— Why he’s one of the greats
Make them turn the pages, fill the blanks, and hear every point twice before you pray.
The podcast-and-pulpit era of young Reformed evangelicals. Jonny Ardavanis grew up a pastor’s son, studied accounting and finance, and started preaching as a chaplain in a juvenile hall before campus ministry at The Master’s University and a pulpit in Franklin, Tennessee. He took his church through John’s Gospel a few verses at a time and was still in it 27 months later. His secret: he preaches like a Bible study leader with a stadium voice. Every sermon is a chain of “turn with me” passages, because he wants people to “see it with your own eyes,” and he keeps the room working by leaving the last word of a verse for them to finish (“Yahweh what? Reigns”). Numbered points, a quoted Puritan or Ryle, and a joke about Google Images or Larry Bird sit side by side. Then he recaps every point in one breath before he prays.
