Video Summary:

Shawn McCraney is inviting individuals to join a burgeoning movement that deviates from traditional church models by promoting a new Christian approach focused on subjective interpretation and unity beyond church authority, with the aim of forming a founding member base that embraces Christian love and inclusivity. This non-denominational movement encourages participants to engage without the constraints of dogmatic obligations, reflecting an intent to spread an innovative Christian viewpoint that aligns with the idea of God's laws being inscribed on individual hearts and minds.

Shawn's teaching encourages individuals from all religious backgrounds or none to embrace the freedom found in Christ, promoting a focus on spiritual liberty, learning, and love above traditional religious practices. The initiative is not about starting a new church or denomination but about creating an online community that prioritizes seeking God in spirit and truth, and this liberty in Christ is especially centered on loving God and neighbors.

Establishing a New Christian Movement

PRAYER

Show 51L Calling all founding Members Taped Sept 5 2021 Aired September 21st 2021

Have you ever wondered what it would have been like to have been on the ground floor of a world-wide movement? Like to have been in the garage with Steve Jobs when Apple was born, or working in the first McDonalds, in the crowd at Woodstock, or in the audience when the Beatles or Hendrix or the Pistols or Nirvana first played? What would it be like to have been on the Mayflower, or to have played a part in the Boston Tea Party, the Bolshivek Revolution, or among the followers of Jesus in His day?

Our presence at some of these events would come about through just pure luck of being at the right place at the right time. Others, like choosing to follow Jesus as a disciple would have required a certain dedication, a prescience and in His case courage amidst uncertainty. A few weeks ago we did a show called the Six Month Notice – and we explained that things were going to change in the ministry in 2022 and the way to participate was to send us an email with your name and state or country of residence. Many of you replied.

Last week we did a show called, The Birth of a New Christian View. We showed how in the first view that Roman Catholicism and Orthodoxies stems from a claimed linear line of papal authority and tradition. We then showed the rise of the Protestant Reformation with Martin Luther, and of Christian Universalism with Martin Streeter, and of the Restoration Movement led by Alexander Campbell. Then we showed you how that if you have been with us for any length of time you have witnessed the birth of a New Christian View – the Subjective View, the Fulfilled View, the No more Church View.

A Call for Founding Members

Putting these two past shows together and you are probably aware by now that we are in the process of officially launching out in 2022 with a brand new approach to the faith. Not a new denom. Not a church. An approach that anyone anywhere can embrace and incorporate into their mind and lives. We want any and all who want to be in on the ground floor to join us; those who have seen our evolution and progression or digression, and like where we are at, to become founding members.

It is an approach that encourages Christian unity under the auspices of non-church, non-authority, non-governance, and non-demanded obligation. It is really an embodiment of what we think God had in mind from the get go when He said He would write His laws on the minds and hearts of people after the wrapping up of all the former things. There is no heavenly directive to join in with us. God will not be more pleased with you if you do. Uniting together is not going to improve your standing with Him.

But we do hope that coming in and uniting with us that you will:

  • Be part of a burgeoning movement we believe will one day take over brick and mortar church playing.
  • Enjoy associations with others from all sorts of religious views who too just want to get along in genuine Christian love, and
  • Take advantage of everything we have been working on behind the scenes that will hopefully enlighten you in your walk with our King.

Invitation to Join

So, to be really direct now – we have created the group – its name will be revealed in 2022. Everyone who has been involved with us from the start make up the organizational framework, deconstructed as it is, and we are now reaching out to bring all of you in as FOUNDING members – simple as that. We do not want you to join us if you cannot see the viability of our approach to the faith. We want you if you want to join in the approach. We are taking the next six or so months to glean and gather all who like what we are about as a means to create a founding member list that once set will remain – and you may find yourself on the ground floor of a movement and approach that will someday spread.

We need you. We need strength from souls who love Jesus above doctrines, and dogmas and demands. We need numbers so we can unitedly reach out further into this.

Uniting for Liberty

World and liberate people trapped in unauthorized religious camps.

We need you to help lead – that is what we are gathering – leaders, who want to teach and show others the freedom they can have with God through Christ no matter what religion they choose to associate with or don’t. Your beliefs are irrelevant to us. Practices too. We invite all of you – Catholics, Baptists, Prebyterians, Methodists, Orthodoxies, Lutherans, Mormons, Jehovahs Witnesses, Seventh Day Adventists, Agnostics – whatever you are, whomever you are – we are calling out to you – now. We are NOT starting a church or denomination. LISTEN – if we were interested in starting a church or denomination, I would have approach ministry in a very different way from the start.

Embracing Liberty

I would have towed the line, upheld tradition, and created religious themes that attract the masses. I would have presented myself like a man of religious respect, and we would have used our weekly television presence to push our desired church out to a large established audience, and we would have been very wary of change, sticking closely to traditions. But we have waited. We have waited until we arrived at a place that is consistent with a reasonable view of scripture overall. We have waited until we could vet Christian traditions like the Trinity, eternal punishment and eschatologies that are out of sinc with scriptural and historical reality.

Most importantly we have waited on the Spirit to move us forward, to prepare a landing spot that will not change in the future. An online landing spot for people who seek God in spirit and truth and place love for God and Neighbor above ALL things. And that landing spot is labeled liberty. Ultra Liberty in Christ – for every soul. And in that liberty there is a focus on learning, light and love.

Invitation to Join

So, join us if you want Liberty, learning, light of God in an environment of agape love and if you want to be part of something from the start. Freely be a part of the founding participants as we launch this approach out into the world. We are not revealing much about the approach now, but we will – in 2022 – when the major changes to the Ministry unfold. In the meantime, join us if you are with us – by sending us an email at Shawn@alatheamedia.com and include your name and state or country of residence. If you do not want to be apart come 2022, we will not push you and will delete your private contact information on demand. But I think you will.
