Fabric Podcast
Welcome to the Fabric podcast! Fabric is a thoughtful, progressive experiment in being church, based in South Minneapolis. We love hosting space where curiosity, connection, and inclusive belonging have space to stretch out and get comfy. Take the time you need to explore what we’re about, and when you’re ready, connect however feels best. The conversation is always fresh! Fabric is church, for the rest of us. #FabricMpls

Saturday Feb 19, 2022
Self-improvement is bigger than ever. The pandemic has given people permission to live in pajamas, and the time to focus on being better, stronger, healthier. What’s bad about that? Except… all the comparison. Better than what and who? And is that really how life is supposed to work? Should you, can you be better and better every day? Or is there something better than better?
