Are All Religions Basically the Same?
May 18, 2025
Show notes
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.

Do We Still Need The Church?
May 11, 2025
Show notes
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.

Show notes
Palm Sunday: parades, palms, and a donkey. Cute. But let’s be honest—this day was never about waving branches. It’s about asking one uncomfortable question: Who’s actually calling the shots in your life? (Spoiler: it might not be who you think.)Brian dives into the gritty side of Holy Week—what people hoped Jesus would be, what he actually was, and why most of the crowd bailed on him a few days later. Hint: He didn’t fit their agenda.You’ll hear about cloaks, freedom, religious drama, and a woman who went from “God probably forgot me” to “I’m getting baptized right now.” It’s raw. It’s real. It might sting a little.So yeah, if you’ve ever tried to get Jesus to cosign your plans, this one’s for you.Hit play. Let it mess with you—in the best way.
