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

If you had a break from the deluge of the have-to-do's of life this
summer, reality is about to hit. The question may be "How will you let it
hit?" You can't stop it and you will never get it quite right, and God
doesn't expect you to. God would love to work with you to let it all make
sense, however. We're talking about that.

Walter Mitty is a dreamer, but the problem is his dreams are locked in
the prison of his mind - they never see the light of day. Then
everything changes when Walter begins to take the risks necessary to
make dreams reality. We've all got dreams. God has dreams for us,
too. What if, together, we start taking the risks to make those dreams
reality? Adventure awaits!

One of the biggest hits of this year, The Lego Movie is the most special, most interesting, most extraordinary movie ever made...about Legos. Actually, this hilarious movie is much more than a crowd-pleaser for kids and adults. It's like a Brave New World meets The Matrix meets Toy Story. In this message we'll be exploring some of the surprisingly deep questions the movie raises about our roles on earth and the blurry line between ordinary people and extraordinary lives. You just might leave feeling like everything is awesome.

This year's Academy Award winner for Best Documentary(20 Feet from Stardom) offers a glimpse into the lives and careers of a small group of backup singers whose voices have been the key ingredient to countless chart-topping songs over the past 50 years, yet they have all remained mostly unknown by anyone outside of the music industry. This compelling film explores themes of talent, pride, race, gender, humility and fame. It's available at Redbox and on Netflix, so you really don't have an excuse to not watch it before August 10th when Andy Jolivette comes to discuss it at Jacob's Well. Join others to watch 20 Feet from Stardom...

Winner of the Academy Award for best picture, 12 Years a Slave is not only a great film, it’s an important film. If only it was only about history... This true story of Solomon Northup in the slavery days of our country helps us look at the ways our attitudes still enslave people and the strength of hope, dignity and perseverance that escaping it requires.

You've probably heard the line about not one snowflake being the same and how the same is true about human beings. Well, that's kind of corny, but it's true! The next time you're sitting on a patio, or walking the Midtown Global Market, or eating cheese curds at the fair, stop and see each "neighbor" who walks by. They, like you, are amazing amalgamations of stories, experiences, gifts, and dreams. Is this diversity an opportunity for awe and possibility or fear and isolation? We get to decide. Find a filled-in version of the outline from the message here.Mike Rusert, preaching

Come on, admit it, you have stopped to stare at a flower, a baby, and your cell phone – mouth wide open – thinking, “This is freaking amazing!” We live in a universe we will never fully comprehend, which is filled with phenomena, creatures and things we will stand in awe of no matter how smart we get. This doesn’t prove God exists or anything like it, but it sure does give us some perspective from which to see ourselves and learn our place. And it is kind of fun! Join us in being jaw-dropping amazed this July. This service was held outdoors at Minnehaha Falls, Please excuse the hum in the backgound....

Something we’ve noticed in the nearly eight year life of Jacob’s Well it is that those Jacob’s Wellers who aren’t here yet have moved along the continuum from being unengaged to uninterested. You may have experienced this, finding it harder and harder to share your enthusiasm for a life that includes God and your connection with this community, Jacob’s Well. Does that mean God and church don’t matter? And if they do, how, when and why would we share it? It’s time to sort out our thinking and to find ways to talk about what really matters.
