Somewhere on Route 66, the horizon kept running away from me — until I found a young family stranded with a flat. What started as a quick roadside fix turned into something much deeper: shared stories, a shy little girl, and one unexpected word that hit home — “Papa.”

In this episode of Roadside Notes, a Faith and Good Courage Journal Reading, The Route 66 Chaplain reflects on how the smallest gestures — a jack, a story, a hug — can turn inconvenience into grace.

🛞 Because sometimes the miracle isn’t the fix, it’s the stopping.

In “Being Seen and Heard,” Christopher shares a quiet moment in a lab chair that turns into a lesson about calling, humility, and the sacred work of listening. A traveling phlebotomist—“a floater”—meets a floating chaplain, and together they remind us most people aren’t hunting for fixes; they’re longing to be seen and truly heard. Sometimes the gospel fits on a Post-it, and sometimes grace just needs a willing messenger. Recorded on the road in Western Arizona. 

Welcome to the premiere episode of Roadside Notes, a Faith and Good Courage Journal Reading by Christopher Tuttle, The Route 66 Chaplain.

In this first episode, “Faith and Money,” Christopher shares the story behind why Roadside Notes exists — an honest reflection on calling, purpose, and learning to serve where you are.

Recorded along Route 66 in Western Arizona, this episode combines storytelling, spiritual reflection, and gentle music underscoring to create a few quiet miles of grace.

🎧 Roadside Notes brings the written words of the Faith and Good Courage Journal to life — short, soulful readings for travelers, seekers, and anyone who needs a reminder that hope still travels with us.
