Summary

Have you ever felt a tug from God to do something that just feels...uncomfortable? A choice that goes against every instinct, every bit of logic, and every ounce of your comfort? In this raw and vulnerable episode of The Leader's Cut, Preston and Holly get real about the hardest thing God has ever asked them to do. They pull back the curtain on their own struggles, sharing transparently about the moments they had to choose the difficult path—a path that felt overwhelming, but ultimately led to one of the greatest blessings they’ve ever known. We dive deep into why God often leads us this way, challenging the lie that an easy life is always the blessed life. He unpacks powerful biblical truths that reveal how our deepest transformation, our most powerful testimonies, and our closest relationship with God are forged in the fires of obedience to His most challenging calls. For anyone standing at a crossroads, unsure if they have the courage to take the first step -- You'll walk away with a fresh perspective on what it means to be a follower of Jesus and the faith you need to say "yes" to His most difficult requests. When God asks for the difficult path, what if your biggest breakthrough is waiting just on the other side?
