“Only one side could be telling the truth and it's really disturbing either way.” - Laura Barringer
On this episode of Restoring the Soul, Michael welcomes Laura Barringer to the podcast.
Over the past decade, we have seen incredible examples of toxic church culture that has upended congregations and has left thousands of church staff and congregants confused and shaken. In 2020 Laura co-authored a book with her father titled “A Church Called Tov: Forming a Goodness Culture That Resists Abuses of Power and Promotes Healing.” Together, they dedicated the book to “the wounded resisters” which provides a framework to create a “good” church culture rather than a toxic one in order to prevent further abuse. As you’ll hear in her interview with Michael, Laura has firsthand experience of toxic church culture.
Laura is a graduate of Wheaton College and makes her home in the Chicago suburbs with her husband and three beagles.
