This episode covers 1836-1838 with many struggles, excommunications, Apostles being disfellowshipped, and friendships breaking down. Debts mount, dissidents abound, and Joseph and others struggle to clear things up, straiten things out, and keep the Church moving in the right direction. It is a very difficult time in the history of the Church. We see revelations to the Twelve, David Patten, and answers to questions from the Bible in the Book of Isaiah.
