Brian Tome

Brian is a force. Storyteller, pastor, discipler of men, and innovator and pioneer as a leader and church builder. And continues to impact and influence the greater Cincinnati area, as well as leaders around the US.

Brian is a leader that is actively engaged in the present, but everything he does is about the future. He is innovative and strategic, always pushing himself and others to courageous and boldly blaze the trail in a way that keeps all eyes on Jesus.

I love keeping up online with Brian Tome and Crossroads Church. He's an innovative and game-changing leader. Brian spoke at our 2020 conference and was by far my favorite talk out of 120 speakers. I recently shared his talk with the pastor and staff of a mega-church in California and told them they could learn so much about ministry in 2021 and beyond by watching Brian's talk. He's direct, clear, compelling, and speaks with authority

As a conference organizer, I'm always happy to put Brian on the lineup because I know he's going to bring something unique something on theme something born out of deep passion and from a place of authenticity. I've never seen a canned talk or mailed in message from Brian Tome. He views each opportunity to step in front of a group of people as a sacred opportunity to bring them further along in their journey.

Brian Tome exemplifies what every entrepreneur needs - faith. He casts a compelling vision, usually without clarity on how to get to the outcome, and moves forward aggressively in faith.

It's rare to find a leader with that combination of a drive to excel, the patience to allow the creative process to bear fruit, and a recognition that the goal is not to always be right, but to get it right. Anyone can get lucky once or twice, but Brian Tome has modeled over decades the heart and discipline of a true innovator, always seeking new ways of communicating and connecting. He once quipped, 'fear is often the smell of opportunity'

Brian knows the language of men. That may not be culturally appropriate to some...but I am not sure Brian would really care. He does care about how to inspire men to step into the greatness that God has created them to be. He speaks in ways that are rebellious, truthful, and fun. I love how he dares men to step into something greater than the status quo. If you are looking for a way to wake up the men in your life...take a dose of Tome. It'll do the trick.

Brian Tome is a leader worth following. He's authentic to his calling and has taken so many people with him on that adventure.
