The pastor, podcaster, and ministry leader has nearly 10,000 followers on X. This specific video has had well over 30,000 views.

Many comments are in agreement with Ardavanis’ interpretation of Scripture. “So very true. Thank you for the reminder,” said one. Another offered, “It’s stunning to see so many trying to rationalize their disobedience.”

Someone else offered a slightly different perspective. “It’s not talking about specific individual words, a the second part is clearly broader. You can be uplifting while using cuss words. In the end it depends [on] the circumstances and the people involved.”

“Honestly, I’m irritated by ‘do this’ and ‘don’t do that’ Christianity. If we are wearing Jesus’ Yoke which is Holy Spirit, it’s pretty irrelevant what others think. In fact, Holy Spirit might be working on something really important when we get distracted by junk advice,” another comment read.

According to its website, Dial In Ministries “exists to train and equip Christians and Churches around the world by providing Biblical Resources that are both unwavering in their commitment to Scripture and creatively excellent.”

“Our mission is to see the lives of God’s children transformed by God’s Spirit working through His sufficient, clear, and authoritative Word,” the site continues.

In just three short years, Ardavanis has seen his podcasts and ministry resources being used by people around the world. The end users of these resources are diverse and unique in language, culture, background, and ministry focus, but they all have one thing in common: “a hunger for God’s Word.”

Ardavanis said, “My burden is to continue to herald God’s Word by using digital mediums to reach others with the truth of the Gospel and the treasures within God’s Word.”

Digital mediums such as podcasts and social media have paved the way for pastoral resources to reach individuals and churches looking for ways to discern what the Bible says.

The future goal of Ardavanis and Dial In Ministries is to “continue producing podcasts, videos, and in the future, print resources that teach, train and equip the next generation.”
