Faith Beyond Ego and Tradition in Modern Christianity
Live from Salt Lake City, Utah, Heart of the Matter is a platform where we strive to worship God in Spirit and Truth. Hosted by Shawn McCraney, the show delves into the complexities of modern Christianity and challenges traditional religious approaches. In episode 43, Shawn introduces “Knife to a Gunfight,” a book aimed at those seeking a deeper understanding of God beyond conventional religious practices. Available in various formats, the book encourages readers to critically engage with its propositions.
The episode also touches on the ongoing verse-by-verse teachings through the New Testament, currently focusing on the Book of Revelation. These teachings are accessible online, allowing individuals to explore and question different interpretations.
Shawn shares a personal journey of overcoming narcissistic tendencies through faith in Jesus, emphasizing the transformative power of living according to the Spirit rather than the flesh. He candidly discusses the challenges of letting go of ego-driven desires and embracing a life centered on Christ.
The show also highlights the creative endeavors of Shawn’s daughter, Mallory, who has set scripture to music, and addresses a peculiar incident involving a mysterious mailing from the Mormon Church.
