    Fight Like a Man: A Bold, Biblical Battle Plan for Personal Purity – Practical Strategies to Defeat Sexual Temptations and Restore Your Life

    “Win the war for purity. In a world that seeks to destroy sexual purity, the battle for holiness has never been fiercer nor the stakes higher. Sexual immorality has devastated too many men, damaged too many families, and marred the gospel’s testimony too many times. Now is the time to prepare yourself to fight.

    In Fight Like a Man, Emeal “E.Z.” Zwayne presents biblical truth for combatting the enemies of purity that seek to hold you captive in sin. Not content to just reveal your adversaries’ tactics, E.Z. also provides an arsenal of simple yet revolutionary strategies to equip you to conquer lust through the power of gospel-centered grace and the knowledge of God’s mind-blowing character. No matter your past, you can embrace the freedom available in Christ and the fullness of a life that honors God with every thought, word, and deed.

    There is hope on the battlefield of purity. Fight like the man God created you to be and join the ranks of those who have fought this battle and emerged as true spiritual victors.”

  • In this episode, Jonny Ardavanis breaks down the three primary catalysts for anxiety according to the teaching of Jesus in Matthew 6.

    In Matthew 6:25, Jesus says, "Do not be anxious..." but only after articulating that our treasures (6:19-20), our eyes (6:22-23), and our masters (6:24) often contribute to our anxieties.

    "When we treasure the gift more than the Giver Himself, our hearts inevitably grow anxious." - Jonny Ardavanis.

  • 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.
