Podcasts about toxic church

Dass es schlechte Theologie gibt, bestreitet kaum jemand. Aber was zeichnet dann eine «gute Theologie» aus? Manuel und Stephan versuchen, sich über entsprechende Kriterien zu verständigen… Diese letzte Folge in unserem Ausgeglaubt-Summer-Special widmen wir einem zentralen Thema unseres Podcasts: Wir unterhalten uns über die Kennzeichen «guter Theologie». Ein wichtiges Gespräch, in dem wir nicht miteinander streiten, sondern gemeinsam das Bild einer Theologie entwickeln, die mutig und leidenschaftlich ist, ohne fundamentalistisch zu werden… Hier die ursprüngliche Kurzbeschreibung dazu – viel Spass und Inspiration beim Hören! Manuel hat letzte Woche für einigen Wirbel gesorgt, als er der Predigt eines bekannten evangelikalen Pastors öffentlich widersprach. Unter anderem ging es dabei um das Bibelverständnis und den Wahrheitsanspruch – und im weiteren Sinne um die Frage, was eigentlich eine gute Theologie auszeichnet. Darüber spricht er hier mit Stephan. Beide haben sich überlegt, was für sie zu einer gesunden, hilfreichen Theologie gehört. Dabei geht es ihnen nicht um bestimmte Positionen, die es zu vertreten gälte, sondern vielmehr um die Art und Weise, auf die man zu seinen Positionen gelangt und in der man sie vertritt. Um schon ein wenig zu spoilern: Manuel hängt seine drei Kennzeichen einer guten Theologie an den Begriffen Neugierde, Leidenschaft und Bescheidenheit auf – und Stephan spielt seine eigenen Merkmale mit ein… Ein spannendes und hoffentlich weiterführendes Gespräch.

River City Church - Discover - Connect - Grow Welcome to River City Church Online. Thank you for joining us today as we continuing our series called Crafting a Culture of Healing & Hope in the Church. Today's message has been presented by Pastor Darrell Bierman. A healthy church is one where every person is seen, heard, and valued. A healthy church has carefully crafted a culture of goodness, dignity, and respect. However, both history and our current headlines reveal a church that can be a deeply flawed, sinful, and unhealthy institution, marred by acts of injustice, corruption, abuse, misogyny, and oppression. Indeed, far from having “goodness cultures” too many churches today have “toxic” cultures! So, is this vision of a healthy church even possible or is this vision idealistic and unattainable this side of heaven? Here at River City Church, we believe that a healthy church is possible, but creating one will takes all of us working together deliberately following a map. This new series will give us the map and will both equip and challenge us to turn this this dream into a reality. Some RCC listeners have been part of a toxic church. If you have, it may have affected (or may be affecting) your view of God. What's more: By being able to identify toxic churches we can/will becomes part of the ‘solution' (to keep RCC from becoming a toxic church). Romans 13:10 Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law. Café will be open right after the service. We are located at 215 South Street, Cambridge, Ontario. God bless you today and we hope to see you soon.

The FINAL episode of Season 10 arrives featuring Jenai Auman! Don’t forget to rate the show and share it widely! In this episode…. Our conversation revolves around themes explored in Jenai’s book “Othered,” focusing on her experiences navigating toxic church environments and the subsequent journey toward healing and liberation. After introductions, Jenai and Rohadi dissect the dynamics of gaslighting and DARVO within toxic church environments, shedding light on the emotional turmoil and internal fractures caused by oppressive church systems. We delve into Jenai’s personal narrative of betrayal and resilience, emphasizing the profound cost of leaving toxic communities while highlighting the transformative power of reclaiming agency and identity. Throughout the conversation, we underscore the importance of boundaries and cultivating genuine belonging outside of oppressive structures, ultimately revealing the potential for liberation and renewal found in embracing one’s “otherness.” (more…)

Discipleship lies at the heart of the Christian journey, yet it often becomes compartmentalized within separate ministries or aspects of the Christian faith. Jeff Vanderstelt, with years of experience leading others in the way of Jesus and equipping the broader church through his writings, is now dedicated to mentoring pastors and leaders in gospel fluency and missional living. In this insightful discussion, Jason and Jeff delve into the significance of maintaining an open-handed approach to those entrusted to pastors' care, navigating critical voices, and the profound impact of Dallas Willard's last unanswered question.

Scot has written over 80 books, including a church called Tov, which he co-authored with his daughter, Laura Behringer.

Criticism is not necessarily toxic, even when it is misguided. And no one likes to field complaints. Sometimes they are warranted, and sometimes they can be toxic. How can a pastor tell the difference? Thom covers the best ways pastors can discern toxic conflict from healthy conflict. It's not always easy, but he offers a few practical tips through six questions.  The post Six Questions to Discern Toxic Church Conflict from Healthy Church Conflict appeared first on Church Answers.

On this episode of The Alabaster Jar, Dr. Scot McKnight joins Dr. Lynn Cohick, Kelly Dippolito, and Sareen Musselman to discuss women and ministry, toxic church culture, and strategies for transforming toxic patterns into healthy cultures in churches. The conversation focuses on defining tov (Hebrew word for “goodness”) as rooted in ordinary life and how it can manifest in church culture.The episode delves into the traits of a narcissistic leader, introduces strategies for transforming toxic church patterns, and emphasizes the importance of centering empathy, truth-telling, and theology.Episode Breakdown:0:00 - Goodness in church culture and ordinary life4:25 - Narcissistic leadership in churches9:36 - Leadership and organizational culture in a church setting14:25 - Assessing toxicities in churches and institutions19:23 - Church culture and ownership25:25 - Toxic culture in churches and seminaries30:13 - Gender roles in Christianity and Jesus' treatment of womenEpisode Resources:A Church Called Tov: Forming a Goodness Culture That Resists Abuses of Power and Promotes Healing by Dr. Scot McKnightPivot: The Priorities, Practices, and Powers That Can Transform Your Church into a Tov Culture by Dr. Scot McKnightOrganizational Culture and Leadership by Edgar H.

TAKE TWO: A blogger argues that the focus on bad pastors and their abusive leadership in the Christian community might have been overdone and could overshadow the more common existence of good pastors. I disagree. Churches and Christians are called to judge inside their ranks and expose pastoral abuse when it occurs. The Bible calls for greater accountability for church leaders and warns against tolerating abusive practices in leadership. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/kelly-dehnert/support

Das Ausgeglaubt-Special zum Thema «Toxic Church» hat viele Reaktionen und Rückfragen ausgelöst – eine der häufigsten Bitten von euch war, das Thema toxischer Verhältnisse in Kirchen nicht nur strukturell und organisatorisch, sondern auch theologisch zu durchdenken: Gibt es auch so etwas wie eine «Toxic Theology», die mit toxischen Kirchensystemen korreliert? Gibt es theologische Überzeugungen und Lehrinhalte, die besonders anfällig darauf sind, toxische Verhältnisse zu fördern oder von toxischen Leitern instrumentalisiert zu werden? Und dann auch: Gibt es gesunde, heilsame theologische Überzeugungen, der Ausbildung toxischer Verhältnisse vorbeugen? Manuel und Stephan gehen noch einmal von den verschiedenen Dokumentationen zur Hillsong Church aus und diskutieren Manuels Erfahrungen mit problematischen Lehren in pfingstlich-charismatischen Gemeinden. Im Blick auf die Frage, was denn Alternativen zu performativ-popkulturellen Kirchen wie Hillsong sein könnten, werden sie sich nicht einig – beide sind mit dem Thema aber ganz offensichtlich noch nicht fertig…

Wie kommuniziert deine Kirche? Immer wieder werden Kirchen mit schwierigen Situationen oder Vorfällen konfrontiert. In diesen Momenten ist es wichtig, richtig zu kommunizieren. Auch die christliche Freikirche Hillsong wird seit einigen Wochen stark kritisiert und ist in der Kommunikation gefordert. Grund dafür ist die «Toxic Church-die Hillsongstory» Podcast. Aussteiger der Hillsong Church kommen zu Wort und stellen die Werte und dessen Ausübung in Frage. Markus Baumgartner spricht in diesem Talk über diese Herausforderung und was er selbst als Kommunikationsberater wichtig findet in der Kommunikation.

In dieser Folge “Was sonst noch wa(h)r geht es um Die Shakahola-Tragödie, um einen Klavierkurs bei der Stephen Ridley Academy, um die Letzte Generation und um den Podcast "Toxic Church", der sich mit der Hillsong-Freikirche auseinandersetzt.

Der Podcast «Toxic Church: Die Hillsong Story» ist in aller Munde – und er gibt Manuel und Stephan Anlass zu einer Spezialfolge von «Ausgeglaubt». Manuel ist mit der angeprangerten Hillsong Church, ihren Liedern und Predigten gut vertraut. Der Podcast lässt ihn an vielen Stellen erschauern, weckt ihn aber auch zum Widerspruch. Mit Stephan diskutiert er über freikirchliche und landeskirchliche Verhältnisse, über den Einsatz und die Verausgabung von Volunteers, charismatische Leiter und deren Macht und Eitelkeiten. Zum Schluss versuchen die beiden, Kennzeichen einer gesunden Kirchenkultur zu formulieren. Dass es sich hier um spannungsvolle Fragen handelt, wird an Manuels abschliessendem Statement deutlich: «Ich möchte nicht in einer toxischen Kirche Zuhause sein – aber ich möchte auch ganz sicher nicht Teil einer Kirche sein, in der es gar keinen Grund gibt, sich übermässig einzusetzen.»

Wie geht Hillsong Germany mit Geld um? Wie steht es mit der Rolex von Freimut Haverkamp, dem Lead Pastor der Church? Sind die Gehälter aus dem Ruder gelaufen? Dokumente eines Whistleblowers sind der Ausgangspunkt der Journalisten. Mit dieser Reflexion schaue ich ihnen über die Schulter und mache mir meine Gedanken.

Und jetzt kommt das große Besteck: die Pfingstbewegung greift nach der politischen Macht. Im Jahr 2050 ist jeder 10te ein Pfingstler ... Im Ernst? Na, da müssen wir am Ende noch mal einen Faktencheck machen.

For this episode of In This Moment Janetta Oni talks about God has redeemed her soul from a toxic church environment. Janetta also discusses the ways we ourselves can be toxic, how to know when to leave a church, and she talks about the ways God is still healing her.

Sex. Hillsong. Purity Culture. Darum geht es in der Episode, die ich reflektiere.

Serienheldin Charlotte zwang Natascha in die Knie und die Diskussion, wer denn nun in der Netflix-Serie „Queen Charlotte“ die 15 Kinder hat, entfachte ein Streitgespräch, das in der über 2-jährigen Meine-Tage-Podcast-Geschichte ihres und seines Gleichen sucht.

Die Podcast-Macher von Toxic Church leiten ihre Episode so ein: „Sie tragen Rolex-Uhren und teure Markenklamotten, halten charismatische Predigten und strotzen vor Selbstbewusstsein: Hillsongs sogenannte Lead-Pastor:innen.“ Das, und andere Vorwürfe im Blick auf die Rolle, Macht, Kritikfähigkeit und den Lebensstil der Lead Pastoren werden angesprochen. Hier kommen meine Gedanken dazu, meine persönliche Reflexion.

In unserer aktuellen Folge, ist Kyra Funk bei uns zu Gast. Kyra lebt in Hamburg und arbeitet als Journalistin, Autorin und Sprecherin. Und sie ist eine der Macherinnen, sowie die Stimme des Toxic Church-Podcasts. Kaum etwas hat in der deutschsprachigen evangelikalen Welt zuletzt solche Wellen geschlagen, wie dieses Podcast-Projekt: „Toxic Church - Die Hillsong Story“. Ein überaus erfolgreicher Podcast, der das globale Phänomen Hillsong beleuchtet, aber schwerpunktmäßig das deutschsprachige Hillsong-Netzwerk in den Fokus nimmt und in dem ehemalige und teils noch aktive Mitglieder von ihren Erfahrungen in und mit dieser Bewegung berichten. Die Fakten, die Kyra und ihr Team zusammengetragen haben, schockieren, rütteln auf und werfen eine ganze Menge Fragen auf. Darum freuen wir uns sehr, dass wir mit Kyra über einige dieser Fragen reden durften. Wir unterhalten uns in dieser Folge darüber, wie Toxic Church überhaupt zustande kam, wie Kyra und ihr Team in der Recherche vorgegangen sind, wie sie an Stimmen und Informationen gekommen sind und was sie und ihr Team dabei erlebt haben und wie die Reaktionen auf den Podcast sind. Außerdem erzählt uns Kyra von ihren persönlichen und biografischen Erfahrungen mit Kirche und Gemeinde und gemeinsam denken wir darüber nach, wie eine Kirche, in der tatsächlich alle willkommen sind, aussehen könnte.

Kyra Funk hat mit ihrem Team den Podcast „Toxic Church - die Hillsong Story“ in 8 Episoden veröffentlicht. Ich höre mir mit einem Team die Episoden jeweils an und reflektiere das, was der Podcast bringt. Er fokussiert sich (sein Selbstanspruch) auf Hillsong Germany. Das ist damit auch mein Fokuspunkt.

Purchase a copy of She Deserves Better: https://amzn.to/40NMYZzArmed with data from an all-new survey of over 7,000 women, the authors of The Great Sex Rescue reveal how experiences in church as teens affect women's self-esteem and relationships today. They expose common evangelical teachings that can backfire--the purity emphasis that can cause shame rather than good choices, the dating rules that can prime your daughter for abuse, and the one overarching belief that can keep her from setting healthy boundaries.Instead, the authors advocate biblically grounded, freeing messages that are more about the dos and less about the don'ts. By reframing (and sometimes replacing) common evangelical messages to teen girls, this book will equip you to raise a daughter who can navigate the tumultuous teenage years while still clinging tightly to Jesus.You can raise your daughter with the discernment to resist toxic teachings. Because she deserves better than a faith that keeps her small.Sheila Wray Gregoire is the face behind BareMarriage.com, an award-winning author, and a sought-after speaker.

Pastoren mit Rolexuhren am Handgelenk, fetzige Youtube-Gottesdienste und strahlende Gesichter: Die christliche Freikirche Hillsong macht von außen betrachtet einen schillernden Eindruck. Doch was passiert, wenn man hinter die Fassade schaut? Und die Freikirche an ihren eigenen Werten misst? Hält sie dem stand, was sie so voller Stolz predigt? Wie ist es bestellt mit der Nächstenliebe, der Wollust oder der Habgier? Diese Podcast-Serie blickt hinter die prunkvolle Fassade des Hillsong-Imperiums und richtet den Blick dabei erstmals auch nach Deutschland. Ehemalige Mitglieder berichten von Ausbeutung, Manipulation und seelischem Missbrauch. Sie berichten aber auch von Gemeinschaft, Leidenschaft und einem lebendigen Glauben. Dieser Podcast gibt ihnen eine Stimme und zeigt, wie dieser sehr persönliche und intime Glaube im großen Stil instrumentalisiert werden kann. Und wie daraus Kapital wird. Denn Megachurches sind auch Megabusinesses. „Toxic Church – Die Hillsong-Story“ erzählt die Geschichte der Menschen, die sie über Jahre hinweg mit aufgebaut haben. Es geht um unerbittlichen Gehorsam und um Wachstumswahn im Namen des Herrn, genauso wie um gesellschaftspolitischen Einfluss. Alle 8 Folgen ab dem 29.03. bei Podimo. Jede Woche Mittwoch eine Folge überall, wo es Podcasts gibt. Hier geht's zum Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/1siENwo2Vlo3SSolDFZGZy?si=74fea51c65d442e8)

Unserer Jubiläumsfolge ist für alle, die uns immer so fleißig direkt hören, einen Tag früher online!

Zum einen das Ergebnis schmeckt mir nicht gut und dann das Duell der Show-Giganten DSDS vs The Masked Singer, in dem meine Ohren viele schräge Töne ertragen mussten. Dann noch die schwer zu ertragene Selbstinzsenierung des Pop-Titanen, der eine weitere Staffel des Castingformates angekündigt hat. Dann steckte unter der Maske auch noch, wie vorher erwartet, auch kein wirklicher Superstar! (Servicehinweiß, für alle die Lust haben in unseren Livestream am Samstag, den 8.04. zu kommen, um die 2. Maske fallen zu sehen, der kann ab 23:10Uhr gerne auf Instagram dazustoßen.)

Herzliche Umarmungen zur Begrüßung, strahlende Gesichter mit Tränen in den Augen und ekstatische Gottesdienste mit echtem Gänsehautfeeling: Hillsong hat sich in den letzten Jahren zu einer der erfolgreichsten – und womöglich profitabelsten – Freikirchen der Welt entwickelt. Aber was macht sie so besonders? Warum pilgern vor allem junge Menschen in westlichen Großstädten in ihre Gottesdienste? Wie konnte Hillsong Stars wie Justin Bieber und Selena Gomez an sich binden? Wir wollen in dieser Folge verstehen, wie Hillsong sich anfühlt. Dafür reisen wir nach Berlin, New York und Konstanz. Und wir sprechen unter anderem mit Max. Er hat die Gemeinde in Konstanz mit aufgebaut und kennt die deutschen Pastor:innen persönlich. Doch irgendwann konnte er sein Engagement bei und für Hillsong nicht mehr mit seinem Gewissen vereinbaren. In diesem Podcast packt er aus – trotz Verschwiegenheitsklausel.

This episode was fast-paced and on fire with information for women and moms on doing the things that really matter, finding your people, and watching for red flags in church and day-to-day life. At the end of the day, we all just need people who will embrace our vulnerability and support us when we feel like we are about to lose our minds. No one is perfect, and life gets easier if you can share your imperfections with others. Our guest was none other than mom, entrepreneur, hope coach, and traveling speaker Toni Collier. Toni is the owner of Broken Crayons, which focuses on taking people to a place where they can embrace their trauma and find hope and healing. Toni has experienced so much redemption, health, and counseling that she now lives her life helping others break through the trauma and the pain and find a restored life. In this episode, Toni was full of inspiration for moms and women who are doing it all and provided tips for communication with those around so all your relationships can thrive! Listen close and leave a comment on Instagram about one takeaway that really stuck with you. I know I have a few to share! In this episode, we discuss: Broken Crayons and the impact it has on women who are struggling with past traumas. Setting boundaries with your spouse and kids – especially on the road! How women can do the things that really matter. Finding your people so you can be free to be broken rather than trying to be perfect.

This week, Pastor Dan and Pastor Andrew discuss this week's end of service chant, talk about dealing with people & toxic churches, and delve deeper into this week's sermon entitled "The Cure for a Toxic Church."To watch this week's sermon, check it out on our Facebook page www.facebook.com/cometoconnect or head over to cometoconnect.com/most-recent-sermon

Pastor Andrew speaks on what Paul says about love being the cure for a toxic church.

All of us have secrets we wish weren't true. Things in our lives that we don't like or with we didn't feel, but we do. When in that position, shame can easily find its way into our hearts, with tempts us to hide and hiding leads to mental distress. While the church is intended to be the safest place to talk about the shameful parts of ourselves, all too often people don't feel free to be honest. In this episode, I talk with my friend Brit, who held many secrets from herself and others for years. Certain aspects of herself that she didn't like - having an affair, living with an eating disorder for over a decade and withholding the fact that she is attracted to both genders. When life caught up to her, she was placed in a position to come clean, and she did. The reward and freedom she experienced far outweighed the darkness of concealing her secrets. Her story is one of courage and honesty and I believe her sharing the truth of her life will invite you into the same.

The church needs a detox. So much of our behavior and mindsets needs a deep cleanse. How did we get here? What is our path forward? It all starts with giving Jesus preeminence in our lives and recognizing the toxic behavior and mindsets we need to change in ourselves. 

Identifying Toxic Church Cultures: Interview With Scot McKnightTragically, in recent years, Christians have gotten used to revelations of abuses of many kinds in our most respected churches―from Willow Creek to Harvest, from Southern Baptist pastors to Sovereign Grace churches.One of the best books I have read this year is "A Church Called Tov" by Scot Mcknight, which addresses this very issue. The sad truth is that churches of all shapes and sizes are susceptible to abuses of power, sexual abuse, and spiritual abuse. Abuses occur most frequently when Christians neglect to create a culture that resists abuse and promotes healing, safety, and spiritual growth.How do we keep these devastating events from repeating themselves? We need a map to get us from where we are today to where we ought to be as the body of Christ. Today Scott will be giving us steps to identify toxic cultures, but also how to build healthy church culture where the body of Christ can flourish. Donate (Paypal)https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=GC2Z86XHHG4X6___________________________________________________________________________________Exclusive Content (Patreon)https://www.patreon.com/TheRemnantRadio__________________________________________________________________________________We're social! Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheRemnantRadioInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theremnantradio/___________________________________________________________________________________Our Favorite Bookshttps://www.amazon.com/shop/theremnantradio___________________________________________________________________________________Michael Rowntree's Church Bridgewayhttps://www.bridgewaychurch.com/___________________________________________________________________________________Michael Miller's Church Reclamation Churchhttps://reclamationdenver.com/___________________________________________________________________________________Kairos Classroom: Use Promo Code Remnant for 10% offhttps://kairosclassroom.com/classes__________________________________________________________________________________The Gospel Of Mark Group Packets https://the-remnant-radio.creator-spring.com/listing/the-gospel-of-mark-workbooks________________________________________________________________________Download Free Ebookhttps://theremnantradio.com/free-ebook-download-2/__________________________________________________________________________________Free Mini E-coursehttps://remnant-university.teachable.com/p/free-mini-course__________________________________________________________________________________Word & Spirit School Of Ministry (117 Video Discipleship Course)https://remnant-university.teachable.com/p/remnant-universityKairos Classroom: Use Promo Code "Remnant" for 10% offhttps://kairosclassroom.com/classes Kairos Classroom: Use Promo Code Remnant for 10% offhttps://kairosclassroom.com/classesSupport the show

Flatirons Church Lead Pastor, Jim Burgen, and Executive Pastor, Jesse DeYoung, talk candidly and openly about how a toxic leadership culture developed at Flatirons, how Jim ended up fusing church size and growth with his personal identity, how the weight of leading a large church became crushing, the impact of a forced sabbatical, and how Jim came back to a different, healthier and more humble kind of leadership.

In today's episode of Staying at the Table we talk and explore the topic of Church and Empire. We think through what are the positives and negatives of oppression or being oppressed, and the church experiences we go through in today's life.

In today's episode of Staying at the Table we discuss an article called “Jerry Falwell Jr. is not a Hypocrite” and then move the conversation to how do we respond to situations where leaders are moving our organization - a church or Christian institution - away from their values?

We're continuing our series on why I think the future of the church in America is co-vocational. Why I think the church of the 21st century will look less like the 20th century and more like the 1st century. And why now is THE time for pastors like you and me to figure out how to leverage our ministry skills into a secondary income source, so we can serve God and provide for our families no matter what. In today's show we're going to talk about Toxic Church Culture, Beth Moore, #CHURCHTOO and the Co-vocational Future of the Church. Get the show notes/transcript at www.morethanapastor.com/14.

Church hurt is very real and sometimes it leads to a place where asking the question, “Is it time to leave or not?” becomes 100% valid.  Making the decision to leave a church you've been serving at is a tough one.  It's hard to know if you're overreacting or if this is really the right thing to do.  Today's podcast, with Jonathan Swindal, will help you figure out if it's time to make the hard decision of leaving or staying.   We'll talk through the different factors that go into making this decision and help point you towards what the Lord is leading you to.  ---  If you like what you hear, please leave us a review!

Toxic Church Teaching on Female Sexual Desire from purity culture. In The Great Sex Rescue (https://amzn.to/3J6Dlg4) Sheila Gregoire documents teaching on Female Sexual Desire that makes intimacy more difficult in marriage. Popular books like "The Power of a Praying Wife" and "His Needs, Her Needs" propagate these teachings. Much of the teaching on sex focusses on male sexual release and ignores women's sexual desires. Men are portrayed as having a need for sex and women only have a need for relationship or emotional intimacy. This leads to the orgasm gap which is men having far more orgasms than their wives. The Scripture speaks in mutual terms for loving and serving your spouse. "The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband.” (1 Corinthians 7:3, ESV) Let us know what you think in the comment section.

Aaron Niequist has been to the top of the evangelical mountain and has experienced first hand the goodness and the toxicity and the pain that is often a byproduct of that world. He's come out of the belly of the evangelical beast without the bitterness and cynicism that many of us fall victim to. He doesn't want to label himself an Ex-vangelical. He's dreaming of living in and creating spiritual places and practices that are a convergence of the best of a number of Christian traditions, and it's beautiful. Check out his 2018 book The Eternal Current.In this episode, we tasted Eagle Park Brewing's BOTM's Up and Big BOTM's. They're delicious.Support the show

Too many of us have experienced abuse of power from pastors in our churches. This happens in churches that have allowed for a culture of toxicity. To resist toxicity, we need to restore goodness in our churches.

Dr. McKnight is Professor of New Testament at Northern Seminary in Lisle, IL. He is a New Testament scholar, historian of early Christianity, and theologian.

In this episode, we chat with Scot McKnight and Laura Barringer about their new book that's making waves called A Church Called Tov. This book is extremely important and is a prophetic call to the Church to form a goodness culture that resists abuses of power and promotes healing. We chat about recent scandals of abuse and coverup in the modern church, why we've created toxic church cultures and how we can move toward more beautiful cultures of goodness (Tov) in our churches. Also, we get some dirt on Scot from Laura about some fun and mildly embarrassing stories from growing up with a biblical scholar.
