Pivot: The Priorities, Practices, and Powers That Can Transform Your Church Into A Tov Culture - Special Release Day Episode - Scot McKnight & Laura Barringer
In this special release day episode, Cody Matchett interviews Scot McKnight and Laura Barringer on their new book, Pivot.
After the release of their groundbreaking book, A Church Called Tov, which recorded the stories of abuse and toxic church cultures at some of the most prominent churches in the United States, New Testament scholar and blogger for Christianity Today Scot McKnight and Laura Barringer heard from a flood of people who had experienced similar instances of abuse. After all they’ve seen and heard, they still believe it’s possible for church cultures to be transformed from toxic to tov—from oppressive to good.
In Pivot, Scot and Laura help churches to implement practices,establish priorities, and cultivate the Kingdom Gospel-centered qualities that form goodness cultures. Readers will find answers to the four most common questions people have about culture transformation:
How can I transform the culture in my church or organization to make it tov?
I believe my workplace has unhealthy values. How do I initiate change?
How do I unleash a culture of goodness in my ministry?
I’m not in a position of church leadership. What are some red flags that indicate a toxic culture, and what can I do if I see them?
Pivot also includes the following practical features:
The “Tov tool,” a survey to help you discern your organization’s culture and to promote spiritual conversations
A “getting to work” section at the end of each chapter with questions and next steps for application
Transformation is never easy. But for the sake of the next generation, we must do it. -

Customer Reviews
Clear, timely, generous
Scott McNight and his guests bring clarity to the chaos of contemporary Christian theology in the West. They also share practical tools for being apprenticed to Jesus. I know of no other Christian podcast that combines such depth of scholarship with such practicality and clarity for the average listener. Bravo!
Common Opinions
I used to love listening to the podcast as it was often theology driven. Since about 2 years ago the views I hear seem to be the same views I can hear if I listen to MSNBC or CNNs view on the Bible for the most part. The language used by the hosts and the guests is often very much cultures view of Christianity. It just seems a little too convenient to always trash evangelicals and never discuss the issues mainline denominations face. If they ever say a bad word it’s about evangelicals and never against any other viewpoint and it grows tiring to hear partisan views. I used to feel challenged by the podcast not it’s just another form of the same noise I hear from most other media outlets. Sadly, one do the frequent things they say is how bad evangelicals are for their beliefs and one reason is because “evangelicals are too critical of opposing views” and it feels like the pot calling the kettle if you know what I mean. I just had to finally unsubscribe and write this review after listening to about 80% of the episodes as I went back and listened from the beginning episodes available. I’d recommend the older ones but anything post 2019 feels like it’s talking points for a liberal theology with no critique of a left wing view and consistent critique of a right wing view. More balance is needed in my opinion.
