Lenten Series Ep. 1/6 · Awakened by the Word · From Dust to Desire: Beginning the Journey of Conversion

Lent begins not with effort, but with truth.On Ash Wednesday, we are marked with ashes — not to shame us, but to clarify us. You are dust. You are fragile. You are dependent. And you are loved.In this opening episode of Awakened by the Word, we explore why conversion does not begin with strategy or discipline, but with honesty. Before sacrifice. Before renewal. Before change. There is remembering.Ashes break the illusion of self-sufficiency.And in that truth, desire awakens again.
