Holy Chaos on Tap - Cars: Humility and God’s Detour Plan

We all make plans and then fatherhood, career shifts, and responsibility change the route.

In Cars, Lightning McQueen believes speed and success define his worth. One unexpected detour lands him in Radiator Springs, where slowing down becomes the very thing that forms his heart.

In this episode of Holy Chaos on Tap, we explore how God uses detours to teach humility, presence, and a deeper understanding of vocation, especially for dads.

Inside this episode:

  1. 🛣️ Dad Fail Confessional — Nick talks about getting married, his mom passing before the wedding and being impatient at bedtime with kids
  2. 🎬 Pop Culture Dive — ambition, identity, and humility in Cars
  3. 📖 Scripture Moment (NABRE) — how God directs our steps through unexpected roads
  4. 🧉 Barstool Theology — why detours aren’t punishments, but formation
  5. 🙏 A closing prayer for dads learning to slow down and redefine success

If you’re a dad navigating a slowdown you didn’t choose; parenting, career, or life, this episode offers encouragement, perspective, and faith-centered wisdom.

🍻 Raising kids. Raising glasses. Raising faith.

About your host

Profile picture for Nick B

Nick B

My name is Nick and I am a "cradle" Catholic doing my best to raise three little saints! Currently I am a little over 5 years into the project, still learning how to juggle kid messes, bedtime (anytime) meltdowns and finding God's presence in the middle of all the family chaos.

When the day comes to an end, with a pint (or glass) in hand and the chaos has calmed down, I like to pause to really see all the blessings from God.

Through Holy Chaos on Tap, I want to share real stores about my journey in fatherhood, faith and finding the holy in the chaos! Join me as I laugh at my own dad fails, discuss what the Church has to say about family life and raise a glass with my fellow parents who are trying to live their vocations with hope, humor and grace.
