Route 66 Chaplain

The Route 66 Chaplain

Faith. Stories. Second Chances.

The Route 66 Chaplain, that’s what they call me — not only because someone handed me that title, but because I believe that God handed me the keys and said, “Drive. Heal. Tell them what I’ve done for you.”

I didn’t fall from grace. I just took a detour. And somewhere along Route 66 — somewhere between broken dreams and desert sunrises, I found healing, purpose, and a story worth sharing.

This is NOT a Sermon. It’s a Roadmap for the Soul.

I’m Christopher Tuttle, also known as The Route 66 Chaplain — a storyteller, spiritual guide, and Route 66 Motivational Speaker traveling America’s Mother Road with tales of grace, grit, and second chances. A chaplain without the pulpit, a road-trip junkie with a suitcase full of stories, and a firm believer that grace travels in dusty boots, not polished shoes.

Although I can, I don’t preach sermons. I offer stories. Raw ones. True ones. The kind that meet people where they are, in churches, yes, but also in motel lobbies, diners, coffee shops, rest areas, community centers, and conference rooms. If you’ve ever felt like you took a wrong turn in life, I’ve got good news: God doesn’t waste detours.

Route 66 Chaplain Speaking Topics Include:

My talks are rooted in faith and second chances on Route 66, where the road itself becomes a metaphor for grace, struggle, and starting again. I speak on healing from grief through storytelling, offering real-life reflections for those who feel stuck between heartbreak and hope. For those navigating life’s long stretches of uncertainty, I explore spiritual resilience for weary travelers, grounded in scripture and everyday mercy. I share stories about finding grace in everyday detours, where God often shows up not in lightning, but in the quiet cup of motel coffee or the kindness of a stranger.

At the heart of it all is the road, the Gospel, and the God of in-between places — the sacred ground where redemption doesn’t wear a suit, and healing comes with dust on your shoes.

The Detour Wasn’t a Mistake: Grace in the unexpected
Healing Highway: What Route 66 taught me about faith, fear, and finding your way again
You’re Not Too Late: You’re Not Too Far Gone
Faith Without a Stage: Living it outside the spotlight
Roadside Grace: What strangers, sunsets, and silence taught me about God

Looking for a Route 66 motivational speaker with heart, humor, and a spiritual compass?

You’ve found him. I can speak at churches, retreats, recovery groups, and events where weary travelers need more than just a map… they need meaning.
My talks blend stories from the Mother Road with faith, grit, and second chances.

This isn’t polished podium preaching. It’s healing with boots on, hope in a motel cup, and grace served with a side of diner humor.

If your event needs a Route 66 motivational speaker who’s walked the detours, carries the dust, and still believes in miracles, I’m here — suitcase in hand.

Looking for a Christian speaker with a story, a faith-based keynote speaker with road dust on his boots, or a motivational guest speaker for churches, retreats, or recovery groups? You’ve found him.

As The Route 66 Chaplain, I offer more than inspiration — I bring real stories of grace, grit, grief, and healing from America’s backroads. I can speak to church congregations, grief and healing events, faith-based conferences, and support groups looking for something honest, heartfelt, and a little unexpected.

My talks don’t come from a polished pulpit — they come from lived experience. From long drives and lost turns. From motel coffee and second chances.

If your event needs a spiritual motivation speaker who walks the detours, carries the miles, and still believes God shows up in the in-between places — I’m here. Suitcase packed, mic in hand, story ready.
