How can you transform a toxic church culture into a healthy one? And what's the best way to initiate change?

Welcome to the Roy's Report, a podcast dedicated to reporting the truth and restoring the church.

I'm Julie Roy's. And joining me today are theologian Scott McKnight and his daughter, Laura Berringer.

They're the authors of the best-selling book, a church called Tove.

Tove is the Hebrew word for good or goodness, and the book explained how to create a church

culture that's truly good, one that resists abuse and promotes healing and spiritual growth.

But what if your church or Christian workplace already

has an ingrained toxic culture? Well, that's what Scott and Laura's new book, Pivot, is all about.

It explains the priorities, practices, and powers that can help you pivot or transform your toxic

culture into a Tove culture. But it's not easy, and it's not for the faint of heart.

But it is God-honoring, and it is possible. So I'm very excited to delve into this topic

with Scott and Laura. But first, I'd like to thank the sponsors of this podcast, Judson University,

and Mark Horda Barrington. If you're looking for a top-ranked Christian University
