Realizations, Part 2
November 6, 2025
In this episode of Heart of the Matter Radicalized, Shawn continues exploring twenty years of realizations about God, faith, and the end of material religion. Opening with a heartfelt call to pure faith in Yeshua—the author and finisher of belief—he contrasts the living Christ with the dead weight of institutional control.
Shawn challenges traditional views of God’s nature, clarifying that YAHAVAH is One eternal Being—spirit, power, and presence—made known through His Son, Yeshua. He lays out a series of “if/then” reflections showing how fulfilled faith has moved from law to liberty, from material religion to spiritual education, from worshiping through systems to serving through love.
In his closing reflection, Shawn critiques how organized religion “protects its brand” rather than embracing the broken souls Christ came to save. Using examples from culture, business, and the Statue of Liberty, he reminds listeners that the true brand of God is mercy—the tainted cross and the resurrected King who welcomes all.
LIVE FROM PLANET EARTH
THIS IS HEART OF THE MATTER RADICALIZED
And Im your host Shawn McCraney
Join me in prayer if you want as we talk to our God whose personal pronoun name, we believe is YAHAVAH
Who is our Father.
IN YESHUANS NAME!
Behind the scenes we are readying ourselves for the New Year and the first show of the New Year on January 6th 2026.
HOTM RADICALIZED
NOVEMBER 4th 2025
Realizations Part II
APP, get the, share the, it’s an all in one stop for all Yeshuan Content! Apple. Android. All the time. The Yeshuans.faith app.
We have bee working to discover the truth about God, the Bible and His Son for twenty years.
It all comes to some great conclusions for you to hear Tuesday January 6th 2026 on our new and final HOTM shows with title to be announced then.
So we have one more HOTM Radicalized after this – December and then the roll out come January. Mark your calendars. We suggest that it is worth it if you care about biblical truth and Christ affirming faith.
Speaking of faith, we hope that your faith is on the One whom God sent – His Son, Yeshua the Anointed one, The Word made Flesh, the Promised Messiah, God with us.
Above all things – all doctrines, practices, expressions, devotions, beliefs, rites and rituals, worship services, donations and drives we maintain that He and He alone is the author and finisher of the faith.
Did you hear that clearly – author and finisher . . . of the faith.
There is nothing before Him, there is nothing after Him when it come to human beings and who the living God wants us to see, know and understand from the heart.
Our minds will get things wrong about Him. Our will is not strong enough to always follow Him rightly. Our emotions are going to feel things that are not in accordance with what He would want us to feel – all of that is called being human, imperfect and unable to measure up to God’s desired.
So He sent His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law – born only with a destination to die for us, willingly, out of pure love for His Father and for us.
Does your heart of hearts look to and trust in Him? If so, you’ve got what God wants for you.
Is there more? Only more growth in Him, more maturity, more insights – just like we have in any long term relationship. But the faith from our heart out the gate or the faith in our heart after decades all amounts to the same thing – direct access God whose name is YAHAVAH.
Of anything you can do, obtain, create or accomplish in this life, having faith in the living Christ from the heart is the most valuable and a possession you want to cherish, grow and protect.
Forget religion. Forget demanded dogmas and doctrines and denominationalism – He is there for the knowing directly as evidenced by the Veil coming down at His death, signifying the way to God being open to all forevermore through Him.
Him.
And Him alone.
And now, how about our effort to enhance the cultural realm of believers by announcing our November 5 x 5’s where we give you our eleventh install of musical artists, mind-expanding books, five stirring films or series, five artists of any kind and five modern heroes for your consideration in the humanities.

Well, this is our second install of things we’ve realized over the years and our first tonight is most people have no idea on how to define or describe God and his make up.
Some say He is a Trinity, the Triune God, and really don’t even known how that word has been historically defined.
Others say he is like three forms of water – a solid like ice, a liquid like water and a gas like steam, some say that he is like an egg with a shell, white and a yolk, some say he is like the founders of Pep-boys or the three stooges meaning three completely separate beings like Manny Moe and Jack or Larry Moe and Curly.
Some say Jesus was God with us from the womb, from the cradle, from all eternity, some say he was never God but just a good man, and then there are the wild variances (like the LDS) who claim that God was once a man and we too can become his colleague someday in the pantheon of Gods.
We suggest that there is One God with the personal pronoun name of YAHAVAH. That His is uncreated, eternal, and a plural of two – not three – but that His Spirit is merely His Spirit that exhibits His power on and over things.
We maintain that this God has always been perfect and complete mixture of perfect masculine and perfect feminine and that in the Old Testament His masculine traits were more operative among men and that in the Apostolic Record His very living Words became flesh, dwelled among us in a man named Yeshua, whose mortal flesh was deified by His perfect obedience wherein He was the first human to qualify to take Himself into the presence of God with His resurrected body as our high priest.
We also maintain that the Spirit of God has changed over time proving it not a third person but merely the Spirit of YAHAVAH which later became synonymous with the Spirit of the Risen Christ and works to bring all souls to them.
We are more than willing to explain these positions to anyone interested but we openly allow all people to believe as they wish and see any differences as things that should not divide us – ever.

Another realization comes to you tonight by way of some If / Then’s – ready?
If the faith has been fulfilled by the victorious birth, life, death, resurrection, ascension and return of Christ to save His Bride, and . . .
if the world population has been returned to the Garden spiritually with each and every individual being free to choose how to live, and
if all souls have been reconciled to God by Christ . . .
And IF all souls have the indwelling of His Spirit calling to them to believe and receive Him by faith, and
If the world is getting better because of Him compared to what it was before, and
if the faith is now entirely subjective and of the Spirit . . .
and if, as the Bible describes, all material religion was ended at the cross, and
If Satan and His Angels have been Cast into the Lake of Fire . . .
CHRISTIANITY NEEDS TO MAKE A SHIFT IN THIS WORLD THAT INCLUDES . . .
GOING FROM . . .
TO . . .
Material Religion
Biblical Education
RITES, DEMANDS
Philosophy
SERVING THE INSTITUTION
SERVING THE WORLD
DOGMA

Another realization for tonight and frankly our last for the year as December is going to be a wrap up show of sorts, but this final realization is an example why organized religion was never the intention of God.
It involves something my Son in Law Larry taught me about marketing known as “Tainting the brand.”
See, when any organization on this material earth embarks on representing something to the world – a service, a product, a god – the natural result is the need to protect and defend whatever brand they offer the world and want to be known by.
McDonalds has a brand. Apple. Delta Airlines – every material institution with a budget, material assets, and the need to acquire new customers, members or citizens.
When Charlie Kirk was assassinated here in Utah the governor when so far as to actually say, relative to the shooter, “I hope he’s not one of us, that he drove in from another state” adding something to the effect that we (meaning the people of Utah) don’t do that here.”
What the governor was doing was trying to protect Utah’s brand, as if any state has the capacity to not create killers.
The point being, on earth, where reputations are everything to commerce and money-making, institutions are always bent on protecting their respective brands and do almost anything to avoid it being tainted.
I get that – because humans are so fearful and fickle they will choose not to eat at Subways if their spokesperson gets arrested for being a pedophile.
Nobody wants to have their brand associated with evil things or evil people – it taints their brand.
And don’t we love it when a group we dislike gets their particular brand tainted?
That BTK was an avid church-going deacon, that this deranged shooter was a Mormon, or this so in so is a republican or a democrat – we love it because by association they TAINT the brand of the group we hate.
For this reason, and the loss of income, organizations do everything possible to manage events and people and things that will taint them – fine, good.
But not when it comes to real faith in Christ. Not when it comes to Him and the faith He brought to earth because in His economy the brand cannot be tainted – in fact it really should be full of tainted people who are openly unafraid to be real, honest and authentic as broken, fallen and weak individuals.
Mormonism, like all world empires go to great lengths to make sure that their members do not taint the brand and readily excommunicate those who fail to represent – but in reality, I would think that a pastor or preacher would readily and openly embrace a person who fails in a public way, standing firm that such souls are the very reason God gave us His Son, and while admitting the perpetrators actions are unfortunate, their associate with the church was direct evidence of them trying to manage with willful ways.
In “other other” words, in the faith, we ought to be ready to embrace those who ostensibly taint the brand because the reality is, that is the community He serves – those that blemish His hard-earned reputaition.
See that is the point – in the faith, He has the reputation not us. He did what we could not do and those who follow Him authentically admit that they cannot measure up.
Institutional religion like Mormonism will bend over backward to obscure the evil its members do because see it as tainting the brand they want to represent to the earth.
But in my estimation, of all the groups on earth followers of the King should be the first to stand with their broken souls and while never condemning evil deeds be the first to associate with those who do – without shame but with courageous humility representing the heart of our King.
The fact that tainting a brand is a thing ought to automatically serve to illustrate why God is not about people bearing about a brand of perfection but a people humbly insuring that God’s brand is His Son – who he allowed to be consummately tainted through His unjustified death on the cross, but that He was ultimately vindicated three days later.
Of course, we want to honor Christ by our lives – but perfection in this is a lie, and so are institutions that seek to present themselves or their people as doing this very thing. It’s a deception and because of this all institutional forms of it will deceive, lie and hide its warts, siding with the institutional needs for appearances over the needs of the weak among their flock.
God tore the veil down at the death of His Son, folks. Top to bottom. And created a New Heaven, and a New earth, governed by a New Jerusalem from on high with new parents, the Bride and His Son to replace the old, Adam and Eve.
We are their children by faith, walking by the Spirit of His risen Son, and not by the letter of the Law.
This Spirit goes and move where it wants, and those who seek and desire to allow Him live accordingly.
Will some believers fail? All of them will fail in ways small and large. But we are not children by our strength but children of faith who needs strengthening through Him.
What is written on the Statue of Liberty in the New York Harbor? Listen to the words of Emma Lazarus dated November 2nd 1883
(GRAPHIC)
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles.
From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.
“Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!” cries she
With silent lips. “Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
As Yeshuan’s, we support no brand but the brand of receiving, helping and accepting the weak and lost, standing with them when they fall and not just being with them when they are productive and strong. We submit that this is the heart of the faith of our King but freely allow all to receive this or not.
See you in December for our last Heart of the Matter Radicalized.
