The Aggressive Life with Brian Tome

Miracles might not be common, but they still happen… and Paul Maconochie has seen more than his fair share. A pastor, leader, and close friend of BT, Paul returns to the podcast to talk about healing prayer—how to do it, when to do it, and what to expect. Paul’s experience of seeing God heal others through prayer makes him one of the foremost experts on the topic. In prayer, like life, reward always lies on the other side of risk. No matter what you believe about God, prayer, or healing, this conversation has something to get you moving. 
Crossroads is hosting Nights of Healing Prayer with Paul Maconochie—part workshop, part experience—at all sites and online throughout January and February, 2026. Everyone welcome. Dates, times, and more details here.

Fitness trends and best practices feel like a moving target—one trainer says this, and another says something completely different. In this episode, Brian sits down with nationally recognized fitness coach and trainer, Shawn Zitt, for a practical conversation about building and maintaining physical health. How much water do I need? Should I eat more meat or less? Do I have to work out everyday? How much sleep should I get? With decades of experience, and hundreds of successful clients, Shawn’s expertise can be the push you need into a healthier future.

Reading the Bible is a very common—but rarely achieved—goal. Is there a secret to reading the Bible? How do I actually engage with this old book?

If you’re setting out to read more of the Bible in 2026, this episode is a push in the right direction.
