Tent Talks with Dr Stephen BackhouseLaura Barringer and Scot McKnight on forming a goodness culture in A Church Called TovNew Testament scholar Scot McKnight and his daughter Laura Barringer join the Tent to discuss their book A Church Called Tov.

Hole in My Heart PodcastEpisode 174: Tov vs. Toxicity in the Church with Scot McKnight and Laura BarringerWhen we look at churches and ministries today, we often don’t see Jesus.
Instead, we see scandal. Abuse. Toxicity.
What do we do with this?
How do we change and prevent it?
Scot McKnight and Laura Barringer have an answer: tov.
Tov is the Hebrew word for “good,” and it’s who God is and who He calls us to be.
As Scot says it, tov is “the redemptive dimension of churches that can prevent them from toxicity.” We need more of this.
Let’s listen in.
