When Scott MacLellan’s daughter was diagnosed with a rare health condition, he knew her childhood would be a fight. Enduring hundreds of surgeries wasn’t the worst of it. What started as a prescription for opioid painkillers eventually became an addiction, pushing Scott’s family to the brink. For over a decade, he fought for his daughter’s future—until a desperate prayer, and a chance encounter, changed everything. On the other side of addiction, Scott and his family are now addiction advocates, helping to pioneer new treatment, and hope, for families walking through similar circumstances. No matter the fight you are facing, Scott’s story can be the shot of inspiration you need to keep going.

When Pastor John Funnell arrived at Noddfa Church, in one of the poorest valleys in Wales, only six elderly members remained. He expected to quietly lead them until the church closed—but God had other plans. Through prayer, risk, and persistence, those six believers have become a thriving congregation of more than 300 people, sparking a modern revival movement.

In this episode of The Aggressive Life with Brian Tome, John shares how revival started in a forgotten community—and what it really takes to experience a spiritual awakening. From repentance and renewal to the challenges of explosive growth, his story is a front-row seat to what God is doing in post-Christian Europe.

If you’ve ever longed to see revival in your life, or wondered how to prepare for the next great move of God, this conversation will inspire you to keep moving forward.

Modern masculinity is typically pigeonholed into one of two camps—it’s either toxic (and therefore a danger to itself and others) or it’s tame (passively making no difference in the world around it). Pastor and author, Joby Martin, stops by The Aggressive Life to unpack a third option—a biblical masculinity rooted in responsibility, sacrifice, and faith. In a hard-hitting, and often hilarious conversation, the two friends discuss cultural confusion about manhood, why fatherhood is essential, and what it takes to stand firm and act like a man. This is a raw and inspiring masterclass on what it takes to live courageously in a world gone soft.
