Guiding Leaders to

Slow Down,

Experience God,

and Live Freely

_FOC3593 copy 2.JPG

You love God. You lead faithfully. But you sense there's more.

You want a deeper life with God.
A
calmer inner world.
A way of leading that feels honest and sustainable.

 

You don't need more information. 
You need lasting transformation.

​​​

Let me help you through one-on-one work, the Steady Leader cohort, or retreat leadership—spaces designed for real change.

Something Feels Off

You shouldn’t have to:

 

  • Live in a constant rush

  • Carry everything alone

  • Feel disconnected from God while working for God

  • Feel surprised by your same old reactions

  • Lead on the outside while feeling unsettled on the inside

After our work, you'll:​

​

  • Slow your inner pace

  • Experience God with you in your daily life

  • Respond instead of react

  • Lead from a calmer, steadier place

  • Live with more freedom and integrity

There's a deeper way to live and lead

Transitions
Change the Map

You know that feeling when your old ways stop working?

It might be a sabbatical.

A dark night of the soul.

A change in your calling.

An invitation to deeper intimacy with God.

Or the strain of carrying more than you were meant to carry—and often doing so alone.

​

Sometimes it's the disorientation that comes from real transformation—because even good change can leave you feeling unsteady.

These are the moments when old maps no longer work and when having a trusted guide matters.

You Don't Have to Navigate This Alone

HI, I'M RUSTY MCKIE

I guide leaders through seasons of transition where growth, loss, or change feels disorienting.

​​

When old ways of relating to God, yourself, and others stop working—and the next step isn’t obvious.

 

Through spiritual direction and somatic coaching: 
We slow down.

We listen to God.

We find a steadier way forward.​​​​

What Begins
To Change

This Work isn't Quick Fixes.

It's Slow Formation.

Over time, leaders I walk with often notice:

​

  • A calmer inner world, even when external pressures remain

  • Less reactivity—problems no longer feel bigger on the inside than they actually are

  • A growing sense of stability, especially in moments that once felt overwhelming

  • A renewed experience of God’s presence, not just in prayer, but in daily leadership

  • Greater clarity and discernment, without the pressure to rush decisions

  • Freedom from old patterns that used to show up under stress

  • Leadership that feels more honest and integrated—the inside and outside begin to match

  • Confidence to navigate transition, even when the path forward isn’t fully clear

What Leaders who Know My Work have Experienced

 Your Next Step

If something here resonates...

The next step isn’t a commitment. It’s simply a conversation.

​​

We’ll slow down, listen, and discern together whether this work is a good fit for you in this season.

Still not sure if this work is for you?
