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.

Toxic Empathy
- How Progressives Exploit Christian Compassion

Story
In Toxic Empathy, Allie Beth Stuckey argues that empathy has become a tool of manipulation by left-wing activists who bully people into believing that they must adopt progressive positions to be loving. She explores the five most heated issues through which toxic empathy is deployed: abortion, gender, sexuality, immigration, and social justice. Progressives use catchy mantras to present their perspective as empathetic, like “abortion is healthcare,” “love is love,” or “no human being is illegal,” but in each case, they ignore the other side of the moral equation.

As cultural hostility toward Christianity intensifies, many Christians have grown more reluctant to advocate for biblical values in the public square. But our perseverance for the common good—a good defined by God alone—is more important than ever in a culture that embraces darkness. When Culture Hates You is a call for Christians to unashamedly pursue righteousness in society out of our love for others.

Is there a new reformation happening in the church? It depends on who you ask. The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) is a popular and fast-growing new movement of Christians who emphasize signs and wonders, and teach that God is giving new revelation through new apostles and prophets. But is this biblical Christianity? In Counterfeit Kingdom, apologists and NAR experts Holly Pivec and Douglas Geivett show how the NAR’s key tenets distort the gospel, twist the Scriptures, are influenced by New Age practices, and lead faithful Christians to shipwreck their faith.

But God's light still shines—and He is calling us to shine His light in the growing darkness. In The Eclipse of God, bestselling author Erwin Lutzer exposes our nation's disastrous efforts to redefine God in its own image.

Sadly, most of us struggle to set aside time to pray. But, fear not, this is not another book that will pile on the guilt, simply saying pray better and more often. Instead, Michael Reeves shows us not only why prayer is so essential, but also how we can enjoy it too. Taking his cue from Calvin’s definition that prayer is ‘the chief exercise of faith’, Reeves helps us understand that prayer should be a natural expression of our faith. Just as faith is awakened as we grasp the wonders of the gospel, so prayer follows as our hearts respond to these glorious truths.

Story
As cultural hostility toward Christianity intensifies, many Christians have grown more reluctant to advocate for biblical values in the public square. But our perseverance for the common good—a good defined by God alone—is more important than ever in a culture that embraces darkness. When Culture Hates You is a call for Christians to unashamedly pursue righteousness in society out of our love for others.

Just as the moon obscures the sun's light during an eclipse, today's radical secularism has obscured the light of God. But God's light still shines—and He is calling us to shine His light in the growing darkness. In The Eclipse of God, bestselling author Erwin Lutzer exposes our nation's disastrous efforts to redefine God in its own image. The resulting damage has been so great that confusion about God has even crept into the church.

Imagine a well-read man. Do you see a machine dressed in tweed gorging on information? This book is not about becoming that kind of reader. The well-read man wakes up and consults with Moses on the way to work. He sips his coffee and ponders the wisdom of Hannibal's elephants crossing the Alps. He turns furrowed-browed philosophers upside down and takes their lunch money.

Modern culture is increasingly outspoken against a biblical understanding of what it means to be a woman. Even some Christians, swayed by the LGBTQ+ movement, have rejected God’s word on issues of sexuality and gender in favor of popular opinion. In light of these pressures, it’s more important than ever to help women see the truth about who God created them to be. In this powerful book, Rosaria Butterfield uses Scripture to confront 5 common lies about sexuality, faith, feminism, gender roles, and modesty often promoted in our secular culture today.

Story
This world has declared war on our children. Every day, on a multitude of battlefronts, Satan is deploying weapons of mass corruption against our children. Modern culture has been systematically designed with an agenda that is anti-God, anti-Christ, and anti-Scripture, intended to corrupt young and impressionable hearts and minds. Christian parents cannot simply float passively along with the drift of our culture. As God’s people, we need to teach our children God’s Word; give them wise and biblical guidance; and above all, show them our extravagant love.

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.
