In moments of crisis, people show up. But what does it mean to stay?
In this conversation, Ian McConnell sits down with Greg Meyer, founding pastor of Fabric (originally Jacob’s Well), to reflect on community in the midst of upheaval, and the deeper work of building something that lasts. Recorded during a period of intense disruption and fear in Minnesota, this episode explores why short-term surges of care matter, but why long-term commitment matters even more.
Together, Ian and Greg talk about the “three bowls” of community life (gathering, small groups, and personal practice), the difference between showing up for our preferences versus our purpose, and how real community asks us not only to receive care, but to offer it; to be present for others even when it’s inconvenient or uncomfortable.
This is a conversation about resisting isolation, choosing relationship over retreat, and weaving ourselves into something stronger than any one moment of crisis.
Come for the urgency. Stay for the wisdom.

It takes courage to show up in public situations...and life! The Rehearsal is about, well, rehearsing these moments! We’re thrilled to welcome Fabric’s Danny McMillian up front for the first time for a less-rehearsed conversation with Melissa Lock to introduce The Rehearsal to us, and to take a meta look at the power of showing up and doing a hard thing, even if it’s not perfect.

Stories Matter. The stories we imagine, tell, and give our attention to shape us and our reality. And in the spirit of “life mirrors art, and art mirrors life,” we’re using the art of TV storytelling to help us see ourselves and our relationships with others and God– with a little more clarity and compassion. This episode features Fabric’s own Jessi Bergh talking with Ian McConnell about Stranger Things.

Shades of Green | Green Is Meant to Circulate
Sunday Jan 18, 2026
Sunday Jan 18, 2026
Generosity… in this economy?! Money might make things weird, but it also can make things beautiful. In our final week, we’ll talk about generosity: what it is, what it isn’t, and what it actually does to us (turns out, there’s fascinating brain chemistry involved). In a world that treats generosity as foolish or unrealistic, we’ll explore how this particular shade of green might be the one that frees us— not just spiritually, but practically, too.

CareIQ For a Cruel Moment

We decided to make a quick turn from money to CareIQ in this episode in hopes of resourcing one another in the wake of violence and cruelty that much of the Twin Cities and beyond are feeling.

Shades of Green | Whose Green is it Anyway?
Monday Jan 05, 2026
Monday Jan 05, 2026
“What’s mine is mine,” right? You earned it, it belongs to you, and you get to decide what to do with it. That’s the story most of us have inherited...and it makes sense. But that particular shade of green has also gotten us into trouble for, oh… a couple thousand years. In this first episode, we’ll step back and ask a more honest question: what do we really own, and what are we simply holding for a while? Changing the lens might just change how we live.

What Are We Waiting For? | So Big, So Small

A baby in a manger. A sky full of stars. The story of Christmas holds both; the small and the infinite, the ordinary and the sacred. Love arrives quietly, yet somehow it changes everything. We are a part of something so big, and so small.

Monday Dec 22, 2025
Even before the story is complete, joy breaks through. In friendship, in community, in shared moments that remind us who we are and to whom we belong. As we near Christmas, we practice noticing the light already flickering among us. Sometimes celebration is an act of trust…
