Is all anxiety sin? When does godly concern or care become sinful and ungodly anxiety? How can our legitimate stresses and pressures get elevated to a degree in which we no longer trust God and in turn, become sinfully worried?

In this episode, Jonny Ardavanis answers these crucial questions and explains the difference between care, concern, and anxiety.

In this episode, Jonny Ardavanis breaks down some of the themes from his forthcoming book, "Consider The Lilies: Finding Perfect Peace In The Character of God" (Zondervan) and examines some of the physical factors that contribute to our anxiety and despair.

Martyn Lloyd-Jones once said in his book "Spiritual Depression" that we are "embodied beings" and "we cannot separate the physical from the spiritual because we are body, soul, and mind."

It would be an extreme statement to say that the root cause of all anxiety is "always physical," but it would also be incorrect and unbiblical to not identify the reality that different factors such as loneliness, temperament, exhaustion, grief, trauma, and physical infirmity make us vulnerable and susceptible to anxiety.

These different factors never excuse an ungodly worry or lack of joy, but Lloyd-Jones explained that one of the first thing the anxious and despairing is to "know themselves" and to realize that our minds are not separated from our bodies.

In this episode, Jonny examines some Biblical characters, who although commended for their faithfulness, were vulnerable to anxiety because of various physical factors in their life.

In this new Dial In Ministries episode and series, Jonny Ardavanis and Hank Bowen discuss the reality that we live in an era that is often defined as “the age of anxiety.” So often our lives are a chronicle of pain, trouble, fear, and uncertainty - in that light, how does God respond to those like us in His word?

In this episode, Jonny details his main burden to write his forthcoming book, “Consider The Lilies: Finding Perfect Peace In The Character of God” (Zondervan) and begins to explain the main ways God responds to the anxious in the Bible.

If you are anxious, fearful, and despairing, this series is for you. Similarly, if you minister to those afflicted by anxiety and badgered by melancholy, our prayer is that this series would equip you to minister to those assigned to your care.

In this episode, Jonny Ardavanis discusses how we can discern God’s will, direction, or calling for our life.

Many people today ask: “What should I look for in a spouse? What career field should I pursue? Should I go into ministry or business?” At times, believers may be paralyzed by the abundance of opportunities before them and in turn, never end up making a decision at all.

In this episode, Jonny articulates that when we are already walking in holiness, God’s Spirit primarily directs us through our desires, our gifting, the input of others in our life, and even the needs we see around us.

The Lord is our Shepherd, He doesn’t lead us down paths of obscurity, He leads us in such a way that we can honor Him, be used by Him, and enjoy the life He has given to us under the sun.To pre-order Jonny’s forthcoming book entitled, “Consider the Lilies: Finding Perfect Peace In The Character of God” visit https://amzn.to/3zU9XJO

One of the most common questions asked today is: “How can I know God’s will?” Although we often desire to know God’s specific will for their life as it pertains to calling, marriage, dating, and so forth, many may fail to recognize that God’s will for our life is not something to be found, it’s something that needs to be obeyed. Only when we are walking in obedience to God’s revealed will can we expect to have any clarity on His specific guidance for our life

In this episode, Jonny Ardavanis breaks down the fundamental guideposts for discovering God’s will for your life.
