Faith and Good Courage
Faith and Good Courage is more than a name. It’s a home for travelers, seekers, and anyone carrying heavy miles on the inside. It began as a podcast, but has grown into a journal, a video series, and a community of people who believe kindness still belongs at the table.
At its heart, this project is a roadside diner of stories. The kind of place where you sit down with strangers, swap tales, and leave a little lighter than you arrived. It’s for those who believe that faith is not about perfection, but about walking through detours with grit, grace, and honesty.
The Podcast
The Faith and Good Courage Podcast is hosted by Christopher Tuttle, the Route 66 Chaplain. Each episode blends roadside reflections, real-life vignettes, and gentle spiritual insight. The podcast isn’t about polished sermons or step-by-step advice. It’s about meeting you in a diner booth, coffee in hand, with a story that just might carry you another mile.
Watch the podcast on YouTube, or listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other platforms. Wherever you tune in, you’ll find short stories rooted in grace, grit, and roadside wisdom.
The Journal (aka Roadside Notes)
The Journal is a growing collection of essays and reflections. Each story is for and from the road along Route 66. Available as a podcast and video series and always ends with a ✨ Roadside Reflection. These aren’t lofty essays. They’re everyday moments where grace shows up: a flat tire turned into kindness, a bus station full of waiting, or a coffee cup at a quiet diner. It’s one of the best ways for readers to discover what Faith and Good Courage really means in practice.
Healing Highway
Healing Highway is a special video and podcast series. It’s about turning off your phone, slowing down, and finding healing in forgotten places. These 7 stories of Healing are part of the wider work of Faith and Good Courage: reminding people that life’s detours can still lead to hope.
Why It Matters
We live in a world that feels more divided and distracted than ever. This journal and podcast exist to push back against what Christopher calls the “compassion deficit.” It’s not political. It’s not commercial. It’s human. It’s about small acts of kindness — the kind you’d see in a diner on Route 66, when a stranger picks up your coffee or offers directions without asking for anything in return.
This project is about telling stories that keep us awake to one another. Awake enough to notice. Awake enough to care. Awake enough to carry a little courage into the next mile. That’s what Faith and Good Courage stands for.
✨ Roadside Reflection:
Faith and Good Courage isn’t just a title. It’s a way of walking through the world with kindness, even when the road feels long. It’s about holding space for strangers, telling stories that heal, and remembering that every detour still belongs to the journey. If the road has brought you here, you’re in the right place. Pull up a chair. There’s always room at the table.
