Are you longing for true change, but constantly feel stuck or confused about how to get there? Do you wonder why God seems distant in certain seasons? This week on The Leader's Cut, Preston Morrison is joined by Megan Fate Marshman for a profound conversation on how God truly changes you. We often seek transformation on the mountaintop, but Preston and Megan reveal the surprising truth: God's most powerful work often happens in the valleys, in moments of "desolation," and even in the times you don’t expect it. This episode offers a radical reframing of how the Spirit works to reshape your heart, revealing His kindness — even in the "cutting out" process. You’ll learn: Why chasing feelings can lead you away from God, & how to embrace His presence in every season. The profound power of "consolation" and "desolation" in reorienting your desires. How God uses your "mess" and "rough edges" as a divine opportunity for deeper transformation. The crucial practice of opening your heart to God. Why the solution to your shame isn't hiding, but bravely exposing your whole self to His perfect love. If you've ever felt like something was "wrong" with you during a dry spiritual season, or struggled to bridge the gap between your behavior and your heart's desires, this episode is for you. Learn to run towards God's refining work, not away from it, and step into the radiant life He designed for YOU!
