Summary

In this episode, we welcome Ben Stuart back to the show. He is a pastor and author. He serves as the lead pastor of Passion City Church, Washington D.C. Prior to joining Passion City Church, Ben served as the executive director of Breakaway Ministries on the campus of Texas A&M. Ben earned a master’s degree in historical theology from Dallas Theological Seminary. In this interview, we discuss the challenges in leading a church in Washington D.C., what he learned about young men once he moved to D.C., how to spread the Gospel in a city obsessed with power and control, how he makes sure his church is “man-friendly”, how he personally avoids the temptations that come with being a well-known pastor, why the rumors of “the death of marriage” have been greatly exaggerated, why we should put God first in all of our relationships, what advice he has for people that are dating (since the Bible does not explicitly address it), what he would say to people that feel “hurt” by so-called “Purity Culture”, what we get wrong about sex, and much more. Let’s get into it… Episode notes and links HERE. Donate to support our mission of equipping men to push back darkness. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

1:28.0	All right, guys, we've got a special return guest on the podcast today. His name is Ben Stewart. So he is a pastor and an author. He's the
1:32.9	pastor of Passion City Church in Washington, D.C., and prior to joining Passion City Church,

1:45.1	from Dallas Theological Seminary, just like my pastor, Mark Hitchcock. And also, more importantly than that,
1:49.8	we got to hang out at Saturated last year. So he was one of the pastors that went down to Church

2:11.0	interesting insights about what it's like doing ministry there in D.C. versus some other places,
2:15.2	him being from Texas and whatnot. And then also we talked about
2:18.3	some of the draws. Okay. So, you know, for someone like that, you're, you're in this city and you're
2:23.0	trying to gain power and what does that look like? And then for him as a pastor, it's like money's,
2:27.1	honey's and heresy. Like you're going to be pulled in all those different directions. So how do you stay away from that? But then also we talked about his new book, which is right
