Help Never Runs Out

Help!
30/01/2024 Duração: 38minWhat if asking for help is the most honest and important thing you do every day? Right next to offering it? Jesus said “Ask and it will be given...” If it was no big deal, he wouldn’t have gone on about it and we wouldn’t have to talk about it. In this episode, Melissa Lock kicks off a conversation that helps us dig into what keeps the kind of help we really need from flowing more freely in our lives and world.

The Gospel According to Greg | Nothing is Written in Stone
24/01/2024 Duração: 29minA stone with those ironic words carved into it has sat at the front of our gatherings for 17 years because being church isn’t about having the right beliefs or behaviors. It’s about the message that helps us be authentic to ourselves, each other, this world, and the 3rd Strand.

The Gospel According to Greg | God Doesn't Play Games
15/01/2024 Duração: 32minDo you think God is the sort of thing that makes up rules for us to follow? Bored or insecure enough to play games? This view of God that has crept into "church" is one of the big reasons Greg started Fabric to escape; helping us see the intrinsic unity we're part of.

The Gospel According to Greg | Pitcher at the Plate
09/01/2024 Duração: 36minOne big piece of Greg’s pitching mound is his suspicion of answers. Responses however, well, Greg nearly always has something to say about anything. So this is a moment of him basically just fielding (or swinging at) your questions!

It’s Hard Not To Practice
20/11/2023 Duração: 34minWe're each practicing all sorts of things all the time already. based on how intentional it is, you might call it a skill or a rut. "Spiritual" practices aren’t any harder than what you're doing already, but rather shape and use what you are doing already.

It’s Hard Not To Wonder
13/11/2023 Duração: 37minYou may wonder if that is a true assertion or not, but that just proves the point. There is nothing so certain that you don’t wonder about it. People who don’t like your wondering call it doubt, but it’s all the same. It’s the crack in the walls of certainty, the possibility that there is more to whatever it is. The bigger the question the harder it is to make a formula work, and what could be bigger than your spirituality. Let’s face it, it’s hard not to wonder. I wonder why?
-
It’s Hard Not To Pray
06/11/2023 Duração: 36minPrayer is your inner self speaking, shouting, and crying out beyond yourself. It’s hard not to do that. You know what else is hard not to do? Worry. In this episode, Greg Meyer helps us redirect some time from worry toward prayer. Find the podcast outline here!

It’s Hard Not To Connect
31/10/2023 Duração: 34minIf you aren’t marooned on a desert island (in which case you aren’t reading this) you connect with other things and people constantly. The question is what you do with those connections. It may feel easier to eliminate the connections to people unlike you, but what is really hard is the endless effort of keeping those people out of your world. Your spirituality is about being whole, those people make you whole, and you are good at what’s good for you. It’s hard not to connect.
-
It’s Hard Not To Grow
24/10/2023 Duração: 37minThe question isn’t whether you are growing or not, but how you are growing? You are adding new information, experiences, and people to your life every day. Spiritual growth isn’t something you do instead of other kinds, but through them.

Stuff That Works | Boxes
17/10/2023 Duração: 37minWhether you believe in God, don’t, or aren’t sure, you have a container you keep God in, a "God Box." Its walls are made of words, images, experiences, assumptions, and convictions. Some you are aware of, others you aren’t. It’s time to take a good look at yours and start renovating...expanding...upgrading!

Stuff That Works | Mirrors
09/10/2023 Duração: 34minDo you look at others the same way as you look at yourself? Probably not. We work with an uneven playing field that gives us a distorted view of ourselves and others, and that’s a problem. To be the person you can be for a world that needs you, you need to see yourself and others for who they really are
