Stuart grew up in a Christian home and was exposed to the Gospel at a young age, but at that point, Jesus and his Gospel were just "assets" to believe in, in order to fly under the radar. It wasn't until college that God, through a faithful group of guys, granted gifts of faith and repentance to Stuart. It was at this time that he turned from his sins and trusted in Jesus' sinless life, substitutionary death, and glorious resurrection for the forgiveness of his sins. Stuart is married to his wife Lauren and they have four children: Payton Anne, Owen, Kaitlyn, and Nathan. He is attending Reformed Theological Seminary where he is pursuing a Masters of Divinity. Stuart also loves football and roots for the Tennessee Volunteers and the Washington Redskins.
