Heart of the Matter (HOTM)
Where Mormonism Meets Biblical Christianity Face to Face
For nearly 20 years of weekly live broadcasts, Heart of the Matter host Shawn McCraney has boldly dismantled claims to authority from God, helping seekers see LDS and Christian faith through a fulfilled, personal lens.
Yeshuans
Replacing religion with Subjective Education
Co-founded by Shawn and Delaney McCraney Norris, Yeshuans is a non-institutional, educational platform dedicated to subjective faith, fulfilled theology, and personal conviction over religious authority.
Shawn the Baptist
Boots on the ground, inviting all to The Front
Shawn the Baptist promotes a critical alternative to certainty: mercy, which deepens faith and increases one’s capacity to manage the difference of perspective inherent to human experience. He travels the nation with boots on the ground, inviting all to join The Front, unite through mercy, and steady our quaking society.
The FrontA United Front
A grassroots initiative uniting people of faith through mercy
The Front is a grassroots collective of individuals committed to mercy toward those who differ from them. The definition of God is intentionally left undefined; it gathers all who assert that the God they believe in cares about mercy for others above all. It has no material or religious requirements and collects no contact information.
Shawn McCraneyaka Shawn the Baptist
Artist, Christian Anarchist, Biblical Philosopher, “Donkey”
Artist, seeker, and iconoclast, Shawn Aaron McCraney carries a deep suspicion of institutions and culture. A Christian anarchist at heart, he recognizes only Christ as King and resists the demands of religion and society. For two decades, he has pursued the biblical narrative independently, seeking the Father in spirit and truth.
Delaney McCraney Norris
Metaphysical Architect
Through architecture, film, and religious work, Delaney McCraney Norris examines materialism in its physical, philosophical, and spiritual expressions. She advocates separating the material from the immaterial and freeing faith from material authority — a vision she advances as co-founder of Yeshuans.
