    Surgery Day: Trusting God When Life Is Out of My Control

    Today I'm facing knee surgery, and it's time to practice what I've spent so many episodes talking about: trusting God, letting go of control, and living one day at a time. In this special episode of All I Have Is Today with Rusty, I'm sharing my thoughts on faith during uncertainty, overcoming fear, finding gratitude in difficult circumstances, and learning to accept help when life doesn't go according to plan. Inspired by Matthew 6:34, this is a reminder that we don't have to figure out tomorrow to appreciate today. Whether you're facing surgery, a personal challenge, anxiety about the future, or a difficult season of life, I hope this message gives you encouragement to take the next right step. Remember: Life doesn't have to be perfect for today to be a gift. God bless you and your family.

    Don't Let Tomorrow Steal Your Peace Today | Faith Over Fear

    Are you worrying about tomorrow so much that you're missing today? With an approaching storm creating tension and uncertainty in the community, I share a powerful reminder about finding peace during stressful times.

You can prepare for tomorrow without surrendering your peace today. Join me every Monday and Thursday for real conversations about faith, personal growth, gratitude, recovery, and everyday life.

    When My Will Gets in God’s Way | Trusting God’s Plan and His Timing

    What happens when we say we trust God—but then try to control the outcome ourselves? In this episode of All I Have Is Today with Rusty, I am reflecting on Psalm 46:1, trusting God’s timing, surrendering control, and having the discipline to take care of the blessings we once prayed for. Faith doesn’t mean doing nothing. It means doing our part while trusting God with what we cannot control.

    Do It Anyway: Keeping Your Word When Life Gets Hard

    When you’re tired, sick, discouraged, or simply don’t feel like showing up, that’s when commitment gets tested. After weeks of being sick and finding out today that I have strep throat, recording a podcast is about the last thing I feel like doing. My energy is low. My voice isn’t where I want it. And I could give you plenty of reasons to skip today. But I made a decision a long time ago: do what you said you were going to do. This episode of All I Have Is Today with Rusty is about discipline, consistency, keeping promises to yourself, and continuing forward when life gets hard.

    Communication Isn’t Just Talking: How to Listen Better & Handle Conflict

    We talk every day, but that doesn’t mean we’re actually communicating. In Season 2, Episode 158 of All I Have Is Today with Rusty, we take an honest look at communication skills and why listening may be more important than talking. Whether it’s with your spouse, family, friends, coworkers, or the people you lead, poor communication can turn a simple misunderstanding into a major conflict. Rusty shares four practical questions that can help us communicate better, listen more effectively, handle difficult conversations, resolve conflict, and build healthier relationships. We also talk about assumptions, taking responsibility for our part, knowing when to speak, knowing when to stay quiet, and learning to say simple but powerful words like “I was wrong,” “I’m sorry,” and “Help me understand.” Because if I’m only interested in being heard but have no interest in hearing you, that’s not communication. That’s a speech. This episode combines personal growth, faith, leadership, relationships, and everyday life to challenge one simple question: Are we really communicating—or are we just talking? New episodes every Monday and Thursday.

    When Being Strong Becomes EGO: WHY asking for Help is Strength

    When does being strong stop being strength and start becoming ego? We’re taught to push through, handle our responsibilities, work hard and keep going. But sometimes “I’ve got it” isn’t strength at all. Sometimes it’s pride, fear or an unwillingness to let anyone see that we’re struggling. In S2 E157 of All I Have Is Today with Rusty, we tackle the uncomfortable question of strength vs. ego and why asking for help doesn’t make you weak. We talk about pride vs. humility, vulnerability, men asking for help, recovery, faith and the pressure to handle everything alone. Real strength isn’t pretending nothing hurts. It isn’t proving you don’t need anybody. Sometimes the strongest thing you can say is, “I need help.” The Blind Spot: Maybe you’re not protecting your strength. Maybe you’re protecting the image of yourself as someone who never needs anybody. New episodes of All I Have Is Today with Rusty every Monday and Thursday.

    When Helping Becomes Enabling: The Hard Truth About Helping Someone You Love

    When does helping someone cross the line into enabling them?  Sometimes love means stepping in, offering support, and helping someone through a rough patch. But constantly swooping in to rescue them can keep them from facing the consequences, taking responsibility, and growing.  In this episode of *All I Have Is Today* with Rusty, we’re asking the tough question: Are you truly helping someone you love—or just making it easier for them to stay stuck?  I’m diving into the difference between helping and enabling, the importance of healthy boundaries, personal responsibility, recovery, faith, accountability, and why saying “I love you, but I can’t keep doing this for you” can actually be an act of love.  It’s not about walking away from someone who’s struggling—it’s about knowing the difference between walking alongside them and carrying them.  The Blind Spot: Maybe the problem isn’t helping too little. Maybe it’s helping too much.
