HOPE OUT LOUD

Community Events and Lifestyle Apparel for the Overcomer.  

Giving HOPE a Platform

People die every day from suicide, drug addiction, violence or live in isolation because of their shame. Ashes to Rubies is for the underdog who refuses to be defined by their struggle, and the notion that life is just about surviving. Ashes to Rubies is for the type of person that has always had a deep desire to use their pains and gains to elevate and inspire others. The person that will not rest until they have conquered their demons and are living a life designed on purpose.  

By courageously sharing our stories, we invite people to come out of shame into HOPE.

We are overcomers. We are THE FEARLESS AND THE TRUE.

About Us

Ashes to Rubies was founded by Jon Ruby, a former addict/criminal turned preacher and community organizer. Jon entered sobriety in 2006 and was giving hope for a new way of living. His marriage and family were restored. In 2008 Jon organized a community event called Breaking the Chains, featuring exNFL player and motivational speaker, Alvin Powell. In 2016 he organized the first Ashes to Rubies show.
