Around this time of year, it's not uncommon to see folks walking around on a Wednesday with what appears to be dirt smudged on their forehead. They have likely participated in an Ash Wednesday service. But what actually is Ash Wednesday and why is it significant? In this episode, we seek to answer these questions as well as share some of our own experiences with it and how we observe Ash Wednesday now. Mike gets a little dark and sad by talking about sin, death, and mortality while Bethany and Darby discuss fasting during the Lenten season.
