Faith was never meant to be boring, predictable, or safe.
The Aggressive Life is a faith podcast for people who want more than the usual answers. Author, adventurer, and pastor Brian Tome brings an honest, gritty, and sometimes unexpected take on following God in the real world. One week he might unpack what the Bible actually says about a question you’ve wrestled with. The next, he might tell a story from an adventure gone sideways, answer questions he wasn’t prepared for, or sit down with someone doing something remarkable.
You never quite know where the conversation will go, but it will be real, useful, and rooted in a faith that demands action.
Faith isn’t something you just believe. It’s something you live.
