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.
You can pre-order Jonny’s book wherever books are sold! Releases October 8, 2024!
