Laura Barringer shares her journey from kindergarten teacher to co-author with her father of "A Church Called Tov" and "Pivot," exploring how biblical goodness transforms Christian communities.
• Tov is the Hebrew word for goodness appearing over 700 times in Scripture
• Tov cultures are characterized by empathy, grace, truth-telling, and putting people first
• Honest assessment requires asking for feedback and being willing to hear uncomfortable truths
• Leaders must listen when the Holy Spirit disrupts their plans and ambitions
• Healthy leadership uses power as Jesus did—often by giving it away rather than controlling others
