After Ellen White's death in 1915, the Seventh-day Adventist Church had to answer several questions about both the past and the future.

Would there be a successor to Ellen White's "prophetic gift?" How did prophetic inspiration work? And was she inspired at all?

As the church wrestled with these questions, the world was also dealing with the existential aftermath of a World War I.

Guests: Dwain Esmond from the White Estate and historian Michael Campbell
