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 Dusty’s view of heaven has shifted.

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.
