    When Kindness Takes The Wheel | Roadside Notes — A Faith and Good Courage Journal Reading | Ep22

    Kindness takes the wheel in ways most people never notice. What looks simple on the surface can unsettle those who have forgotten how heavy life can feel for someone else. Some misunderstand kindness. Some mock it. Some mistake it for weakness. But this reflection tells a different story, one learned slowly, over long miles and quiet moments. Drawing from a mother’s wisdom, diner counter conversations, and an unnoticed act of generosity along Route 66, this story explores kindness as a form of courage, softness with strength behind it. No applause. No cameras. Just the kind of compassion that leaves a mark long after the coffee has gone cold. Kindness still works best when no one is watching, and it still has the power to change a moment, a morning, and sometimes a life. 📖 Read the full Journal entry: https://faithandgoodcourage.com/2026/02/05/kindness-takes-the-wheel/ 🎙️ Roadside Notes is a reading series from the Faith and Good Courage Journal, stories of grace, grit, and second chances written and read by Christopher Tuttle, The Route 66 Chaplain. #FaithAndGoodCourage #faithgoodcourage #Route66Chaplain #ChristopherTuttle #RoadsideWisdom #Rule66 #HealingHighway #KindnessForTheRoad #QuietStrength #TheCompassionDeficit #WitWisdomAndDinerMoments #GraceOnTheGo #route66

    I See You and Thank You | Roadside Notes — A Faith and Good Courage Journal Reading | Ep21

    We don’t always get to stand on mountaintops and shout about heroes. The world rarely pauses to notice the small acts that quietly hold it together. But this reflection does. It’s a thank-you to the gentle, steady souls whose love shows up without applause, wrapped in kindness and offered without expectation. I See You and Thank You honors the quiet givers, the ones who sew, cook, share, and stop for strangers. It’s a reminder that love doesn’t always arrive with trumpets or miracles. Sometimes it comes as a handmade bag, a half-burger, or a soft word spoken at the right moment. These small acts feed more than bodies, they feed the soul, one moment of quiet grace at a time. 📖 Read the full Journal entry: https://faithandgoodcourage.com/2026/01/29/i-see-you-and-thank-you/ 🎙️ Roadside Notes is a reading series from the Faith and Good Courage Journal, stories of grace, grit, and second chances written and read by Christopher Tuttle, The Route 66 Chaplain. #FaithAndGoodCourage #faithgoodcourage #Route66Chaplain #ChristopherTuttle #RoadsideWisdom #Rule66 #HealingHighway #KindnessForTheRoad #QuietStrength #TheCompassionDeficit #WitWisdomAndDinerMoments #GraceOnTheGo #route66

    Feed Somebody | Roadside Notes — A Faith and Good Courage Journal Reading | Ep20

    Feed Somebody is not charity from on high. It’s recognition. A brother. A sister. A mirror. Every sandwich, every grocery drop-off, every spare-dollar coffee handed to someone shivering on a curb is the gospel with its sleeves rolled up. You don’t need perfect answers. You need a willing heart, a shopping basket, and the courage to stop. This reflection invites us to rethink what helping really looks like. Feeding isn’t always dramatic. It’s ordinary. It’s practical. It’s paying attention. Hunger takes many forms, and love still meets it in everyday ways, through food, kindness, and presence. Sometimes God isn’t shouting from the sky. Sometimes He’s whispering from the checkout line, or sitting beside someone on the curb. 📖 Read the full Journal entry: https://faithandgoodcourage.com/2026/01/22/feed-somebody/ 🎙️ Roadside Notes is a reading series from the Faith and Good Courage Journal, stories of grace, grit, and second chances written and read by Christopher Tuttle, The Route 66 Chaplain. #FaithAndGoodCourage #faithgoodcourage #Route66Chaplain #ChristopherTuttle #RoadsideWisdom #Rule66 #HealingHighway #KindnessForTheRoad #QuietStrength #TheCompassionDeficit #WitWisdomAndDinerMoments #GraceOnTheGo #route66

    Finding Common Ground | Roadside Notes — A Faith and Good Courage Journal Reading | Ep19

    Finding common ground used to feel simple. A handshake. A neighborly wave. A shared laugh over burnt toast in a diner booth. Lately, it feels harder. Conversations carry tension. Quiet places aren’t quiet anymore. Screens shout from every corner, pulling us left and right while most of us sit somewhere in between, just trying to finish our coffee. This reflection looks at what it means to seek common ground in a divided world. Not by winning arguments or raising our voices, but by choosing presence, listening, and remembering our shared humanity. It’s about slowing down long enough to notice the person across the table, even when the noise refuses to stop, and choosing connection over certainty. 📖 Read the full Journal entry: https://faithandgoodcourage.com/2026/01/15/finding-common-ground/ 🎙️ Roadside Notes is a reading series from the Faith and Good Courage Journal, stories of grace, grit, and second chances written and read by Christopher Tuttle, The Route 66 Chaplain. #FaithAndGoodCourage #faithgoodcourage #Route66Chaplain #ChristopherTuttle #RoadsideWisdom #Rule66 #HealingHighway #KindnessForTheRoad #QuietStrength #TheCompassionDeficit #WitWisdomAndDinerMoments #GraceOnTheGo #route66

    Strength To Endure | Roadside Notes — A Faith and Good Courage Journal Reading | Ep18

    The strength to endure a difficult life is not usually what we ask for at the beginning. Most of us pray for relief, for answers, for the hard parts to be taken away. I know I have. I have asked God to smooth the road, to fix what hurts, to rewind the clock to before everything cracked open and spilled into places I was not ready to face. Over time, I have learned that endurance is a different kind of gift. This reflection explores the quiet strength that forms when life does not get easier, but we grow steadier. Drawing on wisdom from unexpected places and lived experience, this story looks at patience, resilience, and the kind of faith that does not escape suffering but learns how to remain present within it. Endurance is not about toughness. It is about staying rooted when the storm does not pass quickly. 📖 Read the full Journal entry: https://faithandgoodcourage.com/2026/01/08/strength-to-endure/ 🎙️ Roadside Notes is a reading series from the Faith and Good Courage Journal, stories of grace, grit, and second chances written and read by Christopher Tuttle, The Route 66 Chaplain. #FaithAndGoodCourage #faithgoodcourage #Route66Chaplain #ChristopherTuttle #RoadsideWisdom #Rule66 #HealingHighway #KindnessForTheRoad #QuietStrength #TheCompassionDeficit #WitWisdomAndDinerMoments #GraceOnTheGo #route66

    Rule 66 | Kindness Born of a Mother’s Love | Roadside Notes — A Faith and Good Courage Journal Reading | Ep17

    Rule 66 never began as a campaign or a slogan. It began at a kitchen table that smelled like percolated coffee, ground by hand in a bright red grinder, where my mother quietly taught me how to live. That table became my first classroom, where I learned how to treat people, when to hold my tongue, and how to lead with grace even when life was messy. This reflection looks back at the woman who shaped the road I’m still traveling. Though she’s been gone more than forty years, her words still echo, reminding me to pause before speaking, offer grace before arguing, never let someone leave hungry, and lift the spirit before leaving the room. Rule 66 is the direction her wisdom pointed me toward, and it still leads me home. 📖 Read the full Journal entry: https://faithandgoodcourage.com/2026/01/01/rule-66/ 🎙️ Roadside Notes is a reading series from the Faith and Good Courage Journal, stories of grace, grit, and second chances written and read by Christopher Tuttle, The Route 66 Chaplain. #FaithAndGoodCourage #faithgoodcourage #Route66Chaplain #ChristopherTuttle #RoadsideWisdom #Rule66 #HealingHighway #KindnessForTheRoad #QuietStrength #TheCompassionDeficit #WitWisdomAndDinerMoments #GraceOnTheGo #route66

    Love Came Quietly | Roadside Notes — A Faith and Good Courage Journal Reading | Ep16

    Love came quietly that night, without fanfare or bright lights. Not through a throne or a trumpet, but through a manger that smelled of hay and hope. This Christmas reflection returns to the humility of God’s arrival, reminding us that heaven chose the ordinary, the lowly, and the quiet as its doorway into the world. Two thousand years later, love still arrives the same way. Not in headlines or spectacle, but in kitchens where meals are shared, church halls where strangers gather around a table, and small acts of kindness offered without applause. This story reflects on serving Christmas dinner, on modern Bethlehem moments hidden in plain sight, and on the truth that love does not need to make noise to change everything. It only needs to arrive, and stay. 📖 Read the full Journal entry: https://faithandgoodcourage.com/2025/12/25/love-came-quietly/ 🎙️ Roadside Notes is a reading series from the Faith and Good Courage Journal, stories of grace, grit, and second chances written and read by Christopher Tuttle, The Route 66 Chaplain. #FaithAndGoodCourage #faithgoodcourage #Route66Chaplain #ChristopherTuttle #RoadsideWisdom #Rule66 #HealingHighway #KindnessForTheRoad #QuietStrength #TheCompassionDeficit #WitWisdomAndDinerMoments #GraceOnTheGo #route66

    Sharing Your Story of Faith | Roadside Notes — A Faith and Good Courage Journal Reading

    Sharing your story of faith changes you too. When you speak what God has done, you hear it again with your own ears. Memory turns into gratitude, gratitude into courage, and courage into another mile you are willing to walk. This week’s reflection explores why faith stories are not about impressing, explaining, or forcing conclusions. They are about witnessing what is real and trusting that God was faithful, even when understanding came later. This story reflects on the quiet responsibility that comes with sharing and receiving sacred stories. Ask more than you answer. Guard what is entrusted to you. Choose humility over hurry. When love is the motive and kindness is the method, stories breathe, heal, and become trail markers for those still finding their way. Telling your story is an act of faith, a way of saying that what God did in you matters enough to be shared. 📖 Read the full Journal entry: https://faithandgoodcourage.com/2025/12/18/sharing-your-story-of-faith/ 🎙️ Roadside Notes is a reading series from the Faith and Good Courage Journal, stories of grace, grit, and second chances written and read by Christopher Tuttle, The Route 66 Chaplain. #FaithAndGoodCourage #faithgoodcourage #Route66Chaplain #ChristopherTuttle #RoadsideWisdom #Rule66 #HealingHighway #KindnessForTheRoad #QuietStrength #TheCompassionDeficit #WitWisdomAndDinerMoments #GraceOnTheGo #route66
