    Unplug. Drive. Heal. | Healing Highway - July 2026

    Unplug. Drive. Heal. | Faith and Good Courage Healing Highway is a monthly reflection from the Faith and Good Courage project, created for people who need a pause more than a push. This is the seventh and final episode of Healing Highway, the conclusion of seven personal stories that became the foundation of everything Faith and Good Courage is today. These were the stories that showed Christopher what he was meant to do with his life. Drive. Heal. And tell others what the road did for him. This last chapter begins atop Sitgreaves Pass between Kingman and Oatman, with the desert stretched out like an old friend who doesn't ask questions, and a phone powered all the way off. Burnout doesn't kick the door down. It shows up slow. One yes when you meant no. One late night. One more load carried when your hands were already full. This episode sits with that truth and offers something the road has always offered: enough stillness to hear your own soul again. Three gentle takeaways, a Healing Highway Challenge, a chaplain's word for the soul, and a quiet pause along Route 66 at Sitgreaves Pass and the Mojave Desert near Amboy. You don't have to disappear. You just have to step away long enough to find the sound of your own voice again. This episode is that invitation.

    Highway Hymns and Motel Psalms | Healing Highway — June 2026

    Highway Hymns and Motel Psalms | Faith and Good Courage Healing Highway is a monthly reflection from the Faith and Good Courage project, created for people who need a pause more than a push. Some of the best church Christopher Tuttle has ever had didn't happen in a church. It happened behind the wheel somewhere between Needles and Barstow. On the edge of a motel bed with a Gideon Bible in the drawer and a neon sign blinking through the window. On a gas station parking lot at 6:15 in the morning watching the sky slowly wake up over the desert. This episode is for anyone who has ever found something sacred in a place that didn't look sacred at all — and wasn't quite sure what to make of it. Highway Hymns and Motel Psalms is a quiet reminder that grace doesn't wait for the right building or the right hour. It shows up on the road, in the margins, in the ordinary moments most people drive past without slowing down. This episode gives you room to notice what's already there. If you've been looking for something holy in all the wrong places, maybe it's been in the right ones all along.

    Still More Road Ahead | Healing Highway — May 2026

    Healing Highway is a monthly reflection from the Faith and Good Courage project, created for people who need a pause more than a push. Some seasons of life don't announce themselves as hard. They just quietly wear you thin. You're moving, you're showing up, you're getting through the day, but somewhere along the way you lost touch with yourself. This episode is for anyone carrying that kind of tired. The kind without a clear name. The kind that doesn't lift just because the weekend arrived. Christopher Tuttle draws on the unfinished road, the stretch of Route 66 he has never driven, as a reminder that incompleteness is not the same as failure, and that sometimes the healing is not in what you have finished but in knowing there is still more road ahead. This episode offers three gentle takeaways for finding your footing again, a Healing Highway Challenge about reclaiming something you have set aside, and a chaplain's word for the soul that meets you exactly where you are, mid-journey and still moving. This episode includes: One original Healing Highway story rooted in Route 66Three gentle takeaways for carrying the theme into everyday lifeA Healing Highway Challenge focused on reclaiming what feels unfinishedA chaplain's word for the soul, nothing preachyA quiet pause along Route 66 at Hackberry, ArizonaIf your spirit is running low right now, you do not need a grand plan. You just need a little room to unravel. New episodes of Healing Highway release monthly on the first Sunday. 🎙️ Healing Highway is a series from Faith and Good Courage.

    Anywhere Between Chicago to L.A. | Healing Highway — April 2026

    Anywhere Between Chicago to L.A., One Lonely Highway Might Just Save Your Sanity is the fourth story in Healing Highway, a monthly storytelling series written and read by Christopher Tuttle, host of Faith and Good Courage. In this episode, Christopher shares a deeply personal journey along Route 66 — not in search of adventure, but in search of space. What unfolds is a quiet return to self, shaped by long miles, small towns, diner conversations, and the kind of silence that allows something honest to surface. Healing Highway isn’t about fixing everything. It’s about stepping far enough away from the noise to remember who you are underneath it. 📖 Read the full Journal story: https://faithandgoodcourage.com/2026/04/anywhere-between-chicago-to-la/ (adjust if needed) 🎙️ Healing Highway is part of the Faith and Good Courage project, stories of grace, grit, and second chances written and read by Christopher Tuttle, The Route 66 Chaplain. #FaithAndGoodCourage #HealingHighway #Route66Chaplain #ChristopherTuttle #RoadsideWisdom #Rule66 #QuietStrength #GraceOnTheGo #Route66

    Mental Health at 55 MPH | Healing Highway — March 2026

    Mental Health at 55 MPH is the third story in Healing Highway, a monthly storytelling series written and read by Christopher Tuttle, host of Faith and Good Courage. In this episode, Christopher reflects on pace, presence, and the quiet recalibration that happens when life slows down to a sustainable rhythm. Set along Route 66, this story explores how mental health often improves not through dramatic breakthroughs, but through ordinary moments — a diner booth, a stretch of open road, light hitting rock at just the right time. Healing Highway isn’t about fixing everything. It’s about traveling differently. This month’s reflection invites listeners to consider the power of 55 miles per hour — a pace steady enough to breathe, notice, and return to yourself. 📖 Read the full Journal story: https://faithandgoodcourage.com/2026/03/01/mental-health-at-55mph/ 🎙️ Healing Highway is part of the Faith and Good Courage project, stories of grace, grit, and second chances written and read by Christopher Tuttle, The Route 66 Chaplain. #FaithAndGoodCourage #HealingHighway #Route66Chaplain #ChristopherTuttle #RoadsideWisdom #Rule66 #QuietStrength #GraceOnTheGo #Route66

    Your Anxiety Isn’t Welcome Here | Healing Highway — February 2026

    Your Anxiety Isn’t Welcome Here | Faith and Good Courage Healing Highway is a monthly reflection from the Faith and Good Courage project, created for people who need a pause more than a push. In this February episode, chaplain and storyteller Christopher Tuttle, known as the Route 66 Chaplain, explores the quiet, exhausting kind of anxiety that settles into the body long before the day begins. Not the loud panic that demands attention, but the steady hum that tightens the chest, crowds the mind, and follows us everywhere urgency is rewarded. Through a roadside story shaped by time on Route 66, this episode offers space to breathe, slow down, and remember that anxiety is not your identity. It is information, a signal asking to be noticed with care rather than fought with force. This episode includes: One original Healing Highway story rooted in Route 66Three gentle takeaways for carrying calm into everyday lifeA Healing Highway Challenge focused on intentional slowingA chaplain’s word for the soul, nothing preachyA quiet pause in Shamrock, Texas, at a place that reminds us we don’t have to hurry to matterIf life has been moving too fast, Your Anxiety Isn’t Welcome Here offers a reminder that healing often begins when we stop long enough to listen.

    Gas Stations and Grace | Healing Highway — January 2026

    Gas Stations and Grace is the first story in Healing Highway, a seven-part storytelling series written along Route 66 by Christopher Tuttle, host of Faith and Good Courage. This episode explores burnout, stillness, and the quiet kind of grace that shows up when you stop trying so hard to be okay. Not in a church or a big breakthrough moment, but in an ordinary gas station, between pump number three and the candy aisle, where the noise fades and something inside finally exhales. Healing Highway is about detours, self-discovery, and the ordinary places that hold more mercy than we expect, if we are willing to slow down long enough to notice. 📖 Read the full Journal story: https://faithandgoodcourage.com/2026/01/03/gas-stations-and-grace/ 🎙️ Healing Highway is a storytelling series from the Faith and Good Courage project, stories of grace, grit, and second chances written and read by Christopher Tuttle, The Route 66 Chaplain. #FaithAndGoodCourage #HealingHighway #Route66Chaplain #ChristopherTuttle #RoadsideWisdom #Rule66 #QuietStrength #GraceOnTheGo #Route66
