Take the Healthy Missions Assessment

TOV / Goodness Culture Resources

Developing a culture of goodness by valuing all at the table.

Our insights on TOV / Goodness Culture

We believe that a “tov” (Hebrew for goodness) culture (see  A Church Called Tov book by Scot McKnight) is crucial for healthy work and ministry. There will be no narcissistic dominant leadership or exclusive or hierarchical behavior, no celebrity Christianity, god/savior complexes, "yes men", hiding of issues, or cultures of silence & fear created within cross cultural or national workers.

Developing a goodness culture of valuing all at the table (old, young, male, female, single or married, etc) ensures the dignity and value of every person involved. There should be no compromise on accountability for leaders, public apologies and consequences especially when it comes to financial or moral misconduct.
