Episode 4: Bear Witness

Lectionary Text: Matthew 1:18-25

In this episode, listeners hear Joseph as a silent partner, who answers the call to bear witness.

Episode 2: Preaching Up a Hissy Fit

Lectionary Text: Matthew 3:1-12

John the Baptizer is screaming, “Prepare the way,” echoing the prophet Isaiah when he notices the Pharisees and Sadducees are standing in line.

In this episode, listeners hear John the Baptizer’s hissy fit aimed at the snake pit, a “brood of vipers” and learn the difference between water and fire baptism.

Episode 1: A Wake-Up Call

Lectionary Text: Matthew 24:36-44

Claims of the rapture are making the rounds but people need to keep their feet on the ground. No one is going anywhere right now. No one knows what time it is or how to get these false prophets to pipe down. In this episode, listeners are reminded of Jesus’s instructions to keep their eyes peeled but there is no peeking as no one knows when Jesus is coming.

Season six of “The Raceless Gospel” podcast continues in Advent, and it's an invitation to embody the evidence of your faith.

“Bear Witness” will move listeners away from faithless finger-pointing to becoming a case in point for the Jesus way.

Mary, the mother of Jesus, has a testimony. She put her body on the line after a different kind of pregnancy scare. The announcement that Jesus is coming makes people scared, including the men in and around her life, who are afraid for their lives in one way or another: John the Baptizer, the Pharisees and Sadducees, and Joseph, her soon-to-be husband--all bearing witness of one kind or another.
