Faith without religion.
Faith Intersections and Community Impact in Salt Lake City
In the heart of Salt Lake City, where Mormonism meets Biblical Christianity, Heart of the Matter continues to explore the intersections and divergences between these faiths. Hosted by Shawn McCraney, the program invites viewers worldwide to engage with its content through streaming video and archived episodes available at www.hotm.tv.
The show is not just about theological discussions; it also extends its mission to community service. Viewers are encouraged to support the Salt Lake Rescue Mission by donating new socks and winter coats, which are collected at the station and delivered to those in need.
Heart of the Matter also offers unique gatherings every Sunday, aptly named MILK and MEAT, catering to different levels of spiritual teaching. These gatherings are complemented by replays of the show on AM 820, a Christian radio station in Utah.
A new television program, “the Ex-Files,” hosted by Bishop Earl, is set to premiere, inviting former LDS members who have embraced Christianity to share their stories. Interested individuals can sign up at www.exmormonfiles.tv.
The show addresses the concept of being “born again,” emphasizing a spiritual rebirth over physical or ritualistic interpretations. This discussion challenges the LDS perspective, which often ties spiritual rebirth to religious ordinances.
The program also delves into the origins and creation of the Book of Mormon, questioning the plausibility of its production under Joseph Smith’s circumstances. It encourages viewers to consider the historical and cultural influences that may have shaped its narrative.
Heart of the Matter remains a platform for open dialogue, inviting first-time callers and engaging with emails from viewers, fostering a community of inquiry and exploration.
