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

If you're not feeling like life's a pain and, in fact, you might even say life is good, this week will put a burr in your saddle. Consider that times of smooth sailing have a purpose beyond just kickin' back, enjoying the ride, or breathing a sigh of relief that you’re road is smooth. Maybe it’s time for you to fade a little and shine the spotlight on someone who needs you. Warning: This may be the best ride of your life, but seatbelts are required.

"I can’t make it!” That’s been gasped a million times. And even when we don’t say it, we scream it in our hearts. After all, it’s true. “I” can’t, but “we” can. All those people around you… they are pillars for your life. Learning God’s vision for this helps us know who to have in our lives and how to use them. Surround yourself with people who matter now! And before you go it alone, stretch out your hand and grasp hold of Jesus’ hand attached to a friend’s arm!

Interviewer: “So, how well do you know the Creator of the universe?” Respondent: “Um, like what do you mean? I know about him. Er, her, or… whatever. I mean we talk… sort of.” Interviewer: “Can I say, not BFF’s?” Respondent: “Yeah, I s’pose.”
That’s a problem, isn’t it? If God’s at the center, and God’s a functional stranger, then there’s some work to do to get in sync. Let’s plug-in.

Do you remember where you ten years ago when the World Trade Center towers fell? That event had an enormous impact in our national and individual consciousness. But it wasn't just that event, other towers of our society have tumbled. Housing, pensions, stock market, careers and the jobs that make them, leadership. When things start crumbling we start worrying. And when we worry, we have a tendency to turn in on ourselves and hold on to those things that we hold most dear, those things we treasure and can't imagine living without.
God knows this about us and know that it destroys people and community. Jesus had another idea. We're wondering if we couldn't start to trust that way of living.
Join us as we have a unique experience that takes this Jesus way of living and see where it leads us.

When J.K. Rowling began creating the world of Harry Potter over 15 years ago, she probably didn't have any idea that it would have such a big effect on so many people. Now, with the movie adaptation of the final book breaking records in the theaters, there are probably millions of Muggles out there mourning the end of the series. But what does Harry Potter really have to teach us about endings? Come join us at Field next week when we'll discuss the magic of Harry Potter, and how God wants us involved in the rebuilding of things once death is defeated.

There are times in history when profound shifts in the convention and tradition of the day break loose and new possibilities emerge. We can look around and see what needs to be done, but where does the courage to change come from? Just released in the theaters this week, The Help (the book by Kathryn Stockett) is a story about finding just that kind of courage. The world that God created didn’t include the kind of lines that have been drawn and continue to be drawn every day. It’s one thing to see the injustices around us, it’s entirely another thing to bring about the change that those injustices demand. Join us next week and we’ll take a look at how Stockett’s beautiful story of a group of women unwilling to stay silent is interwoven with the story of a God who calls us to action.

Chances are that you grew up with one foot in Hundred Acre Wood along with Christopher Robin, and partly because your parents got as much out of A.A. Milne’s stories as you did. There is something deeper than stuffed bears obsessed with honey there. These quirky, whimsical and sometimes troubled characters that populate the world of Pooh help us grasp some of the most simple and basic pieces of life. Maybe Pooh’s statement, “It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like "What about lunch?"” is really very like Jesus’, “Come to me all you who are tired and carrying heavy burdens and I will give you rest.”

What if there were super heroes? Well, there aren’t. But what if everyone sifted their lives carefully for the best in it, then amplified it and took on the problems of their family, neighborhood and world? Now that would be amazing! Who’d need superheroes? Maybe that was what Marvel comic book creators and Joe Johnston, movie creator, had in mind with Captain America. Maybe it is what God has in mind with you. And then there is the surprise ending that foreshadows something you had would never have expected, but was in the making all along.
