Heart of the Matter is a long-running teaching show hosted by Shawn McCraney that examines Mormonism, Christianity, and the evolving nature of faith. The program began in 2006 as a televised series in Salt Lake City comparing Mormonism with biblical Christianity. Over time, the show expanded beyond that original focus to critically examine evangelicalism, organized religion, and the institutional structures that shape modern faith.

Across more than 400 episodes, Heart of the Matter has followed a progression of ideas as Shawn McCraney has explored questions about biblical fulfillment, personal liberty in Christ, and the distinction between institutional religion and individual faith.

Today, the series continues to explore what we call the Yeshuan model of subjective faith — a perspective that emphasizes personal responsibility before God, freedom of conscience, and the spiritual life beyond religious institutions.

If you are interested in thoughtful discussion about faith, scripture, and the role of religion in modern life, Heart of the Matter offers a unique archive of teachings and conversations.
