What significance, if any, do ashes have in your life? Are they just the dirty remains left by a forgotten fire, or do they symbolize something meaningful? Throughout history and across cultures and traditions, ashes have had a number of symbolic uses. Join Blake Smith in this episode of Awaken to God’s Presence, as he invites us into a season of repentance and self-reflection using ashes as the focus. Take the time to consider the significance of ashes in your own context and life circumstance, and what in you might be waiting to be transformed.
The scripture passage used in this episode was taken from the NRSV.
