Gas Stations and Grace is the first story in Healing Highway, a seven-part storytelling series written along Route 66 by Christopher Tuttle, host of Faith and Good Courage.

This episode explores burnout, stillness, and the quiet kind of grace that shows up when you stop trying so hard to be okay. Not in a church or a big breakthrough moment, but in an ordinary gas station, between pump number three and the candy aisle, where the noise fades and something inside finally exhales.

Healing Highway is about detours, self-discovery, and the ordinary places that hold more mercy than we expect, if we are willing to slow down long enough to notice.

What Is Healing Highway | 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.

Hosted by chaplain and storyteller Christopher Tuttle, known as the Route 66 Chaplain, Healing Highway shares quiet, honest stories written on the road and shaped by real life. These are not sermons or self-help talks. They are moments of breath, not marathons, meant to meet you where you are.

Once a month, on the first Sunday, Healing Highway offers:

• One original Healing Highway story
• Practical ways to carry it into everyday life
• A gentle challenge rooted in kindness
• A chaplain’s word for the soul, nothing preachy
• A quiet place along Route 66 worth slowing down for

If life has taken you on a detour, Healing Highway is here to remind you that detours are not failure. They are often where healing begins.

New episodes release monthly on the first Sunday.
