Highway Hymns and Motel Psalms | Faith and Good Courage

Healing Highway is a monthly reflection from the Faith and Good Courage project, created for people who need a pause more than a push.

Some of the best church Christopher Tuttle has ever had didn't happen in a church. It happened behind the wheel somewhere between Needles and Barstow. On the edge of a motel bed with a Gideon Bible in the drawer and a neon sign blinking through the window. On a gas station parking lot at 6:15 in the morning watching the sky slowly wake up over the desert. This episode is for anyone who has ever found something sacred in a place that didn't look sacred at all — and wasn't quite sure what to make of it.

Highway Hymns and Motel Psalms is a quiet reminder that grace doesn't wait for the right building or the right hour. It shows up on the road, in the margins, in the ordinary moments most people drive past without slowing down. This episode gives you room to notice what's already there.

If you've been looking for something holy in all the wrong places, maybe it's been in the right ones all along. New episodes of Healing Highway release monthly on the first Sunday.

🎙️ Healing Highway is a series from Faith and Good Courage. Stories of grace, grit, and second chances written and read by Christopher Tuttle, The Route 66 Chaplain.

Healing Highway is a monthly reflection from the Faith and Good Courage project, created for people who need a pause more than a push.

Some seasons of life don't announce themselves as hard. They just quietly wear you thin. You're moving, you're showing up, you're getting through the day, but somewhere along the way you lost touch with yourself. This episode is for anyone carrying that kind of tired. The kind without a clear name. The kind that doesn't lift just because the weekend arrived. Christopher Tuttle draws on the unfinished road, the stretch of Route 66 he has never driven, as a reminder that incompleteness is not the same as failure, and that sometimes the healing is not in what you have finished but in knowing there is still more road ahead.

This episode offers three gentle takeaways for finding your footing again, a Healing Highway Challenge about reclaiming something you have set aside, and a chaplain's word for the soul that meets you exactly where you are, mid-journey and still moving.

This episode includes:

• One original Healing Highway story rooted in Route 66
• Three gentle takeaways for carrying the theme into everyday life
• A Healing Highway Challenge focused on reclaiming what feels unfinished
• A chaplain's word for the soul, nothing preachy
• A quiet pause along Route 66 at Hackberry, Arizona

If your spirit is running low right now, you do not need a grand plan. You just need a little room to unravel. New episodes of Healing Highway release monthly on the first Sunday.

Anywhere Between Chicago to L.A., One Lonely Highway Might Just Save Your Sanity is the fourth story in Healing Highway, a monthly storytelling series written and read by Christopher Tuttle, host of Faith and Good Courage.

In this episode, Christopher shares a deeply personal journey along Route 66 — not in search of adventure, but in search of space. What unfolds is a quiet return to self, shaped by long miles, small towns, diner conversations, and the kind of silence that allows something honest to surface.

Healing Highway isn’t about fixing everything. It’s about stepping far enough away from the noise to remember who you are underneath it.
