And I’m Shawn McCraney, your host. We have a VERY unique program to present to you tonight. Call all your family and friends right now and tell them to tune in because I think it is going to be a fascinating program with huge potential. If you have family or friends who can’t watch HOTM on live television, tell them to go to www.hotm.tv and watch it live through streaming video. We retained a Canadian streaming company to expand and improve our streaming capabilities and boy have they come through. People tell me that watching the program through their computer is just as clean and no different than watching it on television. And that comes from Sweden! Check it out.

For two years now we have held Bible studies every Sunday afternoon here in Utah. Come and join us and learn the Bible from a non-religious perspective – what I mean by that is we try to teach it without any sectarian bias. So attend your respective churches in the morning, then join us Sunday afternoons at the University of Utah and then Sunday evenings at Utah State. Go to www.calvarycampus.com for more information. Now, this is important – if you can’t join us, you can get ALL of our verse by verse teachings online for free at www.calvarycampus.com. We think this is a great resource for people who can’t break free to attend in person. We hope you’ll either attend or listen to the audio files at Calvarycampus.com.

Resources and Events

“I was a Born-Again Mormon” has recently been made available to you through a downloadable PDF. Go to www.hotm.tv and you can have the book in your hands within minutes for any size donation – or for free, for that matter. Our objective is not to sell books but to get you to read this insider’s perspective of being LDS for forty years and then what it means to be born-again.

Coming up! In just two and a half weeks – our FOURTH ANNUAL Burning Heart 09 – The Big Tent Revival. Join us Saturday, September 5th from 5 to 8 pm for our statewide – even nationwide – ministerial outreach. At five PM we’ll gather together outside, eat, relax, fellowship, and get acquainted and re-acquainted with each other. Invite your neighbors, family and friends. Christians, Mormons, reprobates – whomever. Then around six, we’re going to move into the Big Tent, where Jeremiah’s Fire will lead in a “group worship.” We’ll hear some testimonies and then Adam’s Road (all the way out from Florida) will hit the stage and inspire us with their story through song.

I’ll take the microphone around 7pm and we’ll talk about the ministry, about what the Lord has done, how he has changed entire families, and then we’ll share a message that will introduce or reintroduce Jesus to your lives. You will have an opportunity to receive what He has offered every individual in the world for over two thousand years. We’ll conclude with open water baptisms. Then end in song and a collective time of prayer and worship. We want you there. Come as you are.
Saturday. Sept 5th
Sugarhouse Park SLC
5 to 8 pm

The Ministry's Mission

I am going to put everything on hold until next week so we can get to our guest.

Before I invite him on the set, I want to explain a few things. Our ministry, from the start, has been about reaching out to the lost and disaffected – especially those who for whatever reason – cannot assimilate into, ahem, “Mormonism proper.” We believe this is exactly what Jesus did, and for whom He came.

We maintain that Mormonism proper is so concerned with image, they make no place, at all, for the different, the artists, the struggling, the lost and the sinful. Add to this list, Men in white. May I introduce to you, Nick, the Man in White.

Let’s open up the phone lines:
(801) 973-8820
(801) 973-tv20

Nick is going to be with me on set throughout the show, so call with your questions or comments. While the operators are clearing the calls, let us take a minute and share our Partners program with you.

Heart Of The Matter
Heart Of The Matter

Established in 2006, Heart of the Matter is a live call-in show hosted by Shawn McCraney. It began by deconstructing Mormonism through a biblical lens and has since evolved into a broader exploration of personal faith, challenging the systems and doctrines of institutional religion. With thought-provoking topics and open dialogue, HOTM encourages viewers to prioritize their relationship with God over traditions or dogma. Episodes feature Q&A sessions, theological discussions, and deep dives into relevant spiritual issues.
