In this episode of More Than Roommates, Scott, Derek, and Gabrielle explore what it looks like for married couples to value, support, and engage their single friends in meaningful ways. They reflect on how Scripture elevates singleness, how the church sometimes unintentionally devalues it, and how we can better reflect the love of Jesus—whether single or married. Scriptures:1 Cor 7:7-8MT 19:12PS 16:11MT 19:6Luke 8:21 Resources:Book – Single, Dating, Engaged, Married, by Ben StuartBook – Single Today, by Ryan WekenmanBook – Table for One, by Ben Pukas Questions to Discuss:1.

Is there more to life than this? - Ps Ben Stuart

Obeying God’s commands about sex (part two), plus Ben Stuart on breakups, engagement and marriage, and how do you prepare to be a stay-at-home mom? Featured musical artist: Zach Williams Roundtable: A Sexual Purity Reset (Part 2) Do you sometimes feel you’re the last Christian on earth who hasn’t had sex? Or you think God has bigger things to worry about than your sex life, so a little compromise here or there is no big deal. Maybe you’ve caved to sexual sin and are wondering if you’re a Christian at all. If any of these scenarios describe you, you’re not alone. God is pretty clear about His sexual standards and design, so why is it so hard to obey them? And in today’s culture, why should we? In part two of this no-holds-barred conversation, our guests discuss why church can be a difficult place to talk about sexual struggles, how sex in marriage is a big deal, and finding a future beyond sexual sin. Leave Us a Voicemail Watch This Segment on YouTube Culture: Moving From a Breakup to Marriage Most of us go through at least one breakup while dating, but is there a way to navigate a relationship’s demise without getting caught in a bad cycle of them? Pastor Ben Stuart broke up with a girlfriend in college and learned a few valuable lessons in the process. Breakups may be part of your journey through the relational seasons of being single, dating, getting engaged and getting married. But as Ben explains, it’s possible to survive a breakup (or several) and move toward marriage with confidence.

Obeying God’s commands about sex, plus Ben Stuart on battling adversity and temptation, and how to maximize your final year of college. Featured musical artist: Covenant Worship Roundtable: A Sexual Purity Reset (Part 1) Do you sometimes feel you’re the last Christian on earth who hasn’t had sex? Or you think God has bigger things to worry about than your sex life, so a little compromise here or there is no big deal. Maybe you’ve caved to sexual sin and are wondering if you’re a Christian at all. If any of these scenarios describe you, you’re not alone. God is pretty clear about His sexual standards and design, so why is it so hard to obey them? And in today’s culture, why should we? In part one of this no-holds-barred conversation, our guests open up about their sexual histories, grapple with the truths of God’s Word (even the tough parts), look forward with renewed hope, and cast a vision for finding both strength and grace in God’s forward-focused and for-our-good design for sex. Leave Us a Voicemail Watch This Segment on YouTube Culture: Fighting Temptation and Finding Rest We’re in a spiritual war against the world, our own sinful desires, and even Satan himself. We need to fight temptation, worthless pursuits, discouragement and adversity on every side. As fighters, our need for rest can be just as important as how we handle the battle — but where and when do we find this rest? Pastor Ben Stuart is passionate about helping young adults find intimacy with God through ancient rhythms and practices. He knows we can reject the enemy’s lies and embrace our true identity in Christ. Pushing through the struggle we are then afforded rest at the often unexpected pastures and streams that God provides. This discussion will help you start the journey.

Ben likes to run, and Donna doesn't, but if he had made that the issue while they were dating, they wouldn't be married today! He learned that he didn't *really* care about his girlfriend loving to run like he did, so it wasn't a dealbreaker! Ben Stuart's book, "Single, Engaged, Dating, Married," played an important part in the beginning of Sadie and Christian's dating relationship. Today, Ben and his wife, Donna, join Sadie to talk about all things singleness, how they started dating, how you know if the person you're dating is "the one," and why, in a new update of the book, Ben included a chapter on breaking up. Sadie talks about a defining moment for her when she fully intended to break up with Christian and how his reaction and statement completely changed her heart—she went from wanting to break up to wanting to marry him. Donna and Ben both share about their time apart when Ben asked for a pause and a letter-writing part for their relationship—and what that eventually proved to them both about the other. If you're in any of these phases, you won't want to miss this encouraging conversation about godly ways to approach finding a spouse.

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.

Do you embrace challenges or do you curse them? In this week's podcast episode, we listen to a clip from Ben Stuart (@ben_stuart_) of Passion City DC (@passioncitydc) where he talks about introducing his kids to the movie Karate Kid and the mind blowing realization they had during the movie. He is a great storyteller and we found so much depth to his analogy! In this compelling episode, we dive into the profound truth that Jesus tests us not to break us but to build us. In Romans 5:3-5, we read, "...we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us." In short, enduring trials is essential for personal growth and spiritual maturity, and we can learn how to embrace challenges as opportunities to deepen our faith and fortify our character. We acknowledge that true satisfaction and resilience come from facing and overcoming adversity. We thank God for allowing us to experience pain because with the proper perspective, it prepares us for our God-given destiny, preventing us from wasting our lives in shallow pursuits. Join us as we unpack the idea that real growth happens in the crucible of life's challenges, where we find strength, hope, and purpose. Whether your suffering is self-inflicted or a result of external circumstances, this episode will inspire you to seek God in the midst of it and emerge stronger and more faithful. Tune in to learn how to navigate life's trials with grace and discover the divine purpose behind your pain. Listen to the Instagram Reel here.

In today's bonus episode, Emma Dotter gives an overview of the book of Song of Solomon. The big idea being this: God's idea for relationships is always best. In a world explaining who to love and how to love, Song of Solomon teaches believers what love in the marriage context should look like, and shows how God's love for the church is compared to that of a marriage relationship.   Additional Scriptures in this podcast: Ephesians 5:22-33 Revelation 21:2 John 10:28-29, “No one will snatch them out of my hand.” John 10:11, “I am the Good Shepherd.”  Ben Stuart's sermon series on Song of Solomon: https://passioncitychurch.com/series/song-of-songs/  Got Questions summary of the Song of Solomon: https://www.gotquestions.org/Song-of-Solomon.html  NET Bible commentary on Song of Solomon: https://netbible.org/bible/Song+of+Songs+1

Donna Stuart is a good friend and mentor of Sadie's, and when they're together, they go deep FAST. (Isn't that the way it is with good friends?) Donna is married to Ben Stuart, the pastor of Passion City Church D.C., and she kicks things off by sharing that even though she first started working in ministry as a musician, the Lord had other plans for how He would ultimately use her life — and that started by her being fired from ministry! Donna and Sadie discuss how they've both learned they can't look to anyone else for validation when God has already justified us! While it's a normal, even natural thing to do — we've ALL been there! — that doesn't mean it's right or life-giving! Sadie shares the biggest lessons she's learned from social media and paying attention to the negative or positive engagement. And Donna relays an early-morning encounter she had with the Lord, which has Sadie forgetting she's still interviewing her! https://give.cru.org/huff or text HUFF to 71326 — Get a free copy of Sadie's book "Live on Purpose" with your gift!

Pastor Ben Stuart, Jon Harkey, and Rachel Halbach come together to discuss the importance of waiting on the Lord from the book of Isaiah. By being more intentional to steal away to places and spend more time with Jesus, we can go back to the root of why we were built: to rest and be restored, trusting Him to renew our strength.VERSES // Isaiah 40:27-31, Isaiah 30:15-18— Give towards what God is doing through Passion City Church: https://passioncitychurch.com/dc/give Subscribe to our channel to see more messages from Pastor Ben Stuart and Passion City Church. Follow @passioncity: https://www.instagram.com/passioncitydc/ Follow @ben_stuart_: https://www.instagram.com/ben_stuart_/ Passion City Church is a Jesus church with locations in Atlanta and Washington D.C.

Ben Stuart joins us from Passion City Church D.C. to talk about the three elements of fire (fuel, heat, and oxygen). These elements help us visually understand how individual commitment and communal action can occur through three elements of belief: intellectual, emotional, and social, leading to an exponential increase in people knowing Jesus. #faith #christian #sermon #passioncity #passioncityatlanta #atlanta #passioncitychurch #atlantachurch #christianity #Jesus #God — With Passion City Online, you can join us every Sunday live at 9:30a and 11:45a, and our gatherings are available on-demand starting at 7p!
