Podcast appearances and mentions of brian tome

When you're gone, what will actually outlive you? It won't be your job title, your achievements, or even how hard you worked to restore your 1978 Jeep Renegade. The truth is: your legacy isn't built through success—it's built through people. In this powerful message, Brian Tome delivers a direct challenge to men everywhere: Fatherhood is a fight. And whether you're a biological father, a father figure, or someone who's never had kids, you are called to step in, show up, and build a legacy that truly lasts.  Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Are you ready for the truth? You're already in a spiritual battle — whether you realize it or not. The pain, confusion, and resistance you're facing isn't random. There's a real Enemy working behind the scenes, plotting to exploit your weaknesses, steal your joy, and derail your purpose. He has a strategy. Do you? This week, Brian Tome exposes the spiritual reality many of us overlook and lays out a practical battle plan to help you recognize the attack, armor up, and fight back with confidence. It's time to stop being hunted and start standing firm. Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

This is the most important message I've ever shared.Brian Tome: https://www.briantome.com/For generations, young men have grown up without a father, without initiation, and without the confidence they need to thrive. I've seen it firsthand—men who look like adults but feel like boys inside. This episode isn't just a podcast—it's a movement to bring back something society lost: the rite of passage into manhood.At BraveCo, we believe it's not too late. Last year, we introduced a 3.1-mile Tough Mudder Rite of Passage to our conference. What we thought would be just a powerful experience became the most transformational moment of the entire year—for sons and for fathers. I saw grown men cry. I saw boys stand tall for the first time. This year, we're believing for 300 young men to be changed forever. This is a calling, not just a challenge.In this episode, I talk with Brian Tome—founder of Crossroads Church and author of The Five Marks of a Man. We dive deep into identity, calling, spiritual maturity, and why the American church is failing to reach men. We don't hold back. We talk about church, culture, manhood, porn, shame, and what it means to lead a life of honor. If you're tired of surface-level conversations and ready to go deep—this is your episode.ABOUT BRAVECOWe live in a time where men are hunting for the truth and looking for the codebook to manhood. At BraveCo, we are on a mission to heal the narrative of masculinity across a generation; fighting the good fight together because every man should feel confident and capable of facing his pain, loving deeply, and leading a life that impacts the world around him.

Christianity. Buddhism. Islam. Hinduism. They all seem to say the same thing, right? Be nice, don't kill, don't steal your neighbor's Wi-Fi, you know the drill. But what if these aren't just different paths up the same mountain? What if one of them flips the mountain upside down? In this message, Brian Tome unpacks why Christianity isn't just another rulebook to reach God—it's a radical invitation into relationship. One filled with grace, transformation, and the presence of the living God. And once you understand the difference, there's no chance you stay the same.  Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

If you've been burned (or bored) by the Church, you're not alone. The Church has certainly been responsible for some not-so-great stuff over the years. Sounds hard to believe, but there was a time when the Church was the world's most powerful force for good. Hospitals, public education, and humanitarian aid—all born from the church.  The church isn't just a building or an organization, it's God's Plan A to bless His people. Even Jesus said it would “do greater things” than even He did while on earth. Whoa. So how do we practically live that out? Brian Tome points us to the power we can have when start to move.  Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

In this episode of the Church Planting Podcast, Greg Nettle welcomes his longtime friend Brian Tome, founder and senior pastor of Crossroads Church in Cincinnati. Brian unpacks the unfiltered reality of church planting—from answering a magazine ad with 11 strangers to building a church that reaches tens of thousands weekly. He shares how grit, vision clarity, and authenticity have shaped his journey, recounts his “two-for-one” approach to core team building, and challenges leaders to relentlessly pursue new people, not just transfer Christians. Brian and Greg discuss lessons learned the hard way, the importance of work ethic, and the pain and payoff of staying true to your calling—even when it means “ripping people's ears off” before they rip off yours. Brian also dives into Crossroads' outreach—like fighting sex trafficking in Nepal, developing software for prison ministry, and building the CityLink Center. He reflects on personal health, relational boundaries, and leading with authenticity (yes, even smoking a Marlboro onstage once to make a point!). The conversation is packed with wisdom for anyone in the trenches of church leadership or just starting out.

Can a Christian get tattoos? What about smoke? Drink? These are all important questions, but it doesn't matter nearly as much as the deeper question: does it matter what we do with our body? Aren't we all just meat bags that need to be filled with Taco Bell sometimes until we go to heaven? (Ok, maybe we shouldn't put the terms “meat bags” and “Taco Bell” in the same sentence). Brian Tome dives into what we do with our body—and why it might matter way more than we think. Recorded Live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Join us as Brian Tome breaks down how we can have that full life, and that it might come through (*gasp*) a digital fast. Recorded live in Cincinnati, Ohio at Crossroads Church.

Summary In this conversation, Brian Tome, the founder and senior pastor of Crossroads church in Cincinnati, discusses the challenges faced by men in today's culture and the need for a more masculine approach to spirituality. He addresses the issue of toxic masculinity, the loneliness epidemic among men, and the lack of male representation in the modern church. Brian shares his personal journey, the founding of Man Camp, and the importance of camaraderie and teamwork among men. The conversation covers the challenges men face in traditional church settings, the concept of man camp, the need for a spiritual awakening, and the importance of leadership and organization in the church. It also delves into the role of prayer and action in fostering an awakening. Takeaways The modern church lacks a masculine approach to spirituality, leading to a lack of male representation and engagement. The loneliness epidemic among men is a significant issue that needs to be addressed, highlighting the need for camaraderie and teamwork. The concept of toxic masculinity and the challenges faced by men in today's culture are important topics that require open and honest discussion. Traditional church settings may not always resonate with men, leading to the need for alternative approaches like man camp. A spiritual awakening is seen as necessary in the current cultural climate, and it requires a focus on prayer and organizational leadership. The concept of being a post-resurrection leader involves maturity, humility, and a reliance on the Holy Spirit for transformation and impact. The importance of organized leadership and the role of prayer in fostering a spiritual awakening are key themes in the conversation.

Join Brian Tome as he dives into the essence of manhood and the challenges men face today. He explains the contrast between a boy mindset of seeking immediate gratification with the qualities of a man—having a vision, working diligently, and being a team player. He also discusses the evolving societal expectations for men and the stages of parenting, emphasizing the importance of guiding sons toward maturity.

Age, job or achievements do not automatically make a boy a man; it is the way he chooses to live his life. Brian describes five characteristics that mark authentic manhood; a vision for life, the courage to take a minor position, a team player's mindset, a strong work ethic, and the ability to be a gracious protector. In this session, learn to embrace these characteristics and create a new path of strength and integrity to become the person God intended.

The key to making your vision a reality is finding the right group of people. Brian Tome looks at the power of people and how having a strong team can change your life.

Inaugurating the Kings Row Podcast, Michael Thompson engages in a compelling dialogue with Brian Tome, the pastor of Crossroads Church in Ohio, leader of Man Camp, and author of The Five Marks of a Man. Together, they delve into the profound realm of identity and exploring the image men hold of Jesus. Brian emphasizes the significance of Brotherhood, Man Camp, and discipling men on making and developing friendships. This transformative conversation ranges from the misunderstood toughness of Jesus to the crucial need for men to operate from a foundation of strength rather than succumbing to performance-based faith. Men must be ready for battle for themselves and their families.

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.

A boy doesn't automatically become a man at age 18. What differentiates a man from a boy is the way he lives. A boy lives day to day, wants to be MVP, plays, wants the reassurance of the crowd, and is a predator. A man has a vision for his life, is a team player, works, has the courage to take a minority position, and is a protector. These are the five marks of a man. It's not enough to just know them. A real man aggressively pursues them on a daily basis. Drawing from his own experience and the lives of others, pastor Brian Tome calls on men to examine themselves and take steps in the direction of a fully realized manhood that honors God, respects women, elevates others, and works purposefully for an end greater than their own satisfaction or pleasure. It's time for men to step into their honorable place in the world and lean into a new reality--one defined by strength, purpose, and honor. Brian's Website: www.briantome.com Purchase The Five Marks of a Man: https://www.briantome.com/fivemarks 

We sacrifice everything for the cause to go the way of Jesus. We believe everything we have is from God and for God. So we sacrifice our time, talent, and money. We choose to die empty. 

WE CHALLENGE ourselves, and each other to get out of our comfort zone and do hard things. We believe that God uses any struggle and adversity we face to sharpen us, grow us, make us stronger and take us to new places we can't get to from our couches.

WE RUN to the lost, the hurting, the hungry, to those who are asking questions and seeking truth. We will do anything short of sin to reach our friends and neighbors. We believe everyone has a seat at God's table.

No one wants to be the guy who always takes and never gives. Brian Tome looks at how you can unlock your unique gifts and talents and have a profound impact.

“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.

“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 P&G Alumni Co-host Rajiv Satyal sat down with Crossroads pastor and podcast host Bryan Tome 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, which was one of the values many of us were taught during our time at P&G. We hope you'll enjoy this candid conversation about comedy - and curiosity.
