We received a challenge from Jeff Thiemann: make one commitment toward being equipped and brave for challenging conversations. In this episode we're celebrating some "braggarts." To grow together, we've got to share these stories of what we're trying, so here it is. We're trying stuff!

Jeff Thiemann from Braver Angels’ “Reduce the Rancor” campaign spoke with Ian McConnell (with input from others at Fabric's live weekly gathering) about polarization during election seasons, and how we might be able to build capacity for both holding conviction and having difficult conversations.

Buried | Easter with Fabric
Tuesday Apr 02, 2024
Tuesday Apr 02, 2024
Maybe you wouldn't expect Easter to be a time to talk about zombies, but then again, it sort of makes sense, right? Some stories surrounding Easter give us a beautiful (if not kind of scary) look into both death and life and reminds us that there’s more to living than not being dead!

New Guy: Probing Curiosity
Monday Feb 26, 2024
Monday Feb 26, 2024
Curiosity about newbies is only natural! With Ian McConnell (the New Guy) talking about curiosity as a default posture toward new people and experiences, we took the opportunity to pose questions to Ian in an open Q&R (question and response) session. Listen in and start getting to know Ian as he's getting to know Fabric!
“Fabric” reminds us that life can be woven deeply within and among us. We are about weaving the strands of self, others, and the mystery beyond us.
