Lent 2023 Episode 1: Testing the Water

The Raceless Gospel Podcast

Fresh from the waters of baptism and just before he starts his public ministry, Jesus meets his one-person welcome committee: Satan. Satan not only tests the humanity of Jesus but is also testing the water of baptism. Satan is poking at Jesus’ flesh to see if Jesus has really died to self, to see if divinity will prematurely reveal itself. Satan wants to see if Jesus is fully committed to the role of Savior.

Rev. Starlette Thomas is your podcast pastor and host of “The Raceless Gospel” podcast series from Good Faith Media. This Lenten podcast will release seven Wednesday episodes starting February 22, 2023.

“Testing, Testing, 1, 2, 3,” the series is named for the three temptations of Jesus in the wilderness: bake sale for Satan, sky dive if you are who you say you are, and all these kingdoms can be yours for the low, low price of Satanic worship.

Each episode aims to get your attention. The Lenten podcast series offers a reminder that we, Christians, must have “ears to hear” what the Spirit is saying, namely that one’s calling comes with testing.

It’s not quite season four of the podcast but we’re getting close. We’ll walk with Jesus during his times of testing and be assured that we are in good company when we experience our own.

"The Raceless Gospel" podcast is produced by Good Faith Media, headquartered in Norman, Oklahoma.

"Testing, Testing, 1, 2, 3" is written and produced by Starlette Thomas, and edited by Demetrius Sadler. Music by Infraction.

Release Date: February 22, 2023
