Flourishing Forward | How To Flourish

A vision for human flourishing is all fine and good, but how do we get there? We’re going to spend some time talking about “social innovation” as we imagine participating in what we often call “God’s big vision of love”-- what Jesus more often called the “Kingdom of God.” What is social innovation, and how might we apply those ideas to our own relationships, workplaces, neighborhoods, and families?

Flourishing Forward | Tabitha Montgomery & Tim Anderson

If we’re going to talk about flourishing, it only makes sense that we’d talk to our partners from Flourish Placemaking Collective, who owns the Center of Belonging (where Fabric’s offices are located!). Come be a part of the conversation with Tabitha Montgomery and Tim Anderson, whose vision for neighborhood flourishing is worth participating in!

Practice Makes Progress | Practicing Being the Change

Spirituality isn’t about mastering the right beliefs or achieving moral perfection. It’s about practicing love, justice, and humility in real time— over and over again. As we close this conversation, we’ll reflect on how imperfect practice can make us the kind of people this world needs.

Practice Makes Progress | Practicing Mess-Blessing

In a divided world, too many of us avoid difficult conversations out of fear of “getting it wrong.” But growth happens in the tension. This episode explores how to show up for the hard conversations: with curiosity, courage, and compassion.

Practice Makes Progress | Practicing Bringing It All

What we practice, we become. From everyday acts of kindness to intentional habits of listening, generosity, and reflection, our imperfect efforts shape us and ripple outward into the world. This episode reflects on how small, steady practices can lead to real transformation.

Practice Makes Progress | Practicing Imperfection

We live in a world that either demands perfection or tempts us toward disengagement. But what if the real invitation is to show up, as we are: unfinished, learning, in-progress? This episode explores the myth of perfection and starts imagining what progress would feel like instead.

Unleashed | Impact

Let's look together at what it means to be unleashed into a world that needs our compassion, our experimental presence, and our love. Fabric doesn’t gather just to feel good, but to become participants in creating a world that could be. Simple, right?

Unleashed | Belonging

What if you didn’t have to believe the “right” things to find your place? What if showing up as your full, complicated, in-progress self was more than okay, but actually encouraged? This episode explores how belonging— real, no-performance-necessary belonging— isn’t the reward for right belief, but the soil where relationships grow, and faith/ trust can take root.
