Okay, let’s get into racism – the subject that no one is talking about right now, so I figured I’d take a risk and be the first person to roll this ball.
Ahem.
On our YouTube channel, we published a conference message that explores the subject of racism from a perspective that you won’t hear from the tired agendas of the Conservative Right or the Progressive Left – both the “Christian” versions as well as the secular ones.
Someone who recently heard the message said it gave them goose bumps while they listened. I didn’t ask, but they may have been listening outdoors in Antarctica.
The message is for the body of Christ, not for the world.
I figure if you’re reading this article, you’re a follower of Jesus. If not, listen to the message anyway because you just might want to start following Him when you finish.
Remember, those who have responded to the gospel of the kingdom are called to be a microcosm, a seed plot, a tangible illustration of what life looks like when Jesus is running the show.
You can listen to the message below.
I hope it challenges, educates, and inspires.
Oh, and if you haven’t read it yet, this meaty article – A Jesus Response to the Race Problem – is a supplement to the above message.
Here is description of and introduction to the conference message.
Enjoy.

Welcome to the Third Race (The Solution to Racism) – Frank Viola
In this powerful and eye-opening message, Frank Viola unpacks one of the richest chapters in the entire Bible — Ephesians 2 — and reveals God’s radical answer to the problem of racism and human division.
What if the solution to racial tension isn’t found in politics, social movements, or human effort… but in a brand new humanity that God created in Christ?
Drawing from the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, Frank explains how Jesus’ death on the cross didn’t just reconcile us to God — it demolished the dividing wall between Jew and Gentile, creating something entirely new: **a Third Race**. This new species, called “the Church of God,” is neither Jew nor Gentile, but a completely new humanity where every barrier of race, ethnicity, culture, and class is overcome in Christ.
You’ll discover:
– Why the cross is the ultimate answer to racism
– The stunning revelation of the “Third Race” in Scripture
– How God is building a dwelling place for Himself through a unified people
– The origin of this new species and what it means for believers today
– Practical insights on living as this new humanity in a divided world
This teaching is part of Frank Viola’s exclusive **Master Class: Untraceable Riches – Ephesians in 3D**, a deep-dive series into Paul’s most profound letter. These messages have never been released publicly before and offer fresh, life-changing revelation on the riches we have in Christ.
Whether you’re tired of shallow Christianity or hungry for the deeper things of God, this message will challenge and encourage you to see the church not as another divided institution, but as God’s masterpiece — a living testimony of unity in diversity.
