    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. Music by Pond5. Episode release date: October 16, 2024.

Jesus said, “Feed my sheep”—not fleece my sheep. In pop culture and in many communities, preachers are mostly associated with mammon and greed. In this episode, we discuss the early church model of “sharing all things in common” and why everyone can’t have a seat at the table. Guest: Leah Grundset Davis.
