Deeply Understand The Great News
Verse by Verse Teachings is an independent, in-depth and deconstructed approach to understanding the Bible, led by Shawn McCraney. Established in 2013, Verse By Verse Teachings, formerly known as C.A.M.P.U.S. (Christian Anarchists Meeting Prayerfully to Understand Scripture) aims to uncover the full depth of scripture, verse by verse, without the constraints of institutional doctrines or denominational agendas.
Verse by Verse Teachings comprehensively aim to deeply engender an understanding of The Great News in individuals to empower them to stand on their own two feet in their relationship with God. We approach faith through the prioritization of selfless, agape love, subjectivity, and spiritual liberty.
What is The Great News?
The Great News is the realization that through the work of Jesus Christ, the burdens of sin, death, and fear have been fulfilled. Unlike the “Good News” presented by many modern Christian doctrines—often tied to conditions, rituals, or the fear of eternal punishment—The Great News declares that we now live in a new age of freedom. Jesus’ life, sacrifice, and return fulfilled the promises of scripture, eliminating the need for material religion or institutional authority.
In this age of Subjective Christianity, God relates to each of us personally, uniquely, and directly, without barriers. At Verse by Verse Teachings, we offer an avenue to help you understand exactly how The Bible can be understood and enacted in this light, and how it might apply to the lives of individual seekers of Truth.
What makes Verse by Verse Teachings unique?

- Non-Prescriptive, Spirit-led: The teachings intentionally do not adhere to any dogmatic traditions or approaches to doctrine, instead prioritizing truth through context.
