Cincinnati's own, Graeter's Ice Cream, just might have the best scoop on the planet. It's made with fresh ingredients the old-fashioned way—they still make ice cream two gallons at a time and hand pack each pint. While all that is central to Graeter's success, it's their commitment to hospitality and customer-service that sets them apart from the field. Chief of Retail Operations, Chip Graeter, shares the family secrets, and his favorite scoops, in an Aggressive Life interview unlike any other.

What does it mean to be a man? It can be an incendiary question in some circles.  But Brian Tome brings his Enneagram Eight energy to the topic as we explore his new book, The Five Marks of a Man: finding your path to courageous manhood,  “I didn't have that definitive moment where I crossed from boyhood to manhood because no one ever declared me a man. No one ever told me that,” explains Brian. “It's not an age thing. It's not  what kind of truck or Prius you drive. It's an attitude and a certain approach to life.”  We explore his willingness to embrace vulnerability and live purposefully as part of this approach.  It's a passionate conversation that sparks the question, “How would you characterize your understanding of manhood?”   ------- About Brian Tome Brian Tome has been leading men for over two decades. Whether it's on an adventure motorcycle over the Rockies or in a boardroom, he knows the power of challenge, brotherhood, and no-nonsense leadership. Brian is a builder who founded and leads Crossroads Church, one of the largest churches in America with locations in multiple states and a national digital footprint.

The most listened-to guest in the history of The Aggressive Life, John Burke, returns to share new insights and research from his lifetime of studying near-death experiences. This time, he's focusing on what near-death experiences can teach us about God—what He is like, what He values, and what He expects of us. After interviewing thousands of NDErs, John discovered incredible similarities in their stories, despite these people coming from all walks of life, backgrounds, and countries around the world. The stories John shares will give you hope, paint God in a new light, and just might change the way you think about the afterlife.  If you haven't yet, check out Brian's first conversation with John, “What Happens When We Die?” at the following links: Apple or Spotify.

The Aggressive Life's favorite exorcist is back to answer questions you submitted via Instagram. He covers everything from ghosts, to Halloween, to what he thinks about possession movies, and everything in between. Despite his heavy job—this man does cast out demons as part of his workweek—Father Lampert is a light, joyful, and smiling presence. He is contagious, in the best way possible, and his answers are thorough, helpful, and even surprising. He is a good man aggressively going after God, and this episode will push you forward.

“There need to be silences - you need to give people room to run. Let people talk more. I already know what I know now. I wanna know what you know.” Recently longtime FrieMMd of the Pod Rajiv Satyal sat down with Crossroads pastor and podcast host Bryan Tomes on his show “The Aggressive Life.” What started as an exploration of Rajiv's comedy career and approach turned into an open and honest conversation among two very different perspectives on politics, faith, and culture. With the Fourth of July right around the corner for Americans, we celebrate our independence and freedom, but also take an honest reflection on who we are - and want to be - as a nation, and as a people. With today's level of division and discord , the importance of talking - and listening to others who might not look and think like us. There is a better way from simply passively standing by and retreating to our echo chambers. It's about seeking to understand, having minority conversations for all of our majority ears. We hope you'll enjoy this candid conversation about comedy - and curiosity.  LEARN MORE Rajiv Satyal: rajivsatyal.com Brian Tome: briantome.com Podcast: crossroads.net/media/podcasts/the-aggressive-life-with-brian-tome Learn more about your ad choices.
