HOTM Evangelicalism
Upon the new year of 2013, Shawn spoke outrightly and hosted a show called “The Price of Truth”. In this episode, he addressed that he was tired of criticizing the “splinter” in the eye of Mormonism, when Christianity had a “log” in its own. Shawn spoke openly saying he was going to shift into focusing on the issues with Evangelicalism. Immediately the Christian television station kicked him off the air. Shawn rented a warehouse and fit it out as a small studio to keep the broadcast alive, and continue to search for Truth. The HOTM 1.1 Series goes deep into the issues with Evangelicalism from the perspective of a direct relationship with God.
