What scares Brian Tome? What has he changed his mind about? And what does he really think about getting older?

In the first episode of Ask BT Anything, Brian answers questions submitted by listeners, with no preparation and no idea what's coming. He gets personal about his biggest fears, what he's learning in this new season of life, his changing beliefs about the Holy Spirit, and what his kids have taught him about himself.

He also tackles how to know when God is speaking, whether you can forgive someone without restoring the relationship, and a few completely unexpected questions along the way. Plus, a surprise call to his wife Libby for an update on how she's doing.

It's honest, funny, personal, and a little unpredictable. Exactly what happens when you can ask BT anything.

Drew Lynch built the career most comedians dream about. Millions of followers. Sold-out shows. A successful stand-up career that grew out of the very injury that nearly ended his dream of performing.

But eventually, none of it felt like enough.

Drew joins Brian Tome for a surprisingly deep conversation about the traumatic brain injury that caused his stutter, turning adversity into a career, the relentless pressure to perform, wrestling with control, and rediscovering his relationship with God.

They talk about what happens when your identity gets tied to achievement, why success can't tell you what you're worth, and what it looks like to stop trying to control everything and surrender what's next.

Funny, vulnerable, and much deeper than you might expect.

How do you know what God wants you to do with your life? We spend a lot of time looking for signs, waiting for clarity, and worrying that one wrong decision could take us outside of God’s plan.

But what if God’s will isn’t nearly as hidden as we’ve made it?

In this episode, Brian looks at what the Bible actually says about finding God’s will, making big decisions, and moving forward when you don’t have a clear answer. Maybe you don’t need God to show you the next ten years. Maybe you just need to do the next right thing.

Why do men need other men—and why is it so hard for guys to build real friendships?

Rory Lawrence and Matt Fortin join Brian Tome to talk about what happens when men stop trying to do life alone. They unpack the friendships they built through Man Camp, why men need people who will challenge them instead of just agreeing with them, and how doing hard things together creates relationships that actually last.

The conversation gets into isolation, brotherhood, faith, becoming stronger husbands and fathers, and why training alongside other men can change the direction of your life.

If you’ve ever felt like you have plenty of people around you but very few real friends, this episode is for you.
