The Reinvention

Heart of the Matter’s New Chapter in Faith and Media

In a heartfelt announcement from Salt Lake City, Shawn McCraney shared significant changes for the Heart of the Matter ministry. Reflecting on past events like Heart in the Park, he revealed plans for a final summer gathering on August 21st, 2017, featuring open water baptisms and fellowship. Acknowledging the ministry’s financial challenges, Shawn expressed gratitude for the support received and outlined a new direction inspired by a conversation with Niall from Ireland.

The ministry will embrace social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to make its content more accessible. This shift aims to preserve the Heart of the Matter’s legacy while reaching a broader audience. Despite his personal reservations about social media, Shawn emphasized the importance of adapting to ensure the ministry’s message endures.

As the current Heart of the Matter shows conclude on October 24th, 2017, a new program will launch on October 31st, targeting a fresh audience with a radical approach. CAMPUSchurch.tv will play a supportive role in this new venture. Shawn acknowledged the potential loss of some followers but expressed confidence in the ministry’s core supporters.

The transition marks a pivotal moment for Heart of the Matter, as it seeks to challenge religious traditions and engage with those seeking truth. Shawn remains committed to fostering unity and understanding within the faith community, despite past criticisms. As the ministry evolves, it aims to continue its impactful journey with renewed purpose and direction.
