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.

Ever get tired? Yep. Ever felt like letting up a little? Sure... And then did you ever sense that this was a time that mattered and despite feeling worn out and in need of a break it was time to dig in and keep going? The Fabric kids have been talking about going beyond for the last five weeks and helped our live gathering gain some perspective about going beyond in kindness, trust, and thankfulness!

While what gets shared of the Bible often seems to limit, the eyes of the Bible seem to be on the horizon, or even beyond it. The real danger is often less approaching the seemingly impossible than living within our limits!

The Bible certainly plays into the patriarchy of its era, but it also upended it. And if Jesus was a gauge for what threads in the fabric of our world really make a difference, then we can assume there is great power where others miss it. What are we overlooking today? Around us and within us.

This “dangerous” book provides some possibilities that are pretty counter-cultural; challenging what it means to be human and how to be a human alongside others. So, what does “being blessed” mean? Is it about securing the space around you, or could it be about creating more space for you and for those around you?

We aren’t the first generation to face threatening winds or to respond with desperation, denial, and despair. From cover to cover, the Bible reveals a powerful Spirit. What spirit do we inherit from those ancestors? Could it be just the kind of dangerous we need right now?

It’s easy to want to be a hero or to want one to rescue us. The Bible plays along with so many other cultures in creating heroes, but you might be surprised when you look deeper at some of those “heroes” and how they give us a picture of what always has shaped us into the people of love, justice, and hope that God imagines.

The Bible is hard to understand and apply to our world today. And face it, it has been used to control and hurt. But that's not the only kind of danger it poses. If we recognize its distance from us in time, language, and culture and approach it with humility, wonder, and openness, it can rock our status quo and usher in healing and growth that can only come from the 3-stranded place it embodies. Here Greg Meyer shares some tools that can help the Bible be that better kind of dangerous.
