Well, howdy. Welcome to the Breakaway Summer podcast. I'm Timothy Ateague, director of Breakway Ministries.

Breakway is a weekly Bible study on the campus of Texas A&M University to find out more information about Breakway or to make a donation, you can simply get online

at breakaway ministries.org.

Over the next four weeks, we're going to have the opportunity to talk to some old friends

and enjoy connecting with some new friends as we gear up for the fall semester.

So we're going to have a chance to talk to people like founding

director Greg Mott and former director Ben Stewart and former worship leaders Jeff and Jordan Johnson.

It's going to be a great time. So I hope you track with us for the next four weeks as we gear up

for the fall semester launching on Tuesday, August 29th.

We had a great conversation last week with founding director, Pastor Greg Mott.

And this week, I'm excited to sit down with former director and pastor, Ben Stewart.

Enjoy the time. Well, I'm sitting here today with Ben Stewart,

the former director of Breakaway Ministries, and now the pastor of Passion City Church, D.C. Ben,

thanks so much for spending a little time today. Welcome back to the

Breakaway podcast. Thanks, man. It's awesome to be back. So sitting here with the current

reigning director of Breakway. Dude, this is a joy. I love any opportunity I get to spend time with you. I like to say that you are one of the

godliest people I know, one of the wisest people that I know, and one of the best communicators

that I know. So I love that we just have a chance to sit and talk and to allow our listeners to hear from

you again. So thanks for spending a little time. Why don't you just start by giving us a

little snapshot of what the last year has looked like for you since leaving breakway?

Yeah, well I would say one part of that has been watching you just crush it, man. It's been awesome to see what I felt confident was going to happen, happen, and that is you step in and really lead breakaway into a new day. And so I'm not just saying that because you invited me out here.

Like, for real, man.
