Faith without religion.
Shift from Institutional Allegiance to Personal Faith
Live from Salt Lake City, Utah, Heart of the Matter is dedicated to worshiping God in Spirit and Truth. Hosted by Shawn McCraney, the show is set to introduce a new program, “Breaking Bread with Warren Puckett,” airing every Tuesday night before Heart of the Matter. Shawn also shared his recent interview with Bishop Earl, available on exmormonfiles.com, where they discuss transitioning from Mormonism to a living relationship with Jesus Christ.
In this episode, Shawn challenges the concept of material religion, arguing that the Material Church is a farce. He emphasizes that true worship is about a personal relationship with God, not institutional allegiance. Using biblical references, he illustrates the pattern of “material then spiritual,” starting with Adam’s creation and extending to the life and mission of Jesus Christ. Shawn asserts that the material aspects of religion were meant to point to a spiritual reality, culminating in the end of material religion with the destruction of the Jerusalem temple in 70 AD.
The show promises to delve deeper into these themes, aiming to liberate individuals from the constraints of institutional religion. A supporting pamphlet will be available to reinforce the message. As the episode concludes, Shawn invites viewers to engage in the discussion and explore the implications of these teachings.
