Welcome to Faith and Good Courage — a podcast for soul-searchers, road-wanderers, and anyone just trying to find their next right step.Hosted by a non-denominational chaplain with a love for Route 66 and the quiet wisdom found along the way, this show is spiritual but not preachy, honest but never heavy. Each episode is a roadside reflection — part travelogue, part therapy, part tender reminder that you’re not walking alone.Here, we share stories from the road, moments of grace in forgotten places, and the kind of courage that doesn’t roar — it whispers, “try again tomorrow.” Whether you&#39;re running on half a tank or just trying to see through the fog, there’s room for you at this table.Episodes release on YouTube in video form, with audio available here for those listening on the go.Kindness for the road, courage for the miles.— Faith and Good Courage

A portrait of waiting, loss, and the deep courage it takes just to keep showing up.

In a Gallup bus station, one man stays while everyone else leaves. His quiet presence, a young traveler’s uncertainty, and the wisdom found in waiting remind us that sometimes staying is as brave as leaving.
