Christ.

We help people

What themes has God woven into your story? What struggles brought you where you are today?

Together, we learn to notice those compass points in our lives and then share them with others.

What are...

God is sovereign. He is in control of every moment of our lives, guiding us and leading us closer to him, like a compass. Compass points are themes, pivotal moment, and 180º shifts that God weaves into your story to draw you closer to Himself.

Instead of seeing these moments like the word sees them, we teach ourselves to view them differently.

Fill your feed with Hope

Thank you for following along to see where God is leading me. He has saved me from some really dark seasons in my life that I have only come to realize over the last three and half years (I’m a slow learner). Now I have to testify to His Greatness and Sovereignty. Stay tuned and I love that you choose to follow what God is up to.

I'm Rusty.

I never planned on starting a ministry.

In fact, after the death of my infant daughter, I never planned on following God.

But thank goodness His plan beat mine. It’s been a hard road that led me here, full of waypoints that I couldn’t understand at the time. But God has been sovereign through all of it.

And I see that now.

Read on to hear about my story, then let’s help you see yours.

My Story

The compass points that brought me here

Listen to the full testimony

August 15, 1987

We became One.

God brought Michelle and I together.

September 14th 1992

Brittany was born

God blessed us with this perfect little Angel and it was love at first sight, but just shy of 11 months later I found myself in the horrific situation of trying to breathe life back into her on the nursery floor. I was furious with God for taking Brittany, and that was the beginning of a very dark season in my life.

1994 - 2022

Raising a family

Michelle and I were truly blessed. We had three more kids, Carson (second from right), Connor (right) and Delaney (middle).

Tragedy

Thanksgiving morning in front of the kids and myself, my beautiful wife and their amazing mother, suffered a severe hemorrhagic stroke. Once I heard what we were up against, I did it again, and blamed God. You can hear the whole story in my social media videos, but once again, God refused to give up on me.

God sent a messenger

God sent a special messenger to my front door a couple of days into this second and even darker season I was entering. I felt him touch and comfort me and speak to me in the most eloquent words that have ever entered my ears, through Charlie our 85 year old neighborhood night security guard. God has been very patient with me my whole life and especially over the last 3 1/2 years. Now He has put this project on me to go and testify to His Greatness, and bring glory to His perfect son Jesus.

God shows me a compass

During my morning prayer time, really more like morning conversations time with our Amazing Father, He put Christ My Compass on my heart and I am following His lead. Thank you for visiting our website (God & me) as well as our social media feeds. I appreciate you all and may God bless your paths as well.
