About the Show
Heart of the Matter
Heart of the Matter (HOTM) is a decades-long, public exploration of Mormonism, Christianity, and the fulfilled faith in Yeshua, created and hosted by independent biblical philosopher Shawn McCraney.
Since 2006, HOTM has served as a place where Latter-day Saints, former believers, Christians, and spiritual seekers can openly examine doctrine, question long-held assumptions, and explore what a direct, personal walk with Christ looks like outside institutional religion. Through thousands of hours of teaching, live broadcasts, debates, conversations, and verse-by-verse study, HOTM has become a unique space where seekers can investigate God, scripture, and faith without pressure to join a church, accept authority, or belong to a system.
