This past weekend, many of us reflected upon Good Friday and celebrated the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Sunday. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the most important message that anyone will ever hear. But what happens when the message of the gospel is misconstrued or even absent? What happens when people are encouraged to become part of a group in an altar call in hopes of entire family salvations rather than preaching the gospel to a congregation? Join me as we look at a recent teaching concerning Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday, and I make a plea to those attending V1 Church.

Former England superstar football captain David Beckham recalls being sent off the field in the 1998 World Cup Finals: “It was probably the longest walk in my life…looking back, I'm not sure what thoughts were going through my mind: it was a swirl of fear, guilt, anger, worry, and confusion. “My head was spinning…I walked into the dressing room. The rules stated that I had to stay in there for the remainder of the match. England lost. We were out of the World Cup. “When the England players came back into the dressing room, no one breathed a word to me. There was almost complete silence. I could feel my stomach tightening even more. I gulped, breathed in, and gulped again. I was in a packed changing room, but I had never felt so lonely in my life. I was isolated and afraid...I was trapped in my own sense of guilt and anxiety.” Men often think we are wired to be tough, strong, “just deal with it” guys, but the reality is that many of us struggle with deep concerns, fears, and anxieties. We often suffer alone, isolated and lonely. But we don't have to deal with this on our own. Today, we'll examine the starting point for handling anxiety. Our guest today is Jonny Ardavanis. He is the lead pastor of Stonebridge Bible Church and the founder and president of Dial In Ministries, a ministry that provides biblical resourcing for the next generation. He is passionate about people coming to know and love Jesus Christ as they pursue a deeper understanding of His Word. Jonny lives in Franklin, TN, with his wife and two daughters. Jonny has recently written a book called Consider the Lillies: Finding Perfect Peace in the Character of God. This is no gardening book; rather, it points us to an antidote to fear and anxiety in the unshakable and timeless character of God. He shares from his personal struggles with anxiety, explores how guys navigate anxiety and fear, references the many men in Scripture who grapple with these same things, and most importantly, why knowing God's character as Lord and Father is so important to helping us navigate anxiety, worry, and fear.

Jonny Ardavanis joins Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar to discuss finding peace in the character of God, as explored in his book, Consider the Lilies. Though he never initially saw himself as a pastor, he now serves full-time in Tennessee, driven by a desire to offer hope in an anxious world. In full time ministry Jonny observed widespread struggles with anxiety and depression, prompting him to explore these issues from a biblical perspective. He emphasizes that anxiety isn't limited to young people; it's a pervasive issue that many try to escape by staying busy. However, busyness often worsens the problem, as true peace comes from deep reflection on God's character.Jonny argues that anxiety is like a ski lift that never reaches the top of the mountain—an ever-present tension beneath the surface. The guys along with Jonny talk about slowing down and contemplating God's attributes to combat this. They suggest that believers often fill their lives with neutral things that offer no real help, leading to an underdeveloped view of God's attributes. In Scripture, when God addresses the anxious, He reveals His character, reminding them that He is an ever-present help in times of trouble. Jonny emphasizes that God's sovereignty cannot be separated from His character. For instance, when David was fleeing from Saul, he found comfort in knowing that God understood him deeply, which calmed his anxious heart. Jonny highlights that even Jesus, fully human, experienced deep sorrow and distress, showing empathy and tender care for the anxious.When addressing those who feel condemned by their anxiety, Jonny advises starting with questions and acknowledging that fear is a human experience. Christians should lean on their community and cast their cares on God, who is stronger and wiser. Jonny also addresses the modern epidemic of loneliness, noting that anxiety often isolates people from what they need most—being known and loved. He encourages people to be open with God and the local church, reminding them that they don't have to bear their burdens alone. Jesus, who knew true grief, betrayal, and abandonment, identifies with us in our suffering. The group concludes that knowing God leads to experiencing the peace of God. This relationship is both a privilege and a foundation for hope. We can be confident that God will not leave us, because He forsook His own Son on the cross to secure our relationship with Him. This assurance, coupled with understanding the character of God, draws believers into a deeper intimacy and trust in Him.Send us a text Thanks for listening!

Christians are supposed to fearlessly speak God's truth no matter the consequences — so why are so many pastors afraid to say anything about the stakes of the 2024 election? Stonebridge Bible Church pastor Jonny Ardavanis is not one of those cowardly pastors, and joins Charlie to talk about the importance of opposing evil by speaking out. Rich Baris talks about the signs that Pennsylvania could be slipping away from Kamala, while Michigan has once again become highly competitive.

In this episode, Mark Spence, VP of Living Waters, sits down with Jonny Ardavanis and discuss the topic of abortion. The main question one must ask regarding child in the womb is simple, yet profound - that being: What is it? As always, whenever we mention the evil of abortion, we always want to remind our listeners that Jesus' mercy is greater than our sin and He can take our scarlet sin and make us “white as snow.”Watch VideosVisit the Website Buy Consider the LiliesFollow on Instagram

Today, we talk about Ray Ortlund, Emeritus Council member of the Gospel Coalition's endorsement of Kamala Harris and how voting for Kamala Harris is inherently anti-Christian. We also discuss Jonny Ardavanis, Teaching Pastor at Stonebridge Bible Church's, and Josh Howerton, Senior Pastor of Lakepointe Church's recent sermons coming out against the evils of the Democratic party. And there are how many Christians that don't intend to vote this November? Now more than ever, the Christian vote is essential in stemming the tide of evil in our country.

It's easy to look at the stressors of life that cause us worry, anxiety, and fear, and to question if God is really going to help us get through it. I love how my friend Jonny in his new book, Consider the Lilies, explores how we can have hope and peace because of the person of Christ. God's character gives us the hope and confidence we need to overcome every battle, even the ones that happen in our heads and hearts.GET JONNY'S BOOK HERE: https://a.co/d/6fL6WbUORDER MY BOOK HERE: www.kirby-kelly.com/you-can-be-free
