The Garden of Eden

Faith, Fellowship, and Controversy in the Heart of Mormon Country

Live from Salt Lake City, Utah, the “Mecca of Mormonism,” Heart of the Matter is back with another engaging episode. I’m Shawn McCraney, your host, and we’re diving into some intriguing topics tonight. But first, a quick update on our live broadcasts. We’ve been experiencing some unusual occurrences in the studio—power outages, flashing lights, and even a light fixture mishap. So, we ask for your prayers to keep things running smoothly.

Mark your calendars for March 3rd, when we’ll be in Tooele for our traveling Pastor in the Pub at Denny’s. It’s a chance for fellowship and an open water baptism for those ready to publicly profess their faith. Visit www.bornagainmormon.com for more details.

Our weekly gathering at Denny’s on 5th South and 250 West will continue as “Pastorless in the Pub,” even if I’m not always present. The regulars are committed to keeping the spirit alive.

Last week, a caller named Harley from Kolob Canyon challenged my use of the term “categorically insipid” regarding the LDS church. After some research, I stand by my original statement. However, I appreciate the feedback and the opportunity to clarify.

Our book, “I Was A Born-Again Mormon,” is available at various locations, including Utah Lighthouse Ministry and several bookstores. We offer it for free to those in need, but if you can, please support local retailers by purchasing a copy.

Let’s continue the conversation and explore the LDS belief about the Garden of Eden’s location in Missouri near Adam-ondi-Ahman. Thank you for joining us, and let’s keep the dialogue open and respectful.
