The Price of Truth
Episode Description:
Shawn McCraney shares his journey from growing up in the Mormon faith to questioning the beliefs and practices he encountered, ultimately leading to a personal discovery of truth through a direct relationship with God in 1997. This transformation underscores his critique of organized religion, particularly Mormonism, as he pursues authentic living and seeks unfiltered truth outside of man-made systems.
Shawn shares his experience of discovering the truth of Jesus, emphasizing that this truth is accessible to everyone regardless of their background or religious affiliation, and criticizes organized religions, particularly Mormonism, for getting in the way of this connection. His ministry, focused on revealing the differences between Mormonism and a personal relationship with Jesus, has resulted in significant insights for many people, helping them leave Mormonism and embrace a more authentic faith in Jesus.
Shawn's teaching critiques Modern American Evangelical Christianity for its doctrine, culture, and practices, paralleling his previous scrutiny of Mormonism, by emphasizing its significant influence over a large number of adherents while claiming to represent Christ yet potentially misleading many with adulterated teachings. His evaluation stems from firsthand experience and a deep dive into biblical teachings, suggesting that, despite the churches’ claims, they might not adhere to the true essence of biblical truth, thereby affecting over a billion followers globally.
