Questions and Answers About the Show
What is Faith and Good Courage?
It is not a sermon and it is not a self-help seminar. Faith and Good Courage is a storytelling podcast and journal hosted by Christopher Tuttle, a chaplain, a wanderer, and a hopeless Route 66 romantic. Part travelogue, part soul-sidekick. You will find stories about healing, grace, loss, laughter, and the quiet strength it takes to just keep going.
Do I have to be religious to listen?
Not even a little. Christopher is a chaplain, think spiritual encouragement without the sermon. This show welcomes anyone who has ever been lost, tired, hopeful, or healing. If you believe in kindness, coffee, and second chances, you are in the right place.
Is this podcast only about Route 66?
Route 66 is the backdrop, not the whole story. While the Mother Road is a frequent character in the show, the heart of Faith and Good Courage is about people. The ones we meet, the ones we remember, and the one we are still becoming.
Where can I listen or watch?
Wherever your ears or eyes roam. Listen on Apple Podcasts, watch on YouTube, or read the stories right here in the Journal. All three are free and always available.
What shows does Faith and Good Courage produce?
Three. Roadside Notes is a weekly journal reading and vodcast rooted in everyday grace. Healing Highway is a monthly series running January through July 2026 focused on rest, recovery, and the healing that happens when you slow down. The Faith and Good Courage Podcast is a longer form conversation series filmed at diners along the Mother Road.
What kind of stories will I hear?
The kind that do not come with a bow. Stories of grief and growth. Motel rooms and roadside grace. A stranger’s kindness. A quiet sunrise. The strength it takes to say, I am still here.
Is this one of those motivational shows?
Only if you count surviving the day as a victory. Christopher does not shout affirmations or hand out five-point plans. He tells the truth, with humor, heart, and the kind of wisdom you only earn from walking through some fire.
What is the meaning behind the name Faith and Good Courage?
It comes from the old Blessing for Abraham, also known as the Traveler’s Prayer. It means you do not need all the answers to move forward. Just enough belief to take the next mile, and enough courage to keep your heart open on the way.
Who is Christopher, really?
A chaplain. A former radio broadcaster with nearly 30 years behind the mic. A storyteller. A wedding officiant. A Route 66 romantic. He is not here to fix you. He is just here to sit beside you for a few miles and remind you that you are not alone.
Where can I learn more about the science behind kindness and compassion?
Good questions deserve good resources. The Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley offers research-backed answers and practical tools for anyone who wants to understand why kindness matters and how compassion changes us. These are the kinds of questions and answers that go beyond podcasts and road trips. They go straight to the heart of why Faith and Good Courage exists in the first place.
