Re-birth

Shawn McCraney shares his journey from being deeply involved in the LDS Church to experiencing a spiritual awakening, emphasizing the necessity of being "born-again" through faith in Jesus Christ. He challenges members of the LDS Church to seek a personal, transformative relationship with Jesus, arguing that true spiritual rebirth is an essential, singular event rather than a gradual process influenced by church activities or positions.

Shawn emphasizes the importance of sharing the message of Jesus Christ as the central focus when engaging with people of different faiths, advocating for love, kindness, and understanding rather than criticizing or attacking their beliefs. He highlights that the transformative power and hope found in Jesus should be the anchor for those who may struggle with leaving their religious frameworks, as true change comes from embracing Jesus, not through religion or its figures.

Shawn advises individuals to approach God through prayer, acknowledge their sins, and seek forgiveness, inviting Jesus Christ into their lives to experience transformative change and divine guidance without reliance on religious institutions. He encourages patience and open communication, addressing topics like the nature of God, salvation, apostasy, and being born-again, while engaging with questions about leaving the LDS Church and the role of modern-day prophets.
