In this episode, Preston Purnell explores the Great Apostasy, examining its causes, effects, and the path to restoration. He discusses the early growth of the church and the challenges it faced following the deaths of the apostles, highlighting the significant events that led to the fragmentation of Christian doctrine.

Preston emphasizes that the apostasy was not a total loss of the gospel but a gradual process that set the stage for the restoration of truth and priesthood authority. He addresses the communication challenges that hindered unity in the early church and the absence of a fixed canon, leading to doctrinal variations.

The conversation also touches on the political upheaval that contributed to the decentralization of Christianity and the role of significant events like the Protestant Reformation and the founding of America in promoting religious freedom.
