About Yeshuans
What is Yeshuans?
Yeshuans is a free educational platform dedicated to dismantling religious authority and helping individuals walk in a grounded, personal, and direct relationship with God. Founded by Shawn McCraney, Delaney McCraney Norris, and contributors within the Yeshuan ThinkTank, Yeshuans provides open access to teachings, research, media, and programs that support seekers in discovering truth for themselves without institutional mediation.
Over the past two decades, we have produced more than 10,000 hours of original content born out of our own public search for truth outside institutional religion. Through the pressure to avoid hard questions, our work led us to a historical and biblical understanding of God’s completed work in Christ, a fulfilled perspective that brings an end to material forms of religion and restores spiritual freedom to the individual.
The Yeshuans platform offers a wide array of independent content intended for individuals to engage with and implement in their respective religious settings. Included in the available library are courses, books, TV shows, podcasts, articles, programs, events, art, music, forum discussions and more.
Our Objective
1 Research
Pursue information and truth personally, surfacing historical, contextual, and biblical insights that have long been suppressed, marginalized, or misunderstood.
2 Teach
Present this research through a wide variety of mediums so that motivated individuals can learn faster and more clearly than we did.
3 Expose authority
Identify and expose mechanisms that condemn, manipulate, control, or abuse individuals in the name of God, whether through doctrine, tradition, or institutional power.
4 Inspire to action
Encourage those who resonate with this work to personally live the Spirit of Christ – expressed through selfless, sacrificial, long-suffering love toward others.
5 Transform Religion
Support the grassroots transformation of religion – not by creating new institutions, but by cultivating individuals who grow in a direct, unencumbered relationship with Christ.
6 Redirect resources
Promote the redirection of religious resources away from hierarchy and control toward subjective education and humanitarian care.
We are a group of individuals who seek truth through Yeshua directly – not through religious systems, denominations, rituals, or collective identities. We welcome any individual who aims to do the same.
We don’t claim ownership of truth.
We will disagree, be wrong at times, and often fail you.
But, that’s the point: build believers who seek for themselves – no matter the cost.
