Faith without religion.
Faith Beyond Boundaries 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 show invites viewers to experience a unique approach to worship through CAMPUS, a church that emphasizes the Word of God set to music, free from the trappings of modern entertainment.
Every Sunday, Heart of the Matter is replayed on AM 820, a station McCraney praises as the best Christian radio in Utah. The program also features “The Ex-Files,” where Bishop Earl interviews former LDS members who have embraced Christianity.
In a bold move, McCraney announces the upcoming Open Water Baptism on March 10th, inviting participants to publicly commit their lives to the Lord at various locations across Utah. This event underscores the ministry’s commitment to fostering a personal relationship with God, beyond the confines of organized religion.
McCraney challenges the notion that saving faith is tied to any one religion, critiquing the man-made doctrines of various denominations. He emphasizes that true prophets, like Jesus, are often without honor in their own country, as they speak biblical truth without fear.
The show delves into the Book of Mormon, questioning the origins of its names and drawing comparisons to known geographical locations. McCraney argues that many names in the Book of Mormon are derived from the Bible or other sources, casting doubt on its authenticity.
As Heart of the Matter continues to explore these themes, it invites viewers to examine their beliefs and seek truth beyond the boundaries of organized religion.
