Episode 157: Making Church Good Again with Scot McKnight

Send us Fan Mail*Trigger warning: We discuss sexual assault in The Church and Bill Hbyels and Willow Creek Church in Chicago.   Scot McKnight is a theologian, an author, and a professor at Northern Seminary in Chicago. On this episode of Chicago, we talk about his book A Church Called Tov: Forming a Goodness Culture That Resists Abuses of Power and Promotes Healing. Scott is desperate for the church to be “tov” (good) and a place for people to thrive. He uses his studies of The Bible to help others go deeper in their Christian walk. We discuss narcissism in The Church and why it is so important to share the pulpit and share platforms to destroy pride and ego. Scot knows churches can be “tov” and we have the power of The Holy Spirit within us to fight against abuse and form a culture of goodness among God’s people.
