The Aggressive Life with Brian Tome

What if the idea of finding your soulmate is actually keeping you from finding a great marriage? Brian Tome has been married to his wife, Libby, for 38 years, and he's convinced of one thing: soulmates don't exist.In this episode of BT's Minority Position, Brian challenges the popular belief that there's one perfect person out there for everyone. He explains why great marriages are built, not found, why being the right person matters more than finding the right person, and what an ancient Bible story reveals about choosing a spouse.Plus, Brian tackles a lightning round of other unpopular opinions, including when it's acceptable to start listening to Christmas music, whether reclining your airplane seat is rude, and if sleeping in an RV actually counts as camping.If you're single, dating, or married, this conversation might change the way you think about love, commitment, and what makes a relationship last.

“God will never give you more than you can handle.” It's one of the most common things Christians say to encourage someone going through a hard time. But is it actually true? What does the Bible say? Brian thinks we've got it all wrong.In this episode, Brian challenges this popular Christian belief and explains what the Bible really says about pain, suffering, and God's promises. Drawing from Scripture, his own recent struggles, and a grueling experience in the Alaskan wilderness, Brian makes the case that God absolutely allows us to face more than we can handle. But that doesn't mean He abandons us.What if the point isn't that you're strong enough to handle everything life throws at you, but that you were never meant to handle it alone?

What are you waiting for?Brian Tome spent two weeks deep in the Alaskan wilderness with his son Jake and two of his closest friends, chasing a lifelong dream of hunting moose. What followed was an adventure filled with grizzly bears, brutal weather, questionable decisions, plenty of bourbon, and a moment between father and son that Brian will never forget.Joined by his friends Log and 512, Brian relives the highs and lows of the trip, including the moment he realized his son could physically do something he no longer could.But this episode is about more than hunting. Inspired by the book Die With Zero, Brian challenges you to rethink how you're spending your time and money, stop postponing meaningful experiences, and make memories with the people who matter most.Because someday you won't be able to do the things you can do today. The question is: What are you going to do about it?
