Your Anxiety Isn’t Welcome Here | 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.

In this February episode, chaplain and storyteller Christopher Tuttle, known as the Route 66 Chaplain, explores the quiet, exhausting kind of anxiety that settles into the body long before the day begins. Not the loud panic that demands attention, but the steady hum that tightens the chest, crowds the mind, and follows us everywhere urgency is rewarded.

Through a roadside story shaped by time on Route 66, this episode offers space to breathe, slow down, and remember that anxiety is not your identity. It is information, a signal asking to be noticed with care rather than fought with force.

This episode includes:

• One original Healing Highway story rooted in Route 66
• Three gentle takeaways for carrying calm into everyday life
• A Healing Highway Challenge focused on intentional slowing
• A chaplain’s word for the soul, nothing preachy
• A quiet pause in Shamrock, Texas, at a place that reminds us we don’t have to hurry to matter

If life has been moving too fast, Your Anxiety Isn’t Welcome Here offers a reminder that healing often begins when we stop long enough to listen.

New episodes of Healing Highway release monthly on the first Sunday.

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.
