    Do Not Grow Weary | Roadside Notes — A Faith and Good Courage Journal Reading | Ep35

    There's a kind of tiredness that doesn't come from lack of sleep. It comes from planting without seeing anything come up. From doing good work quietly and wondering if it's landing anywhere. From showing up day after day in a season that doesn't seem to be turning yet. That's what this entry is about. A conversation in a Route 66 diner with an old farmer who'd been planting longer than he'd been harvesting said something that stayed with me. He wasn't discouraged. He wasn't measuring. He was simply doing what the season called for. Paul said the same thing in Galatians 6:9 in a way that's less a pep talk and more a steady hand on the shoulder. There will be a harvest. The season belongs to something larger than your timeline. Some seeds belong to the next pair of hands. Some harvests are gathered by people you'll never meet. This episode is for the ones who are still planting anyway. 📖 Read the full Journal entry: https://faithandgoodcourage.com/2026/05/07/do-not-grow-weary/ 🎙️ 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 #matthew25lives

    Center of Attention Without Being Seen | Roadside Notes — A Faith and Good Courage Journal Reading | Ep34

    There is a line Christopher uses with couples when he is deciding whether he is the right officiant for their wedding. He tells them he has the toughest job of anyone in the room. He has to be the center of attention without being seen, and he has to do all the talking without being heard. It gets a laugh. But he means every word. This entry sits with that idea alongside Matthew 6, the passage that doesn't condemn giving but questions the audience. It asks an honest question: when we share stories of kindness, when we encourage others to act, are we teaching or performing? Are we illuminating the path or spotlighting ourselves? That line is worth examining. Quietly. Regularly. Without flinching. The goal isn't invisibility. It's proper positioning. Let the love shine. Let the kindness become normal. Let the idea outlast the name of the person who shared it. 📖 Read the full Journal entry: https://faithandgoodcourage.com/2026/04/30/center-of-attention/ 🎙️ 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 #matthew25lives

    Spring Is Coming I Can Feel It | Roadside Notes — A Faith and Good Courage Journal Reading | Ep32

    It started at a cold cement table outside a Dunkin' with a cup of familiar coffee and a head full of heavy things. Bills. Health. The state of the world. The kind of weight that settles in when you sit alone with it long enough. But instead of asking God to fix everything on that list, Christopher bowed his head just to say thank You. Simple. Quiet. No agenda. When he lifted his head, someone was sitting a few feet away. A man with a worn-haired dog named Pete and a smile that didn't ask for anything. What happened next wasn't planned or dramatic. A donut he couldn't eat. Half a cup of coffee. A few honest words. And then a line that landed like a promise: "Spring is coming, I can feel it." Gratitude changes what you see. When you stop demanding and start noticing, your eyes adjust. And sometimes what you're holding is exactly what someone else needs. 📖 Read the full Journal entry: https://faithandgoodcourage.com/2026/04/16/spring-is-coming-i-can-feel-it/ 🎙️ 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 #matthew25lives
