Episode 33: PIVOT: The Priorities, Practices, and Powers That Can Transform Your Church Culture (Scot McKnight and Laura Barringer)

Scot McKnight and Laura Barringer, authors of the popular 2020 book, 'A Church Called Tov,' talk to us about their follow up book, 'PIVOT'. They answer questions about how congregations can tell if toxic traces taint their cultures, what it takes to "detox" a church, and practical steps congregations can take to start the process of culture change.
