  • A Personal Tribute to John MacArthur - How He Impacted My Life and Ministry | Jonny Ardavanis
    Jul 15 2025

    "I loved John MacArthur. He was my friend, my mentor, and my pastor. Hard to put into words.

    Although there are a number of words that you could employ to describe him, no word encapsulates his life and ministry as - faithful.

    Nothing about him was passionless. He was a great man. A hero. And yet, so normal and kind.

    Grateful he is in glory. He ran the race and now he joins the crowd of witnesses.

    A life well lived." - Jonny Ardavanis
