Flourishing Forward | How To Flourish

A vision for human flourishing is all fine and good, but how do we get there? We’re going to spend some time talking about “social innovation” as we imagine participating in what we often call “God’s big vision of love”-- what Jesus more often called the “Kingdom of God.” What is social innovation, and how might we apply those ideas to our own relationships, workplaces, neighborhoods, and families?

If we’re going to talk about flourishing, it only makes sense that we’d talk to our partners from Flourish Placemaking Collective, who owns the Center of Belonging (where Fabric’s offices are located!). Come be a part of the conversation with Tabitha Montgomery and Tim Anderson, whose vision for neighborhood flourishing is worth participating in!
You can follow their work on Instagram or on their website.

What we practice, we become. From everyday acts of kindness to intentional habits of listening, generosity, and reflection, our imperfect efforts shape us and ripple outward into the world. This episode reflects on how small, steady practices can lead to real transformation.

We live in a world that either demands perfection or tempts us toward disengagement. But what if the real invitation is to show up, as we are: unfinished, learning, in-progress? This episode explores the myth of perfection and starts imagining what progress would feel like instead.
