Since March of 2006, "Heart of the Matter" has been broadcast live from the capital of Mormonism, Salt Lake City, Utah. Each week, its host, Shawn McCraney contrasts Biblical truth with Mormon doctrine. The show is seen all over the world by virtue of dish, cable, streaming video, internet archives, and Youtube video segments. Many souls have come out of Mormonism and to a saving relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ as a direct result. Tens of thousands more are learning the truth about Mormonism every day. We invite you to take a moment and learn a little more about this growing and fruitful ministry.
FRUIT
"Heart of the Matter" has literally reached millions of television viewers over the years. Below is a sampling of emails we've received from our viewing audience.
I watch the show and am very moved by Mr. McCraney's
word and work. I have had my eyes opened, and feel changed by the truths of this
show and am reading the New Testament in a new light and angle that was never
taught to me in the LDS religion. God Bless the entire crew and staff for
bringing this program forth so that I could have my life changed.

I started watching your shows and couldn't figure out
what you were all about. Why were you attacking my church? Now I understand. And
I am a Christian because of HOTM! Thank you so much for putting up with all the
people throw at you. You are a Godsend to me.

Just wanted to email in and say the 3 years ago I got to
know a girl who was Mormon and I started to share my faith with her. It was
really, really hard! I also got her to watch a few episodes, and through it all
she gave her life to Christ about 6 months ago. And we are praying for her
family now. I just wanted to say thank you for everything that you do, and that
Christ is at work in your ministry.

I am so thankful that you are doing this work in Utah.
It's changed my life. It will change my children's lives. Grace really is
amazing! Things are so hard right now, but I know God will lead and take care of
me. God bless you Shawn! You are making a difference for God and people like
me.

HISTORY
It started with a road-side conversion - the spiritual rebirth of an active Mormon man living in Southern California. That was 1997. Then came the book, a website, and an invitation for author Shawn McCraney to be a guest on a Christian television program taped in Salt Lake City, Utah.
"The response to the interview was so overwhelming that the station manager invited me to host my own show," says McCraney, who produces and hosts the program today. "I had never done television before, and I wasn't even living in the state, but the Lord said, 'Do it,' so we did."
Today, Heart of the Matter has become a television ministry unlike any other. "It is unique in that people, in the privacy of their own home, can actually hear the truth about hte (LDS) church's history and doctrines - which are so contrary to Biblical truth - and at the same time hear what the Bible actually teaches." the shows (to date, there are over 160) cover "just about everything that has to do with Mormonism;" its history, doctrine, practices and culture. Says McCraney, "Because we use reliable resources and proof texts, the information we provide is generally unassailable."
Heart of the Matter has become an excellent resource for people who, for whatever reason, are seeking to understand this growing, but deceptive world-religion.
