What do you want?

December 1, 2022November 30, 2022 by rustytugman, posted in Uncategorized

A few weeks ago, I sat in a coffee shop with a well-known executive coach whose clients are among the most powerful people in the business world. He had graciously agreed to let me "pick his brain" on the topics of coaching and leadership. At one point in the conversation, he said, "Rusty, I've coached … Continue reading What do you want?

A Prayer for the Weary

November 23, 2022November 22, 2022 by rustytugman, posted in Uncategorized

Dear Lord, Here we are again at the time of year we call "the holiday season," and, as always, there are some who don't feel festive. Instead, they feel weary because they are worn down by life's demands, heartbroken by life's tragedies, and discouraged by life's cruelties. And when weariness strikes, it's sometimes easy to … Continue reading A Prayer for the Weary

The Moment

Last week, a person reached out to me facing a "dilemma." This person was faced with a situation that was testing their resolve to follow God's moral will. I knew this person well so I knew what they needed to hear and how they needed to hear it, so I replied... "This is a moment … Continue reading The Moment

Where’s the Remote?

November 14, 2022November 10, 2022 by rustytugman, posted in Uncategorized

Last week I had to travel for a training event that I was participating in and stayed in a hotel that was a bit questionable, to put it nicely. On these kinds of events, I don't book my own accommodations - that's done for me by a group with whom our agency partners. So, I … Continue reading Where’s the Remote?

Today, part 2

November 10, 2022October 31, 2022 by rustytugman, posted in Uncategorized

On Monday I shared a thought from Jim Martin encouraging us to make progress toward a goal "today." That post reminded me of two verses of Scripture that mention "today." The first is Psalm 95:7-8 which says, "Today, if only you would hear his voice, "Do not harden your hearts...'" The second is Hebrews 3, … Continue reading Today, part 2

From Jim Martin... Lately, I have been thinking about one particular question: Am I actually doing something about this (problem, concern, challenge) right now? For example you may be thinking: I really ought to do something about my finances. I am not sure where our money (home finances) is going. I really need to start … Continue reading Today

Are you being “nudged” by the Spirit?

November 3, 2022October 31, 2022 by rustytugman, posted in Uncategorized

My friend and coach, Sid Walker, recently lost his father, who was a very accomplished man of great faith in Christ. Sid wrote about this experience in a weekly message he emails out every Monday, and his message is a powerful reminder to pay attention to the "nudges" of the Holy Spirit. Thanks for the … Continue reading Are you being “nudged” by the Spirit?
