New Guy Scraps | Hi, Pod!

We had a week sharing stories playing Story Stitch as a community, so it seemed like a great moment to catch an inaugural "scraps" with the New Guy! Enjoy!

New Guy: Probing Curiosity

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!

New Guy | First Days

“First days” are a rare thing indeed! We welcomed Ian McConnell and family to the Fabric community for their first Sunday with us and heard from Ian about who he is, what excites him and a little about what to expect from his "default posture." 

Help Never Runs Out

Like our breath, help becomes scarce when we stop letting it flow freely in and out. Wouldn’t it be great if the healthy giving and receiving of help became as instinctive as breathing? 

Help Isn't Fair

The kind of help that’s really helpful? It’s not fair! In this episode, Chris Lillehei helps us take a good look at how our tendencies to compare and keep score get in the way of giving and receiving the help that is so needed. 

Help!

What if asking for help is the most honest and important thing you do every day? Right next to offering it? Jesus said “Ask and it will be given...” If it was no big deal, he wouldn’t have gone on about it and we wouldn’t have to talk about it.  In this episode, Melissa Lock kicks off a conversation that helps us dig into what keeps the kind of help we really need from flowing more freely in our lives and world.

The Gospel According to Greg | Nothing is Written in Stone

A stone with those ironic words carved into it has sat at the front of our gatherings for 17 years because being church isn’t about having the right beliefs or behaviors. It’s about the message that helps us be authentic to ourselves, each other, this world, and the 3rd Strand.
 

The Gospel According to Greg | God Doesn't Play Games

Do you think God is the sort of thing that makes up rules for us to follow? Bored or insecure enough to play games?  This view of God that has crept into "church" is one of the big reasons Greg started Fabric to escape; helping us see the intrinsic unity we're part of.
