In this episode, Jenilee sits down with theologian and author Scot McKnight to discuss his book A Church Called Tov and the urgent need to shift from toxic church cultures to life-giving, redemptive communities. Scot shares insights from his personal experience with an unfortunate church scandal and unpacks how church culture shapes individuals—either toward toxicity or toward Tov (the Hebrew word for goodness).

They discuss:
✔️ Common characteristics of toxic church culture
✔️ Why narcissistic leaders thrive in certain environments
✔️ How to recognize false narratives used to protect power
✔️ What Tov culture looks like and how to cultivate it
✔️ Practical steps for healing from toxic church experiences

Whether you've been hurt by a church or are seeking to create a healthier community within yours, this episode is packed with wisdom and hope.
