20. Homeless butter and other nonsense

Christina [https://christinalynnwallace.com] is writing poetry [https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZZ3iZ_ormU/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==] again. Dusty [https://dustyhegge.com] teaches Christina how to brew the perfect pour-over. And we both have a whole lot to say about nothing in particular. We cover UK farming (in response to the newest season of Clarkson's Farm), the importance of fashion, the ball Christina is GIDDY to attend, and honestly? I forgot what else. We cover a lot of ground, laugh a lot, and say very little of actual importance. Enjoy! → SUBSCRIBE (and comment!)

19. When heaven sounds boring

Oh, the heels of last week [https://open.substack.com/pub/thechristinaanddustyshow/p/18-bite-the-weenie?r=bjm5e&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true]’s mostly silly conversation, this week we got real deep, real fast! Dusty [https://dustyhegge.com] has a new sweater that made her question her political beliefs, and Christina [https://christinalynnwallace.com] shares about her connection to Scottish heritage. This segues into a wonderful conversation around biblical history, the importance of reverence in worship, and how apathy is the death of - well, most things - and how Dusty’s view of heaven has shifted. LISTEN ON: Apple Podcasts [https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-christina-dusty-show/id1830262851] | Spotify [https://open.spotify.com/show/4Qt5jdrooK037zDtdZ7THR?si=e3a4314ff91c4a0f] → scroll for the chapter breakdown + links CHRISTINA’S LINKS: Website [https://christinalynnwallace.com/] | Substack [https://substack.com/@christinalynnwallace] | Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/christinalynnwallace] DUSTY’S LINKS: Website [https://dustyhegge.com/] | Instagram [https://instagram.com/dustyhegge] | Substack [https://dustyhegge.substack.com/] Subscribe for free to join us every week, chatting about theology, creativity, business, and whatever else we can’t stop talking about. WHAT WE DISCUSSED: * Dusty had a full political values crisis before buying an American flag sweater and bought it anyway. * Christina found a Scottish poet thirty minutes before recording and ended up grieving a cultural heritage she can’t quite claim. * Losing any real sense of cultural roots might be why so many American evangelicals can read the Bible their whole lives and still miss the point. * Dusty burst into tears during communion as a teenager while her peers snickered * The pendulum between white-knuckle legalism and “God loves me anyway” apathy keeps swinging, and the American church might be living out the consequences right now. * Dusty used to genuinely not want to go to heaven, and C.S. Lewis is largely why that changed. * There’s a yellow Tinkerbell dress Christina can’t wear to her Oxford summer ball, and what that opened up about existing in a body nobody sexualizes.

18. Desiring more levity

This week, Dusty [https://dustyhegge.com]’s frustrated about the Instagram update no one asked for, and Christina [https://christinalynnwallace.com] has thoughts about the final season of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. But most of our conversation centers around pop culture, the need for digital boundaries, and a desire for more light-hearted conversations in the online space. WHAT WE DISCUSSED: * Dusty’s reaction to Instagram’s new disappearing content feature is a face that says everything you need to know. * Why the bot purge on Instagram might actually be the beginning of social media collapsing in on itself. * The question every parent is quietly wrestling with — when do you actually give your kid a phone, and what do you do in the meantime. * Why Substack being desktop-first might be its most underrated feature, and what that means for people trying to break a scrolling habit. * The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel ending has people divided — and it says a lot about how you see women and ambition. * Tolkien vs. George R.R. Martin as a proxy for two completely different beliefs about whether humans are capable of redemption. * Dusty got banned from watching Grease as a child for repeating something Rizzo said, and she has not recovered.
