The Christina & Dusty Show

Christina shares about her experience managing endometriosis and her prom redo! Dusty shares about period pain and Grease: The Musical. Which segues into a conversation about social media, world-building as a marketer, and church history. (Yes, you read that right. We really went all over the place.) It’s a classic Christina and Dusty convo, and we hope you enjoy it! LISTEN ON: Apple Podcasts | Sp...

Christina is writing poetry again. Dusty 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 actu...

Oh, the heels of last week ’s mostly silly conversation, this week we got real deep, real fast! Dusty has a new sweater that made her question her political beliefs, and Christina 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 Du...

This week, Dusty ’s frustrated about the Instagram update no one asked for, and Christina 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 featu...

Christina has new hair (and a lot of feelings about it), and Dusty gets on her soapbox about trad wife culture, slow living, and what ambition is actually supposed to look like. They get into the pressures placed on men and women, why good friendship matters so much, and why we're all so grateful for long-form content these days. Dusty's got exciting book news, and Christina is still buried in her...

We start where we always do — in the thick of real life — with a rogue robin, a bird loose in Christina's attic, and Dusty getting hacked at 2am. Things get a little heavier from there as Christina opens up about something that's had her genuinely grieved and glued to her phone, which spills into one of those conversations about discernment and digital noise that we could honestly talk about for h...

LISTEN ON: Apple Podcasts | Spotify Dusty has a kamikaze robin trying to break in (Filbert, thank you very much), and Christina has a rose bush that’s carrying way more emotional weight than a plant should have to carry. Today, we talk about why feeding ourselves can be such a challenge, which dovetails into a lively conversation around self-care, soul care, and Dusty’s framework for not letting h...

Christina and Dusty talk about why they are pissed as punch. Dusty’s daughter got an eye injury, Christina’s husband is sick, and they both need a minute to wallow about well, everything. Once they (we) get it together, we pray and talk about how good our God is, even in the midst of trials, blasphemy, bad leadership (thanks, Trump), and whatever nonsense the world throws our way. LISTEN ON: Apple...

A conversation about why failure is an important part of creativity. Christina and Dusty talk about seasonal drink preferences and why Squarespace is better than Showit. Dusty shares updates about her solo Company Retreat and how she’s working on submitting a sample chapter to a literary agent. Christina shares a story about her neighbor’s butt and the importance of letting ourselves pursue creati...

Christina and Dusty share a candid and lively conversation about fasting, spiritual practices, and spiritual warfare. Christian shares about all that she’s learned through Lent, and Dusty shares about her conviction to start fasting and embrace this spiritual practice as God so graciously commands. LISTEN ON: Here on Substack, on Apple Podcasts , or on Spotify - or wherever you get your podcasts....

Christina and Dusty share an honest (albeit meandering) conversation about mental overload and theology (per our usual). Christina talks about how few of the biblical commentaries she’s reading for her Oxford studies are in English, and Dusty shares a few tweaks in her routine that have made all the difference. Plus, we have a lengthy discussion about Firefly and Gilmore Girls, because who doesn’t...

Dusty and Christina share health and business updates. And we explore our approaches to Bible study routines, spiritual discipline, and Christina shares what she's learned about fasting. Enjoy!

We meant to come back with a plan… but instead you’re getting a very on-brand mix of theology, life updates, Oxford ramblings, sick kids, delayed dreams, and a surprisingly deep dive into how to read the Bible. Also: Dusty is writing a book, Christina is becoming deliciously academic , and neither of us fully knows what we’re doing. But we’re trusting God anyway! LISTEN ON: Apple Podcasts | Spotif...

Woah. It’s been far too long. But we’re back! We recorded this episode in November (??)… of 2025. Soooooo, we have a lot to catch you guys up on to say the very least, which you know as well as I that we never do. So, we have 4 episodes locked and loaded, catching you all up on the last year or so of what God’s been doing in our lives, how we’re growing, and what we’re working on! Make sure you su...

LISTEN ON: Apple Podcasts | Spotify | Here on Substack Oh, hey, guys and gals! We’re back with another episode!! This episode was recorded in early August, so much of what we share has long passed in one way or another. So, consider this the lore behind Dusty’s Company Retreat and Christina’s Oxford Journey ! For the bulk of the episode, we discuss the nuances of how beauty, fashion, and creativit...

This episode is a bit all over the place in the very best way. We talk about Christian’s experience in her Oxford interview, have LOTS of audio troubles (that hopefully you don’t hear), and laugh a whole lot! We also took turns coaching each other, which will become a regular segment. Christian helped Dusty overcome some mindset blocks around writing and making the time to write, and Dusty coached...

We have both always wanted to go to Bible college. Aaaaand we’ve both always wanted to write books. But Dusty was the one constantly pursuing Biblical training, and Christina was the one who got an MA in Creative Writing. We for sure thought Dusty would go to Bible college first and that Christina would be the first one to get a literary agent. But that’s not how it happened. Within weeks of each...

Welcome to Part 2 of a real honest talk about discernment, spiritual warfare, and what it looks like to get things wrong sometimes. Listen to Part 1 here. In the aftermath of Christina’s viral Enneagram essay , her and Dusty look at what it actually means to employ discernment — especially when landing on the “right answer” isn’t straightforward. So after a long story made much longer, we wanted t...

Welcome to Part 1 (you can listen to Part 2 here) of a real honest talk about discernment, spiritual warfare, and what it looks like to get things wrong sometimes. Christina went viral in March for an essay she NEVER expected to write: a pretty a pretty hot take on a topic that gets Christians on both sides of the argument pretty worked up. And it threw the concept of discernment into a whole new...

When you spend ages working on something, you launch it, and you log onto Instagram… to see someone else doing the EXACT same thing. *cue facepalm* In this episode, we talk about battling imposter syndrome and scarcity mindset by grounding our theology in God’s abundance and clarifying what we ACTUALLY mean when we say we’ve been “called” to do something. Welcome to today’s long story made MUCH lo...

In their typical long-winded fashion, Christina & Dusty kick off their podcast by exploring why so many Christians struggle to read their Bible — and why it's so important to approach Scripture with joy and intentionality. They also look at practical tips for creating a Bible-habit that feels less heavy and more fun! Tips for reviving a Bible-reading habit: 1. If Bible-reading is feeling like a ch...

Welcome to The Christina & Dusty Show , where two long-winded ladies tell long stories much longer (but always with an adorably quirky flare) for the purpose of modelling what it looks like to follow Jesus messily and joyfully through the gift of friendship. Christina & Dusty are both writers, creatives, wives, business-owners, and Bible enthusiasts who are passionate about living out their faith...
