What’s working on Instagram right now for Christian authors, leaders, and ministry-minded business owners

Listen, I know we ALL have a love-hate relationship with Instagram. In today’s episode of Voice Memos from Dusty, I’m sharing what’s been working for me on Instagram (and spoiler: it involved Threads too!) and my approach to using Instagram for my business - without burning myself out in the process.

I also share a life update, some exciting news about the Company Retreat, and my new Wordfle obsession. It’s a fun one for the Christian author and ministry-minded business owner. I hope you enjoy!

  • The difference between fast growth and sustainable visibility

  • What’s actually working on Threads right now—and why it’s helping Instagram growth

  • How to think about Instagram Stories as relationship-building, not visibility

  • Why resharing feed posts to Stories often hurts performance (and what to do instead)
