    Season 6 Trailer: Stay Woke?
    Aug 20 2025
    It’s season six of "The Raceless Gospel" podcast, and the question is: "Stay Woke?" It’s an inquiry for the sleepy-headed who are tired of the narrative of white-body supremacy and refuse to give it any more energy. After the November presidential election, 92% of African American women took off their capes and invested in sheets with higher thread counts. They climbed into bed, closed their eyes, and started counting sheep. While African Americans hit the snooze button, European Americans are slowly waking up to the reality that racism is bad for everybody. After Republican politicians colonized the expression "stay woke," the community’s call to remain aware of social injustice and discrimination, African Americans collectively decided—without a meeting—that rest is resistance. Still, "every shut eye ain’t sleep." Rev. Starlette Thomas, director of the Raceless Gospel Initiative at Good Faith Media, is host of "The Raceless Gospel" podcast. We’re discussing the correlation between semantic and somatic sovereignty, why white supremacists need to give their talking points a rest and why African Americans are having sweet dreams amid civil unrest.

    Season 5 Episode 7: Balance the Books
    Oct 16 2024
    It's season five of "The Raceless Gospel" podcast, and this time it's "A Love Offering" -- an examination of the North American church's questionable relationship with money and an excoriation of flock-fleecing shepherds and modern-day money changers who turn a dollar into health and wealth and call it ministry. Rev. Starlette Thomas, director of the Raceless Gospel Initiative at Good Faith Media, is host of "The Raceless Gospel" podcast. Thomas delivers an audio audit of the North American church's messages about giving. She talks about the dollars and cents of Christian ministry, and interrogates the so-called saving power of money and the churches that bank on this belief. Episode 7: "Balance the Books." What happened to the year of Jubilee and the year of the Lord’s favor? Something’s not adding up. In this episode, we discuss the need for an audit, which is to say a reckoning. Guest: Andrew Wilkes. "The Raceless Gospel" podcast is produced by Good Faith Media, headquartered in Norman, Oklahoma. "A Love Offering" is written and produced by Starlette Thomas, and edited by Cliff Vaughn.
