my last season that I was in last year don't worry about what others say what truly matters is what God says focus on the Lord and continue to seek his presence praying as well for you sis You're not alone
@@drethebeliever Thank you! I have also been told those exact lies before a long while back. But God brought me to this scripture and I still remember that day He did: ”Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated, common men, they were astonished. And they recognized that they had been with Jesus.“ Acts 4:13 I realized that being with Him is what matters and is what will lead you to fulfill His purpose in your life. God be with you! Thanks again!
I think sometimes in life we get too caught up in where we are in the walk or in the calling that God has us for and it causes us to self evaluate and then think that we are a failure and all these things which I have been having some of those things lately too because I'm 27 still in seminary not married don't have a car I just got a job but it's not ministry and on top of that it's going to Take a decent amount of time away from the church because I have to go to work 8 hour shifts In just life in general is happening and I'm thinking like man if I could change something if I could go back and reset but you know what's so funny it's not a man for me to go back and reset it's not meant for me to go back it's meant for me to be where I'm at right now because where I'm at right now is where God wants me to be regardless of I feel that I'm not where I think I should be this is where God has me and I could feel like I'm late but in reality we're never late we're always on time when it comes to God's divine purpose and plan so praise the Lord on this one very powerful very very powerful and also Prezz I learned last year in the season and I was in dealing with the orphan spirit that I truly had to stop caring about what people or what men thinks of you it was my own lesson in that and I will not go back to that behavior but truly it's about what God says 100 percent so if any of you guys are struggling with that I'll be praying for you and know that God's divine purpose and plan is far bigger than the lies from the enemy because he throws him at me too all the time but they're not true and reach out to people that you can trust So you could have that conversation with those blessing.
God is preparing you for blessings far greater than you could ever imagine! Super cool you are in seminary!
@@rosewalters4445 thank you
Thank you Preston and thank you Jeff for that vulnerable, brutally honest, liberating chat! Jesus is truly the chain breaker - let's walk in His light!
There are no words that will equate to to how meaningful this was...watched it 2x...
Know that I had said to the Lord.. I give up.....
In a very difficult season in my marriage..of 24 years..
My husband who is a believer...has constantly been that voice that has spoken so many negative things to me...
How inadequate I am...
Not good enough...
How I have never been a helpmeet.....
I know God is reminding me of who I am and recalibrating my thoughts..to hear His voice
To believe that I am who he says I am....
Thank you😊
...I am a Basement Dweller and now a Leader's Cut Dweller🙏
God says you are worthy & deserving of love!!!
I needed this reminder, badly. I have been dealing with some scary unknowns, and possibilities that have left me feeling terrified for my kids' safety; while leaving me feeling lost and out of control. And all of it sent me into a downward spiral over the last couple weeks.
Being reminded of my own previous dark time, and the path God took me on to get out if it and draw me closer to Him?.. I can now cast my concerns on Him, and enjoy sitting on my own mountain while God calibrates my heart.
Thank you both for your willingness to share, and for having the desire to provide a space and time for God to join the conversation. It was needed.
This message is something I needed to hear. Thank you Jeff for sharing your testimony. I'm going through a similar situation.
Thank you for sharing, it’s confirmation I’m not crazy. Gods doing something in me, through me. Hard to SIT! Today, I literally said I am needing affirmation. Thank you both❤️🙌🔥
I was a minute into this and it was like he was giving words to what I have been going through the past couple of months.
This past week was especially hard, as I was feeling overwhelmed, stressed and exhausted. The usual things like listening to worship music and reading the bible didn't hp at all. My brain had decided to spiral and I had no way to control it. I felt crazy.
The next day I got a message from a friend asking for help with something and it was beyond me. My mind could not fathom doing one....more....thing. And so, I told him I was not okay and why.
The sharing led to breakthrough and slowly all of the other stuff went away.🤯 I had a clear mind and heart for the first time in a few days. I thanked my friend for listening.
Similar to his talk about resting on the mountain top, I feel that in this season Abba is leading me to lean on people. (Not something i tend to do.) To share the instability in my mind. And the darkness that the enemy wants me to stay in... Abba has another perspective. One that says, who are you really angry at? ...because it's not those people and their actions.
Deep surgery is never pleasant but here I am.😅
Thanks for sharing this conversation. Hearing someone talk about their struggle reminded that I don't need to isolate, and that I have options. And that when the enemy and his lies feel loud, there is another way.❤
I am so glad the Lord has revealed this to you, friend. I know He will continue to follow through- His love for you is far greater than anything you could imagine!
@@rosewalters4445 Thanks for the encouragement.❤️
Oh man I’ve been in a tough spot myself lately. This has been really encouraging ! Let’s get out 💪
Thank you! I felt the sincerity and love! ❤ The transparency and truth is greatly appreciated!
I’m in a dark spot. Great advice and thank you for this ❤
God is with you and will pull you through
Thankful for this episode. I am currently walking through a valley of darkness. Struggling with believing in the lie that I am a failure as a husband to my wife and a father to my one month old son because of us being in a particularly dry season financially. I would greatly appreciate all of your prayers.
May the Lord bless you with peace and the reminder that He sees you!!!
Praying for you right now. He is the God above it all
I thank God for peace, comfort, strength, and wisdom upon you, brother. There is light at the end of a tunnel and God's mercies are new every morning. I pray that the Holy Spirit will just move upon you and your family right now, In the name of Jesus! Who the Son sets free is free indeed, we have a God that redeems, comforts, loves, provides, and heals. I thank God, for supernatural healing and revival upon you, brother. No lies of the enemy will ever surpass the goodness of God that is yet to come! God will never leave you nor forsake you, receive it! In Jesus' name, Amen!
This episode resonated with me so much. I have been going through a very similar thing, feeling this needed recalibration, but it can sometimes feel lonely "on the top of the mountain." Hearing you put words to this experience reinforced Truth so much. Thank you both for the time, effort and humility that went into this message. ❤🙏
Praying for Todd ❤
Life changing! Thank you for interviewing him Preston.
Super excited for this!!
👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
Really grateful for this conversation. I felt so many different spots where God spoke directly to me through this. I'm probably 6 months out from My darkest moment, but I still see that God is working on me and isn't done yet
Oh, how this needs to be taught to new Christians. Invaluable info and principles to follow.
Love this Preston. Thank you!
Very blessed by this. 👩🏽🤛🏼🤯
Needed this pod today. The Lord definitely spoke to me through it 🙌
Amen brother! Thank you for sharing with me!!
I've watched a lot of your videos/podcast video but this just hits me hard and real. Preston, the way you ask questions where you paint a picture to the listener is an elite way of communicating, it gets things in perspective where it is so relatable and easy to understand. Thank you Jeff for sharing your story. 3 years ago, I've hit the bottom and I also know what it looks like, but this year, God has taken me into a completely new and bright path. The longer we walk with the Lord, the more we begin to understand that PHASE IS NOT EVERYTHING, PROXIMITY IS....
Thank you for sharing. I remember being in that same spot in the darkness. Only I put myself there and held onto the bitterness and resentment of church hurt.
9 Years later, The Lord used a believer, who I worked with in the past, to bring me back to repentance and walk back into God’s arms.
Praise God for His mercy and grace that I know I don’t deserve 🫶🏼🙌🏼
@prestonmorrison, I'll be rewatching this, and passing it along.
It's as if the enemy gives out the attack narrative (kind of like media outlets).
I and my Bible besties seem to under this same spirit of divided identity and inadequacy. Knocked down, but not knocked out !
I have a lot of questions about handling certain situations, but lately, as hard as it is, I have been sensing Him telling me to stop pushing.
🔑🎁TEAM SAVAGE🎁🔑
Undefeated!
Thank you Lord for leading me to this. I have been struggling with thoughts and feelings about the lack in my life right now. Please pray for my strength and direction, my faith to know that God loves me and will deliver me. May God continue to bless each of you.
The Lord led me here. I’m a writer and have had book contracts and books go out of print almost immediately. After that, no contracts except a few work-for-hire contracts that didn’t pay the bills. When I borrowed money from friends and family to pay rent, I felt a lot of shame. So I can relate to Jeff’s story in that the Lord pulled me aside to be still in His presence. Psalm 46:10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” Stillness has been hard for me, because the Lord knew that stillness wasn’t the issue-trusting Him was. I wanted to keep producing. But I was running on empty. So thank you for this confirming word.
Your words will be so much more powerful and authentic on the other side of this in obedience and collaboration with Him I know it!
@@rosewalters4445 Amen!
I hit bottom a couple days ago. The trauma of the past two years hit when helping a child process it. I’ve always been able to pull out from under the dark clouds with God & praise. I couldn’t, until I stopped isolating and hiding it. I finally asked for prayer…. & then stumbled immediately on this video. I’m chewing on it now. I’m still not fully out of it, but can see how to do it again…God always. Recalibrating now….
Praying for you! God loves you and so do I!❤❤❤
Thank you for this episode! I've definitely been in dark moments too and it was truly there that God showed me more things than when life seemed "perfect." Thanks for your transparency Jeff. What also helped me is realizing that since God woke me up another day it was enough to know that God has given me another chance to embrace His grace, mercy, and most of all His love. Be encouraged everyone!
Rock bottom looks a lot different to me and I wanted to share for others who may feel the same.
Rock bottom can be having everything you need, everything you want, and still feeling out of place, stuck, and like you don’t belong. You aren’t in a place where you believe the world would be better without you, but you feel “stuck”. That nagging feeling for me was there because I let my ego tell me that my accomplishments are my own, because of my skills and my hard work. I have been walking like I am the one who is going to make things happen in my life and my recalibration is I need to let go of my ego and walk with the lord.
Omw the affermation is what I chase
Thank you!
I absolutely know how this feels and I have no wife lost everything and stand to lose my home so I get the what is my worth on this planet I feel like I have no value
This was so good, although i feel my isolation season is ordained I can still say that Im never alone with God. Everyone isnt built for isolation so if you feel like you should reach out, please do so!! The thoughts can get out of hand if you dont know what to do. The enemy loves to chat, you have to choose what you will listen to!
I’m going through a recalibration
! IIm in the darknest place Ive ever been .
Did you ever feel that even the father isn't affirming you only other men in Christ 😢
Thank you for this video. It’s very interesting that you mention bringing people into the low points. What do if I don’t have anyone to help me? I’ve tried to reach out to people and, it’s clear that they can not help me carry the load or even comfort me. What do I do in this instance, when there is no one to call and text and it truly seems like you have no one?
Did I miss something or is there not a new leaders cut
This episode cut deep! I’ve been struggling in the darkness for a little over a year. In those dark moments, it’s sooo hard to reach out to someone. I’m learning to lean on God and praise him through this storm. My God is good and he is refining me to be the person he intended me to be. I’m finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. 🩶🕊️
You are not alone. God’s mercies are new every morning! Each day we get to start over and lean into His love more fully❤
