Don't Get Divorced
A Structured & Faith-Oriented Mentorship Program with Shawn Aaron McCraney
Shawn McCraney is a co-founder of Yeshuan.Faith and founder of The Great News Network. He is a father of three, a father-in-law to two, and a grandfather to three. Shawn has been married to Mary Marguerite (DuBose) for almost forty years. Shawn has sat with hundreds of people (and dozens of couples) mentoring them on Christian living and marriage. Shawn lives in Salt Lake City, Utah and mentors via remote access along with face-to-face encounters. He also facilitates two annual weekend (Fri-Sat) retreats a year – one free and one paid.
Shawn's “Marriage Mentoring Approach” (MMA) is restricted and only offered exclusively to
couples of faith who have had children together.
Pulling from his extensive knowledge of substantive biblical principles, Shawn has a no-holds barred approach to marital reconciliation, and is equipped at helping ameliorate the devastation caused by extra-marital affairs, substance abuse, physical addictions, financial mismanagement, debt resolution, compatibility problems and parenting disputes.
He believes that certain principles, established by God in His creation of the human race go a long way in solving most issues that typically serve to destroy marriages today. He expects you to do
do your homework (explained later).

Women Seeking Love In Faith
with Margo Hope
Join Margo as she appeals to women of faith about their search for love. Margo wants to let you know: I am a believer in Jesus Christ as the Son of God, Savior and Redeemer, a Yeshuan. My belief in Him began at age eight when I was baptized by Mormons. My belief in Him as Christ has matured through my life which included leaving mormonism, investigating new age philosophy, catholicism, protestantism, evangelicalism, and now Fulfillment. My belief now is that Christ was crucified, overcame death, resurrected, completely reconciled all humanity to His Father, and then returned around 70 A.D. to take His Bride to Heaven to begin the New Jerusalem. My knowing, through daily Bible reading, contemplative prayer/worship with the powerful Holy Spirit, is that Jesus Christ, Yeshua, is God! I love Him and can never re-pay Him for His sacrifice or for my life. He is so good!!

About Yeshuans
An Introduction
Welcome to Yeshuans, the Community Ministries branch of The Great News Netowrk. Our platform brings you content in the age of fulfillment from individuals dedicated to seeking YAHAVA in Spirit and Truth. We are here to offer a space and way for people to share insights and support one another's personal pursuit of knowledge of YAHAVA and Yeshua in the way the Spirit leads.
At Yeshuans, we find faith to be purely about about the freedom and love found in Yeshua. We want to empower individuals to explore their beliefs without pressure or judgment. Whether you're a scholar or just curious, you're welcome to join us on this journey.
Watch a video below from co-founders Shawn McCraney and Delaney McCraney.
What is a Yeshuan?
Yeshuans are characterized by two actions... faith and agape love. Yeshuans are seekers of YAHAVA in Spirit and Truth. They are guided by only the Spirit that produces faith and agape love. Yeshuan.Faith is a collective effort by truth-seeking individuals who prioritize seeking YAHAVA in Spirit and Truth before all histories, traditions, and cultures that shape modern Christianity. No matter who you are, or what doctrine you follow, if you seek YAHAVA in Spirit and Truth we welcome you as a Yeshuan.
The History of Yeshuans
Yeshuans organically congealed when a small group of disciples of Christ the King got to know each other online and realized that they shared similar views on what is traditionally called Christianity.
Mutually understanding the dissonance between the original intention of Christianity, and whit it represents today these nine souls – Kathy Maggie, Adnan Albeitawai, Grady Risely, Sarah Young, Delaney McCraney, Michael Lake, and Mary and Shawn McCraney – decided to form an organization that offers an alternative approach they hope to share with the world.
This approach (not church, not doctrine, not religion, not dogma) is founded on a fulfilled view of scripture, subjective faith, the Spirit and its fruit being primary (instead of recorded scripture) and the complete end of material religion.
Yeshuan’s have no doctrine other than faith and love and the liberty to believe and live as each individual desires.
An Expanded Characterization of Yeshuans: The Foundation of this Distinct Approach to Faith
Definition of a Yeshuan
As stated before, the definition of a Yeshuan is simple. Yeshuans are individuals (not collectives or groups), irrespective of religion, doctrine, dogma or belief who seek YAHAVA in Spirit and Truth.
The Yeshuan Approach
By this definition, Yeshuans are responsible to YAHAVA on their own, and will be inherently characterized by two thing: faith and love.
While Yeshuans place their faith on the finished work of Yeshua, they will try to promote and practice first and foremost selfless, sacrificial, insufferable love toward all people, all the time, and in every place as empowered by Him. The title is open to individuals of all religious, races, colors, creeds, genders, doctrines and lifestyles. To be a Yeshuan is to insist all people have the right to believe and live how they choose and that they should be received with unconditional love irrespective of their choices.
Effects of The Yeshuan Approach
With an exceedingly inclusive and open definition, and a prioritization of faith and love, there are some common effects of the Yeshuan Approach. Being a Yeshuan inherently comes with zero material or spiritual obligation. The Yeshuan title inherently disregards all claims to authority. Yeshuans approach one YAHAVA (and one another) in genuine humility rather than warring against flesh and blood.
Any material applications of Christianity that have been imposed on the world in the name of “Jesus Christ” are not related or incorporated into the definition or characterization of a Yeshuan. Yeshuans may associate with these material applications individually and subjectively, but it is in no way related to their identity as a Yeshuan. These applications include, but are not limited to, all brick and mortar religious empires, authority of Man to speak on behalf of God, religious tradition, any demand for money, any claims of religious discipline, and/or any political activities, allegiances, party affiliations or platforms that borrow from, use, or appeal to the name (or cause) of God, Jesus, Jesus Christ, Christ, or Christianity.
A Yeshuan's Use of the Bible
We acknowledge that the notion, characterization, and intention of YAHAVA and Yeshua are deeply rooted in Biblical text. That to understand YAHAVA or Yeshuan in more in depth, that this text is monumental and critical. We acknowledge that the Yeshuan Approach is originated and grounded in the text itself. We appeal to it. We study it. We learn from it.
However, as fervently as we admit that the the Biblical text can only be understood subjectively and that the seeker's intention toward YAHAVA will always take priority over all doctrinal interpretations. Meaning, in the Yeshuan Approach, one's interpretation of the Bible (i.e. one's perspective on doctrines such as eschatology, Trinity, eternal punishment, and modern religious practices) is second in priority to their general intention to seek YAHAVA in Spirit and Truth.
