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.

Episode 6: "Pick Up the Tab."

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.

Episode 5: "Flat Broke."

The future of the church and the future of the community are not synonymous. A flattened view of the coming “kin-dom,” the focus remains on squeezing the world into a building. In this episode, we discuss the broken institution seemingly on its last leg, the increase in church closures and what it means to gather as Christian believers.

Help! The love of God is trapped behind a paywall. In this episode, we flip over tables trying to get to it while discussing “cheap salvation” and the currency of faith.

Episode 3: "Quick Buck."

Just tell them that you must pay to stay on God’s good side. In this episode, we discuss the going rate for right-standing with God and the money laundered to give filthy rag-righteousness a good scrubbing.

Episode 2: "Money Talks."

Born with a silver spoon or as poor as a church mouse, how we were introduced to money determines our view and use for it. In this episode, we discuss our introduction to money and what the North American church says about the Benjamins.

Episode 1: "Cash Cow."

There is a long history of religious leaders milking members for money. Though they have been warned, the prosperity gospel keeps pumping out promises of health and wealth in exchange for greenbacks. In this episode, we discuss the North American church as big business and American empire-adjacent.
