About this listen

Read by the author.

Find freedom from anxiety as you lift your gaze from the problems and pressures of this world to the changeless and powerful character of your heavenly Father.

Is my cancer back? Is my job secure? Will I ever get married? Are my children safe? Our lives are often a chronicle of trouble, pain, and uncertainty--and God's children yearn for peace. Many who wrestle with anxiety and despair know that the Bible calls them to "trust God," but what does that even mean?

In Consider the Lilies, pastor, podcaster, and speaker Jonny Ardavanis shows us God's consistent response to those who are worn down by worry and badgered by melancholy: He proclaims His own character. Drawing on that perspective-shifting model, Jonny offers biblical insight on how to ground our thoughts and fix our gaze on who God is.

Compassionate, biblical, and timely, Consider the Lilies explores:

  • How dwelling on the character of God is the surest pathway to peace
  • The root causes of anxiety and worry in the Bible
  • What the Bible says about the integration of our physical and spiritual lives
  • Why worry grieves God's heart as our Father

Consider the Lilies is for those who long for liberation from their anxiety and fear--and desire to deeply know the God they are called and enabled to trust. If you are starved for hope and gasping for peace, consider the character of your heavenly Father, who welcomes all who are anxious, fearful, and melancholy to trust in Him.

Reflection questions are included in the PDF enhancement.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Scripture Saturated

Well written and researched from God’s Word. Jonny is a great communicator. He takes the large theological truths of God’s character and shows us how they are personal to us believers and applicable to every circumstance of our daily lives.

Powerful Truth

I love everything about this book! It truly is exceptional in every way!!! The author presents his case clearly, dives deep into the character of our God and gives every biblical example to fortify our trust in the God who saves and sustains. Incredibly well written and organized, he tells relevant stories, extracts pertinent quotes, provides all the scripture references and writes with a quippy style that made me think hard, reflect seriously and laugh. I thoroughly enjoyed every single chapter. It is dense material, so there is a lot to absorb, but I took my time to marinate in these rich truths. Consider The Lilies is a special work, one I will treasure and definitely reread. THANK YOU!!!

A masterful and relevant presentation of solid theological concepts.

This book stands out because it offers practical help! The author shares useful tools and strategies to help you find peace and joy in your life. Using biblical examples, personal stories, and guided reflections, he makes the content easy to read and supports your growth in your relationship with God.

"Consider the Lilies" serves as a comforting companion for anyone facing anxiety or uncertainty. It gently reminds us that true peace and joy comes from our connection with the loving God who cares for us, rather than from our circumstances. Enjoy this uplifting journey!

The one statement that impacted me the most was, as a Christian, prayer is one of the greatest privileges we have to be able to communicate with God.

Love for Christ and how to be filled with unspeakable Joy!

The beginning of the book being read by Scottish man almost deterred me from diving deeper. I’m hearing impaired so other accents are hard to understand. Was so glad the rest of the book was read by the author.

The Best Book on the Gospel and Anxiety

This book was life changing. Going to need a hard copy after listening to annotate. The author is an incredible narrator as his passion for the Lord, people, and the topic are evident. A must read and a must listen!

The truth of God’s Word revives the soul

This book came in to my life at the perfect time, thanks to the Lord’s providence. The truth from God’s word that is in this book was a powerful first step out of my current anxiety and depression. I hope many others can find this book and the hope and peace the Father provides in His character.

Enjoyed Consider The Lilies

The author, Jonny Ardavanis, offers biblical insight on how to ground our thoughts and keep our eyes fixed on God. Book’s focus is “not being anxious.” Although, the book can also be appreciated for how each chapter focuses on God’s Character and gives scripture chapter and verse, which provides the resources for Christians to remember who they are in Christ.
